Description

@bobbicodes

This issue describes how to implement the partition learning exercise for the Clojure track.

Getting started

Please please please read the docs before starting. Posting PRs without reading these docs will be a lot more frustrating for you during the review cycle, and exhaust Exercism's maintainers' time. So, before diving into the implementation, please read up on the following documents:

Please also watch the following video:

Goal

The goal of this exercise is to teach the student how the partition function can be used in Clojure.

Learning objectives

The student will gain a general understanding of:

  • The power of Clojure's sequence functions to transform data in contrast to imperative loops and recursion.

For a perfect example, check out these Clojure solutions to a very simple Advent of Code problem: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3w0FWqGC0PM

These solutions have also been gathered into a gist

Implementing

To implement a concept exercise, the following files must be created:

languages
└── clojure
    └── exercises
        └── concept
            └── <SLUG>
                ├── .docs
                |   ├── instructions.md
                |   ├── introduction.md
                |   ├── hints.md
                |   └── after.md (optional)
                ├── .meta
                |   |── design.md
                |   └── Example.clj
                ├── <NAME>.clj
                └── <NAME>_test.clj
