Did you get the tests passing and the code clean? If you want to, these are some additional things you could try:
- Remove as much duplication as you possibly can.
- Optimize for readability, even if it means introducing duplication.
- If you've removed all the duplication, do you have a lot of conditionals? Try replacing the conditionals with polymorphism, if it applies in this language. How readable is it?
Then please share your thoughts in a comment on the submission. Did this experiment make the code better? Worse? Did you learn anything from it?
