defmodule PLF do
@doc """
Given a list of `{x, y}` nodes that the function must pass through, return
a function any input `x`.
For inputs less than the minimum `x` values among the nodes, extrapolate
with a constant equal to the `y` value of the min-`x` node. Similar
extrapolation occurs for `x` larger than the max-`x` node.
Note: When the number of nodes is large, this can be made more efficient

Zig in 30 minutes

A half-hour to learn Zig

This is inspired by https://fasterthanli.me/blog/2020/a-half-hour-to-learn-rust/

Basics

the command zig run my_code.zig will compile and immediately run your Zig program. Each of these cells contains a zig program that you can try to run (some of them contain compile-time errors that you can comment out to play with)
