🚧 Roadmap

• Replicate function assignature from solution-0.ts to new file when executing make new-solution command
• After creating a new challenge, open all new files in VSCode
• Update all challenges with the new structure after finishing the challenge list
• Auto update number of challenges completed in each level after finishing each challenge when executing make commit command
• Move root config files to a .config folder
• Create a docs folder with a README.md file with some tips and tricks

💡 Study Method

My method for solving the challenges is:

0. Preparation
   1. Create the challenge folder and files (using the make new command)
1. 1st Step
   1. Read the challenge description
   2. Draw a solution
   3. Write the solution in TypeScript without looking at the solution hints
   4. Run the tests (using the make test-changed command)
   5. Refactor the solution
   6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all tests pass
   7. Evaluate the complexity of the solution
   8. Commit the solution (using the make commit command)
2. 2dn Step
   1. Verify the solution hints
   2. Compare my solution with the solution hints
   3. Try to improve my solution or create a new one based on the solution hints (using the make new-solution command)
   4. Repeat steps 4 to 10 until I'm satisfied with the solution
   5. Commit the solution (using the make commit command)
3. 3rd Step
   1. Watch the solution video
   2. Implement other solutions from the video or refactor my solution based on the video
   3. Commit the solution (using the make commit command)

💿 Installation

cd algoexpert-solutions

make install

✅ Tests

I have created a Makefile to help you run the tests.

Run all tests:

make test

Run a specific test:

make test t=CHALLENGE_NAME

Example: make test t=two-number-sum

Run changed tests:

make test-changed

🔧 Extras

I have also created a Makefile with some extra commands.

Create a new challenge folder and files:

make new [n=CHALLENGE_NAME] [l=CHALLENGE_LEVEL] [c=CHALLENGE_CATEGORY]

📝 Example:
make new (fill the prompts) OR make new n=two-number-sum l=easy c=arrays

Levels: easy, medium, hard, very-hard

This will create:

• a folder (src/easy/two-number-sum)
• a solution-0.ts file (the file where you will write your solution, you can create more if you want and update the test file)
• a test file solution.spec.ts
• a case test file cases.ts
• a README.md file

Commit your solutions:

make commit [m=COMMIT_MESSAGE]

📝 Example: make commit m="feat: add two number sum solution"
if you don't pass the m argument, it will commit with the message
feat(CHALLENGE_NAME): add solution {SOLUTION_NUMBER}

Create new solution:

make new-solution [n=CHALLENGE_NAME_SNAKE] [l=CHALLENGE_LEVEL_LOWER]

📝 Example: make new-solution [l=easy] [n=two-number-sum] OR make new-solution (fill the prompts)

This will create a new solution file solution-{SOLUTION_NUMBER}.ts and update the test file.

If solution-0.ts already exists, it will create solution-1.ts and update index.ts file and the test file. And so on...
