To get a better sense of how the tdd process works, we're going to code a simple example function. And this function is going to take a string as an argument and return an object that contains a count of all the letters in that string. So for example if we pass at the string cat, it'll return an object that looks like this, c:1, a:1, t:1 because the string cat has one c, one a and one t in it. And likewise if we pass at the string better, B-E-T-T-E-R, it'll return an object that looks like this, b:1, e:2 'cause there's two e's, t:2 'cause there's two t's, and r:1, and so on. Now as a matter of fact these two examples I just gave you would make great test cases to test our function with. So let's see how to do that. Let's open up our letter-count.test file and write…
