# Strain
|
||
|
|
||
|
Implement the `keep` and `discard` operation on collections. Given a collection
|
||
|
and a predicate on the collection's elements, `keep` returns a new collection
|
||
|
containing those elements where the predicate is true, while `discard` returns
|
||
|
a new collection containing those elements where the predicate is false.
|
||
|
|
||
|
For example, given the collection of numbers:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
|
||
|
|
||
|
And the predicate:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- is the number even?
|
||
|
|
||
|
Then your keep operation should produce:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- 2, 4
|
||
|
|
||
|
While your discard operation should produce:
|
||
|
|
||
|
- 1, 3, 5
|
||
|
|
||
|
Note that the union of keep and discard is all the elements.
|
||
|
|
||
|
The functions may be called `keep` and `discard`, or they may need different
|
||
|
names in order to not clash with existing functions or concepts in your
|
||
|
language.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Restrictions
|
||
|
|
||
|
Keep your hands off that filter/reject/whatchamacallit functionality
|
||
|
provided by your standard library! Solve this one yourself using other
|
||
|
basic tools instead.

||
|

|
## Elm Installation
|
||
|
|
||
|
Refer to the [Exercism help page](http://exercism.io/languages/elm) for Elm
|
||
|
installation and learning resources.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Writing the Code
|
||
|
|
||
|
The first time you start an exercise, you'll need to ensure you have the
|
||
|
appropriate dependencies installed.
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
$ npm install
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Execute the tests with:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
$ npm test
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
Automatically run tests again when you save changes:
|
||
|
|
||
|
```bash
|
||
|
$ npm run watch
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
As you work your way through the test suite, be sure to remove the `skip <|`
|
||
|
calls from each test until you get them all passing!
