# Palindrome Products Detect palindrome products in a given range. A palindromic number is a number that remains the same when its digits are reversed. For example, `121` is a palindromic number but `112` is not. Given the definition of a palindromic number, we define a palindrome _product_ to be the product `c`, such that `a * b = c`, where `c` is a palindromic number and `a` and `b` are integers (possibly, but _not_ necessarily palindromic numbers). For example, the palindromic number 9009 can be written as the palindrome product: `91 * 99 = 9009`. It's possible (and indeed common) for a palindrome product to be the product of multiple combinations of numbers. For example, the palindrome product `9` has the factors `(1, 9)` and `(3, 3)`. Write a program that given a range of integers, returns the smallest and largest palindromic product of factors within that range, along with all the factors in the range for that product. ## Example 1 Given the range `[1, 9]` (both inclusive)... And given the list of all possible products within this range: `[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 15, 21, 24, 27, 20, 28, 32, 36, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 42, 48, 54, 49, 56, 63, 64, 72, 81]` The palindrome products are all single digit numbers (in this case): `[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]` The smallest palindrome product is `1`. Its factors are `(1, 1)`. The largest palindrome product is `9`. Its factors are `(1, 9)` and `(3, 3)`. ## Example 2 Given the range `[10, 99]` (both inclusive)... The smallest palindrome product is `121`. Its factors are `(11, 11)`. The largest palindrome product is `9009`. Its factors are `(91, 99)`. ## Hints To solve this exercise you need to implement these two functions: - `largestPalindrome` - `smallestPalindrome` Both functions receive lower and upper factor limits, returning a pair `(value, [(factor1, factor2)])` containing the palindrome and its possible pairs of factors. Your can use the provided signatures if you are unsure about the types, but don't let them restrict your creativity. It's ok to return duplicates in the factors list, and the order of the factors is irrelevant. You should consider using a slightly different algorithm to find small or large palindromes. ## Getting Started For installation and learning resources, refer to the [exercism help page](http://exercism.io/languages/haskell). ## Running the tests To run the test suite, execute the following command: ```bash stack test ``` #### If you get an error message like this... ``` No .cabal file found in directory ``` You are probably running an old stack version and need to upgrade it. #### Otherwise, if you get an error message like this... ``` No compiler found, expected minor version match with... Try running "stack setup" to install the correct GHC... ``` Just do as it says and it will download and install the correct compiler version: ```bash stack setup ``` ## Running *GHCi* If you want to play with your solution in GHCi, just run the command: ```bash stack ghci ``` ## Feedback, Issues, Pull Requests The [exercism/haskell](https://github.com/exercism/haskell) repository on GitHub is the home for all of the Haskell exercises.
