Yay!! It isn't running all the exercises, which shaves about 30 minutes off each commit. |

This is looking good! I can see why it took some time to put together 😅

Thanks for the comments. I'll make some fixes, then cut it down (hard pruning!) for the exercise introduction. |

I know this is still "Draft", but I suppose this just needs the introduction, so I'll approve as that already exists in the exercise.

Yes, I just copied over the Intro, now I'm extending the links. I'll push in a few minutes. |

Looking good. I just completed the exercise (both versions) on the website. That's 12 concepts now visible, even if they don't quite join up yet. I've started on Factory Sensors, for the Errors concept. I still need to go back to Switch and see if Blackjack is still the best exercise to use. |

I do have to say that the use of lists as return objects in Base R is... frustrating. But as you said it's not really reasonable to put strings after lists. |
At this early stage, yes. I think (hope) it will make more sense as we get to more complex structures. Everything is a vector, but not everything is an atomic vector. |
Logically, I should now add a Regex concept. However, I'm feeling a bit overdosed on string functions, and need a washout period before I look at them again. An act of self-care! |
Fully understandable! :D |

Incomplete draft at this stage. The intro is blank, and the links much too short.
Putting this draft together has been educational, but also very slow and a bit tedious. There was no earlier draft to work from, because I really wanted the
stringrlibrary to be added to the test runner first.I`m assuming we'll use Log Levels again. I'll try to get that done in the next few days (there is a draft), then we can copy that Intro back to the concept.
Currently, this missing concept is a big road block in the middle of the syllabus. Getting it done will allow Nothingness, Randomness and Regular Expressions to have it as a direct prereq.
You'll notice some fudging around Lists, which are an important return type for several of the string functions. I don't think we can reasonably delay discussing strings until after the Lists concept.
