Create stub files for all exercises #96

kytrinyx commented 5 years ago

We have decided to require all file-based tracks to provide stubs for their exercises.

The lack of stub file generates an unnecessary pain point within Exercism, contributing a significant proportion of support requests, making things more complex for our students, and hindering our ability to automatically run test-suites and provide automated analysis of solutions.

We believe that it’s essential to understand error messages, know how to use an IDE, and create files. However, getting this right as you’re just getting used to a language can be a frustrating distraction, as it can often require a lot of knowledge that tends to seep in over time. At the start, it can be challenging to google for all of these details: what file extension to use, what needs to be included, etc. Getting people up to speed with these things are not Exercism’s focus, and we’ve decided that we are better served by removing this source of confusion, letting people get on with actually solving the exercises.

The original discussion for this is at https://github.com/exercism/discussions/issues/238.

Therefore, we’d like this track to provide a stub file for each exercise.

I'll take a look.

With the recent round of stubs added, this should be complete.

I omitted a few stubs, including leap, react, resistor-color and two-fer.
