Description
This project presents a small React App for visualising the hamming distance of strings of five digits.
The user may input strings into the text field on the left, only digits and newlines are accepted, all other characters will be ignored. Pasting into the text field is also subject to the same validation.
Once the user has provided the strings they would like to visualise, they can click the visualise button. This will strip all empty lines and any duplicates, then it will check that all other lines are exactly five digits long. If this is not the case, the visualisation is canceled and the user is informed of the offending lines. Otherwise, the hamming distances are calculated and the visualisation rendered.
Assumptions made:
- The Hamming distances in question are the distances of the strings
themselves and not the raw bits. For example, "12321" and "32123" have
a hamming distance of
3as they differ on characters 0, 2 and 4. - A correlation heat map of the Hamming Distances would be the most suitable graphical visualisation. A plot of average distance might have also been suitable, but I think that a correlation heat map shows more interesting information.
Getting Started with Create React App
This project was bootstrapped with Create React App.
Available Scripts
In the project directory, you can run:
npm start
Runs the app in the development mode.
Open http://localhost:3000 to view it in the browser.
The page will reload if you make edits.
You will also see any lint errors in the console.
npm test
Launches the test runner in the interactive watch mode.
See the section about running tests for more information.
npm run build
Builds the app for production to the build folder.
It correctly bundles React in production mode and optimizes the build for the best performance.
The build is minified and the filenames include the hashes.
Your app is ready to be deployed!
See the section about deployment for more information.
npm run eject
Note: this is a one-way operation. Once you eject, you can’t go back!
If you aren’t satisfied with the build tool and configuration choices, you can eject at any time. This command will remove the single build dependency from your project.
Instead, it will copy all the configuration files and the transitive dependencies (webpack, Babel, ESLint, etc) right into your project so you have full control over them. All of the commands except eject will still work, but they will point to the copied scripts so you can tweak them. At this point you’re on your own.
You don’t have to ever use eject. The curated feature set is suitable for small and middle deployments, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to use this feature. However we understand that this tool wouldn’t be useful if you couldn’t customize it when you are ready for it.
