Write a method that returns the earned points in a single toss of a Darts game.
Darts is a game where players throw darts to a target.
In our particular instance of the game, the target rewards with 4 different amounts of points, depending on where the dart lands.
If the dart lands:
The outer circle has a radius of 10 units (This is equivalent to the total radius for the entire target), the middle circle a radius of 5 units, and the inner circle a radius of 1. They are all centered to the same point (That is, the circles are concentric) defined by the coordinates (0, 0).
Write a method that, given a point in the target (defined by its real
Cartesian coordinates x
and y
), returns the correct amount earned by a dart landing in that point.

For running the tests provided, you will need the Minitest gem. Open a terminal window and run the following command to install minitest:
gem install minitest
If you would like color output, you can require 'minitest/pride'
in
the test file, or note the alternative instruction, below, for running
the test file.
Run the tests from the exercise directory using the following command:
ruby darts_test.rb
To include color from the command line:
ruby -r minitest/pride darts_test.rb
