The skeleton code for parts 1-7 are located in the folder code/.

Running Sanity Specs (Tests)

To run the sanity specs/tests, please make sure rspec is installed (it is already installed in the virtual machine, but if you're using an unsanctioned environment, you can run gem install rspec).

The sanity specs only check that the various methods that you need to implement conform to the required interface (i.e., they return the expected objects, etc.) The specs do not do any testing beyond that.

The script ./run_specs.sh can be used to run all specs against all your code.

If you want to run one spec at a time:

• If you have your solution saved to a file located at path/to/solution.rb, and

• the corresponding spec is located at other_path/to/sanity_spec.rb,

  rspec --color path/to/solution.rb other_path/to/sanity_spec.rb

  The output should look something like:
