# Phone Number Clean up user-entered phone numbers so that they can be sent SMS messages. The **North American Numbering Plan (NANP)** is a telephone numbering system used by many countries in North America like the United States, Canada or Bermuda. All NANP-countries share the same international country code: `1`. NANP numbers are ten-digit numbers consisting of a three-digit Numbering Plan Area code, commonly known as *area code*, followed by a seven-digit local number. The first three digits of the local number represent the *exchange code*, followed by the unique four-digit number which is the *subscriber number*. The format is usually represented as ``` (NXX)-NXX-XXXX ``` where `N` is any digit from 2 through 9 and `X` is any digit from 0 through 9. Your task is to clean up differently formated telephone numbers by removing punctuation and the country code (1) if present. For example, the inputs - `+1 (613)-995-0253` - `613-995-0253` - `1 613 995 0253` - `613.995.0253` should all produce the output `6139950253` **Note:** As this exercise only deals with telephone numbers used in NANP-countries, only 1 is considered a valid country code. ## Getting Started For installation and learning resources, refer to the [exercism help page](http://exercism.io/languages/ocaml). ## Installation To work on the exercises, you will need `Opam` and `Core`. Consult [opam](https://opam.ocaml.org) website for instructions on how to install `opam` for your OS. Once `opam` is installed open a terminal window and run the following command to install core: ```bash opam install core ``` To run the tests you will need `OUnit`. Install it using `opam`: ```bash opam install ounit ``` ## Running Tests A Makefile is provided with a default target to compile your solution and run the tests. At the command line, type: ```bash make ``` ## Interactive Shell `utop` is a command line program which allows you to run Ocaml code interactively. The easiest way to install it is via opam: ```bash opam install utop ``` Consult [utop](https://github.com/diml/utop/blob/master/README.md) for more detail. ## Feedback, Issues, Pull Requests The [exercism/ocaml](https://github.com/exercism/ocaml) repository on GitHub is the home for all of the Ocaml exercises.
