That was a fun exercise!
For the solution, I wrote a general-purpose BFS implementation. The advantage is that it can be reused in other exercises (e.g., it would have been handy for the
connect
exercise). The main downsides are:bfs
function outputs the shortest path even though all we really need is the length of the shortest pathbfs
function could potentially be confusing to beginnersI don't think these downsides matter much, given that the
.meta/Example.roc
file is not shown to the end user, it's mostly there to ensure that the tests work well. Moreover, this exercise has difficulty 6, so it's not really meant for complete beginners, we can assume they understand type annotations by now.Wdyt?
