Simple Linked List exercise confusion

[joshgoebel]

I think I personally found the idea of a stack strong-ish implied given there is an explicit test for LIFO behavior. That plus the reversal behavior, but I can see where someone might find that behavior confusing. It would help to be certain first you were dealing with a stack.

we should probably rename the class SimpleLinkedList to Stack.

This would surely add some clarity :-) It should be noted if we find this unclear that this exercise is spread across MANY if not all tracks, so we may need to update them all - do we still have canonical text/verbiage anywhere or did that go away with version 3?

The canonical will be started from the problem specifications and then may be further specified in the language track via test generation or documentation. The ruby exercise information appears to come directly unmodified from the problem specifications.

[joshgoebel]

Yeah, that would have been my guess. :)

I'm going to close this, as the conclusion was that the change needs to be proposed in the Problem Specifications repository.

The simple linked list is currently up-to-date with the problem-specifications repository, and if further changes are made there, we can sync this exercise again.
