Pangram instructions are misleading

Open maddie927 opened this issue 7 years ago • 2 comments

The instructions are misleading in claiming that "Input will not contain non-ASCII symbols"!

I agree, that the README.md is not consistent with the tests in Main.purs.

We have two options to fix this:

  • update the README.md or
  • remove the test “pangram with non ascii characters” from Main.purs.

The problem specification for the pangram exercise does not contain a test with non-ASCII characters. Actually I also don't see what is the purpose of having this test in the test suite. Is there any trivial solution to the exercise, that would pass the tests without this test, but fail on that test?

So I tend to remove the test case. What do you think?
