 * Each resistor has a resistance value.
 * Resistors are small - so small in fact that if you printed the resistance value on them, it would be hard to read.
-To get around this problem, manufacturers print color-coded bands onto the resistors to denote their resistance values. Each band acts as a digit of a number. For example, if they printed a brown band (value 1) followed by a green band (value 5), it would translate to the number 15.
-
-In this exercise, you are going to create a helpful program so that you don't have to remember the values of the bands. The program will take two colors as input, and output the correct number.
-
-The band colors are encoded as follows:
-
-- Black: 0
-- Brown: 1
-- Red: 2
-- Orange: 3
-- Yellow: 4
-- Green: 5
-- Blue: 6
-- Violet: 7
-- Grey: 8
-- White: 9

+In this exercise you are going to create a helpful program so that you don't have to remember the values of the bands. The program will take color names as input and output a two digit number, even if the input is more than two colors!
+
+The colors are mapped to the numbers from 0 to 9 in the sequence:
+Black - Brown - Red - Orange - Yellow - Green - Blue - Violet - Grey - White
+
+From the example above:
+brown-green should return 15
+brown-green-violet should return 15 too, ignoring the third color.
