I was thinking after the reformat, are we falling short with this concept exercise? do we need to add another point so students understand better the concept? I was thinking on something to do if the string already contains an uppercase letter maybe.

Also the pipeline seems to be failing because of the practice exercise strain which is weird

Well, the exercise is meant to introduce the concept. Right now it teaches letters, digits, punctuation and whitespace, which would be good enough of an introduction IMO.

Perhaps if you want to add another task we could make the digits part a bit more interesting, since it's now grouped with converting whitespace. What about if we ask students to convert from leetspeak to normal text? So they would be required to change H3ll0 W0rld into Hello_World or something.

Uhh I really like this idea!! but also I think if we do this it should be with a couple of words, mostly the easy ones like

e = 3
a = 4
o = 0
l = 1
t = 7

and probably no more than that.

Sounds good 👍

[manumafe98]

I added the new task, I'm not sure if I should add a note that says that we are not using all the numbers from leetspeak or if the students should realize this checking the tests.

[sanderploegsma]

This is starting to look good!

Also, since your changes to the exercise are substantial, feel free to add yourself as an author/contributor to the exercise's .meta/config.json 👍

I just realized that we forgot to update the exercise's .meta/design.md file. We changed the scope of the exercise quite a bit and that should be reflected in the design file. Could you open another PR to address this?

Oh yeah, we totally forgot
