Sublist

Welcome to Sublist on Exercism's Clojure Track. If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out HELP.md.

Instructions

Given two lists determine whether :

• the first list is contained within the second
• the second list is contained within the first list
• both lists are equal
• none of the above, lists are unequal

Specifically, a list A is a sublist of list B if by dropping 0 or more elements from the front of B and 0 or more elements from the back of B you get a list that's completely equal to A.

Rules

Determine the relation between list1 and list2 and return the relation as a Clojure keyword. The function classify should either return :sublist, :superlist, :equal or:unequal.

Examples:

• A = [1, 2, 3], B = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], A is a sublist of B
• A = [3, 4, 5], B = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], A is a sublist of B
• A = [3, 4], B = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], A is a sublist of B
• A = [1, 2, 3], B = [1, 2, 3], A is equal to B
• A = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], B = [2, 3, 4], A is a superlist of B
• A = [1, 2, 4], B = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], A is neither a superlist, sublist nor equal to B : they are unequal
