# Grade School
|
|
|
|
Given students' names along with the grade that they are in, create a roster
|
|
for the school.
|
|
|
|
In the end, you should be able to:
|
|
|
|
- Add a student's name to the roster for a grade
|
|
- "Add Jim to grade 2."
|
|
- "OK."
|
|
- Get a list of all students enrolled in a grade
|
|
- "Which students are in grade 2?"
|
|
- "We've only got Jim just now."
|
|
- Get a sorted list of all students in all grades. Grades should sort
|
|
as 1, 2, 3, etc., and students within a grade should be sorted
|
|
alphabetically by name.
|
|
- "Who all is enrolled in school right now?"
|
|
- "Grade 1: Anna, Barb, and Charlie. Grade 2: Alex, Peter, and Zoe.
|
|
Grade 3…"
|
|
|
|
Note that all our students only have one name. (It's a small town, what
|
|
do you want?)
|
|
|
|
## For bonus points
|
|
|
|
Did you get the tests passing and the code clean? If you want to, these
|
|
are some additional things you could try:
|
|
|
|
- If you're working in a language with mutable data structures and your
|
|
implementation allows outside code to mutate the school's internal DB
|
|
directly, see if you can prevent this. Feel free to introduce additional
|
|
tests.
|
|
|
|
Then please share your thoughts in a comment on the submission. Did this
|
|
experiment make the code better? Worse? Did you learn anything from it?

For running the tests provided, you will need the Minitest gem. Open a
|
|
terminal window and run the following command to install minitest:
|
|
|
|
gem install minitest
|
|
|
|
If you would like color output, you can `require 'minitest/pride'` in
|
|
the test file, or note the alternative instruction, below, for running
|
|
the test file.
|
|
|
|
Run the tests from the exercise directory using the following command:
|
|
|
|
ruby grade_school_test.rb
|
|
|
|
To include color from the command line:
|
|
|
|
ruby -r minitest/pride grade_school_test.rb
