Q:

The following Maven project contains a series of yet
unimplemented methods and corresponding tests currently being
excluded by an @Disabled
annotation:
...
@Disabled // Remove me to enable testing your application
@SuppressWarnings("javadoc")
public class ArrayMethodTest {
@Test
public void testFindIndex(){
assertEquals(Arraymethods.findIndex(new int[]{1, 3, -3, 5}, -3), 2);...
Import this project for getting started. The following hints
may help you completing the implementation
- swap
-
This effectively requires extending the concept of
swapping just two integer values within a block
int a = 3, b = 5;
// Other code ...
{// Swap values of a and b
final int tmp = a;
a = b;
b = tmp;
}
- isPalindrome
-
Consider a two step implementation:
-
Normalize a given palindrome candidate by
transforming to lower case and erasing
non-letters:
Hey, Roy! Am I mayor? Yeh! -->
heyroyamimayoryeh
You may search the API of
class Character
assisting you to distinguish letters from
non-letters.
-
Check the remaining string for being a
palindrome.
- containsSameElements
-
You may copy int[] b
array to a “shadow” array and then subsequently
erase all elements of int[] a
from this copy. The method findIndex
is quite helpful.
Consider for example int[] bCopy
= {1, 3, 4, 3, 7} containing 5 elements. Suppose our
array a contains the value 3
which exists at index position 1 in bCopy. We may override the value
index position 1 by the last array value 7 and thereby
keeping track of reducing the number of array elements to 4
like {1, 7, 4, 3}.
Off course the array bCopy cannot shrink. But we may
introduce an integer variable to account for the effective
number of array elements still to be considered. If and only
if all elements from a are
subsequently found within bCopy
the two arrays a and b are equal.
