String Calculator Kata 01.07.2013
Create a simple String calculator with a method int Add(string numbers)
The method can take 0, 1 or 2 numbers, and will return their sum (for an empty string it will return 0) for example “” or “1” or “1,2”
-
Allow the Add method to handle an unknown amount of numbers
-
Allow the Add method to handle new lines between numbers (instead of commas).
-
The following input is ok: “1\n2,3” (will equal 6)
-
The following input is NOT ok: “1,\n” (not need to prove it - just clarifying)
-
Support different delimiters
-
To change a delimiter, the beginning of the string will contain a separate line that looks like this: “//[delimiter]\n[numbers…]” for example “//;\n1;2” should return three where the default delimiter is ‘;’.
-
The first line is optional. all existing scenarios should still be supported
-
Calling Add with a negative number will throw an exception “negatives not allowed” - and the negative that was passed. If there are multiple negatives, show all of them in the exception message
Stop here if you are a beginner. Continue if you can finish the steps so far in less than 30 minutes.
-
Numbers bigger than 1000 should be ignored, so adding 2 + 1001 = 2
-
Delimiters can be of any length with the following format: “//[delimiter]\n” for example: “//[]\n12***3” should return 6
-
Allow multiple delimiters like this: “//[delim1][delim2]\n” for example “//[][%]\n12%3” should return 6.
-
Make sure you can also handle multiple delimiters with length longer than one char
