# Secret Handshake
|
|
|
|
Welcome to Secret Handshake on Exercism's Java Track.
|
|
If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.
|
|
|
|
## Introduction
|
|
|
|
You are starting a secret coding club with some friends and friends-of-friends.
|
|
Not everyone knows each other, so you and your friends have decided to create a secret handshake that you can use to recognize that someone is a member.
|
|
You don't want anyone who isn't in the know to be able to crack the code.
|
|
|
|
You've designed the code so that one person says a number between 1 and 31, and the other person turns it into a series of actions.
|
|
|
|
## Instructions
|
|
|
|
Your task is to convert a number between 1 and 31 to a sequence of actions in the secret handshake.
|
|
|
|
The sequence of actions is chosen by looking at the rightmost five digits of the number once it's been converted to binary.
|
|
Start at the right-most digit and move left.
|
|
|
|
The actions for each number place are:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
00001 = wink
|
|
00010 = double blink
|
|
00100 = close your eyes
|
|
01000 = jump
|
|
10000 = Reverse the order of the operations in the secret handshake.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Let's use the number `9` as an example:
|
|
|
|
- 9 in binary is `1001`.
|
|
- The digit that is farthest to the right is 1, so the first action is `wink`.
|
|
- Going left, the next digit is 0, so there is no double-blink.
|
|
- Going left again, the next digit is 0, so you leave your eyes open.
|
|
- Going left again, the next digit is 1, so you jump.
|
|
|
|
That was the last digit, so the final code is:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
wink, jump
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Given the number 26, which is `11010` in binary, we get the following actions:
|
|
|
|
- double blink
|
|
- jump
|
|
- reverse actions
|
|
|
|
The secret handshake for 26 is therefore:
|
|
|
|
```plaintext
|
|
jump, double blink
|
|
```
