This repository contains tasks for you to undertake to secure and prepare you for a place on the Tech Returners course. We will be checking over your solutions, so please ensure you push to GitHub regularly (little and often is key).
You may find these exercises challenging but they give you the opportunity to showcase your growth mindset and commitment to learning, programming, and trying your best. You can always come to us if you are having any trouble.
If you need reminding of any key C# concepts to solve these tasks we recommend the 'Codecademy: Learn C#' (free) course: https://www.codecademy.com/learn/learn-c-sharp
NOTE: You are not required to purchase any PRO content from Codecademy.
We also recommend this visual guide if you are unfamiliar with GitHub: https://agripongit.vincenttunru.com/
Remember to break down problems to help you solve them and that Google is your friend!
To complete these exercises you will need to .NET Core installed on your computer.

https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download
Once you've got .NET Core installed you can make a start!
Firstly you will need to fork this GitHub repository to your own GitHub profile and then clone your forked repository down to your laptop.
NOTE: You do NOT have to submit Pull Requests to us.
Once you have cloned the repository you can ensure any dependencies are restored by running:
dotnet restore
If you look inside the Tasks directory you will find a file of functions to implement.
To understand how these functions work, take a look in the corresponding test file where the desired functionality is described.
To run the tests, run
dotnet test
Work through each test 1 by 1 until you have them all passing. Initially, you'll have a lot of failing tests and a lot of output on the console. To focus on a single test, you can run specific tests such as:
dotnet test --filter Exercise001
