Please see CONTRIBUTING.

Testing

To test the functions:

  1. Run npm install to install the dependencies (need node.js for npm).

  2. Change filename in test/tests.js to the name of your solution file.

  3. Make sure your solution file is in the Solutions folder.

  4. Make sure your function names match the ones listed below as you're coding them.

  5. At the bottom of your solution file, add module.exports = { identity, addb, subb, mulb, minb, maxb, add, sub, mul, min, max, addRecurse, mulRecurse, minRecurse, maxRecurse, not, acc, accPartial, accRecurse, fill, fillRecurse, set, identityf, addf, liftf, pure, curryb, curry, inc, twiceUnary, doubl, square, twice, reverseb, reverse, composeuTwo, composeu, composeb, composeTwo, compose, limitb, limit, genFrom, genTo, genFromTo, elementGen, element, collect, filter, filterTail, concatTwo, concat, concatTail, gensymf, gensymff, fibonaccif, counter, revocableb, revocable, extract, m, addmTwo, addm, liftmbM, liftmb, liftm, exp, expn, addg, liftg, arrayg, continuizeu, continuize, vector, exploitVector, vectorSafe, pubsub, mapRecurse, filterRecurse, };

  6. You can comment out any function names in the module.exports that you haven't written yet, but a lot of the tests depend on previous functions to run properly so it's safer to write the functions in order.

  7. Finally, npm run test to run the tests.

vector()

Make an array wrapper object with methods get, store, and append, such that an attacker cannot get access to the private array

Let's assume your vector implementation looks like something like this:

vector = () => {

  return {
    append: (v) => array.push(v),
    get: (i) => array[i],
    store: (i, v) => array[i] = v
  };
}

Can you spot any security concerns with this approach? Mainly, can we get access to the array outside of vector? Note: the issue has nothing to do with prototypes and we can assume that global prototypes cannot be altered. Hint: Think about using this in a method invocation. Can we override a method of vector?

continuize(any) ⇒ function

Write a function continuize that takes a function and returns a function that takes a callback and an argument

Param Type
any function

Example

mullc = continuize(Math.mul)
mulc(console.log, 81, 4, 2) // logs '648'

vector()

Make an array wrapper object with methods get, store, and append, such that an attacker cannot get access to the private array

Example

let v = vector()
v.append(7)
v.store(1, 8)
v.get(0) // 7
v.get(1) // 8

exploitVector()

Let's assume your vector implementation looks like something like this:

vector = () => {
  let array = [];
  return {
    append: (v) => array.push(v),
    get: (i) => array[i],
    store: (i, v) => array[i] = v
  };
}

Can you spot any security concerns with this approach? Mainly, can we get access to the array outside of vector? Note*: the issue has nothing to do with prototypes and we can assume that global prototypes cannot be altered. Hint*: Think about using this in a method invocation. Can we override a method of vector?

Example

let v = vector()
v.append(1)
v.append(2)
let internalData = exploitVector(v) // [1, 2]

vectorSafe()

How would you rewrite vector to deal with the issue from above?

Example

let v = vectorSafe()
v.append(1)
v.append(2)
let internalData = exploitVector(v) // undefined

pubsub()

Make a function pubsub that makes a publish/subscribe object. It will reliably deliver all publications to all subscribers in the right order.

ps.subscribe(log)
ps.publish('It works!') // log('It works!')

mapRecurse(array, predicate) ⇒ array

filterRecurse(array, predicate) ⇒ array

Make a function filterRecurse that takes in an array and a predicate function and returns a new array by filtering out all items using the predicate, recursively.

Param Type
array array
predicate function

Example

filterRecurse([1, 2, 3, 4], (x) => x % 2 === 0) // [ 2, 4 ]
