Rules

Hi and welcome to team Gilded Rose. As you know, we are a small inn with a prime location in a prominent city ran by a friendly innkeeper named Allison. We also buy and sell only the finest goods. Unfortunately, our goods are constantly degrading in quality as they approach their sell by date. We have a system in place that updates our inventory for us. It was developed by a no-nonsense type named Leeroy, who has moved on to new adventures.

Your task is to add the new feature to our system so that we can begin selling a new category of items.

First, an introduction to our system:

• All items have a SellIn value which denotes the number of days we have to sell the item
• All items have a Quality value which denotes how valuable the item is
• At the end of each day our system lowers both values for every item

Pretty simple, right? Well, this is where it gets interesting:

• Once the sell by date has passed, Quality degrades twice as fast
• The Quality of an item is never negative
• "Aged Brie" actually increases in Quality the older it gets
• The Quality of an item is never more than 50
• "Sulfuras", being a legendary item, never has to be sold or decreases in Quality
• "Backstage passes", like aged brie, increases in Quality as it's SellIn value approaches; Quality increases by 2 when there are 10 days or less and by 3 when there are 5 days or less but Quality drops to 0 after the concert

We have recently signed a supplier of conjured items. This requires an update to our system:

"Conjured" items degrade in Quality twice as fast as normal items.

Just for clarification, an item can never have its Quality increase above 50. However, because "Sulfuras" is a legendary item, its Quality starts at 80 and never changes.

Challenge

1. Refactor the monstrous code in the gildedrose.go class.
2. Add a new item type, "Conjured". The specs for this item are commented out in the gildedrose_test.go file.
