Remote Control Car

Instructions
In this exercise you'll be playing around with a remote controlled car, which you've finally saved enough money for to buy.
Cars start with full (100%) batteries. Each time you drive the car using the remote control, it covers 20 meters and drains one percent of the battery. The car's nickname is not known until it is created.
The remote controlled car has a fancy LED display that shows two bits of information:
- The total distance it has driven, displayed as:
"<METERS> meters". - The remaining battery charge, displayed as:
"Battery at <PERCENTAGE>%".
If the battery is at 0%, you can't drive the car anymore and the battery display will show "Battery empty".
1. Create a brand-new remote controlled car
Implement the RemoteControlCar.new/0 function to return a brand-new remote controlled car struct:
RemoteControlCar.new()
# => %RemoteControlCar{
# battery_percentage: 100,
# distance_driven_in_meters: 0,
# nickname: "none"
# }The nickname is required by the struct, make sure that a value is initialized in the new function, but not in the struct.
2. Create a brand-new remote controlled car with a nickname
Implement the RemoteControlCar.new/1 function to return a brand-new remote controlled car struct with a provided nickname:
RemoteControlCar.new("Blue")
# => %RemoteControlCar{
# battery_percentage: 100,
# distance_driven_in_meters: 0,
# nickname: "Blue"
# }3. Display the distance
Implement the RemoteControlCar.display_distance/1 function to return the distance as displayed on the LED display:
car = RemoteControlCar.new()
RemoteControlCar.display_distance(car)
# => "0 meters"Make sure the function only accepts a RemoteControlCar struct as the argument.
4. Display the battery percentage
Implement the RemoteControlCar.display_battery/1 function to return the battery percentage as displayed on the LED display:
car = RemoteControlCar.new()
RemoteControlCar.display_battery(car)
# => "Battery at 100%"Make sure the function only accepts a RemoteControlCar struct as the argument. If the battery is at 0%, the battery display will show "Battery empty".
5. Driving changes the battery and distance driven
Implement the RemoteControlCar.drive/1 function that:
- updates the number of meters driven by 20
- drains 1% of the battery
RemoteControlCar.new("Red")
|> RemoteControlCar.drive()
# => %RemoteControlCar{
# battery_percentage: 99,
# distance_driven_in_meters: 20,
# nickname: "Red"
# }Make sure the function only accepts a RemoteControlCar struct as the argument.
6. Account for driving with a dead battery
Update the RemoteControlCar.drive/1 function to not increase the distance driven nor decrease the battery percentage when the battery is drained (at 0%):
%RemoteControlCar{
battery_percentage: 0,
distance_driven_in_meters: 1980,
nickname: "Red"
}
|> RemoteControlCar.drive()
# => %RemoteControlCar{
# battery_percentage: 0,
# distance_driven_in_meters: 1980,
# nickname: "Red"
# }Remote Control Car
