In all my years, as a developer, I’ve never had a project that required converting Roman numerals… that project, wherever it is out there in the wild, sounds like it would be an entertaining one.. class RomanNumerals DIGITS = { 1000 => ‘M’, 900 => ‘CM’, 500 => ‘D’, 400 => ‘CD’, 100 => ‘C’,…

This example was given as a spin-off to the Google Code Jam “Cookie Clicker” challenge. class Investor def initialize(*args) @c, @f, @x = args @income = 2.0 @seconds = 0 end def solve return proper_seconds if (@x-@c)/@income < @x/(@income + @f) @seconds += @c/@income @income += @f solve end def proper_seconds (@seconds + @x/@income).round(7) end...
Here is my simple answer to a typical test given during interviews class FizzBuzz FIZZ = ‘Fizz’ BUZZ = ‘Buzz’ def FizzBuzz.fizz_it(iterations = 100) (1..iterations).map do |i| fizz = FIZZ if i % 3 == 0 buzz = BUZZ if i % 5 == 0 (fizz || buzz) ? “#{fizz}#{buzz}” : i end.join(‘, ‘) end…
