# Bob
|
|
|
|
Bob is a lackadaisical teenager. In conversation, his responses are very limited.
|
|
|
|
Bob answers 'Sure.' if you ask him a question, such as "How are you?".
|
|
|
|
He answers 'Whoa, chill out!' if you YELL AT HIM (in all capitals).
|
|
|
|
He answers 'Calm down, I know what I'm doing!' if you yell a question at him.
|
|
|
|
He says 'Fine. Be that way!' if you address him without actually saying
|
|
anything.
|
|
|
|
He answers 'Whatever.' to anything else.
|
|
|
|
Bob's conversational partner is a purist when it comes to written communication and always follows normal rules regarding sentence punctuation in English.
|

|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have read the "Guides" section of the
|
|
[C track][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][3-tdd-rules].
|
|
|
|
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.
