# Kindergarten Garden
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Write a program that, given a diagram, can tell you which plants each child in the kindergarten class is responsible for.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The kindergarten class is learning about growing plants. The teachers
|
||
|
|
thought it would be a good idea to give them actual seeds, plant them in
|
||
|
|
actual dirt, and grow actual plants.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
They've chosen to grow grass, clover, radishes, and violets.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To this end, they've put little styrofoam cups along the window sills,
|
||
|
|
and planted one type of plant in each cup, choosing randomly from the
|
||
|
|
available types of seeds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```plain
|
||
|
|
[window][window][window]
|
||
|
|
........................ # each dot represents a styrofoam cup
|
||
|
|
........................
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There are 12 children in the class:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Alice, Bob, Charlie, David,
|
||
|
|
- Eve, Fred, Ginny, Harriet,
|
||
|
|
- Ileana, Joseph, Kincaid, and Larry.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each child gets 4 cups, two on each row. The children are assigned to
|
||
|
|
cups in alphabetical order.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The following diagram represents Alice's plants:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```plain
|
||
|
|
[window][window][window]
|
||
|
|
VR......................
|
||
|
|
RG......................
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
So in the row nearest the window, she has a violet and a radish; in the
|
||
|
|
row behind that, she has a radish and some grass.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Your program will be given the plants from left-to-right starting with
|
||
|
|
the row nearest the windows. From this, it should be able to determine
|
||
|
|
which plants belong to which students.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
For example, if it's told that the garden looks like so:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```plain
|
||
|
|
[window][window][window]
|
||
|
|
VRCGVVRVCGGCCGVRGCVCGCGV
|
||
|
|
VRCCCGCRRGVCGCRVVCVGCGCV
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Then if asked for Alice's plants, it should provide:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Violets, radishes, violets, radishes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
While asking for Bob's plants would yield:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Clover, grass, clover, clover
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To run the tests simply run the command `go test` in the exercise directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the `-bench`
|
||
|
|
flag:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
go test -bench .
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
