Great work on this project, Kelsey! The flavor of this project submission is ideal, honestly. Also, your code is great! The code is logical, readable, and well-organized. You did a lot of really clever things! I have a couple comments that are mostly FYIs, with some minor ideas/suggestions. That being said, the submission looks great; great work! |

THIS IS COOL! And fancy! You are doing a thing which is adding a new method to the String class, which is what the user input it. We will definitely get into these details in a few weeks.
If you were curious about how to do this without working with the String class, I would likely make the methods integer_checker and float_checker not part of String, and define that it takes in a number, and replacing the self with that number, so:
def integer_checker(num)
return num.to_i.to_s == num
endNot a mandatory refactoring, but just wanted to give you this FYI!

Minor suggestion: I tend to really like having my method names read more like verbs. What is this method responsible for? It's used for checking what kind of number it is. There are a lot of different good names for this, but maybe I would name this check_valid_number_type or something like that
| puts "CALCU-BOT CANNOT DIVIDE BY ZERO. ENTER ANOTHER NUMBER." | ||
| second_num = gets.chomp | ||
| end | ||
| end |
| puts "CALCU-BOT HAS CALCULATED THE CALCULATION." | ||

Fantastic solution with using public_send! It ends up being a great solution for this assignment. In future projects and assignments, it'll be really dangerous and weird for us to use public_send, so I'm just calling out right now that I don't expect to use this basically ever again. :P
