4Clojure Problems

Objectives

During this activity, students should be able to:

Use the Clojure programming language to solve a few challenging problems.

This activity helps the student develop the following skills, values and attitudes: ability to analyze and synthesize, capacity for identifying and solving problems, and efficient use of computer systems.

Activity Description

This activity can be developed individually or in pairs.

Solve the following problems from the 4Clojure web site:

Deliverables

For each individual problem, write a Clojure source file called problem_n.clj (where n is the problem number) using the following structure:

; Problem and authors info.
    
(use 'clojure.test)

(def p
  
  ;;; Clojure code that solves the problem.

)

(deftest test-p

  ;;; Unit tests.

)

(run-tests)

The unit tests should be same ones provided for that specific problem.

For example, for problem 21. Nth Element, the corresponding Clojure source file problem_21.clj would be:

; Problem 21: Nth Element

;----------------------------------------------------------

(use 'clojure.test)

(def p
  
  #(first (drop %2 %1))

)

(deftest test-p
  (is (= (p '(4 5 6 7) 2) 6))
  (is (= (p [:a :b :c] 0) :a))
  (is (= (p [1 2 3 4] 1) 2))
  (is (= (p '([1 2] [3 4] [5 6]) 2) [5 6])))

(run-tests)

Create a ZIP file containing all ten Clojure source files. Call this file 4clojure.zip.

Evaluation

This activity will be evaluated using the following criteria:

DA	One ore more programs were plagiarized.
10-100	Depending on the amount of exercises that were solved correctly.
