String Calculator Kata (via Roy Osherove)
- 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"
- Start with the simplest test case of an empty string and move to 1 and two numbers
- Remember to solve things as simply as possible so that you force yourself to write tests you did not think about
- Remember to refactor after each passing test
- 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;2should return three where the default delimiter is;.- he 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
