# Largest Series Product
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Given a string of digits, calculate the largest product for a contiguous
|
||
|
|
substring of digits of length n.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, for the input `'1027839564'`, the largest product for a
|
||
|
|
series of 3 digits is 270 (9 * 5 * 6), and the largest product for a
|
||
|
|
series of 5 digits is 7560 (7 * 8 * 3 * 9 * 5).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that these series are only required to occupy *adjacent positions*
|
||
|
|
in the input; the digits need not be *numerically consecutive*.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For the input `'73167176531330624919225119674426574742355349194934'`,
|
||
|
|
the largest product for a series of 6 digits is 23520.

## 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!
