# Ocr Numbers
|
|
|
|
Write a program that, given a 3 x 4 grid of pipes, underscores, and spaces, can determine which number is represented, or whether it is garbled.
|
|
|
|
# Step One
|
|
|
|
To begin with, convert a simple binary font to a string containing 0 or 1.
|
|
|
|
The binary font uses pipes and underscores, four rows high and three columns wide.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
_ #
|
|
| | # zero.
|
|
|_| #
|
|
# the fourth row is always blank
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Is converted to "0"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
#
|
|
| # one.
|
|
| #
|
|
# (blank fourth row)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Is converted to "1"
|
|
|
|
If the input is the correct size, but not recognizable, your program should return '?'
|
|
|
|
If the input is the incorrect size, your program should return an error.
|
|
|
|
# Step Two
|
|
|
|
Update your program to recognize multi-character binary strings, replacing garbled numbers with ?
|
|
|
|
# Step Three
|
|
|
|
Update your program to recognize all numbers 0 through 9, both individually and as part of a larger string.
|
|
|
|
```

|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Is converted to "2"
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ #
|
|
| _| _||_||_ |_ ||_||_|| | # decimal numbers.
|
|
||_ _| | _||_| ||_| _||_| #
|
|
# fourth line is always blank
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Is converted to "1234567890"
|
|
|
|
# Step Four
|
|
|
|
Update your program to handle multiple numbers, one per line. When converting several lines, join the lines with commas.
|
|
|
|
```

|
|
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 .
|
|
|
