Rubies

Newcomers to programming would benefit from practicing drills regularly until basic problem solving becomes second nature. This gem is a command line tool that allows users to solve randomly generated small problems.

It currently supports drills surrounding simple and complex data structures. I would like more complex problems to be part of the suite soon. Right now, they are intended towards navigating simple to compound data structures as this is often an area that newcomers to programming find confusing.

$ gem install rubies

rubies

After typing rubies into your terminal, you will see the Splash screen:

After starting, you will see randomly generated data structures for you to work through:

Here, you are being asked to find 865 in the array called current, which is located in the 3rd position (or index of 2). The answer would be the following:

[1] rubies(main)> current[2]
=> 865

Here, you are given a hash called current and are being asked to find the right command for engineer collaborative schemas. The key associated with that value is Bergnaum-Pouros, so the answer would be the following:

[1] rubies(main)> current["Bergnaum-Pouros"]
=> enable collaborative schemas

Here, you are given an array with a hash in it, or a compound data structure, and are being asked to find (106) 777-4274. This is how you could go about it:

[1] rubies(main)> current[0]["Mikel Herman"]["phone"]
=> (106) 777-4274

Type new to get another data structure or exit to quit and see your final score. Try to do 15-20 minutes every day and you will be in great shape!
