Phone Number
Clean up user-entered phone numbers so that they can be sent SMS messages.
The North American Numbering Plan (NANP) is a telephone numbering system used by many countries in North America like the United States, Canada or Bermuda. All NANP-countries share the same international country code: 1
.
NANP numbers are ten-digit numbers consisting of a three-digit Numbering Plan Area code, commonly known as area code, followed by a seven-digit local number. The first three digits of the local number represent the exchange code, followed by the unique four-digit number which is the subscriber number.
The format is usually represented as
(NXX)-NXX-XXXX
where N
is any digit from 2 through 9 and X
is any digit from 0 through 9.
Your task is to clean up differently formatted telephone numbers by removing punctuation and the country code (1) if present.
For example, the inputs
+1 (613)-995-0253
613-995-0253
1 613 995 0253
613.995.0253
should all produce the output
6139950253
Note: As this exercise only deals with telephone numbers used in NANP-countries, only 1 is considered a valid country code.
Getting Started
Make sure you have read the "Guides" section of the C track on the Exercism site. This covers the basic information on setting up the development environment expected by the exercises.
Passing the Tests
Get the first test compiling, linking and passing by following the three rules of test-driven development.
The included makefile can be used to create and run the tests using the test
task.
make test
Create just the functions you need to satisfy any compiler errors and get the test to fail. Then write just enough code to get the test to pass. Once you've done that, move onto the next test.
As you progress through the tests, take the time to refactor your implementation for readability and expressiveness and then go on to the next test.
Try to use standard C99 facilities in preference to writing your own low-level algorithms or facilities by hand.
