kayline / pad_array
Created March 20, 2013 02:46
DBC Prework - Pad an array. In the second method, removing "clone" from line 17 causes the code to fail the 4th spec test, for padding the array with "apples". Why? It seems like all that should do is cause it to fail the 3rd spec test, for a non-destructive method.
class Array
def pad!(min_size, value = nil)
array = self
diff = min_size - self.length
if diff <= 0
return self
else
diff.times do
array.push(value)

Reverse Polish Notation Calculator. Can do recursively?
class RPNCalculator
def evaluate(input)
puts "BEGIN NEW CALC"
stack = []
puts "Initial input is #{input}"
until input == ""
item = input.match(/\A\S*/)
puts "Current item is #{item}"
item_string = item.to_s

Reverse words. Seems to work but the Rspec fails
def reverse_words(str)
array = []
result = ""
str.each_line(" ") { |s| array.push(s.reverse)}
array.each do |i|
result = result + i +" "
end
result = result.chop.lstrip
puts result
return result
