Besides, how would we test our private methods if we couldn't break the
rules. :)

Re: Order of precedence

wow, while I've been using irb for some things, I am now a true believer.

I have been struggling to understand a calculation in some code .
Checking the calc in my head.

It made me forget an important Ruby and probably all programming languages rule.

Here is the code:

left = 22
write = left/10  # I'm was thinking should return 2.2, but no it
returns just 2 (no modulus)
left = left - write*10 # based on the wrong head calculation above it
was not allowing me to
                            # what this value truly is.

Well, lesson learned.

Re: [QUIZ] C-Style Ints (#85) - not a spoiler, a test harness

Given the number of edge conditions for this quiz it seemed like a good
place for a test harness.  Here is the irb session in the quiz translated to
a test harness.  It is my first use of the test framework so hopefully I
haven't made any horrible errors.  Just put this in the file quiz85.rb and
then use "ruby quiz85.rb" to test for correctness (it works better from the
command line than from irb - I don't know why but someone here does).  Have
fun!

# test harness for ruby quiz 85
# see it at:
# http://www.rubyquiz.com/quiz85.html

require 'test/unit'
require 'UnsignedFixedWidthInt.rb'
require 'SignedFixedWidthInt.rb'

class TestUnsignedFixedWidthInt < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def test_quiz_example_unsigned
    n = UnsignedFixedWidthInt.new(0xFF, 8)
    assert_equal( n, 255 )
    n += 2
    assert_equal( n, 1 )
    n = n << 1
    assert_equal( n, 2 )
    n = n >> 1
    assert_equal( n, 1 )
    assert_equal( ~n, 254 )
    n += 12
    assert_equal( n, 13 )
    n = n & 0x0E

Keep in mind that Array#- does setlike operations:

[:h] * 1000 - [:h] #=> []

So the number of h's above Just Doesn't Matter.

Ruby 1.9 doesn't radically change the model, e.g.
