As much as you might want to load up your PowerPoint slides with data, the quantity of new information that people can understand is always constrained by the limitations of working memory. As mentioned in 2, you help your audience to understand information better by presenting new information to working memory in groups of three. Your story template helps you to organize your ideas in groups of three in multiple ways. The essence of your story consists of your Call to Action headline and your three Key Point headlines. Each Key Point headline has three supporting headlines, listed in the Explanation column. Each Explanation headline has three supporting headlines as well, listed in the Detail column. It might be challenging to boil down your headlines to groups of three in this structure, but your hard work will pay off: your audience will more easily absorb, remember, and understand your ideas.

The String class offers a plethora of useful methods for managing text. I ll cover several of these in the following Regular Expressions section. However, if you want to see what other methods strings offer, it s easy: just execute "test".methods!

Changing a list is easy. You just use ordinary assignment as explained in the first chapter. However, instead of writing something like x = 2, you use the indexing notation to assign to a specific, existing position, such as x[1] = 2. >>> >>> >>> [1, x = [1, 1, 1] x[1] = 2 x 2, 1]

Although three is a powerful number, you might nd while working in Act II of your story template that you have four points to make in a column. As described earlier in this chapter, if you have fewer points to make in any section than you have cells, you can simply leave the cells blank; if you want to add another cell, you insert one. If you d like to try other versions of story templates with four columns across, or four rows per Act II scene, visit www.beyondbulletpoints.com. The disadvantage of using a template with four levels of information is that the number of cells might signi cantly increase the size and complexity of your presentation. Keep in mind that the more headlines you have, the

In Ruby, regular expressions are implemented in a reasonably standard way, being somewhat aligned with the Perl style. If you re familiar with regular expressions, Ruby s techniques shouldn t seem alien:

"this is a test".sub(/[aeiou]/, '*')

"this is a test".gsub(/[aeiou]/, '*')

5

"THIS IS A TEST".gsub(/[aeiou]/, '*')

Note You cannot assign to a position that doesn t exist; if your list is of length 2, you cannot assign a value to index 100. To do that, you would have to make a list of length 101 (or more). See the section None, Empty Lists, and Initialization, earlier in this chapter.

"THIS IS A TEST".gsub(/[aeiou]/i, '*')

more time you need and the more information people need to process. To avoid long and complicated presentations, try to stick to three points rather than four.

sub performs a single substitution based on a regular expression, whereas gsub performs a global substitution. As in Perl, you use the /i option to make the regular

expression case insensitive. Ruby also makes matching easy, with the match method of String returning a special MatchData array you can query:

The headings of the three columns of Act II are based on the most common categorization of information in a hierarchy. But there are many other ways to look at these columns if one of the alternatives shown in the following list works better for you in your profession, simply type over the existing headings in your story template to replace them with new headings. The most common categories for the three columns are Key Point, Explanation, and Detail:

Deleting elements from a list is easy too; you can simply use the del statement: >>> names = ['Alice', 'Beth', 'Cecil', 'Dee-Dee', 'Earl'] >>> del names[2] >>> names ['Alice', 'Beth', 'Dee-Dee', 'Earl'] Notice how Cecil is completely gone, and the length of the list has shrunk from five to four. The del statement may be used to delete things other than list elements. It can be used with dictionaries (see 4) or even variables. For more information, see 5.

m = "this is a test".match(/\b..\b/) m[0]

m = "this is a test".match(/\b(.)(.)\b/) m[0]

If you re a market researcher, your column headings might be Recommendation, Explanation, and Methodology/Data:

m[1]

m[2]
