📖 [Morse Code Decoder]

Morse Code Decoder aims to decode messages written in Morse code. With the help of Ruby, we will create methods to decipher individual characters, entire words, and even the entire message hidden in those old bottles. The resulting strings will be presented in uppercase, making it easier to read the messages.

Project Requirements

To successfully decode the Morse code messages, we will implement the following methods:

1. decode_char

  • This method takes a Morse code character as a string parameter.
  • It returns the corresponding uppercase alphabetic character.
  • Example: decode_char(".-") returns "A".

2. decode_word

  • This method takes a Morse code word as a string parameter.
  • It returns the string representation of the word, with each character separated by a single space.
  • Example: decode_word("-- -.--") returns "MY".

3. decode

  • This method takes a Morse code message as a string parameter.
  • It returns the string representation of the entire message, with each word separated by three spaces.
  • Example: decode("-- -.-- -. .- -- .") returns "MY NAME".

💻 Getting Started

To get started with decoding Morse code messages, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

  • Ruby programming language
  • IRB (Interactive Ruby)

Setup

  1. Clone this repository to your local machine: git clone https://github.com/your-username/morse-code-decoder.git

  2. Open your terminal and navigate to the project directory: cd morse-code-decoder

  3. Run IRB to access the Ruby interactive console: irb

  4. Load the Morse code decoder file in IRB require_relative 'morse_code_decoder'

  5. Now you can use the provided methods to decode Morse code messages. For example: decode_char(".-")

Output: "A"

decode_word("-- -.--")

Output: "MY"

decode("-- -.-- -. .- -- .")

Output: "MY NAME"
