Clojure Katas

This project contains a set of problems to help you get your hands dirty with Clojure. I hope we can add more problems and treat this as an ongoing project.

Get started

The project is set up so that you can solve problems one by one. All the problem skeletons are set up here, which is the place you can put your solutions.

Set up your environment

This project runs within Docker Compose, no need to set up additional dependencies!

Run Clojure Katas

To verify your answer, you can run:

$ docker-compose up test

We also implemented solution manual, to run katas with their solutions;

$ docker-compose up answer

How to practice

---

Say arranged-prob is not implemented under /src/clojure_katas/sine_angle.clj:

$ docker-compose up test
Performing task 'run' with profile(s): 'test'
Current kata to tackle:  clojure-katas.sine-angle/sine
false

After arranged-prob is implemented, it moves to the next problem:

Performing task 'run' with profile(s): 'test'

Testing clojure-katas.sine-angle-test

Ran 1 tests containing 2 assertions.
0 failures, 0 errors.
Current kata to tackle:  clojure-katas.arranged-prob/prob
false

Example: create a new kata

---

Create /src-answers/clojure-katas/arranged_prob.clj for solution.

(defn prob
  "p: total population,
   m: total number of sub-category,
   n: number of consecutive draws"
  [p, m, n]
  (if (>= 0 n) 1
    (* (double (/ m p)) (prob (- p 1) (- m 1) (- n 1)))))

Create /src/clojure-katas/arranged_prob.clj for problem challenge.

When using core/defproblem, you are required to put comments to describe the problem.

(ns clojure-katas.arranged-prob
  (:require [clojure-katas.core :as core]))

(core/defproblem prob
 "required documentation goes here"
  [p, m, n])

Creates test under /test/clojure-katas/arranged_prob_test.clj

(deftest arranged-prob-test
  (testing "conditional probability"
    (is (= (float 0.12311558) (float (prob 200 100 3))))))

Add clojure-katas.arranged-prob-test inside the problemsets defined in test_runner

(def problems
  '[clojure-katas.sine-angle-test
    clojure-katas.arranged-prob-test))

Run through solution to make sure it works:

$ docker-compose up answer
