Walkthrough

The changes update the course-definition.yml by adding a new extension titled "Inheritance". This extension introduces six stages to handle class inheritance in the Lox interpreter: defining class hierarchies, inheriting methods, overriding methods, validating class hierarchies, supporting the super keyword, and checking for its invalid usages. Additionally, minor formatting improvements have been applied throughout the file.

Changes

File Change Summary
course-definition.yml Added new "Inheritance" extension containing stages: "Class Hierarchy" (mf6), "Inheriting Methods" (ky1), "Overriding Methods" (ka5), "Invalid Class Hierarchies" (ab0), "The 'super' keyword" (qi0), and "Invalid Usages of the 'super' Keyword" (ib9). Minor formatting updates were also applied.

Poem

Hopping through code in fields so green,
I discovered a new inheritance scene.
Classes leap and methods play,
With super guiding the brighter way.
A joyful hop in every line – oh, what a day!

🪧 Tips

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

7121-7131: Stage "Overriding Methods" & Trailing Spaces
The "Overriding Methods" stage is clearly described. However, YAMLlint has flagged trailing spaces on line 7121. Please remove these extra spaces to maintain consistent formatting. For example, you might change:

-    name: "Overriding Methods"␣␣
+    name: "Overriding Methods"

Once that is fixed, the stage description appears to be in line with our guidelines.

113-120: New "Inheritance" Extension Added
The new extension for inheritance is introduced consistently with the other extensions. The section clearly describes its purpose (handling class inheritance, method overriding, and the super keyword) and properly references the relevant chapter of the book.


6912-6948: Stage "Class Hierarchy" Added
The "Class Hierarchy" stage lays out clear instructions for enabling inheritance using the < operator. The description includes a proper book reference and suggests that tests will verify instance printing (e.g. "A instance", "B instance", etc.). Please double-check that the test cases cover both simple and nested inheritance scenarios.


7016-7054: Stage "Inheriting Methods" Added
This stage introduces method inheritance. The description clearly explains that subclasses can inherit methods from their superclass, and the associated book section is correctly referenced. Ensure that the tests validate that inherited methods are correctly available across different inheritance levels.


7259-7273: Stage "Invalid Class Hierarchies" Added
This stage adds validation for improper class inheritance (e.g. a class inheriting from itself or non-class entities). The description is comprehensive and references the correct book section. Please verify that error messages and exit codes are correctly implemented in the interpreter.


7337-7346: Stage "The super Keyword" Added
The new stage to support the super keyword is well-described and correctly references the documentation for calling superclass methods. Ensure that test cases verify that super correctly calls methods from the parent class and that it is bound to the right instance context.


7427-7505: Stage "Invalid Usages of the super Keyword" Added
This stage focuses on validating that super is used only in appropriate contexts. The description is detailed and clearly specifies common misuse scenarios (such as using super outside a subclass or not followed by a dot). Please make sure the interpreter provides clear error messages (with exit code 65) when such invalid usages are encountered.

7121-7126: Stage "ka5" (Overriding Methods): Trailing Whitespace Issue
The “Overriding Methods” stage is well described and explains that subclasses can supply their own implementations of inherited methods. However, YAMLlint has flagged trailing whitespace on line 7121. Please remove these extraneous spaces to keep the file formatting consistent.

-      (trailing spaces at end of line 7121)  
+      (line 7121 cleaned of trailing spaces)

113-120: New Inheritance Extension Added
The new extension “inheritance” is introduced with a clear name and description. The markdown succinctly explains that this extension covers chapter 13 of the book and will add support for class inheritance, method overriding, and the super keyword. The formatting and naming follow the conventions used by the other extensions.


6912-6918: Stage "mf6" (Class Hierarchy) Check
Please verify that the new stage (slug: "mf6" – Class Hierarchy) correctly explains how users can define class hierarchies using the < operator. The description should include sufficient detail with examples and tests to cover the intended behavior as described in chapter 13. Let me know if you need help generating example test cases.


7017-7024: Stage "ky1" (Inheriting Methods) Overview
The “Inheriting Methods” stage appears to provide a clear explanation of subclass method inheritance. Confirm that the test cases referenced will cover the common inheritance scenarios so that methods defined in a superclass are inherited and callable on subclass instances.


7259-7267: Stage "ab0" (Invalid Class Hierarchies) Validation
This stage introduces checks to detect invalid class hierarchies (for example, a class inheriting from itself). The description is thorough and clearly states the objective. Please confirm that the test cases cover the edge cases and that the error messages (and exit codes) are consistent with the rest of the interpreter.


7337-7345: Stage "qi0" (The super keyword) Functionality
The “The super keyword” stage provides a good description of how the interpreter will support calling overridden methods from a superclass. Double‐check that the corresponding tests mirror the examples in the Crafting Interpreters book and that error handling is correctly implemented when the keyword is misused.


7427-7505: Stage "ib9" (Invalid Usages of the super Keyword) Error Handling
This stage adds validation to ensure that the super keyword is used only in the proper contexts. The description is clear about detecting and reporting errors when super is misused (for example, when it appears in a class with no superclass or is used outside a method). Please ensure that the implementation raises a compile‐time error (exit code 65) and that the tests cover all invalid usage cases as described.

- Revised stage names in the course definition to improve clarity and consistency, specifically for stages related to class inheritance and the `super` keyword.
- Adjusted names to remove backticks and ensure proper formatting for better readability.
