# Isogram
|
|
|
|
Determine if a word or phrase is an isogram.
|
|
|
|
An isogram (also known as a "nonpattern word") is a word or phrase without a repeating letter, however spaces and hyphens are allowed to appear multiple times.
|
|
|
|
Examples of isograms:
|
|
|
|
- lumberjacks
|
|
- background
|
|
- downstream
|
|
- six-year-old
|
|
|
|
The word *isograms*, however, is not an isogram, because the s repeats.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
