Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment!

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What was a design challenge that you encountered on this project?	I considered making the Calendar module functions part of RoomReservation but decided it had enough different functions to warrant its own module/separate structure.
What was a design decision you made that changed over time over the project?	Initially I decided to make a Room class, but it wasn't necessary so although I like the idea I decided to leave it out.
What was a concept you gained clarity on, or a learning that you'd like to share?	I tried to reduce dependencies more than what we did in past projects, like oo-ride-share, and I feel like putting the book's concepts into action helped solidify them.
What is an example of a nominal test that you wrote for this assignment? What makes it a nominal case?	There is a test to make sure new_reservation in RoomReservation instantiates the Reservation class with instance variables that match the input arguments.
What is an example of an edge case test that you wrote for this assignment? What makes it an edge case?	There is a test to make sure attempting to book a room when the hotel has no availability throws an error.
How do you feel you did in writing pseudocode first, then writing the tests and then the code?	I am still unable to write the majority of tests without the majority of actual code written first, but it is improving with time.

Side note, I have no idea what happened between my files and Github. I believe I was pushing to the wrong branch somehow, and then had a bunch of trouble trying to transfer them over so eventually I just used file uploader in a web browser to add the files to this correct repository. Apparently those are the only commits viewable now.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Baseline
Used git regularly	You had issues with git, so hard to judge here.
Answer comprehension questions	Check, I'm glad you're improving on pseudocode and TDD, but it's normal for it to be tough.
Design
Each class is responsible for a single piece of the program	Check, but see my notes on `Calendar`
Classes are loosely coupled	Check
Wave 1
List rooms	Check
Reserve a room for a given date range	Check
List reservations for a given date	Check
Calculate reservation price	Check
Invalid date range produces an error	Check
Wave 2
View available rooms for a given date range	Check
Reserving a room that is not available produces an error	Check
Wave 3
Create a block of rooms	Check
Check if a block has rooms	Check
Reserve a room from a block	Check
Test coverage	98%, nice!
Fundamentals
Names variables, classes and modules appropriately	Mostly, see my inline notes
Understanding of variable scope - local vs instance	Check
Can create complex logical structures utilizing variables	Check, I like how you used array methods to get available rooms
Appropriately uses methods to break down tasks into smaller simpler tasks	Check
Understands the differences between class and instance methods	Check
Appropriately uses iterators and `Enumerable` methods	Check
Appropriately writes and utilizes classes	Check
Appropriately utilizes modules as a namespace	Check
Wrap Up
There is a refactors.txt file	Check
The file provides a roadmap to future changes	Check
Additional Feedback	Well done, you hit all the learning goals for the project. Nice work! See my inline notes and the instructor reference solution, but you did a nice job. Let me know if you have questions.

lib/block.rb

+    def initialize(name, check_in, check_out, block, rate)
+      check_number_of_rooms(block)
+      @name = name
+      @check_in = check_in


You should also do something to verify the dates here.

lib/block.rb

+      end
+    end
+
+    def set_blocked_room_rate


This method doesn't make too much sense due to the fact that the room's rate only change for reservations within the block, not normal reservations.

CheezItMan · 2019-03-25T06:57:38Z

lib/block.rb

+    end
+
+    def available
+      available_rooms = rooms.find_all { |room| room.block_reserved == nil }


Does this mean that a room can only be in one block at a time? What about two blocks on different dates?

+module Calendar
+  def Calendar.date_range_include?(reservation, date)


It's good to have these methods, but wouldn't it make sense to make them instance methods of the Reservation class or pulled into instance method of a DateRange class? that way you could do?

my_reservation.includes(date) my_reservation.does_not_overlap(other_reservation)

lib/room_reservation.rb

+module Hotel
+  class RoomReservation
+    Room = Struct.new(:id, :cost, :block_reserved)


You don't seem to use this struct...

CheezItMan · 2019-03-25T07:03:14Z

lib/room_reservation.rb

+require_relative "full_room"
+
+module Hotel
+  class RoomReservation


This class seems like it would be better named something like ReservationManager. Something that describes it's function.

CheezItMan · 2019-03-25T07:05:32Z

lib/room_reservation.rb

+      return new_reservation
+    end
+
+    def room_unavailable?(room, check_in, check_out)


Good method, but I think it should be a private helper method.

CheezItMan · 2019-03-25T07:05:56Z

lib/room_reservation.rb

+      return blocked_rooms
+    end
+
+    def block_available_rooms(check_in, check_out, number_of_rooms, rate)


This should also be a private helper method.

refactors.txt

+2 - Test data read from a CSV file could have been more thorough and led to better
+tests
+
+3 - I'm not sure that I like Calendar being a separate module but I'm not sure how


Check out my comment above

spec/room_reservation_spec.rb

+    end
+
+    it "instantiates a new Reservation and adds it to master collection" do


You should also test that you can add a reservation on the same date the previous reservation ends.
