Hey there! Congrats on making it this far on the hiring journey. We are looking for great Ruby developers, and we hope that you're one of them! Please complete this ruby challenge so we can get a better feel for your development style and abilities.
Write a command-line program that prints the number of lines spoken by each character in the Shakespeare play Macbeth.
To start, you'll want to clone and run the setup script for the repo
git clone [email protected]:surecart/ruby-challenge.git
cd analyzing-shakespeare
bin/setup
Sample usage/output (using made-up numbers):
$ ruby macbeth_analyzer.rb
543 Macbeth
345 Banquo
220 Duncan
(etc.)
You can find an XML-encoded version of Macbeth here: http://www.ibiblio.org/xml/examples/shakespeare/macbeth.xml. Your program should download and parse this file at runtime.
Your solution must be tested, preferably via TDD. Running your tests should not download the play from the ibiblio.org server.
Note: some lines are attributed to a speaker called "ALL". Your program should ignore these.
Create a new branch titled solution
and open a PR. If you'd like to add any comments regarding your solution you can do so in the PR. Send us a link to your PR so we can review and collaborate on it.
