Object Relations Code Challenge
Welcome to Silicon Valley! For this assignment, our domain is the startup world! We have three models - Startup
, VentureCapitalist
, and FundingRound
. A Startup
has many VentureCapitalist
s through FundingRound
s.
If you are not sketching out your domain, and thinking about single source of truth, you are doing it wrong :(
Topics
- Classes vs Instances
- Variable Scope ( Class, Instance, Local )
- Object Relationships
- Arrays and Array Methods
- Class Methods
Notes
Your goal is to build out all of the methods listed in the deliverables. Do your best to follow Ruby best practices. For example, use higher-level array methods such as map
, select
, and find
when appropriate in place of each
We've provided you with a console that you can use to test your code. To enter a console session, run ruby tools/console.rb
from the command line. You'll be able to test out the methods that you write here. Take a look at that file to see how you can pre-define variables and create object instances, rather than manually doing it in every single console session.
Remember! This is a code challenge without tests. You cannot run rspec
you cannot run learn
. You'll need to create your own sample instances for testing purposes. Make sure your associations and methods work in the console before submitting.
Deliverables
Basic Class Methods and Properties
Startup
class
Build the following methods on the Startup#name
- returns a string that is the startup's name
Startup#founder
- returns a string that is the founder's name
- Once a startup is created, the founder cannot be changed.
Startup#domain
- returns a string that is the startup's domain
- Once a startup is created, the domain cannot be changed (ie. A developer working with instances of the Startup class cannot directly change the domain)
Startup#pivot
- given a string of a domain and a string of a name, change the domain and name of the startup. This is the only public method through which the domain can be changed.
Startup.all
- should return all of the startup instances
Startup.find_by_founder
- given a string of a founder's name, returns the first startup whose founder's name matches
Startup.domains
- should return an array of all of the different startup domains
VentureCapitalist
class
Build out the following methods on the VentureCapitalist#name
- returns a string that is the venture capitalist's name
VentureCapitalist#total_worth
- returns a number that is the total worth of this investor (e.g., think of it as how much money they have)
VentureCapitalist.all
- returns an array of all venture capitalists
VentureCapitalist.tres_commas_club
- returns an array of all venture capitalists in the Trés Commas club (they have more then 1,000,000,000
total_worth
)
- returns an array of all venture capitalists in the Trés Commas club (they have more then 1,000,000,000
FundingRound
class
Build out the following methods on the FundingRound#startup
- returns the startup object for that given funding round
- Once a funding round is created, I should not be able to change the startup
FundingRound#venture_capitalist
- returns the venture capitalist object for that given funding round
- Once a funding round is created, I should not be able to change the venture capitalist
FundingRound#type
- returns a string that is the type of funding round
- Examples include: Angel, Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A, Series B, Series C, etc.
FundingRound#investment
- returns a number that is the amount invested during this funding round
- This should be a float that is not a negative number.
FundingRound.all
- returns all of the funding rounds
Associations and Aggregate Methods

VentureCapitalist
VentureCapitalist#offer_contract
- given a startup object, type of investment (as a string), and the amount invested (as a float), creates a new funding round and associates it with that startup and venture capitalist.
VentureCapitalist#funding_rounds
- returns an array of all funding rounds for that venture capitalist
VentureCapitalist#portfolio
