Raindrops
Convert a number to a string, the contents of which depend on the number's factors.
- If the number has 3 as a factor, output 'Pling'.
- If the number has 5 as a factor, output 'Plang'.
- If the number has 7 as a factor, output 'Plong'.
- If the number does not have 3, 5, or 7 as a factor, just pass the number's digits straight through.
Examples
- 28's factors are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28.
- In raindrop-speak, this would be a simple "Plong".
- 30's factors are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15, 30.
- In raindrop-speak, this would be a "PlingPlang".
- 34 has four factors: 1, 2, 17, and 34.
- In raindrop-speak, this would be "34".
No Stub
This may be the first Go track exercise you encounter without a stub: a
pre-existing raindrops.go file for your solution. You may not see stubs in
the future and should begin to get comfortable with creating your own Go files
for your solutions.
One way to figure out what the function signature(s) you would need is to look at the corresponding *_test.go file. It will show you what the package level functions(s) should be that the test will use to verify the solution.
Running the tests
To run the tests run the command go test from within the exercise directory.
If the test suite contains benchmarks, you can run these with the --bench and --benchmem
flags:
go test -v --bench . --benchmem
Keep in mind that each reviewer will run benchmarks on a different machine, with different specs, so the results from these benchmark tests may vary.
