# Largest Series Product
Given a string of digits, calculate the largest product for a contiguous
substring of digits of length n.
For example, for the input `'1027839564'`, the largest product for a
series of 3 digits is 270 (9 * 5 * 6), and the largest product for a
series of 5 digits is 7560 (7 * 8 * 3 * 9 * 5).
Note that these series are only required to occupy *adjacent positions*
in the input; the digits need not be *numerically consecutive*.
For the input `'73167176531330624919225119674426574742355349194934'`,
the largest product for a series of 6 digits is 23520.
## Setup
Go through the setup instructions for JavaScript to
install the necessary dependencies:
http://exercism.io/languages/javascript
## Making the Test Suite Pass
Execute the tests with:
jasmine <exercise-name>.spec.js
Replace `<exercise-name>` with the name of the current exercise. E.g., to
test the Hello World exercise:
jasmine hello-world.spec.js
In many test suites all but the first test have been skipped.
Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by
changing `xit` to `it`.
