00:00:00,025 --> 00:00:05,099
[SOUND] Now that we know how
to use arrays and hashes,

2
00:00:05,099 --> 00:00:12,180
let's write a simple program that
uses everything we've used so far.

3
00:00:12,180 --> 00:00:15,388
We're going to do this over
a few different videos, so

4
00:00:15,388 --> 00:00:17,919
be sure to follow along using workspaces.

5
00:00:18,980 --> 00:00:23,020
Okay, now that we know how to work with
arrays and hashes, let's go ahead and

6
00:00:23,020 --> 00:00:25,200
write a simple shopping list program.

7
00:00:26,260 --> 00:00:30,310
So I've gone ahead and
launched a new Ruby workspace.

8
00:00:30,310 --> 00:00:33,857
Now, let's go ahead and create a new file.

9
00:00:33,857 --> 00:00:38,470
And we'll call this shopping_list.rb.

10
00:00:38,470 --> 00:00:42,430
Now let's go ahead and
create a shopping list.

11
00:00:42,430 --> 00:00:46,710
We'll create a method that asks for
the name of the list, and then,

12
00:00:46,710 --> 00:00:52,780
we can return a hash of the name and
the items inside of the shopping list.

13
00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:57,780
So we'll call that method, create list.

14
00:01:00,704 --> 00:01:03,774
Now let's go ahead and
ask what the list's name is.

15
00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:13,283
And we will take from standard input,
the name of the shopping list and

16
00:01:13,283 --> 00:01:19,500
remove any external characters from
it that are white space at the end.

17
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:22,707
Now let's go ahead and return a new hash.

18
00:01:26,712 --> 00:01:31,505
We will give the hash a key of name and
a key of items.

19
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:36,400
Which is a new array.

20
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,260
And then, we'll go ahead and
return this hash.

21
00:01:42,100 --> 00:01:46,194
Now that we have a method to create
the list, let's go ahead and

22
00:01:46,194 --> 00:01:48,910
create a method to add
an item to the list.

23
00:02:01,460 --> 00:02:03,610
So now we're going to add a list item, and

24
00:02:03,610 --> 00:02:06,015
we'll get the item name
from standard input.

25
00:02:08,375 --> 00:02:13,820
And then we'll create a new hash,
and we can return that hash.

26
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:17,490
Go ahead and save that.

27
00:02:17,490 --> 00:02:21,410
And now, let's go ahead and ask the user.

28
00:02:21,410 --> 00:02:22,090
Or their list.

29
00:02:23,540 --> 00:02:28,069
So we can say, list and
then an equals sign, and

30
00:02:28,069 --> 00:02:31,587
we'll call the method create list.

31
00:02:34,780 --> 00:02:39,808
Now what that will do is ask the user for
the name of the shopping list,

32
00:02:39,808 --> 00:02:45,365
and return a hash with the key of name and
the key of items, which is an array.

33
00:02:48,287 --> 00:02:53,000
And let's go ahead and
print out list.inspect.

34
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,260
Now let's click down in the console and
run this shopping list program.

35
00:02:58,110 --> 00:03:00,480
The list name is Groceries.

36
00:03:01,790 --> 00:03:05,670
Now we can see we've got this list hash,

37
00:03:05,670 --> 00:03:10,050
with the name of what we input
in an empty array for items.

38
00:03:11,330 --> 00:03:14,850
In the next video,
we'll start adding items to the list.
