# Etl
|
|
|
|
We are going to do the `Transform` step of an Extract-Transform-Load.
|
|
|
|
### ETL
|
|
Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) is a fancy way of saying, "We have some crufty, legacy data over in this system, and now we need it in this shiny new system over here, so
|
|
we're going to migrate this."
|
|
|
|
(Typically, this is followed by, "We're only going to need to run this
|
|
once." That's then typically followed by much forehead slapping and
|
|
moaning about how stupid we could possibly be.)
|
|
|
|
### The goal
|
|
We're going to extract some scrabble scores from a legacy system.
|
|
|
|
The old system stored a list of letters per score:
|
|
|
|
- 1 point: "A", "E", "I", "O", "U", "L", "N", "R", "S", "T",
|
|
- 2 points: "D", "G",
|
|
- 3 points: "B", "C", "M", "P",
|
|
- 4 points: "F", "H", "V", "W", "Y",
|
|
- 5 points: "K",
|
|
- 8 points: "J", "X",
|
|
- 10 points: "Q", "Z",
|
|
|
|
The shiny new scrabble system instead stores the score per letter, which
|
|
makes it much faster and easier to calculate the score for a word. It
|
|
also stores the letters in lower-case regardless of the case of the
|
|
input letters:
|
|
|
|
- "a" is worth 1 point.
|
|
- "b" is worth 3 points.
|
|
- "c" is worth 3 points.
|
|
- "d" is worth 2 points.
|
|
- Etc.
|
|
|
|
Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to write a program that
|
|
transforms the legacy data format to the shiny new format.
|
|
|
|
### Notes
|
|
|
|
A final note about scoring, Scrabble is played around the world in a
|
|
variety of languages, each with its own unique scoring table. For
|
|
example, an "E" is scored at 2 in the Māori-language version of the
|
|
game while being scored at 4 in the Hawaiian-language version.
|
|
|
|
### Submitting Exercises
|
|
|
|
Note that, when trying to submit an exercise, make sure you're exercise file you're submitting is in the `exercism/csharp/<exerciseName>` directory.
|
|
|
|
For example, if you're submitting `bob.cs` for the Bob exercise, the submit command would be something like `exercism submit <path_to_exercism_dir>/csharp/bob/bob.cs`.

## Submitting Incomplete Problems
|
|
It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
