+# Instructions
+
+In this exercise you will implement a partial set of utility routines to help a developer clean up identifier names.
+
+In the 6 tasks you will gradually build up the functions `transform` to convert single characters and `clean` to convert strings.
+
+A valid identifier comprises zero or more letters, underscores, hyphens, question marks and emojis.
+
+If an empty string is passed to the `clean` function, an empty string should be returned.
+
+## 1. Replace any hyphens encountered with underscores
+
+Implement the `transform` function to replace any hyphens with underscores.
+
+```julia
+transform('-')  # => "_"
+```
+
+## 2. Remove all whitespace
+
+Remove all whitespace characters.
+This will include leading and trailing whitespace.
+
+```julia
+transform(' ')  # => ""
+```
+
+## 3. Convert camelCase to kebab-case
+
+Modify the `transform` function to convert camelCase to kebab-case
+
+```julia
+transform('D')  # => "-d"
+```
+
+## 4. Omit characters that are digits
+
+Modify the `transform` function to omit any characters that are numeric.
+
+```julia
+transform('7')  # => ""
+```
+
+## 5. Replace Greek lower case letters with question marks
+
+Modify the `transform` function to replace any Greek letters in the range 'α' to 'ω'.
+
+```julia
+transform('β') # => "?"
+```
+
+## 6. Combine these operations to operate on a string
+
+Implement the `clean` function to apply these operations to an entire string.
+
+Characters which fall outside the rules should pass through unchanged.
+
+```julia
+clean("  a2b Cd-ω😀  ") #  => "ab-cd_?😀"
+```

+# Hints
+
+## 1. Replace any spaces encountered with underscores
+
+- [Reference documentation][char-docs] for `Char`s is here.
+- `Char` literals are enclosed in 'single quotes', `String` literals in "double quotes".
+
+## 2. Remove all whitespace
+
+- See [this method][isspace] for detecting whitespace characters and [this method][isdigit] for digits.
+
+## 3. Convert camel-case to kebab-case
+
+- See [this method][isuppercase] to check if a character is case.
+- See [this method][lowercase] to convert a character to lower case.
+
+## 5. Omit Greek lower case letters
+
+- `Char`s support the default equality and comparison operators.
+
+## 6. Combine these operations to operate on a string
+
+- A string can be iterated over, in the same way as an array.
+- To do all the transforms, consider using a comprehension.
+- Multiple strings can be [joined][join] into one.
