# 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. * * * * For installation and learning resources, refer to the [exercism help page](http://exercism.io/languages/ruby). For running the tests provided, you will need the Minitest gem. Open a terminal window and run the following command to install minitest: gem install minitest If you would like color output, you can `require 'minitest/pride'` in the test file, or note the alternative instruction, below, for running the test file. Run the tests from the exercise directory using the following command: ruby strain_test.rb To include color from the command line: ruby -r minitest/pride strain_test.rb ## 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.
