To fix the syntax error and argument error in the given Ruby code, you can make the following adjustments:
main.rb183 chars11 lines
Here's what has changed:
grains
was changed to Grains
. By convention, class names in Ruby should be written in camel case with the first letter capitalized.square
method was corrected. The =
sign was replaced with def
. Additionally, the indentation and spacing were adjusted for improved readability.ArgumentError
is raised when the input n
is not between 1 and 64. This ensures that only valid inputs are accepted.total
method was corrected to calculate the sum of squares for all positions on the chessboard (from 1 to 64). The sum
method, combined with a range, is used to calculate the total number of grains.Please note that the calculation for the total
method assumes that you want to calculate the total number of grains for all squares on a chessboard using the doubling strategy (starting with 1 grain on the first square). Adjust the calculation inside total
if the intended logic is different.
Now the code should be free of syntax errors and handle invalid input correctly.
