I need a gem. Call it whatever you like, but when you're done with this exercise, all I want you to give me is a gem file.
Also, your gem should not depend on any other gems. (Depending on a testing framework like RSpec acceptable.)

Inside the gem, there should be 2 functions. Both functions take a string and a list of words. For example:

    obfuscate("big string of big words is bigger", ["big", "words"])
    report("big string of big words is bigger", ["big", "words"])

"obfuscate" returns the string with all words from the list obfuscated. For example:

    obfuscate("big string of big words is bigger", ["big", "words"])
	=> "*** string of *** ***** is bigger"

"report" returns a hash that contains the list of words and their associated frequency in the string. For example:

    report("big string of big words is bigger", ["big", "words"])
	=> {"big" => 2, "words" => 1}

The functions could be at the top-level or namespaced. Your call.

Thanks.

"...gem should not depend on any other gems"

In my rakefile...as in 'require rubygems' or as in 'development dependencies = []'?

As in dependencies. As in, your code shouldn't have any 'requires' at the top. This solution should be in pure Ruby. No activesupport, etc.

I'm sure I've got something more to do...but for now...https://github.com/thefonso/obfu_report

First time i've gone through this process...oh yeah...I got this thing on rubygems also...https://rubygems.org/profiles/57828

The next steps would be to: - remove all the puts statements and return the required values (a String for obfuscate, and a Hash for report) - obfuscate("foo bar baz", ["bar"]) should return "foo **\* baz" rather than "foo \* baz" which is what your code currently does

Ah...more like this (version 5)?
https://rubygems.org/gems/obfu_report/versions/
https://github.com/thefonso/obfu_report

Yeah, exactly like that. Nice job.

I didn't put this into a gem but I just wanted to take a stab at solving it.
