Series

Given a string of digits, output all the contiguous substrings of length n in that string.

For example, the string "49142" has the following 3-digit series:

• 491
• 914
• 142

And the following 4-digit series:

• 4914
• 9142

And if you ask for a 6-digit series from a 5-digit string, you deserve whatever you get.

Note that these series are only required to occupy adjacent positions in the input; the digits need not be numerically consecutive.

For installation and learning resources, refer to the exercism help page.

For running the tests provided, you will need the Minitest gem. Open a terminal window and run the following command to install minitest:

gem install minitest

If you would like color output, you can require 'minitest/pride' in the test file, or note the alternative instruction, below, for running the test file.

Run the tests from the exercise directory using the following command:

ruby series_test.rb

To include color from the command line:

ruby -r minitest/pride series_test.rb
