## OUTLINE
##

# We're going to want to break the problem down into steps.
# First, let's ask for the user's input:


puts "Hey there! Please enter a list of names:"

guest_names = 'John, Sam, Bob, Alisha, Henry' # TODO: ask for input




# We want to loop (or iterate) over each name.
# * What type of data do we have in the `guests` variable?
# * What type of data supports iteration?
# * How do we transform the first into the second?


list_of_guest_names = []
guests = []

list_of_guest_names.each do |guest_name|
  guest_birthday = '10/27/1978' # TODO: ask them their birthday

  person = {
    :name => guest_name,
    :age  => 15 # TODO: calculate this based on their birthday
  }

  # Store this value into the `guests` array
  guests << person
end




# We want to display the data onto the screen.
#
# * How many guests do we have total?
# * What are their names and ages?

puts "All done. You have ? guests. Here are their ages:"

# TODO: loop over each guest





##
## EXTENSION #1
##

# Ask for a few more pieces of information:
#
# * Are they bringing a gift? (true or false)
# * Display how many people are bringing a gift.





##
## EXTENSION #2
##

# * How many friends are they bringing? (0, 1)
# * Update the "number of guests" to take the friends' numbers into account:
#
# "You have 5 guests who are bringing 2 friends for a total of 7 people."



##
## EXTENSION #3 
##

# Calculate how much the party will cost.  
# * Estimate $5 for each person, including the friends that guests are bringing.
# * Add an extra $3 for each person over 21, as they will drink our alcohol
# * Provide a $2 discount for each senior citizen


##
## EXTENSION #4 
##

# Display a receipt for the total party cost 
# * Display each person as a line-item ($5)
# * Display each alcohol addition
# * Display each discount
# * `rjust` or `ljust` (string methods) each column and value so everything lines up nicely

# EXAMPLE: 
# *      Nathaniel:  $5
# *           John:  $5 
# *            Sam:  $5
# *   John Alcohol:  $3
# *    Sam Alcohol:  $3
# *    John Senior: ($2)
# *       Subtotal: $19
# *            Tax:  $1.90
# *          Total: $21.90
