This is meant to be right after hello-world introducing users to basic programming constructs as well as TDD which will be used in all later exercises. Discussion regarding this is [here](exercism#548). Closes exercism#757.

`Two-fer` or `2-fer` is short for two for one. One for you and one for me. | ||
|
||
This exercise expects you to create a sentence of the form: | ||
|
||
``` | ||
"One for X, one for me." | ||
``` | ||
|
||
When X is a name or "you". | ||
|
||
If the given name is "Alice", the result should be "One for Alice, one for me." | ||
If no name is given, the result should be "One for you, one for me." | ||
|
||
|
||
## Test-Driven Development | ||
|
||
As programmers mature, they eventually want to test their code. | ||
|
||
Here at Exercism we simulate [Test-Driven | ||
Development](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development) (TDD), where | ||
you write your tests before writing any functionality. The simulation comes in | ||
the form of a pre-written test suite, which will signal that you have solved | ||
the problem. | ||
|
||
It will also provide you with a safety net to explore other solutions without | ||
breaking the functionality. | ||
|
||
### A typical TDD workflow on Exercism: | ||
|
||
1. Run the test file and pick one test that's failing. | ||
2. Write some code to fix the test you picked. | ||
3. Re-run the tests to confirm the test is now passing. | ||
4. Repeat from step 1. | ||
5. Submit your solution (`exercism submit /path/to/file`) | ||
|
||
## Instructions | ||
|
||
Submissions are encouraged to be general, within reason. Having said that, it's | ||
also important not to over-engineer a solution. | ||
|
||
It's important to remember that the goal is to make code as expressive and | ||
readable as we can. However, solutions to the hello-world exercise will not be | ||
reviewed by a person, but by rikki- the robot, who will offer an encouraging | ||
word. |
