2020-12-12 Add project-local .gitignoreWilliam Carroll1-0/+1
Since the `default.nix` file is specific to my tooling, I'm ignoring it.
2020-12-12 Add usage instructions to top-level READMEWilliam Carroll2-21/+14
Also delete redundant `README` from `server` directory.
2020-12-12 Expose functions at API layerWilliam Carroll4-2/+104
Creating a simple HTTP RESTful API for exposing our `Server.semiprime` function. It supports some help messages, primitive parsing and error handling, and singular vs. batch processing of arguments. For more sophisticated parsing and error-checking, I prefer to use Haskell's Servant library.
2020-12-12 Include cache hit/miss info in return typeWilliam Carroll2-3/+4
This can be useful downstream for diagnostics.
2020-12-12 Expand 10^5 in READMEWilliam Carroll1-1/+1
I think it's more readable this way.
2020-12-12 Simple Math testsWilliam Carroll1-3/+1
Calling `assert` within the `Enum.map` makes the errors more usable.
2020-12-12 Define Server.semiprimeWilliam Carroll2-9/+49
- Clear the boilerplate that `mix` generated - Consume `Math.factor` to test which inputs are semiprimes - Cache all inputs that are semiprimes as soon as we discover that they are - semiprimes I considered a couple things related to the Cache: - Could save space by storing all semiprime factors in a tree. This would make the lookups more expensive. Also because the tree's depth would never exceed two (because all semiprimes only have two factors), the tree would be quite broad, and we may not be saving enough space for the trade to be worthwhile. I might be wrong about that though. - We could consider pre-computing all semiprimes when we start the app, but without running some tests firsts, I'm not sure whether or not it's worth the trouble.
2020-12-12 Define Cache.{list,clear} to help debuggingWilliam Carroll1-0/+14
Since I'm often using `iex` for interactive development, these functions are useful.
2020-12-12 Define Cache and convert app to OTPWilliam Carroll4-1/+58
Define a simple in-memory key-value store for our cache. TL;DR: - Define `Cache` as a simple state-keeping `Agent` - Define `Sup`, which starts our Cache process - Define `App`, which starts our Supervisor process - Whitelist `App` in `mix.exs`, so that it starts after calling `iex -S mix`
2020-12-11 Add moduledoc to ExtrasWilliam Carroll1-0/+4
9 out of 10 doctors agree that every module needs a doc. Ask your doctor if moduledocs are right for you!
2020-12-11 Define stubbed default.nixWilliam Carroll1-0/+1
In case I want to package this project with Nix. For now, it's useful to store this at the project root because it help my Emacs's `project-find-file` function.
2020-12-11 Define Math moduleWilliam Carroll2-0/+58
Support `Math.factor` and cover it with tests.
2020-12-11 Define Extras moduleWilliam Carroll2-0/+36
I'll use as the host for utility functions needed to extend the stdlib.
2020-12-11 Init Elixir projectWilliam Carroll8-0/+107
Starting fresh with... ```shell mix new server ```
2020-12-11 Initialize the Semiprimes ServiceWilliam Carroll1-0/+30
This is an exciting take-home assignment because I get to write a service in Elixir!
