Coding exercise

This is a basic coding exercise created by the (UK) Cabinet Office.

Installing

(Please note, where python is referred to, use python or python3 as appropriate for your environment.)

Begin by cloning this repository. Next, change-directory to be in the coding-exercise folder and install dependencies:

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Launching the application

To run the application, you can do the following in the top-level exercise/ directory:

python manage.py runserver

You can then call the three endpoints (using either a web browser or a REST client application):

• /hello/
• /add-numbers/<first-number>/<second-number>/
• /join-words/<first-word>/<second-word>/

Examples

• /hello/
  • Returns Hello World
• /add-numbers/10/20/
  • Returns 30
• /join-words/hello/there/
  • Returns hello-there

Tests

You can run the test-suite (again in the top-level exercise/ directory) via:

python manage.py test tests/ --noinput
