# Hints
## General
- Read about [comprehensions][elixir-comprehensions] in the Getting Started guide.
- Read about [lists][elixir-lists] in the Getting Started guide.
- Read about [maps][elixir-maps] in the Getting Started guide.
- Read about [keyword Lists][elixir-kwlists] in the Getting Started guide.
## 1. Suggest a combination
- In the list comprehension, use two _generators_ to create the cartesian product.
## 2. Filter out clashing outfits
- You can use _pattern matching_ to deconstruct in the _generator_ to bind the fields to a variable.
- Use a _filter_ expression to return false when the base colors match.
## 3. Filter by combination price
- There a number of [keyword list functions][kw-module] available to use to retrieve options from a keyword list.
- Use a _filter_ expression to return false when the combined price is greater than the maximum price.
