Now that we know how to use arrays and hashes, we're going to build a small program that makes a grocery list for us. In this video, we'll clean up and put the finishing touches on our grocery list program.
Code Samples
Here is our finished program:
def create_list
print "What is the list name? "
name = gets.chomp
hash = { "name" => name, "items" => Array.new }
return hash
end
def add_list_item
print "What is the item called? "
item_name = gets.chomp
print "How much? "
quantity = gets.chomp.to_i
hash = { "name" => item_name, "quantity" => quantity }
return hash
end
def print_separator(character="-")
puts character * 80
end
def print_list(list)
puts "List: #{list['name']}"
print_separator()
list["items"].each do |item|
puts "\tItem: " + item['name'] + "\t\t\t" +
"Quantity: " + item['quantity'].to_s
end
print_separator()
end
list = create_list()
puts "Great! Add some items to your list."
list['items'].push(add_list_item())
list['items'].push(add_list_item())
list['items'].push(add_list_item())
puts "Here's your list:\n"
print_list(list)
