Family Tree

Maps allow you to create tree like structures using keys and values. Thus it's possible to make a family tree. In the Elixir cell below, create a family tree that is a map.

p1g1[Grandparent]
p1g2[Grandparent]
p2g1[Grandparent]
p2g2[Grandparent]
p1[Parent]
p2[Parent]
c1[Child]

c1 --> p1
c1 --> p2
p1 --> p1g1
p1 --> p1g2
p2 --> p2g1
p2 --> p2g2

The map will start as a person with a :name, :age, :status, and :parents keys.

  • name is string.
  • age is an integer.
  • status will be an atom of :child, :parent, or :grandparent.
  • parents should be a list of maps with their own :name, :age, :status, and :parents keys.

In the Elixir cell below, create a map that represents the following family tree diagram.

    class Arthur {
        name: "Arthur"
        status: :child
        age: 22
    }
    class Uther {
        name: "Uther"
        status: :parent
        age: 56
    }
    class Ygraine {
        name: "Ygraine"
        status: :parent
        age: 45
    }
    class Han {
        name: "Han"
        status: :grand_parent
        age: 81
    }
    class Leia {
        name: "Leia"
        status: :grand_parent
        age: 82
    }
    class Bob {
        name: "Bob"
        status: :grand_parent
        age: 68
    }
    class Bridget {
        name: "Bridget"
        status: :grand_parent
        age: 70
    }

    Arthur --> Uther
    Arthur --> Ygraine

    Ygraine --> Bridget
    Uther --> Han

Example solution

This is an example of nested data.

%{
  name: "Arthur",
  status: :child,
  age: 22,
  parents: [
    %{
      name: "Uther",
      status: :parent,
      age: 56,
      parents: [
        %{name: "Han", status: :grand_parent, age: 81},
        %{name: "Leia", status: :grand_parent, age: 82}
      ]
    },
    %{
      name: "Ygraine",
      status: :parent,
      age: 68,
      parents: [
        %{name: "Bob", status: :grand_parent, age: 68},
        %{name: "Bridget", status: :grand_parent, age: 70}
      ]
    }
  ]
}

You might also consider extracting each family member as its own variable.

han = %{name: "Han", status: :grand_parent, age: 81}
leia = %{name: "Leia", status: :grand_parent, age: 82}
bob = %{name: "Bob", status: :grand_parent, age: 68}
bridget = %{name: "Bridget", status: :grand_parent, age: 70}

uther = %{name: "Uther", status: :parent, age: 56, parents: [han, leia]}
ygraine = %{name: "Ygraine", status: :parent, age: 68, parents: [bob, bridget]}

arthur = %{name: "Arthur", status: :child, age: 22, parents: [uther, ygraine]}

family_tree = arthur
