Katrina Owen 6151955420 Generate static exercise README templates
We are working towards making exercises stand-alone. That is to say: no more generating READMEs on the fly.

This will give maintainers more control over each individual exercise README, and it will also make some of the backend logic for delivering exercises simpler.

The README template uses the Go text/template package, and the default templates generate the same READMEs as we have been generating on the fly.  See the documentation in [regenerating exercise readmes][regenerate-docs] for details.

The READMEs can be generated at any time using a new 'generate' command in configlet. This command has not yet landed in master or been released, but can be built from source in the generate-readmes branch on [configlet][].

Sublist

Given two lists determine if the first list is contained within the second list, if the second list is contained within the first list, if both lists are contained within each other or if none of these are true.

Specifically, a list A is a sublist of list B if by dropping 0 or more elements from the front of B and 0 or more elements from the back of B you get a list that's completely equal to A.

Examples:

  • A = [1, 2, 3], B = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], A is a sublist of B
  • A = [3, 4, 5], B = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], A is a sublist of B
  • A = [3, 4], B = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], A is a sublist of B
  • A = [1, 2, 3], B = [1, 2, 3], A is equal to B
  • A = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], B = [2, 3, 4], A is a superlist of B
  • A = [1, 2, 4], B = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], A is not a superlist of, sublist of or equal to B

Elm Installation

Refer to the Exercism help page 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.

$ npm install

Execute the tests with:

$ npm test

Automatically run tests again when you save changes:

$ 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!

Submitting Incomplete Solutions

It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
