Hi...
As usual, off topic. :)
Say I have 3 methods a, b, c. Over the course of many iterations, I
want to call each method a certain percentage of the time. Say I
have a config file like
method percentage
a 30
b 30
c 40
I'm thinking of writing code that will load up integer ranges like
arange = [1..30]
brange = [31..60]
crange = [61..100]
and then do
many.times do |foo|
num= rand(100)
if num in arange
a
end
if num in brange
b
end
if num in crange
end
end #loop
So two questons:
First, is this is a sane approach? Is there any more elegant way to
call an arbitrary method a certain percentage of the time for a random
number of iterations?
Second, if this is elegant enough, can you suggest a nice way to build
the integer arrays nicely at runtime from the configuration
information? The only algorithms I can think of turn out pretty ugly.
Thanks...
