# A string is considered to be in title case if each word in the string is either (a) capitalised (that is, only the first letter of the word is in upper case) or (b) considered to be an exception and put entirely into lower case unless it is the first word, which is always capitalised.

# Write a function that will convert a string into title case, given an optional list of exceptions (minor words). The list of minor words will be given as a string with each word separated by a space. 
# Your function should ignore the case of the minor words string -- it should behave in the same way even if the case of the minor word string is changed.

# ###Arguments (Haskell)

# First argument: space-delimited list of minor words that must always be lowercase except for the first word in the string.
# Second argument: the original string to be converted.

# Your friend won't stop texting his girlfriend. It's all he does. All day. Seriously. The texts are so mushy too! The whole situation just makes you feel ill. Being the wonderful friend that you are, you hatch an evil plot. While he's sleeping, you take his phone and change the autocorrect options so that every time he types "you" or "u" it gets changed to "your sister."

# Write a function called autocorrect that takes a string and replaces all instances of "you" or "u" (not case sensitive) with "your sister" (always lower case).

# Return the resulting string.

# Here's the slightly tricky part: These are text messages, so there are different forms of "you" and "u".

# For the purposes of this kata, here's what you need to support:

#Write a function that takes in a string of one or more words, and Drop one or more filereturns the same string, but with all
#five or more letter words reversed (Just like the name of this Kata). 
#Strings passed in will consist of only letters and spaces. 
#Spaces will be included only when more than one word is present.

#Examples:

#spinWords( "Hey fellow warriors" ) => returns "Hey wollef sroirraw" 
#spinWords( "This is a test") => returns "This is a test" 
#spinWords( "This is another test" )=> returns "This is rehtona test"

# Given: an array containing hashes of names

# Return: a string formatted as a list of names separated by commas except for the last two names, which should be separated by an ampersand.

# Example:

# list([ {name: 'Bart'}, {name: 'Lisa'}, {name: 'Maggie'} ])
# # returns 'Bart, Lisa & Maggie'

# list([ {name: 'Bart'}, {name: 'Lisa'} ])

# You are going to be given a word. Your job is to return the middle character of the word. If the word's length is odd, return the middle character. If the word's length is even, return the middle 2 characters.

# #Examples:

# runBF("test\0") should return "es"

# runBF("testing\0") should return "t"

# runBF("middle\0") should return "dd"

# Write a program to find count of the most frequent item of an array.

# Assume that input is array of integers.

# Ex.:

# input array: [3, -1, -1, -1, 2, 3, -1, 3, -1, 2, 4, 9, 3]
# ouptut: 5
# Most frequent number in example array is -1. It occurs 5 times in input array.

# Tube strike options calculator
# The sweaty bus ride
# There is a tube strike today so instead of getting the London Underground home you have decided to take the bus. It's a hot day and you have been sitting on the bus for over an hour, but the bus is hardly moving. Your arm is sticking to the window and sweat drips off your nose as you try to read your neighbour's book when you say to yourself, "This is ridiculous. I could have walked faster than this!" Suddenly you have an idea for an app that helps people decide whether to walk or take the bus home when the London Underground is on strike.
# You rush home (relatively speaking) and begin to define the function that will underpin your app.

# Function specification
# You must create a function which takes three parameters; walking distance home, distance the bus must travel, and the combined distance of walking from the office to the bus stop and from the bus stop to your house. All distances are in kilometres.
# So for example, if your home is 5km away b

# Trolls are attacking your comment section!

# A common way to deal with this situation is to remove all of the vowels from the trolls' comments, neutralizing the threat.

# Your task is to write a function that takes a string and return a new string with all vowels removed.

# For example, the string "This website is for losers LOL!" would become "Ths wbst s fr lsrs LL!".

# Note: for this kata y isn't considered a vowel.

#Given a "square" array of subarrays, find the sum of values from the first value of the first array, 
#the second value of the second array, the third value of the third array, and so on...

#Example 1:

#exampleArray = [[1, 0, 0, 0],

            #    [0, 0, 1, 0],
