Module: Gibbler::Complex

Includes:

Object

Defined in:

lib/gibbler.rb

Overview

Creates a digest based on:

• An Array of instance variable names and values in the format: CLASS:LENGTH:VALUE

  • The gibbler method is called on each element so if it is a Hash or Array etc it will be parsed recursively according to the gibbler method for that class type.

• Digest the Array of digests

• Return the digest for class:length:value where:

  • “class” is equal to the current object class (e.g. FullHouse).

  • “length” is the size of the Array of digests (which should equal the number of instance variables in the object).

  • “value” is the Array of digests joined with a colon (“:”).

This method can be used by any class which stores values in instance variables.
