## Test-Driven Development
As programmers mature, they eventually want to test their code.
Here at Exercism we simulate [Test-Driven
Development](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development) (TDD), where
you write your tests before writing any functionality. The simulation comes in
the form of a pre-written test suite, which will signal that you have solved
the problem.
It will also provide you with a safety net to explore other solutions without
breaking the functionality.
### A typical TDD workflow on Exercism:
1. Run the test file and pick one test that's failing.
2. Write some code to fix the test you picked.
3. Re-run the tests to confirm the test is now passing.
4. Repeat from step 1.
5. Submit your solution (`exercism submit /path/to/file`)
## Instructions
Submissions are encouraged to be general, within reason. Having said that, it's
also important not to over-engineer a solution.
It's important to remember that the goal is to make code as expressive and
readable as we can.
Run the tests with:
bats whatever_test.sh
