# Instructions

Translate RNA sequences into proteins.

RNA can be broken into three nucleotide sequences called codons, and then translated to a polypeptide like so:

RNA: `"AUGUUUUCU"` => translates to

Codons: `"AUG", "UUU", "UCU"`
=> which become a polypeptide with the following sequence =>

Protein: `"Methionine", "Phenylalanine", "Serine"`

There are 64 codons which in turn correspond to 20 amino acids; however, all of the codon sequences and resulting amino acids are not important in this exercise.
If it works for one codon, the program should work for all of them.
However, feel free to expand the list in the test suite to include them all.

There are also three terminating codons (also known as 'STOP' codons); if any of these codons are encountered (by the ribosome), all translation ends and the protein is terminated.

All subsequent codons after are ignored, like this:

RNA: `"AUGUUUUCUUAAAUG"` =>

Codons: `"AUG", "UUU", "UCU", "UAA", "AUG"` =>

Protein: `"Methionine", "Phenylalanine", "Serine"`

Note the stop codon `"UAA"` terminates the translation and the final methionine is not translated into the protein sequence.

Below are the codons and resulting Amino Acids needed for the exercise.

| Codon | Protein |
| :----------------- | :------------ |
| AUG | Methionine |
| UUU, UUC | Phenylalanine |
| UUA, UUG | Leucine |
| UCU, UCC, UCA, UCG | Serine |
| UAU, UAC | Tyrosine |
| UGU, UGC | Cysteine |
| UGG | Tryptophan |
| UAA, UAG, UGA | STOP |

We should mark the tests not actually implemented by adding include = false underneath the description.

@BNAndras done ;) I copied the tests from Python, I'm not sure why these ones were not included ... I've added a task for later to implement these missing tests, but I believe that can wait until after the track is public ;)

Adding some tests later means any previously submitted solutions will be rerun to see if they pass the full test suite. Depending on when you add those tests, there might not be too many solutions to rerun. On established popular tracks like Python, we could be rerunning thousands of submitted solutions every time we update the tests so I'd be careful about doing that long-term.

Marking tests as include = false means we have seen the tests but we won't implement them so configlet knows to ignore them when we run configlet sync. If you're still planning on implementing those tests, I'd instead remove the tests completely from the tests.toml. Then configlet sync will think we haven't synced to the latest tests and warn us that these additional tests need to be added or marked not included. That way, we won't forget in the future that some tests still need to be added.
