So I was just working through some of the materials over at HackerRank and I can’t quite figure out what they’re doing. I mean they give you a template

defmodule Solution do
end

And you have to write the code inline in the module, like this:

defmodule Solution do
   IO.puts("Hello World")
end

I can’t figure out what it’s doing to get that code to work. It’s not legal Elixir syntax (or is it?) so what’s the trick? I’m not trying to learn anything from HR because I’d like to think I have a good grasp of Elixir already. This strikes me as a poor resource for anyone trying to learn Elixir though.

Well it is legal, but it will be executed during compilation, not something you can easily assert.

They don’t give you the name of the function and which parameters it should have? It is in neither the tests provided? (I don’t remember if they provide some).

If you like to learn solving these puzzles I prefer Codewars. If not a great resource to hands on learning is Exercism

This is how you have to write code in hackerrank

defmodule Solution do
#Enter your code here. Read input from STDIN. Print output to STDOUT
  def print_n() do
      n = IO.gets("") |> String.trim |> String.to_integer


      Enum.each(1..n, fn _n -> IO.puts("Hello World") end)
  end
end
Solution.print_n()

this code is for “Hello World” challenge

Again I submitted a Hackerrank challenge called “Reverse a list”
submitted code is here:

defmodule Solution do
  def receive do
      IO.read(:all)
      |> String.trim
      |> String.split("\n")
      |> rev()
      |> Enum.map(& IO.inspect(String.to_integer(&1)))
  end
  def rev(list), do: rev(list, [])
  def rev([], acc), do: acc
  def rev([h | t], acc), do: rev(t, [h | acc])
end
Solution.receive()
