Ruby Practice

Run your Ruby file by typing ruby and then the name of the file you want to run in the Terminal.

If we want to run float_round.rb, we can write the command:

ruby float_round.rb

To re-run this command, you can use the UP and DOWN arrow keys to look at the history of commands you've run in a Terminal.

Float

float_find_hypotenuse.rb

A right triangle's two shorter sides have length 2.8 and 4.5. Write a program to calculate how long its longest side is and print it.

Remember: the Pythagorean Theorem says that

where a and b are the lengths of the shorter sides, and c is the length of the longest side.

Your program should output a number; for example,

5.3

float_rounding.rb

Write a program that calculates 10 divided by 3 and rounds the result to 3 decimal places. The program should print this result.

3.333

float-chapter's Issues

Improve checks for hardcoded solutions

To something like:

if !line[0] =="#" || line[0] == "p" || line[0] == "puts"

instead of include?. This should be more accurate b/c p could appear in a comment (w/ the word # Example for instance) which would prevent the test from ignoring that line.

There is the case when p could be the first letter in a variable, not using the p method, but that should also be safe to ignore since it's not a hard coded solution.
