Before you start: | |
- Try not to read ahead. | |
- Do one task at a time, work incrementally. | |
- Only test for correct inputs, no need to test for invalid inputs. | |
String Calculator: | |
1. Create a simple StringCalculator class with one method int Add(string numbers) | |
1. An empty string will return 0 | |
2. A single number will return the number | |
- Remember to solve things as simply as possible so that you force yourself to write tests you did not think about | |
- Remember to refactor after each passing test | |
2. Allow the Add method to handle an unknown amount of comma delimited numbers | |
3. Allow the Add method to handle new lines (\n) between numbers (as well as commas). | |
1. the following input is ok: "1\n2,3" (will equal 6) | |
4. Support different delimiters | |
1. to add a delimiter, the beginning of the string will contain a separate line that looks like this: | |
"//[delimiter]\n[numbers…]" for example "//;\n1;2" should return three where the new delimiter is ";" | |
All existing scenarios should still be supported, with ',' still the default delimeter | |
5. Calling Add with a negative number will throw an exception "negatives not allowed" - and the negative that was passed.if there are multiple negatives, show all of them in the exception message | |
---------- | |
Continue if you can finish the steps so far in less than 30 minutes. | |
---------- | |
6. Numbers bigger than 1000 should be ignored, so adding 2 + 1001 = 2 | |
7. Delimiters can be of any length with the following format: “//[delimiter]\n” for example: “//[***]\n1***2***3” should return 6 | |
8. Allow multiple delimiters like this: “//[delim1][delim2]\n” for example “//[*][%]\n1*2%3” should return 6. | |
9. make sure you can also handle multiple delimiters with length longer than one char |
