Instructions
To complete these exercises you will need .NET Core installed on your computer.
Follow this link to download and install .NET Core for your laptop:
https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
Once you've got .NET Core installed you can make a start - before you do please make sure to watch the getting started video as it walks you through instructions for getting started and the first exercise.
Completing the tasks
Firstly you will need to fork this GitHub repository to your own GitHub profile and then clone your forked repository down to your laptop.
NOTE: You do NOT have to submit Pull Requests to us.
Once you have cloned the repository you can ensure any dependencies are restored by running:
dotnet restore
If you look inside the TechReturnersExercises directory you will find a file of functions to implement.
To understand how these functions work, take a look in the corresponding test file where the desired functionality is described.
To run the tests, run
dotnet test
Work through each test 1 by 1 until you have them all passing. Initially, you'll have a lot of failing tests and a lot of output on the console. To focus on a single test, you can run specific tests such as:
dotnet test --filter Exercise001
Or to run a single test within a test file you can run dotnet test --filter FunctionName like so:
dotnet test --filter CapitalizeWord
The tasks
You can see the first tasks in Exercise001.cs and more information in the docs
