[v3] Add prerequisites 3/6 #984
Description
⚠️ If you have issues / are unsure, create ONE PR PER EXERCISE so it's easier to merge them as we can have discussions per exercise. If you're certain, it's fine to do a single one.
The idea is to split #960 into smaller chunks.
Here is the list of practices exercises to deal with for this part :
anagram
acronym
high-scores
isogram
matching-brackets
phone-number
scale-generator
series
largest-series-product
transpose
grep
rectangles
spiral-matrix
ocr-numbers
saddle-points
forth
food-chain
house
isbn-verifier
pig-latin

I am willing to take this issue up (at least some of the exercises). Just let me know if I should make the PRs, one for each exercises, one for a batch of exercises or one for all of them.
TomPradat commentedon Dec 2, 2021
I'd suggest that you make a PR for each exercise but if you feel like you want to do a lot of exercises you can take 4-5 by PR.
Trying to do all of them at once is not a good idea IMO, it's indigestible for both you and the reviewer.
Idk if this might help but here are the steps I used when doing some :
1 - Doing/trying the exercise
2 - Looking at the exercise's proof of work
3 - Looking at the submitted solutions.
4 - Adding the prerequisites

Good advice from @TomPradat there. I am in favor of a batch of max. 5 exercises per PR.
AnishDe12020 commentedon Dec 2, 2021
Sounds good to me

Is this still open? Would love to work on it if it is!
TomPradat commentedon Apr 14, 2023
@safwansamsudeen Yes ! See #984 (comment) for suggestions on how to do it. Let me know if you have any questions
junedev commentedon Apr 15, 2023
@safwansamsudeen If you work on this, please start out with a small batch, e.g. 3 exercises max.
Add a GitHub comment for each one explaining which solution you had in mind when selecting the concepts you listed. Maybe paste a link to a community solution or paste some code. This is the only way the PR becomes reviewable. Without this, the reviewer needs to do the exact work you did to come up with the list again to verify it makes sense.

@TomPradat Please keep this in mind https://exercism.org/blog/freeing-our-maintainers and that neither JD not me are currently actively maintaining this repo. Only encourage community contributions if you are confident that you have the time to properly review them when they come in. Otherwise it will be a frustrating experience for everyone.

@junedev I'm new to both OSS and Exercism, so I think I'll start off with one exercise per PR.
@TomPradat, I've currently opened a PR - #2159 - for the House exercise. Let me know how it goes!
TomPradat commentedon May 10, 2023
@safwansamsudeen I'll have a look next week when I have a bit more time 👍
safwansamsudeen commentedon May 31, 2023
@TomPradat, just a reminder about the PR.

Is this still available? I'd really like to work on it if it is, it seems like a good first contribution.
