Allow different containers for gradeschool
In grade school the container is chosen to be map<int, vector<string>>
a better choice would be std::set<string>
or std::multiset<string>
instead of vector
, because the list of students needs to stay sorted.
I see two ways to fix this:
- Change the tests to expect a std::set or std::mutliset
- Change the tests accept any type of container, as long as it compiles. We can do this using the std::result_of trait.
The second approach gives a student more room to play with things, while it can make it harder to understand what fails to compile/what the tests actually check. It will also require a better testing framework, as we would want to test a few examples.
This might be true also for other exercises.
