Subject: Re: [Code] Touch Typing Tutor What do you think of my code?

Hey,

I think your code looks way too much like C. IMO, if you end up using
C-like loop statement such as while or for it most likely means you are
not doing very good Ruby-like coding.

The way I would do your while loop would be something like this:

=====

#!/usr/bin/ruby

class String
  def compare_sum_errors other
    cnt = [self.length, other.length].min

    (0..(cnt-1)).inject(0) do |errors, idx|
      next errors + 1 if self[idx] != other[idx]
      errors
    end + (self.length - other.length).abs
  end
end

str1 = "test origin string"
str2 = "test diff string"

puts str1.compare_sum_errors str2

=====

Hope it helps,
