What's the purpose of the solved exercises in this repo? about crystal

@kotp Thank you! I'll close this issue then. The many styles of programming will be seen when users solve the problems (I'll try to slowly solve them too) :-)

TL;DR; The code in the example.cr is "proof of concept" rather than idiomatic, but there is no reason it couldn't be idiomatic code. It is not "front facing", not presented to the users of Exercism, but of course is available for those that are curious.

Kytrina has mentioned that the example code in the repository has been "Proof Of Concept", and to proof the tests that are presented to the users of Exercism.

She has also mentioned that it may be beneficial to be idiomatic, which is definitely possible over time.

It is not code that is gathered by the client, so it is not "front facing" code, though, of course, it is available for anyone to view if/when they come to the repository. I don't believe there is anything currently directing them to the example code at all, in the flow of the client and process of participating on the 'user' level.

It has been discussed that the tests should be as idiomatic as possible, as that is forward facing.

@kotp , I would agree that the examples should probably be the best they can be (like a gold standard) but... that will happen over time.

@asterite , your solution was awesome to see! Thanks for that!

@asterite I originally wrote this as a single method with if elsif but then changed it to be more dry. I had gotten feedback on previous solutions that they should have a lot more methods "like the ruby one", so I also broke it up into more methods. I agree that it probably wasn't necessary though.

One advantage to your solution is that it returns as soon as it's false and stops evaluating. :)
