Functional Programming in Java, Second Edition: Functional Programming in Java, Second Edition: JUnit code improvements for Chapter 11, pages 189 ff “Refactoring to Rework the Logic”

The usual changes but:

• The “FirstRepeatedLetter.findIn()” has been improved out of the box. In particular returning ‘\0’ is too C-like and smells like “primitive obsession”. We have null, we should use it. What if the input contains \0 as the matching character?
• A slightly better code (IMHO) is in FirstRepeatedLetterBetter.findIn()
• The final refactored code returns not null, but Optional<Character>, which is cleaner.
• Again, for testing we use a common interface or a wrapper class to avoid having to duplicate testing code.
