$ challenge-me start
Starting first challenge for category array.

$ challenge-me verify
Verifying challenge 1 for category array.
Failure.
Input: 1 2 3 4
Result:
Expected: 1 2 0 0

$ # editing file with own solution

$ challenge-me verify string
Verifying challenge 1 for category string.
Success.
Creating file for next challenge.

The challenges come from different books and websites. You are invited to provide more challenges.

At the moment the solutions have to be in Python. In a future version, support for other languages will be added.
