Test the Code (Tests)
This is a follow up to Debug the Code.
Write tests for your ‘Debug the Code’ code for the following cases and save it in a
file called Tests-R.R
. Make corrections/improvements to the ‘Debug the Code’ code
so that all of your tests pass.

In an email accompanying your “updated” code, Dr. Granger indicated that the specifications for the earlength size classes were:
- extralarge: earlength >= 15
- large: 10 <= earlength < 15
- medium: 8 <= earlength < 10
- small: earlength < 8
test_that("get_size_class() works",
- for each case when the numbers are in the range,
- for the edgecases of 8, 10, and 15,
- but the function fails if non-numerical values are input as an argument (e.g., a string from a header row that didn’t get removed).
