# Nucleotide Count
|
||||
|
||||
Welcome to Nucleotide Count on Exercism's TypeScript Track.
|
||||
If you need help running the tests or submitting your code, check out `HELP.md`.

## Instructions
|
||||
|
||||
Each of us inherits from our biological parents a set of chemical instructions known as DNA that influence how our bodies are constructed.
|
||||
All known life depends on DNA!
|
||||
|
||||
> Note: You do not need to understand anything about nucleotides or DNA to complete this exercise.
|
||||
|
||||
DNA is a long chain of other chemicals and the most important are the four nucleotides, adenine, cytosine, guanine and thymine.
|
||||
A single DNA chain can contain billions of these four nucleotides and the order in which they occur is important!
|
||||
We call the order of these nucleotides in a bit of DNA a "DNA sequence".
|
||||
|
||||
We represent a DNA sequence as an ordered collection of these four nucleotides and a common way to do that is with a string of characters such as "ATTACG" for a DNA sequence of 6 nucleotides.
|
||||
'A' for adenine, 'C' for cytosine, 'G' for guanine, and 'T' for thymine.
|
||||
|
||||
Given a string representing a DNA sequence, count how many of each nucleotide is present.
|
||||
If the string contains characters that aren't A, C, G, or T then it is invalid and you should signal an error.
|
||||
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
```text
|
||||
"GATTACA" -> 'A': 3, 'C': 1, 'G': 1, 'T': 2
|
||||
"INVALID" -> error
|
||||
```
