9. class Sender def initialize(message) @message = message end def mood if @feel_acknowledged "content" end end def describe_day_to(another_person) if another_person.listened_to_day? @feel_acknowledged = true end end end class Recipient end
10. ONE sided
11. irb(main):001:0> puts "I heard you" I heard you => nil
12. irb(main):001:0> puts "I heard you" I heard you => nil Messages
13. irb(main):001:0> puts "I heard you" I heard you => nil ?
14. irb(main):001:0> puts "I heard you" I heard you => nil Interpretation
15. describe Sender do it "is in a content mood when understood" do significant_other = Sender.new "I had a good day" me = Recipient.new significant_other.describe_day_to(me) significant_other.mood.should >= "content" end end
16. class Sender # folded non-refactored code def describe_day_to(another_person) interpretation = another_person.interpret(@said) if satisfied_with_interpretation?(interpretation) @feel_acknowledged = true end end def satisfied_with_interpretation?(interpretation) shared_words = interpretation.split(' ') & @said.split(' ') true if shared_words.size >= 2 end end
17. class Recipient def interpret(sentence) if sentence == "I had a good day" "I'm glad you had a good day" end end end
18. describe Sender do # folded non-refactored code it "is in a content mood when all frustrations are understood" do complaints = ["Heroku was down", "There was ruby drama on twitter", "My presentation isn't done yet"] me = Sender.new complaints significant_other = Recipient.new me.describe_day_to(significant_other) me.mood.should >= "content" end end
19. class Sender # folded non-refactored code def describe_day_to(another_person) @messages.each do |message| interpretation = another_person.interpret(message) if satisfied_with_interpretation?(interpretation, message) @feel_acknowledged = true else @feel_acknowledged = false end end end def satisfied_with_interpretation?(interpretation, message) shared_words = interpretation.split(' ') & message.split(' ') true if shared_words.size >= 1 end end
20. class Recipient def interpret(sentence) if sentence == "I had a good day" "I'm glad you had a good day" elsif sentence == "Heroku was down" "What is Heroku?" elsif sentence == "There was ruby drama on twitter" "There is drama with ruby?
