1 # Kindergarten Garden 2 3 Welcome to Kindergarten Garden on Exercism's Perl 5 Track. 4 If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`. 5 6 ## Instructions 7 8 Given a diagram, determine which plants each child in the kindergarten class is 9 responsible for. 10 11 The kindergarten class is learning about growing plants. The teacher 12 thought it would be a good idea to give them actual seeds, plant them in 13 actual dirt, and grow actual plants. 14 15 They've chosen to grow grass, clover, radishes, and violets. 16 17 To this end, the children have put little cups along the window sills, and 18 planted one type of plant in each cup, choosing randomly from the available 19 types of seeds. 20 21 ```text 22 [window][window][window] 23 ........................ # each dot represents a cup 24 ........................ 25 ``` 26 27 There are 12 children in the class: 28 29 - Alice, Bob, Charlie, David, 30 - Eve, Fred, Ginny, Harriet, 31 - Ileana, Joseph, Kincaid, and Larry. 32 33 Each child gets 4 cups, two on each row. Their teacher assigns cups to 34 the children alphabetically by their names. 35 36 The following diagram represents Alice's plants: 37 38 ```text 39 [window][window][window] 40 VR...................... 41 RG...................... 42 ``` 43 44 In the first row, nearest the windows, she has a violet and a radish. In the 45 second row she has a radish and some grass. 46 47 Your program will be given the plants from left-to-right starting with 48 the row nearest the windows. From this, it should be able to determine 49 which plants belong to each student. 50 51 For example, if it's told that the garden looks like so: 52 53 ```text 54 [window][window][window] 55 VRCGVVRVCGGCCGVRGCVCGCGV 56 VRCCCGCRRGVCGCRVVCVGCGCV 57 ``` 58 59 Then if asked for Alice's plants, it should provide: 60 61 - Violets, radishes, violets, radishes 62 63 While asking for Bob's plants would yield: 64 65 - Clover, grass, clover, clover 66 67 ## Source 68 69 ### Created by 70 71 - @bistik 72 73 ### Contributed to by 74 75 - @kytrinyx 76 - @m-dango 77 - @rfilipo 78 79 ### Based on 80 81 Random musings during airplane trip. - http://jumpstartlab.com
