sublist

Sublist

Given two lists determine if the first list is contained within the second list, if the second list is contained within the first list, if both lists are contained within each other or if none of these are true.

Specifically, a list A is a sublist of list B if by dropping 0 or more elements from the front of B and 0 or more elements from the back of B you get a list that's completely equal to A.

Examples:

• A = [1, 2, 3], B = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], A is a sublist of B
• A = [3, 4, 5], B = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], A is a sublist of B
• A = [3, 4], B = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], A is a sublist of B
• A = [1, 2, 3], B = [1, 2, 3], A is equal to B
• A = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], B = [2, 3, 4], A is a superlist of B
• A = [1, 2, 4], B = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5], A is not a superlist of, sublist of or equal to B

Setup

Go through the setup instructions for TypeScript to install the necessary dependencies:

https://exercism.io/tracks/typescript/installation

Requirements

Install assignment dependencies:

$ yarn install

Making the test suite pass

Execute the tests with:

$ yarn test

In the test suites all tests but the first have been skipped.

Once you get a test passing, you can enable the next one by changing xit to it.
