# Provide some methods for dealing with common tasks regarding
# quality strings.
class Quality < String
  # Returns the mean quality for the record. This will be a good deal
  # faster than getting the average with `qual_scores` and reduce.
  #
  # @example Get mean quality score for a record
  #   Quality.new("!+5?I").mean_qual #=> 20.0
  #
  # @return [Float] Mean quality score for record
  def mean_qual
    (self.sum - (self.length * 33)) / self.length.to_f
  end

  # Returns an array of illumina style quality scores. The quality
  # scores generated will be Phred+33 (i.e., new Illumina).
  #
  # @example Get quality score array of a Quality
  #   Quality.new("!+5?I").qual_scores #=> [0, 10, 20, 30, 40]
  #
  # @return [Array<Fixnum>] the quality scores
  def qual_scores
    self.each_byte.map { |b| b - 33 }
