Episode 1 Assignments

I even threw in an extra.

I think this could be confusing to later-you in a couple of months... There''s an attr_reader :suit in this class. You're not writing over that variable (since it was a reader), but you could be if that gets changed later on.

Possibly something like this would be more explicit

def to_s
  "#{suit_abbreviation}-#{value}"
end

def suit_abbreviation
  case suit
  when :diamonds then "D"
  when :hearts then "H"
  when :spaids then "S"
  when :clubs then "C" 
  end
end

Of course, you could even do this if you wanted

def to_s
  "#{suit.to_s[0].upcase}-{value}"
end

[jwo]

well done! I left some stylistic suggestions... let me know what you think!

OK, so this failed the build with TravisCI (https://travis-ci.org/RubyoffRails/Episode1-Summer2012/builds/3411231)

Why do you think it's failing?

[Meshed]

Because I already had a class property named suit and it was trying to
execute the '-' operator on the two variables instead of being a variable
name.

Yep yep --- I wish we could have variable names with dashes in Ruby, but sadly negative.

I had forgotten the tests were in the same file for that one.
