I’ve built the following code (reverse not implemented) to solve the secret_handshake problem at exercism.io.
But the first test fails..
test Create a handshake for a number wink for 1 (SecretHandshakeTest)
secret_handshake_test.exs:13
Assertion with == failed
code: assert SecretHandshake.commands(1) == ["wink"]
left: ["wink", nil]
right: ["wink"]
stacktrace:
secret_handshake_test.exs:14: (test)
There’s a ["wink", nil] instead of a ["wink"] for the 1 case, and I can’t figure out why this is happening.
defmodule SecretHandshake do
@doc """

representation of the given `code`.
If the following bits are set, include the corresponding action in your list
of commands, in order from lowest to highest.

Each of this lines will return
nilfrom its implicitelsebranch.I am not sure though, why your result is
["wink", nil], it should be["wink" | nil].You should try to do some other approach by creating a list of tuples, where the first element is the bit that has to be set, the other is the word to put in the command. Then you simply fold over that list.
Something like this:
bit_set?/2is easily implementable using theBitwisemodule.lpvm
You’re right @NobbZ, it’s
["wink" | nil].Since the input is in decimal, converted the commands’ codes to that scale as well.
Your solution is generalist and functional, mine not so much. Will going to try yours now.
Thanks.
