Codingbat for Golang

I found Nick Parlante's codingbat.com programming exercise site useful and enjoyable when I was learning Python. I wanted something similar to practice "little code" as I learn Golang. Since there is no official support for Go at codingbat.com, I created this repo as a port of the Codingbat Python exercises to Go.

I'm very grateful to Nick for having created Codingbat. But this is not an official Codingbat project. I've done my best to port the exercises and unit tests accurately. However, it is a port and I'm just learning Go so there could be errors and non-idiomatic code. These problems were almost certainly introduced by me, not CodingBat. If you find better ways to do things, feel free to submit a PR.

How to use

The repo is organized with each sub-directory representing the problems in a specific CodingBat category. Each directory has a <catagory>.go file with stub functions you need to finish coding to pass the unit tests in the <category>_test.go file in the same directory.

1. Install Go in your local environment in whatever way you want.
2. Clone the repo to your local environment: git clone https://github.com/rwehner/codingbat-go.git
3. Choose a directory and start coding solutions in its <category>.go file.
4. Validate your solutions by running go test -v in the sub-directory.

Solutions

Ideally, write your own. However, there is a solutions branch in this repo that has my solutions. As with the tests, these solutions are likely not particularly idiomatic, but they pass the tests.
