# Series
|
|
|
|
Write a program that will take a string of digits and give you all the contiguous substrings of length `n` in that string.
|
|
|
|
For example, the string "49142" has the following 3-digit series:
|
|
|
|
- 491
|
|
- 914
|
|
- 142
|
|
|
|
And the following 4-digit series:
|
|
|
|
- 4914
|
|
- 9142
|
|
|
|
And if you ask for a 6-digit series from a 5-digit string, you deserve
|
|
whatever you get.
|
|
|
|
Note that these series are only required to occupy *adjacent positions*
|
|
in the input; the digits need not be *numerically consecutive*.
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
Make sure you have read [the C++ page](http://exercism.io/languages/cpp) on
|
|
exercism.io. 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](http://butunclebob.com/ArticleS.UncleBob.TheThreeRulesOfTdd).
|
|
Create just enough structure by declaring namespaces, functions, classes,
|
|
etc., 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,
|
|
uncomment the next test by moving the following line past the next test.
|
|
|
|
```C++
|
|
#if defined(EXERCISM_RUN_ALL_TESTS)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This may result in compile errors as new constructs may be invoked that
|
|
you haven't yet declared or defined. Again, fix the compile errors minimally
|
|
to get a failing test, then change the code minimally to pass the test,
|
|
refactor your implementation for readability and expressiveness and then
|
|
go on to the next test.
|
|
|
|
Try to use standard C++11 facilities in preference to writing your own
|
|
low-level algorithms or facilities by hand. [CppReference](http://en.cppreference.com/)
|
|
is a wiki reference to the C++ language and standard library. If you
|
|
are new to C++, but have programmed in C, beware of
|
|
[C traps and pitfalls](http://www.slideshare.net/LegalizeAdulthood/c-traps-and-pitfalls-for-c-programmers).
