* fix: improve Project Euler descriptions and test case Improve formatting of Project Euler test descriptions. Also add poker hands array and new test case for problem 54 * feat: add typeof tests and gave functions proper names for first 100 challenges * fix: continue fixing test descriptions and adding "before test" sections * fix: address review comments * fix: adjust grids in 18 and 67 and fix some text that reference files rather than the given arrays * fix: implement bug fixes and improvements from review * fix: remove console.log statements from seed and solution

## Description
|
||
<section id='description'>
|
||
|
||
By using each of the digits from the set, {1, 2, 3, 4}, exactly once, and making use of the four arithmetic operations (+, −, *, /) and brackets/parentheses, it is possible to form different positive integer targets.
|
||
|
||
For example,
|
||
|
||
<div style='margin-left: 4em;'>
|
||
8 = (4 * (1 + 3)) / 2<br>
|
||
14 = 4 * (3 + 1 / 2)<br>
|
||
19 = 4 * (2 + 3) − 1<br>
|
||
36 = 3 * 4 * (2 + 1)
|
||
</div>
|
||
|
||
Note that concatenations of the digits, like 12 + 34, are not allowed.
|
||
|
||
Using the set, {1, 2, 3, 4}, it is possible to obtain thirty-one different target numbers of which 36 is the maximum, and each of the numbers 1 to 28 can be obtained before encountering the first non-expressible number.
|
||
|
||
Find the set of four distinct digits, <var>a</var> < <var>b</var> < <var>c</var> < <var>d</var>, for which the longest set of consecutive positive integers, 1 to <var>n</var>, can be obtained, giving your answer as a string: <var>abcd</var>.
