Test Writing: Comparable Cat
Created By: Geoffrey Challen
/ Version: 2020.10.0
Create a class called Cat
that implements the Comparable
interface.
Cat
should provide a public constructor that takes a single double
argument that sets that cat's age.
You should assert that the provided age is not negative.
You should order cats based on their age.
Specifically, compareTo
should return:
- -1 if this cat is younger than the passed cat
- 0 if this cat is the same age as the passed cat, or if the passed value is not a
Cat
- 1 if this cat is older than the passed cat
As a reminder, the Comparable
interface comprises a single method: int compareTo(Object other)
.
Test Design Challenge
You're challenge is to write tests for this problem described above.
- Provide a public class named TestCat with a single non-private class method named test that accepts no arguments and does not return a value.
- If the implementation of the class described above is incorrect, your test method should throw an exception.
- If it is correct, do not throw an exception.
- You may want to use Java's assert method
