Recipe: function stir_ingredients($items)

[vaaaska]

I'm just thinking out loud here but I have to produce some labels for a little holiday project I'm doing and I'm contemplating if there is an easy way for me to mix the recipe itself with programming without making it impossible to understand. I'd certainly need to make the core programming stuff in a lighter gray...hmmm...

Curry Paste...

$ingredients = array("chillies", "lemongrass", "peppercorns", etc...);

function combine_ingredients ($ingredients) {

$mix = "";
$mix = grind_with_mortar_and_pestel($ingredients);
return $mix;
}

Well, yeah, it's silly. This would still need more detail really - like quantities for instance. If anybody wants to posit some random ideas in here I'll listen. 😉

Sounds like an object oriented programming exercise 🙂

// Defines the base class for an ingredient
abstract class CurryPasteIngredient
{
  //
}
// Concrete Ingredient class
class LemonGrass extends CurryPasteIngredient
{
  //
}
// Defines an action base class
abstract class Action
{
  //
}
// Concrete Action
class GrindWithMortarAndPestle extends Action
{
  //
}
