# Help
## Running the tests
From the terminal, change to the base directory of the exercise then execute the tests with:
```bash
$ mix test
```
This will execute the test file found in the `test` subfolder -- a file ending in `_test.exs`
Documentation:
* [`mix test` - Elixir's test execution tool](https://hexdocs.pm/mix/Mix.Tasks.Test.html)
* [`ExUnit` - Elixir's unit test library](https://hexdocs.pm/ex_unit/ExUnit.html)
## Pending tests
In test suites of practice exercises, all but the first test have been tagged to be skipped.
Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by commenting out the relevant `@tag :pending` with a `#` symbol.
For example:
```elixir
# @tag :pending
test "shouting" do
assert Bob.hey("WATCH OUT!") == "Whoa, chill out!"
end
```
If you wish to run all tests at once, you can include all skipped test by using the `--include` flag on the `mix test` command:
```bash
$ mix test --include pending
```
Or, you can enable all the tests by commenting out the `ExUnit.configure` line in the file `test/test_helper.exs`.
```elixir
# ExUnit.configure(exclude: :pending, trace: true)
```
## Useful `mix test` options
* `test/<FILE>.exs:LINENUM` - runs only a single test, the test from `<FILE>.exs` whose definition is on line `LINENUM`
* `--failed` - runs only tests that failed the last time they ran
* `--max-failures` - the suite stops evaluating tests when this number of test failures
is reached
* `--seed 0` - disables randomization so the tests in a single file will always be ran
in the same order they were defined in
## Submitting your solution
You can submit your solution using the `exercism submit lib/high_school_sweetheart.ex` command.
This command will upload your solution to the Exercism website and print the solution page's URL.
It's possible to submit an incomplete solution which allows you to:
- See how others have completed the exercise
- Request help from a mentor
## Need to get help?
If you'd like help solving the exercise, check the following pages:
- The [Elixir track's documentation](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/elixir)
- The [Elixir track's programming category on the forum](https://forum.exercism.org/c/programming/elixir)
- [Exercism's programming category on the forum](https://forum.exercism.org/c/programming/5)
- The [Frequently Asked Questions](https://exercism.org/docs/using/faqs)
Should those resources not suffice, you could submit your (incomplete) solution to request mentoring.
If you're stuck on something, it may help to look at some of the [available resources](https://exercism.org/docs/tracks/elixir/resources) out there where answers might be found.

# Hints
## General
- Read about strings in the official [Getting Started guide][getting-started-strings].
- Browse the [functions available in the _String module_][string-module-functions] to discover which operations on strings Elixir's standard library offers.
## 1. Get the name's first letter
- There is a [built-in function][string-first] to get the first character from a string.
- There are multiple [built-in functions][string-trim] to remove leading, trailing, or leading and trailing whitespaces from a string.
## 2. Format the first letter as an initial
- There is a [built-in function][string-upcase] to convert all characters in a string to their uppercase variant.
- There is an [operator][kernel-concat] that concatenates two strings.
## 3. Split the full name into the first name and the last name
- There is a [built-in function][string-split] that splits a string on whitespace characters.
- A few first elements of a list can be assigned to variables by pattern matching on the list.
## 4. Put the initials inside of the heart
- There is a special syntax for [interpolating][string-interpolation] an expression inside of a string.
- There is a special syntax for writing [multiline strings][heredoc-syntax] without needing to escape newlines.

# High School Sweetheart
Welcome to High School Sweetheart on Exercism's Elixir Track.
If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
If you get stuck on the exercise, check out `HINTS.md`, but try and solve it without using those first :)
## Introduction
## Strings
Strings in Elixir are delimited by double quotes, and they are encoded in UTF-8:
```elixir
"Hi!"
```
Strings can be concatenated using the `<>/2` operator:
```elixir
"Welcome to" <> " " <> "New York"
# => "Welcome to New York"
```
Strings in Elixir support interpolation using the `#{}` syntax:
```elixir
"6 * 7 = #{6 * 7}"
# => "6 * 7 = 42"
```
To put a newline character in a string, use the `\n` escape code:
```elixir
"1\n2\n3\n"
```
To comfortably work with texts with a lot of newlines, use the triple-double-quote heredoc syntax instead:
```elixir
"""
1
2
3
"""
```
Elixir provides many functions for working with strings in the `String` module.
## Pipe Operator
The `|>` operator is called the pipe operator. It can be used to chain function calls together in such a way that the value returned by the previous function call is passed as the first argument to the next function call.
```elixir
"hello"
|> String.upcase()
|> Kernel.<>("?!")
# => "HELLO?!"
```
## Instructions
In this exercise, you are going to help high school sweethearts profess their love on social media by generating an ASCII heart with their initials:
```
****** ******
** ** ** **
** ** ** **
** * **
** **
** J. K. + M. B. **
** **
** **
** **
** **
** **
** **
***
*
```
## 1. Get the name's first letter
Implement the `HighSchoolSweetheart.first_letter/1` function. It should take a name and return its first letter. It should clean up any unnecessary whitespace from the name.
```elixir
HighSchoolSweetheart.first_letter("Jane")
# => "J"
```
## 2. Format the first letter as an initial
Implement the `HighSchoolSweetheart.initial/1` function. It should take a name and return its first letter, uppercase, followed by a dot. Make sure to reuse `HighSchoolSweetheart.first_letter/1` that you defined in the previous step.
```elixir
HighSchoolSweetheart.initial("Robert")
# => "R."
```
## 3. Split the full name into the first name and the last name
Implement the `HighSchoolSweetheart.initials/1` function. It should take a full name, consisting of a first name and a last name separated by a space, and return the initials. Make sure to reuse `HighSchoolSweetheart.initial/1` that you defined in the previous step.
```elixir
HighSchoolSweetheart.initials("Lance Green")
# => "L. G."
```
## 4. Put the initials inside of the heart
Implement the `HighSchoolSweetheart.pair/2` function. It should take two full names and return the initials inside an ASCII heart. Make sure to reuse `HighSchoolSweetheart.initials/1` that you defined in the previous step.
```elixir
HighSchoolSweetheart.pair("Blake Miller", "Riley Lewis")
# => """
# ****** ******
# ** ** ** **
# ** ** ** **
# ** * **
# ** **
# ** B. M. + R. L. **
# ** **
# ** **
# ** **
# ** **
# ** **
# ** **
# ***
# *
# """
```
