Comprehension Questions

Question	Answer
Describe a design decision you had to make when working on this project. What options were you considering? What helped you make your final decision?	A design decision I made was to make Block a subclass of Reservation. I was also considering having Block be its own independent class. I ended up making this decision because it seemed like Reservations and Blocks shared a lot of common attributes and behaviors. Looking back, I wish I had better thought through this process from the beginning and made a superclass for both reservation and block. I ended up running into issues where my current design became overly complicated when attempting to make a reservation within a block.
Describe a concept that you gained more clarity on as you worked on this assignment.	I specifically chose to use a subclass within this project because I wanted to have another chance at using inheritance.
Describe a nominal test that you wrote for this assignment.	A nominal test I wrote as a part of this assignment is a part of the HotelManager spec file: it "returns the correct amount of room ids". This test is nominal because it takes in expected input and tests for expected output.
Describe an edge case test that you wrote for this assignment.	An edge case is in reservation spec: it "raises an error if provided an invalid date range". This tests for if someone enters unexpected input - a start date that is after an end date.
How do you feel you did in writing pseudocode first, then writing the tests and then the code?	I feel really good about the process of pseudocode, then tests and then real code. I find the TDD method really helpful to follow - it helps me stay on track working on one small part and then another.

This else logic will actually still work if the array is empty so you don't need the conditional
