## OUTLINE

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



def ask_for_birthday
  print "Please enter their birthday (dd/mm/yyyy): "
  Date.parse gets.chomp
rescue => e
  retry
end

def ask_for_name
  print "Hey! What's this guest's name? "

  gets.strip
end

def calculate_number_of_guests_and_friends(list_of_guests)
  list_of_guests.length + list_of_guests.reject do |guest|
    guest[:friends].zero?
  end.length
end

def calculate_age_from_birthday(birthday)
  Time.now.year - birthday.year
end



guests = []

until (name = ask_for_name).empty?
  guest_birthday     = ask_for_birthday
  is_bringing_a_gift = rand(2).to_i.zero? ? true : false # TODO
  how_many_friends   = rand(2).to_i # TODO

  guests << {
    :age     => calculate_age_from_birthday(guest_birthday),
    :gift    => is_bringing_a_gift,
    :friends => how_many_friends,
    :name    => name
  }

  puts "Great, #{name} is all set up\n\n"
end

number_of_gifts   = guests.select { |g| g[:gift] }.length
number_of_people  = calculate_number_of_guests_and_friends(guests)


# 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.length} guests with friends for a total of #{number_of_people} people."
puts "#{number_of_gifts} of them are bringing gifts."
puts "Here is everyone's ages: "

# TODO: loop over each guest

guests.each do |guest|

  puts "* #{guest[:name]} is #{guest[:age]} years old"

end




##
## 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
