+# Instructions
+
+Implement the `keep` and `discard` operation on collections.
+Given a collection and a predicate on the collection's elements, `keep` returns a new collection containing those elements where the predicate is true, while `discard` returns a new collection containing those elements where the predicate is false.
+
+For example, given the collection of numbers:
+
+- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
+
+And the predicate:
+
+- is the number even?
+
+Then your keep operation should produce:
+
+- 2, 4
+
+While your discard operation should produce:
+
+- 1, 3, 5
+
+Note that the union of keep and discard is all the elements.
+
+The functions may be called `keep` and `discard`, or they may need different names in order to not clash with existing functions or concepts in your language.
+
+## Restrictions
+
+Keep your hands off that filter/reject/whatchamacallit functionality provided by your standard library!
+Solve this one yourself using other basic tools instead.
