Quite recently it happened to me to join some recruitment interview, where my first task was to write own implementation of built-in split function. It's quite simple, is it not?
However, there were the following conditions:
- the function cannot use, in any way, the original
split
orrsplit
functions, - the new function must be a generator,
- it should behave as the built-in
split
, so it will be tested that way -- think ofsplit()
andsplit('')
This Kata will control if the new function is a generator and if it's not using the built-in split method, so you may try to hack it, but let me know if with success, or if something would go wrong!
Enjoy!
