Hey there! Congrats on making it this far on the hiring journey. We are looking for great Ruby developers, and we hope that you're one of them! Please complete this ruby challenge so we can get a better feel for your development style and abilities.
Write a command-line program that prints the number of lines spoken by each character in the Shakespeare play Macbeth.
To start, you'll want to clone and run the setup script for the repo
git clone [email protected]:surecart/ruby-challenge.git
cd analyzing-shakespeare
bin/setup
Sample usage/output (using made-up numbers):
$ ruby macbeth_analyzer.rb
543 Macbeth
345 Banquo
220 Duncan
(etc.)
You can find an XML-encoded version of Macbeth here: http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/examples/shakespeare/macbeth.xml. Your program should download and parse this file at runtime.
Your solution must be tested, preferably via TDD. Running your tests should not download the play from the ibiblio.org server.
Note: some lines are attributed to a speaker called "ALL". Your program should ignore these.
Create a new branch titled solution and open a PR. If you'd like to add any comments regarding your solution you can do so in the PR. Send us a link to your PR so we can review and collaborate on it.
You'll notice that this repository is forked from https://github.com/thoughtbot-upcase-exercises/analyzing-shakespeare. All credit goes to thoughtbot for this excercise.
NOTE: You can browse the main repository for a featured solution if you need some help. Please do not just copy this solution. We are looking for your own original work.
