def test_average(array = [])

p result == result.to_i ? result.to_i : result
end
## TEST CODE
test_average([4,5,6]) # => 5
test_average([15,5,10]) # => 10
# Should treat string like number
test_average([15,'5',10]) # => 10
# Should show decimal value
test_average([10, 5]) # => 7.5 instead of just 7
# Watch out! Even tests can have bugs!
test_average([9, 5, 7])
# Empty set should return nil, not throw an error
test_average([]) # => nil
# Non-existent set should return nil
test_average() # => nil
# BONUS: Should ignore nils in the set
test_average([9,6,nil,3]) # => 6

# 1. The following should return 165 instead of an error

# 2. How would you refactor it using an enumerable method other than each? Examples of enumerables: map, select, inject, reject, detect.
def new_sum(list)
list.inject { |a,b| a + b }

word.split('').each { |letter| letters[letter] += 1 }
end
letters
end
# Why the long face(error)?
# 1. This should return count of each letter in the list
# ex: { "a" => 4, "p" => 3, "l" => 1 ...}
puts char_count(['apples', 'oranges', 'hipsters', 'are', 'same'])
# 2. What are the improvements you can do to above code?
