# Strain Implement the `keep` and `discard` operation on collections. Given a collection and a predicate on the collection's elements, `keep` returns a new collection containing those elements where the predicate is true, while `discard` returns a new collection containing those elements where the predicate is false. For example, given the collection of numbers: - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 And the predicate: - is the number even? Then your keep operation should produce: - 2, 4 While your discard operation should produce: - 1, 3, 5 Note that the union of keep and discard is all the elements. The functions may be called `keep` and `discard`, or they may need different names in order to not clash with existing functions or concepts in your language. ## Restrictions Keep your hands off that filter/reject/whatchamacallit functionality provided by your standard library! Solve this one yourself using other basic tools instead. `apply` will let you pass arguments to a function, as will `fun.(args)` ## Running tests Execute the tests with: ```bash $ elixir strain_test.exs ``` ### Pending tests In the test suites, all but the first test have been skipped. Once you get a test passing, you can unskip the next one by commenting out the relevant `@tag :pending` with a `#` symbol. For example: ```elixir # @tag :pending test "shouting" do assert Bob.hey("WATCH OUT!") == "Whoa, chill out!" end ``` Or, you can enable all the tests by commenting out the `ExUnit.configure` line in the test suite. ```elixir # ExUnit.configure exclude: :pending, trace: true ``` For more detailed information about the Elixir track, please see the [help page](http://exercism.io/languages/elixir). ## Source Conversation with James Edward Gray II [https://twitter.com/jeg2](https://twitter.com/jeg2) ## Submitting Incomplete Solutions It's possible to submit an incomplete solution so you can see how others have completed the exercise.
