Hello,

I try to solve the kindergarten challenge in c#. I see that there are 3 seperate functions given: Garden, GetPlants and DefaultGarden.

I think GetPlants must give me the answer to this problem.
But what schould the other two do exactly ?

Since this is a question spoecific to the C# version of the exercise (canonical data only knows about the property plants), I'll move you over there.

[NobbZ]

Let me chime in with possible solutions to this problem:

• Remove all methods that are not part of the canonical data
• Put documentational comments to the method declarations in the stub
• extend the README of the exercise to explain the extended requirements

All very good points! I think we can solve this by better conforming to the canonical data, which should be done by creating a test generator for it: #411.

[NobbZ]

Perhaps try to explain here for now to make @rwobben able to continue with the exercise?

[ErikSchierboom]

@NobbZ I'll do that tomorrow!

@NobbZ @rwobben The Garden.DefaultGarden method is static factory method that returns a new Garden instance with default child names. The Garden constructor allows you to specify the child names. Lastly the GetPlants method is an instance method of the Garden class, and returns the plants for the child name passed as its argument.

I'll be working on creating an updated version of the exercise to conform to the canonical data.
