Let’s tally up / calculate the standings table for the English Premier League (EPL). Let’s use the football.csv datasets for last year’s 2017/18 and this year’s ongoing 2018/19 season.
The challenge: Code a tallyup method that passes the RubyQuizTest :-).
def tallyup( matches )
# ...
end
Start from scratch or, yes, use any library / gem you can find. From the matches read in from the 2018/19 season dataset and passed along (as an array of array of string values) e.g.:
[["Manchester United FC", "2-1", "Leicester City FC"],
["AFC Bournemouth", "2-0", "Cardiff City FC"],
["Fulham FC", "0-2", "Crystal Palace FC"],
["Huddersfield Town AFC", "0-3", "Chelsea FC"],
["Newcastle United FC", "1-2", "Tottenham Hotspur FC"],
["Watford FC", "2-0", "Brighton & Hove Albion FC"],
["Wolverhampton Wanderers FC", "2-2", "Everton FC"],
["Arsenal FC", "0-2", "Manchester City FC"],
["Liverpool FC", "4-0", "West Ham United FC"],
["Southampton FC", "0-0", "Burnley FC"],
["Cardiff City FC", "0-0", "Newcastle United FC"],
["Chelsea FC", "3-2", "Arsenal FC"],
["Everton FC", "2-1", "Southampton FC"],
["Leicester City FC", "2-0", "Wolverhampton Wanderers FC"],
["Tottenham Hotspur FC", "3-1", "Fulham FC"],
["West Ham United FC", "1-2", "AFC Bournemouth"],
["Brighton & Hove Albion FC", "3-2", "Manchester United FC"],
["Burnley FC", "1-3", "Watford FC"],
["Manchester City FC", "6-1", "Huddersfield Town AFC"],
["Crystal Palace FC", "0-2", "Liverpool FC"],

build the standings table (as an array of array of values) e.g.:
[["Liverpool FC", 17, 14, 3, 0, 37, 7, 45],
["Manchester City FC", 17, 14, 2, 1, 48, 10, 44],

["Manchester United FC", 17, 7, 5, 5, 29, 29, 26],
["Wolverhampton Wanderers FC", 17, 7, 4, 6, 19, 19, 25],
["Everton FC", 17, 6, 6, 5, 24, 22, 24],
["West Ham United FC", 17, 7, 3, 7, 25, 25, 24],
