Is Enum.reduce the "best fitting Enum function" for total_quantity in boutique-inventory
? #433
Open
Description
Solution Implementation:
def total_quantity(item) do
Map.values(item.quantity_by_size)
|> Enum.sum()
end
I agree that reduce
is a good function/concept to practice with for this solution but "best fitting" seems like a stretch. It took me a long time to understand the concept of reduce
when learning functional programming and this may be a head scratcher for some folks new to Elixir and functional programming togther.
Would it be possible to change that message to say "Use the Enum.reduce function in the total_quantity function to practice."?
This doesn't give folks who can't figure out reduce
right away the feeling like they are doing it "wrong".
