Bob is a lackadaisical teenager. In conversation, his responses are very limited.
Bob answers 'Sure.' if you ask him a question.
He answers 'Whoa, chill out!' if you yell at him.
He retorts 'Calm down, I know what I'm doing!' if you yell a question at him.
He says 'Fine. Be that way!' if you address him without actually saying anything.
He answers 'Whatever.' to anything else.
Go through the setup instructions for Javascript to install the necessary dependencies:
https://exercism.io/tracks/javascript/installation
Install assignment dependencies:
$ npm install
Execute the tests with:
$ npm test
In the test suites all tests but the first have been skipped.
Once you get a test passing, you can enable the next one by changing xtest
to
test
.
