# Wordy
|
|
|
|
Write a program that takes a word problem and returns the answer as an integer.
|
|
|
|
## Step 1
|
|
|
|
E.g.
|
|
|
|
> What is 5 plus 13?
|
|
|
|
The program should handle large numbers and negative numbers.
|
|
|
|
Remember, that these are verbal word problems, not treated as you
|
|
normally would treat a written problem. This means that you calculate
|
|
as you move forward each step. In other words, you should ignore order
|
|
of operations. 3 + 2 * 3 = 15, not 9.
|
|
|
|
Use the tests to drive your solution by deleting the `skip` in one test
|
|
at a time.
|
|
|
|
## Step 2
|
|
|
|
E.g.
|
|
|
|
> What is 5 plus 13?
|
|
|
|
> What is 7 minus 5?
|
|
|
|
> What is 6 multiplied by 4?
|
|
|
|
> What is 25 divided by 5?
|
|
|
|
## Step 3
|
|
|
|
E.g.
|
|
|
|
> What is 5 plus 13 plus 6?
|
|
|
|
> What is 7 minus 5 minus 1?
|
|
|
|
> What is 9 minus 3 plus 5?
|
|
|
|
> What is 3 plus 5 minus 8?
|
|
|
|
## Step 4
|
|
|
|
E.g.
|
|
|
|
> What is 5 plus 13?
|
|
|
|
> What is 7 minus 5?
|
|
|
|
> What is 6 times 4?
|
|
|
|
> What is 25 divided by 5?
|
|
|
|
> What is 78 plus 5 minus 3?
|
|
|
|
> What is 18 times 3 plus 16?
|
|
|
|
> What is 4 times 3 divided by 6?
|
|
|
|
> What is 4 plus 3 times 2?
|
|
|
|
## Extensions
|
|
|
|
Implement questions of the type:
|
|
|
|
> What is 2 raised to the 5th power?
|
|
|
|
Remember to write failing tests for this code.
|
|
|
|
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 .
|
|
|
