Bob

Welcome to Bob on Exercism's Haskell Track. If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out HELP.md.

Instructions

Bob is a lackadaisical teenager. In conversation, his responses are very limited.

Bob answers 'Sure.' if you ask him a question, such as "How are you?".

He answers 'Whoa, chill out!' if you YELL AT HIM (in all capitals).

He answers 'Calm down, I know what I'm doing!' if you yell a question at him.

He says 'Fine. Be that way!' if you address him without actually saying anything.

He answers 'Whatever.' to anything else.

Bob's conversational partner is a purist when it comes to written communication and always follows normal rules regarding sentence punctuation in English.

You need to implement the responseFor function that returns Bob's response for a given input. You can use the provided signature if you are unsure about the types, but don't let it restrict your creativity:

responseFor :: String -> String

To solve this exercise you may read up on:

Guards

This exercise works with textual data. For historical reasons, Haskell's String type is synonymous with [Char], a list of characters. For more efficient handling of textual data, the Text type can be used.

As an optional extension to this exercise, you can

Read about string types in Haskell.
Add - text to your list of dependencies in package.yaml.

Import Data.Text in the following way:

import qualified Data.Text as T
import           Data.Text (Text)

You can now write e.g. responseFor :: Text -> Text and refer to Data.Text combinators as e.g. T.isSuffixOf.
Look up the documentation for Data.Text,
You can then replace all occurrences of String with Text in Bob.hs:
```
responseFor :: Text -> Text
```

This part is entirely optional.
