Welcome to Salt Lake Community College's Programming Club Challenges!
These challenges are designed for programmers of all skill levels. Each challenge has a "core" problem that should be accessible to all.
Each challenge has progressively more difficult "bonus challenges" to test your programming knowledge.

Open Windows Powershell or the terminal git clone https://github.com/quaxlyqueen/club-challenges ~ Makes a local copy of the repository on your machine.
git pull ~ Retrieves the most recent changes from the "remote" repository (GitHub).
git branch NAME ~ Creates a new branch called NAME. Substitute this with the changes you're making.
git checkout NAME ~ Changes your current branch to NAME. The default branch is main.
git stage -A ~ Prepares all of the changes in your local repository for a commit.
git commit -m "A message" ~ Saves a snapshot of your local repository to your machine. You can revert back to this at anytime.
git push ~ Uploads your changes onto the remote repository (GitHub).

While this may seem complex, for future club challenges you'd simply need to type in the terminal git pull to get the next challenge.

javac File.java ~ Compiles your .java file into an executable .class file
java File ~ Executes your .class file

If you're interested in automating terminal commands, check out my scripts repo at quaxlyqueen/scripts.

What is Git?
Git is an industry-standard Version Control System (VCS), that allows multiple programmers to work on projects together asynchronously.
Git is a powerful Command Line Interface (CLI) tool, and GitHub is a way to visually interact with repositories.

What is a repository?
A repository, or "repo", is a shareable project directory. There are two main types of repositories: remote and local.
A remote repository is a directory hosted on a server, such as GitHub. Whenever you clone a repository onto your machine, you have a local repository.
Think of this as a Google Docs for programmers, except instead of your changes being shared automatically, it is whenever you decide your changes
are ready to be shared.
