+# Resistor Color
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Welcome to Resistor Color on Exercism's TypeScript Track.

|
+## Instructions
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+If you want to build something using a Raspberry Pi, you'll probably use _resistors_.
|
|
|
+For this exercise, you need to know two things about them:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- Each resistor has a resistance value.
|
|
|
+- Resistors are small - so small in fact that if you printed the resistance value on them, it would be hard to read.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+To get around this problem, manufacturers print color-coded bands onto the resistors to denote their resistance values.
|
|
|
+Each band has a position and a numeric value.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The first 2 bands of a resistor have a simple encoding scheme: each color maps to a single number.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+In this exercise you are going to create a helpful program so that you don't have to remember the values of the bands.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+These colors are encoded as follows:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- Black: 0
|
|
|
+- Brown: 1
|
|
|
+- Red: 2
|
|
|
+- Orange: 3
|
|
|
+- Yellow: 4
|
|
|
+- Green: 5
|
|
|
+- Blue: 6
|
|
|
+- Violet: 7
|
|
|
+- Grey: 8
|
|
|
+- White: 9
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+The goal of this exercise is to create a way:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+- to look up the numerical value associated with a particular color band
|
|
|
+- to list the different band colors
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Mnemonics map the colors to the numbers, that, when stored as an array, happen to map to their index in the array:
|
|
|
+Better Be Right Or Your Great Big Values Go Wrong.
|
|
|
+

|
+More information on the color encoding of resistors can be found in the [Electronic color code Wikipedia article][e-color-code].
