Treasure Matching

In this exercise, you’re going to use pattern matching to extract the "jewel" string from the data provided and bind it to a jewel variable. The first exercise is complete for example.

[_, _, _, jewel] = [1, 2, 3, "jewel"]
jewel

Use pattern matching to bind a jewel variable to the "jewel" string.

[1, 2, 3, "jewel"]
%{key1: "value", key2: "jewel"}
%{1 => "jewel"}
%{%{key: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, {}]} => "jewel"}
%{north: %{south: %{west: %{east: "jewel"}}}}
[2, "jewel"]
["jewel", 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
[1, "jewel", 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
[1, 2, "jewel", 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12]
[[], [1, [2, "jewel"]]]
"here is the jewel"
{"jewel"}
{"jewel", 1}
{1, 2, "jewel"}
["jewel"] ++ Enum.to_list(1..100)
[key: "jewel"]
[south: "jewel", east: {1, 2}]
Enum.map(1..4, fn each -> (each == 2 && "jewel") || each end)
Enum.map(1..4, &((&1 > 3 && "jewel") || &1))

Mark As Completed

file_name = Path.basename(Regex.replace(~r/#.+/, __ENV__.file, ""), ".livemd")

save_name =
  case Path.basename(__DIR__) do
    "reading" -> "treasure_matching_reading"
    "exercises" -> "treasure_matching_exercise"
  end

progress_path = __DIR__ <> "/../progress.json"
existing_progress = File.read!(progress_path) |> Jason.decode!()

default = Map.get(existing_progress, save_name, false)

form =
  Kino.Control.form(
    [
      completed: input = Kino.Input.checkbox("Mark As Completed", default: default)
    ],
    report_changes: true
  )

  for %{data: %{completed: completed}} <- Kino.Control.stream(form) do
    File.write!(
