CS 3500 Day 12

Object Oriented Design

Today we're going back to turtles:

Rather than having just calling methods in the controller:

public class SimpleController {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
    TracingTurtleModel m = new SmarterTurtle();
    while (s.hasNext()) {
      String in = s.next();
      switch(in) {
        case "q":
        case "quit":
          return;
        case "show":
          for (Line l : m.getLines()) {
            System.out.println(l);
          }
          break;
        case "move":
          try {
            double d = s.nextDouble();
            m.move(d);
          } catch (InputMismatchException ime) {
            System.out.println("Bad length to move");
          }
          break;
        case "trace":
          try {
            double d = s.nextDouble();
            m.trace(d);
          } catch (InputMismatchException ime) {
            System.out.println("Bad length to trace");
          }
          break;
        case "turn":
          try {
            double d = s.nextDouble();
            m.turn(d);
          } catch (InputMismatchException ime) {
            System.out.println("Bad length to turn");
          }
          break;
        case "square":
          try {
            double d = s.nextDouble();
            m.trace(d);
            m.turn(90);
            m.trace(d);
            m.turn(90);
            m.trace(d);
            m.turn(90);
            m.trace(d);
            m.turn(90);
          } catch (InputMismatchException ime) {
            System.out.println("Bad length to turn");
          }
          break;
        default:
          System.out.println(String.format("Unknown command %s", in));
          break;
      }
    }
  }
}

We can make a class for each command, so that it's easier to call them:

public class CommandController {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner s = new Scanner(System.in);
    TracingTurtleModel m = new SmarterTurtle();
    TracingTurtleCommand cmd = null;
    while (s.hasNext()) {
      String in = s.next();
      try {
        switch (in) {
          case "q":
          case "quit":
            return;
          case "show":
            for (Line l : m.getLines()) {
              System.out.println(l);
            }
            break;
          case "move":
            cmd = new Move(s.nextDouble());
            break;
          case "trace":
            cmd = new Trace(s.nextDouble());
            break;
          case "turn":
            cmd = new Turn(s.nextDouble());
            break;
          case "square":
            cmd = new Square(s.nextDouble());
            break;
          default:
            System.out.println(String.format("Unknown command %s", in));
            cmd = null;
            break;
        }
        if (cmd != null) cmd.go(m);
      } catch (InputMismatchException ime) {
        System.out.println("Bad length to " + in);
      }
    }
  }
}

Now we're talking about inheritance, and scope.

This was a pretty straightforward class talking about the use of many different java keywords like abstract, protected, etc.
