Rules for Horizontal Refactoring

• If you go red, undo
• Only change one line at a time

1. Find two strings that are the most alike
2. Find the smallest difference
3. Make the smallest change that make the tests pass

# POODR page 28
Wheel = Struct.new(:rim, :tire)
def wheelify(data)
  data.collect {|cell| Wheel.new(cell[0], cell[1])}
end

# POODR Page 32
class Gear
  attr_reader :chainring, :cog, :wheel
  def initialize(chainring, cog, rim, tire)

Modules

To understand modules, we first have to understand a little bit about how Ruby works. So, lets define the things that exist in Ruby and see how they work together. Then, we will be able to understand how modules fit into this, and what they are here for.
