Like learning a musical instrument, programming requires daily practise.

The exercises are split into three folders: exercises, mandatory and extra. All homework in the exercise and ``mandatory section must be completed for homework by the following lesson.

The extra folder contains exercises that you can complete to challenge yourself, but are not required for the following lesson.

These files for the exercises are intended to be run as jest tests.

• Once you have cloned the repository, run npm install once in the terminal to install jest (and any necessary dependencies).
• To run all exercises/tests in the mandatory folder, run npm test
• To run a single exercise/test (for example mandatory/1-writer.js), run npm test -- --testPathPattern mandatory/1-writer.js (Remember, you can use tab-completion to get files relative to the current directory, so mTab ↹/1-Tab ↹ will autocomplete get you the test file starting with 1-)
• Some of the exercises do not use jest. To run these individually, use node directly. node mandatory/7-recipes.js. These are:
  • 7-recipes.js

For your homework, we'll be using test driven development to check your answers. Test driven development (or TDD) is the practice of writing tests for your code first, and then write your code to pass those tests. This is a very useful way of writing good quality code and is used in a lot of industries. You don't have to worry about knowing how this works, but if you're curious, engage with a volunteer to find out more! :)

1. Complete the challenges in each file and save it once you're happy with your changes
2. Run the script to check the results against the tests - all tests should read PASSED if you completed the challenges correctly. If a test reads FAILED, find the associated test to identify which function failed and fix it.
3. Raise a PR once you're happy with the quality of your code
