Understanding the process

Understanding the approach behind the implementation

FIRST TASK

My mindset going into this was to write very detailed test cases to match the requirements. Then also implementing guards to ensure edge cases are sorted. Abstracting some of the existing logic and also using includes to avoid matching specifics. I tested for regression and correctness. The test cases all passed, and the performance of the code was even notably better.

SECOND TASK

For this I tried to ensure I would be able to collect user's input from the console by asking two questions. And after getting users input, I initialize the telesoftas class, and called the execute function. I created an instance of an array with the length of the user's second input (positive_instance). I also used axios to make http requests with the intention of looping through each one of them. Then I tried ensure they were run in parallel by using

await Promise.all()

which takes an array of promises and returns a resolved array. For the positive responses, I wrote into the log.txt file using the Node fs module. I kept count of all positive responses which I used as the foundation for creating a simple recursion to execute the business logic again, where I triggered the function till there were no more positive responses. After this I reduced the instance_amount by 1 and updated the dummy shop items. I repeated this process again till instance_amount was 0 (Zero) and the process was completed.

When the process was completed, I logged the below prompt to the user for better user experience . And then I end the process.
