Floats and Integers
What’s the difference between a float and integer?
>> A Float has decimals while an integer is only whole numbers
What’s are the similarities and differences between BigNum and FixNum?
>> BigNum and FixNum are both classes.
>> * Bignum and FixNum both hold whole numbers, can't accomodate decimal points, both types of integers

Module 1 Week 4 Diagnostic

This exercise is intended to help you assess your progress with the concepts and techniques we've covered during the week.

For these questions, write a short description or snippet of code that meets the requirement. In cases where the question mentions a "given" data value, use the variable given to refer to it (instead of re-writing the information).

1. Give one difference between Modules and Classes.

Classes have to be instantantiated to be used, Modules cannot be instantiated.

HTML & CSS Exploration

HTML

###HTML Skeleton

The HTML skeleton is the most basic layout for an HTML doc. It includes a Head and a body all wrapped within an HTML element. At the top of the page we declare the doctype so that the browser knows who to read it.

###<head></head>

The <head> element contains metadata about the document it is contained in. Nothing in the <head> is actually displayed on the page. At a minimum the <head> will probably contain a page title and a link to an external stylsheet.

###<body</body>

The body contains the actual html structure of the webpage. This structure is made up of html tags which can either have semantic meaning or not.

Rails Rspec model testing skeleton & cheat sheet using rspec-rails, shoulda-matchers, shoulda-callbacks, and factory_girl_rails. Pretty much a brain dump of examples of what you can (should?) test in a model. Pick & choose what you like, and please let me know if there are any errors or new/changed features out there. Reddit comment thread: http…
# This is a skeleton for testing models including examples of validations, callbacks,
# scopes, instance & class methods, associations, and more.
# Pick and choose what you want, as all models don't NEED to be tested at this depth.
#
# I'm always eager to hear new tips & suggestions as I'm still new to testing,
# so if you have any, please share!
