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\0as 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.
