Exercise 2: A New Loyalty Discount Tier — Possible Solution ==================================================================== THE NEW CLASS ------------------------------ class LoyaltyDiscount(DiscountStrategy): def apply(self, total): return total * 0.85 # 15% off Added to the chapter's own final integrated DiscountStrategy hierarchy, alongside NoDiscount and GoldDiscount. RESULTS ------------------------------ NoDiscount unchanged: True GoldDiscount unchanged: True LoyaltyDiscount + StandardShipping checkout total: $39.00 Hand calculation: 40 * 0.85 + 5 = $39.00 Match: True Both pre-existing discount classes are confirmed byte-identical after adding LoyaltyDiscount, and a full checkout using the new tier produces the correct total, matching a hand calculation exactly. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ This reproduces Step 4's own byte-identical-classes finding one more time, now against the chapter's own final, fully integrated system rather than the standalone strategy-hierarchy demonstration earlier in the chapter - confirming the Open/Closed guarantee holds all the way through to the assembled system, not just in the isolated step where it was first established.
