+# TODO
+
+Fix the typing thing. better loops
+
+
+# Task 1
+
+i feel like a dumbass. It's pretty straight forward, however:
+
+loop through each string, parse each string correctly (get max and min amounts and the char). then loop through the
+final char, every time a char compare is true, add to the count, if count is bigger then max we can quit before hand.
+afterwards in the end check if lower then min.
+
+mainly forgot that it was amount of valid instead of invalid. So....
+
+
+# Task 2
+
+since i already have the string converted as an array, just a matter of utilizing the usize and int types correctly.
+Which i truly didnt, i will also have to come back to this later to improve it.
