Core exercises about bash HOT 9 CLOSED

Currently, it looks like:

• hello-world
• leap
• error-handling
• pangram

Are the current "core" exercises.

from bash.

Proposed core exercises:

1 hello-world
2 leap
3 error-handling
4 pangram
5 hamming
6 armstrong-numbers
7 atbash-cipher
8 bob

What do you think about these?

We can of course update them in the future, but at least we have a place to start.

from bash.

Agreed. I'll update my PR (apologies for being slow with that - hectic week!)

Hi @budmc29. I am just looking over these, and I've realised that

error-handling cannot be both core AND core: false, unlocked_by: none as agreed in #128.

Currently, the core exercises stand as:

grains
hello-world
reverse-string
armstrong-numbers
hamming
pangram
luhn

This is a fairly good list, however I agree that some of the above should be added. I suggest adding bob and atbash-cipher as discussed above, and removing reverse-string.

This will leave us with 8 core, and a handful of core: false, unlocked_by: null.

from bash.

There definitely should be some basis of "introductory" and then the unlocked exercises from there.... I think this is a good adoption.

I am glad you agree @kotp - do you have any suggestions for which exercises should be "core"? I am going to be checking / amending the config.json as part of #103, and will be happy to tack this on afterwards 🙂

This is good to know - I'd suggest adding a couple more in, maybe a cipher based exercise and some arithmetic exercises. I think that:

• reverse-string
• two-fer
• hamming
• armstrong-numbers
• and possibly atbash-cipher

are all good candidates to be added as core exercises. What does everyone else think @exercism/bash ?

from bash.

I agree for hamming, armstrong-numbers, atbash-cipher to be added.

Maybe we should add bob as well, since it's a fun but challenging exercise in bash that involves RegEx.

We should focus on 7-8 core exercises to match a similar ration for core to non-core exercises like othertracks, and then focus on adding more exercises to the track.
