Description
This link of Chris Powell shows, how a method can be documented similar to javadoc (alternatively, evaluate, what rdoc can do for us).
At least for new methods, I should follow his design rules and document the method similar to his example:
# This is an example method commented the way I like.
# It sums the three arguments and returns that value.
#
# Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed
# do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
# Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco
# laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
#
# * *Args* :
# - +apples+ -> the number of apples
# - +oranges+ -> the number of oranges
# - +pears+ -> the number of pears
# * *Returns* :
# - the total number of fruit as an integer
# * *Raises* :
# - +ArgumentError+ -> if any value is nil or negative
#
def sum_fruit(apples, oranges, pears)
raise ArgumentError, "No value can be absent" unless (apples.present? && oranges.present? && pears.present?)
raise ArgumentError, "All values must be positive" unless (apples >= 0 && oranges >= 0 && pears >= 0)
return apples+oranges+pears
end
