This is a sample Laravel application that is meant to be used for a coding exercise. There are two steps to this exercise:

1. Implement a small refactor
2. Implement a slightly larger refactor

Be prepared to discuss the decision-making that went into each step, and why you chose to implement both in the same way or in two different ways (your choice).

Please clone this repository and implement step one (below). Generate a patch file of your changes (using git diff) and save that patch as step-1.patch. Then implement step two (below) and create a second patch file (step-2.patch). Send these two files to us as your completed exercise.

Each team has its own code style and preferences that inform how best to approach a given task. For example, some Laravel applications rely heavily on events and listeners, or others favor action objects.

In general, InterNACHI sticks to standard Laravel and RESTful conventions as much as possible. We avoid events/observers, and rely on controllers and form requests where appropriate. We use types to our advantage, but not when they make code worse to work with. You won’t find a private or final keyword anywhere in our code.

First, please update the code to support rides by taxi, at a rate of $18.25 per passenger. Start with RidesController and make any adjustments as needed. Don’t worry about functionality that does not already exist, but ensure that the new code works in the same way as the existing code does.

Next, update the code to support rides by:

• Bus: $3.25/passenger
• Taxi: $18.25/passenger
• Ride Share: $19.00/passenger
• Limo: $30.00/passenger
• Shuttle: $10.00/passenger
• Boat: $50.00/passenger
• Helicopter: $500.00/passenger

Again, add as many files as you see fit, and change the RideCalculator API in any way you like.
