#CLASS/INSTANCE METHODS AND VARIABLES PRACTICE: | |
# | |
#1. create a class called Project | |
class Project | |
#3. make the instance variables accessible by dot notation EXCEPT for date updated | |
attr_accessor :title, :description, :role, :date_created | |
#1. create a class variable called count | |
@@count = 0 | |
#2. create a class method to return @@count | |
def self.count | |
@@count | |
end | |
#2. create a class constant that holds an array with thenumbers 1-10 | |
MYARRAY = [1 ,12, 10] | |
#1. create a class method called "sayClassName" that prints name of the class | |
def self.sayClassName | |
self | |
end | |
#1. create a instance method called "sayClassName" that prints name of the class | |
def sayClassName | |
self.class | |
end | |
#2. give it the instance variables title, description, role, date created and date updated | |
def initialize(title, description, role, date_created, date_updated) | |
@title = title | |
@description = description | |
@role = role | |
@date_created = date_created | |
@date_updated = date_updated | |
#count everytime initialize is run | |
@@count = @@count + 1 | |
end | |
#4. make a instance method called getDateUpdated to return date_updated | |
def getDateUpdated | |
return @date_updated | |
end | |
#5. make an instance method called changeDateUpdated to change the value of date_updated. this method should print "successfully updated <Project title>." | |
def changeDateUpdated(newValue) | |
@date_updated = newValue | |
puts "Successfully updated" + @title | |
end | |
end |

Test the interface of your class: | |
(place this code in the same ruby file below the class definiton) | |
* make a new project #e.g. Project.new() | |
* access instance variable values | |
* using dot notation | |
* using instance methods | |
* change instance variable values | |
* using dot notation | |
* using instance methods #e.g. myProject.changeDateUpdated("05 May 1986") | |
* access the count of objects created | |
* using :: | |
* using a class method | |
THEN... when you are sure it works, write in English how the program goes line by line to make it work. |
