There are a series of lights in a row. Each light is either on or off. The lights are serially blinked in a pattern. Each successive pattern is based on the previous pattern. The pattern is based on a set of rules. The state of each light is based on its own state and the state of the light to its left and right.

The rules are as follows:

If the initial state is "◻◻◻◼◻◻◻", then the next state according to the rules will be "◻◻◼◼◼◻◻".

Explanation:

Consider groups of lights in 3. For the first and the last light, assume that the lights to the left and right are off.

Write a program that receives a string of lights and the number of iterations. The program should print the state of the lights for each of the given number of iterations.

bb -m main "◻◻◻◼◻◻◻" 5

Should output

◻◻◻◼◻◻◻ ◻◻◼◼◼◻◻ ◻◼◼◻◻◼◻ ◼◼◻◼◼◼◼ ◼◻◻◼◻◻◻ 

Implement:

• main/main
• rules/process
• rules/display

rules/process and rules/display put together shouldn't be more than 15-20 lines. So don't overthink it.
