This project contains code to convert English word to Klingon which is a sequence of well defined hexadecimal values from the klingon alphabet set. After displaying the corresponding hexadecimal values, the species name is fetched using the API's exposed at http://stapi.co/
Standard Points:
-
This repository has been made public with all commit history included;
-
To run this program, you will need first to install:
Git Go -
To run the program: a. Clone it in your local unix system using git. b. Go to main directory of project: $ cd startrek_englishtoklingonconverter/src/main c. Compile using below command: $ go build d. It will create executable binary named main d. For executing, run the binary along with the English name as first argument. Spaces are allowed between names. $ ./main Uthura
-
Alternative to step 3, you can also run as below: go run main.go Uthura
-
Consider each Klingon cognate letter a valid correspondence to an English letter. For example, D is a valid correspondence of d and so on. You might notice that some letters are missing which means they are not translatable for this test purposes, then ignore the whole input;
-
The output contain: a. The translated name in Klingon written using the correspondent hexadecimal numbers according to the given table. Format: i. Each hexadecimal number should be separated from each other using a single space; ii. If the translated name has spaces, use 0x0020 for representing each space character; b. The species of the given Star Trek character name using the API; c. The translated name and the species name separated by a new line;
-
To run the test cases: a. Execute below command from command line in each module: go test -v
Output example:
$ go run main.go Uthura
