Module 1 Week 2 Diagnostic

This exercise is intended to help you assess your progress with the concepts and techniques we've covered during the week.

When complete, fill out this form.

For these questions, write a short snippet of code that meets the requirement. In cases where the question mentions a "given" data value, use the variable given to refer to it (instead of re-writing the information).

1. Define a class called PizzaOven which has a method cook_pizza which returns the string "mmm 'za"

class PizzaOven def cook_pizza "mmm 'za" end end

2. Define a class called Student which is instantiated with a "name" value and which has a method name that returns this value

class Student def initialize(name) @name = name end

def show_name @name end

3. Given an array of the numbers [1,2,3,4,5], find the sum of the doubles of all the numbers

numbers = [1,2,3,4,5] doubles = numbers.map do |number| number * 2 end

sum = doubles.inject(:+) puts sum

4. Give the command to create a new Git repository in a directory on your machine

(You run this inside of the directory in terminal) git init

5. Testing and Pizza

Given a hypothetical Pizza class which has an instance method is_tasty? that always returns true, write a simple Minitest test that tests this behavior.

gem 'minitest', '~> 5.0' require 'minitest/autorun' require 'minitest/pride' require_relative 'pizza.rb'

class PizzaTest < Minitest::Test def test_it_is_tasty pizza = Pizza.new("true") assert_equal true, pizza.is_tasty? end end

class Pizza attr_reader @tasty

def initialize(tasty) @tasty = true end def is_tasty? true end end

Suppose the Pizza class also has a method style which randomly returns one of: "supreme", "mediterranean", or "cheese". Write a test that confirms that the returned pizza style is within this list.

GO BACK TO THIS ONE

6. Give the Git commands needed to stage and then commit a set of changes to a file

git status git add filename.txt git status git commit -m "comments about the file to be committed" git status

7. More Objects

Define a Student class which, when created, has an attitude attribute. attitude should start out with the value "cheerful", and the Student class should provide a "reader" method that allows us to access the value of its attitude.

Additionally, add an assign_homework method to Student. When assigned_homework is invoked, if the student's attitude is "cheerful", it should become "dubious". If the value is currently "dubious" it should become "perturbed". If the value is currently "perturbed", it should become "dazed". Assigning homework to a "dazed" student has no effect.

NOTE: I know that this does not work fully, but i think it is on the right path. I will redo it after the review.

class Student attr_reader :attitude def initialize(attitude = "cheerful") @attitude = attitude end

def assign_homework if @attitude attitude = "dubious" elsif @attitude == "dubious" attitude = "perturbed" elsif @attitude == "perturbed" attitude = "dazed" else attitute = "dazed end end

end

8. Adding to Students

Building on the Student class from the previous example, update the assign_homework method to accept an argument. The argument will be a String containing a short description of the assignment. For example we might use it like this:

s = Student.new
s.assign_homework("Write a linked list")

Then, add an assignments method to Student. assignments should return a list of all the assignments that have been given, separated by a comma and a space. For example:

s = Student.new
s.attitude
=> "cheerful"
s.assign_homework("write a linked list")
s.attitude
=> "dubious"
s.assign_homework("write a BST")
s.attitude
=> "perturbed"
s.assignments
=> "write a linked list, write a BST"


























9. Inheritance

Create a new class SurlyStudent which inherits from the Student class above. However, whenever you ask a SurlyStudent for their attitude, they always respond with "disgruntled"

10. Given an array of 3 Student instances, generate a new string of all of their assignments

For example:

s1 = Student.new
s2 = Student.new
s3 = Student.new

s1.assign_homework("linked list")
s1.assign_homework("sorting algos")

s2.assign_homework("write a c compiler")
s2.assign_homework("write a pacman game")

s3.assign_homework("headcount")
s3.assign_homework("sales engine")

students = [s1,s2,s3]

# YOUR CODE HERE

=> "linked list, sorting algos, write a c compiler, write a pacman game, headcount, sales engine"
