Summary
Our objective for today was to learn how to make a class easy to use. IntegerMatrix turns out to have quite a lot of functionality, and perhaps we can't convincingly say we succeeded in keeping its interface small. But we did make it quite intuitive, so that a user would be able to do a lot of things right the first time even when guessing. Our constructor does a good job of setting up each new matrix based on the supplied information; the basic mathematical operators all seem to do what they should; to_s and inspect make it easy for the user to see what each IntegerMatrix object is made of.
We're in Week 3 now, the home stretch. Tomorrow is to be the first of two “putting it together” sessions; that means that rather than introduce new ...
