Challenge

Medium

Add the REPORT command. Keep every command from the previous steps working exactly as before.

  • REPORT: reply books: 3, borrowed: 1, then one line per member in alphabetical order: ada: Dune, Emma with the titles in borrowing order, or bo: none.

The supplied code passes every input line to library.handle(line) and prints each returned reply on its own line. Member names are single lower-case words, book ids are whole numbers, and the input holds only the commands described so far. Any other command replies unknown command.

Your code goes in book.rb, member.rb and library.rb. main.rb holds the supplied input/output code and cannot be edited.

Try it yourself

require_relative 'book'
require_relative 'member'
require_relative 'library'

# Supplied input/output code: keep it as it is
input = []
while (line = gets)
  input << line.chomp
end
library = Library.new
input.each do |line|
  library.handle(line).each { |reply| puts reply }
end
