# Secret Handshake
|
|
|
|
Given a decimal number, convert it to the appropriate sequence of events for a secret handshake.
|
|
|
|
> There are 10 types of people in the world: Those who understand
|
|
> binary, and those who don't.
|
|
|
|
You and your fellow cohort of those in the "know" when it comes to
|
|
binary decide to come up with a secret "handshake".
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
1 = wink
|
|
10 = double blink
|
|
100 = close your eyes
|
|
1000 = jump
|
|
|
|
|
|
10000 = Reverse the order of the operations in the secret handshake.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Here's a couple of examples:
|
|
|
|
Given the input 3, the function would return the array
|
|
["wink", "double blink"] because 3 is 11 in binary.
|
|
|
|
Given the input 19, the function would return the array
|
|
["double blink", "wink"] because 19 is 10011 in binary.
|
|
Notice that the addition of 16 (10000 in binary)
|
|
has caused the array to be reversed.
|
|
|
|
use Bitwise (or div/rem)
|
|
|
|
If you use Bitwise, an easy way to see if a particular bit is set is to compare
|
|
the binary AND (`&&&`) of a set of bits with the particular bit pattern you
|
|
want to check, and determine if the result is the same as the pattern you're
|
|
checking.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
Flags: 0b11011
|
|
Check: 0b11010
|
|
|
|
Flags &&& Check: 0b11010 (All checked bits are set)
|
|
|
|
Another:
|
|
|
|
Flags: 0b11011
|
|
Check: 0b10110
|
|
|
|
Flags &&& Check: 0b10010 (Third bit not set)
|
|
|
|
## Running tests
|
|
|
|
Execute the tests with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
$ elixir bob_test.exs
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
(Replace `bob_test.exs` with the name of the test file.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Pending tests
|
|
|
|
In the test suites, all but the first test have been skipped.
|
|
|
|
Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by
|
|
commenting out the relevant `@tag :pending` with a `#` symbol.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
```elixir
|
|
# @tag :pending
|
|
test "shouting" do
|
|
assert Bob.hey("WATCH OUT!") == "Whoa, chill out!"
|
|
end
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or, you can enable all the tests by commenting out the
|
|
`ExUnit.configure` line in the test suite.
|
|
|
|
```elixir
|
|
# ExUnit.configure exclude: :pending, trace: true
|
|
```
|
|
|
