Solar System

Congratulations! You're submitting your assignment.

Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
What was the purpose of the initialize method in your class?

To make sure that all instances of the class were imbued with the specified instance variables as soon as they were created.

| Describe an instance variable you used and what you used it for. |

The @year instance variable held the year that a book describing a given planet was published.

| Describe what the difference would be if your SolarSystem used an Array vs a Hash. |

(Does this refer to Wave 1? Because the finished Wave 3 version has classes and arrays but no hashes.) In Wave 2, having a hash allowed us to save specific details about each planet under a system of keys. But we were able to do substantially the same thing using class variables in the final, Wave 3 version.)

| Do you feel like you used consistent formatting throughout your code? |

I certainly tried to do that.

What We're Looking For

Feature	Feedback
Baseline
Readable code with consistent indentation.	x

Created Custom Solar System Class with initialize, add planet & list planets methods, without using puts.	x
Planet Class Created	yes, as SfWorld
Created a collection of Planet objects as an instance variable in SolarSystem.	x
Accessor methods created	x
Method created to return the Planet's attributes and not use puts	x
Created a user interface to interact with the SolarSystem including adding a planet and viewing a planet's details	x
Additional Notes

Great job!

The code looks pretty good and the project functions as we expected :)

The project uses two classes (SfWorld and SolarSystem) and you used them well and made instances of them. With these instances, you defined behaviors and state on them-- great job!

Lastly, the theme of this project was so good :)

This is just a small comment--

when I open this code in Atom on my computer, Atom puts a little squiggly underline underneath this line giving me a warning. (It doesn't affect my code running or anything, just gives me a warning). If you see that squiggly underline on your computer too and it bothers you, it's simply because Atom thinks there shouldn't be a space between def initialize and the ( parenthesis character, and it wants it to look like:

def initialize(name, author, first_book, year, lifeforms)

instead of

def initialize (name, author, first_book, year, lifeforms)

like i said, not a big deal though :P
