GitHub Copilot Challenge 🚀

Welcome to the GitHub Copilot Challenge! This repository contains three increasingly difficult challenges designed to help you explore and master GitHub Copilot Chat and GitHub Copilot Edits in Visual Studio Code.

🎯 Goal

The goal of these challenges is to familiarize yourself with:

• Using GitHub Copilot Chat effectively
• Leveraging Copilot Edits for code modifications
• Understanding how to interact with Copilot for various programming tasks

🎮 Challenges

Each challenge has its own folder with source code, tests, and instructions:

1. Challenge 1: String Manipulation - Beginner

   • Located in: challenges/challenge1/
   • Implementation file: challenges/challenge1/src/palindrome.js
   • Test file: challenges/challenge1/src/palindrome.test.js

2. Challenge 2: Data Transformation - Intermediate

   • Located in: challenges/challenge2/
   • Implementation file: challenges/challenge2/src/employeeAnalytics.js
   • Test file: challenges/challenge2/src/employeeAnalytics.test.js

3. Challenge 3: Algorithm Implementation - Advanced

   • Located in: challenges/challenge3/
   • Implementation file: challenges/challenge3/src/taskScheduler.js
   • Test file: challenges/challenge3/src/taskScheduler.test.js

⏱️ Time Frame

These challenges are designed to be completed in approximately 20 minutes:

• Challenge 1: ~5 minutes
• Challenge 2: ~7 minutes
• Challenge 3: ~8 minutes

🛠️ Setup

💡 Tips for Using GitHub Copilot

1. General Tips:

   • Use /help in Copilot Chat to explore available commands
   • Try both inline chat and the dedicated chat view
   • Experiment with Copilot Edits for code modifications

2. When Working on Challenges:

   • Break down the problem into smaller parts
   • Ask Copilot to explain any code you don't understand
   • Use Copilot to help write test cases
   • Request optimization suggestions

3. Useful Copilot Commands:

   • /explain - Get an explanation of selected code
