String Calculator Kata (http://osherove.com/tdd-kata-1/)
-
Create a simple String calculator with a method int Add(string numbers)
- The method can take 0, 1 or 2 numbers, and will return their sum (for an empty string it will return 0) for example**“” or “1” or “1,2”**
- Start with the simplest test case of an empty string and move to 1 and two numbers
- 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
-
Allow the Add method to handle an unknown amount of numbers
-
Allow the Add method to handle new lines between numbers (instead of commas).
- the following input is ok: “1\n2,3” (will equal 6)
- the following input is NOT ok: “1,\n” (not need to prove it - just clarifying)
-
- to change 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 default delimiter is ‘;’ . - the first line is optional. all existing scenarios should still be supported
- to change a delimiter, the beginning of the string will contain
a separate line that looks like this:
-
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
-
Numbers bigger than 1000 should be ignored, so adding 2 + 1001 = 2
-
Delimiters can be of any length with the following format: “//[delimiter]\n” for example: “//[***]\n1***2***3” should return 6
-
Allow multiple delimiters like this: “//[delim1][delim2]\n” for example “//[*][%]\n1*2%3” should return 6.
-
make sure you can also handle multiple delimiters with length longer than one char
