Java Java Objects (Retired) Delivering the MVP Determining if it is Solved

I just don't get this question. Where should I get the code.

I think I don't understand the question in the first place, that is why I can't think of anything. I feel because of my English language that I don't understand it? this is really confusing?. I tried different combinations.

Hi Botan

So in loose pseudocode/english the statement should read:

while remainingTries is greater than 0 and not dunkTank.isDunked

Hope it helps!

Thanks for your answer, with your response I can easily code it in Java, but for some reason I couldn't get the question.

I take it you got it resolved now by your response to Harry's post?

Well, if you mean how I answered , here is my answer :

while (remainingTries > 0 && !dunkTank.isDunked()) { throwBall();

}

I am taking Android Track, I wasn't able to go further because of this question. Your answer helped me to finish this quiz as well.

Hey Botan!

I'll try and rephrase it for you:

We want to make sure throwBall() only runs if the user has tries remaining and the dunk tank hasn't been dunked yet.

You'll need to use a few symbols here to complete it!

Best of luck and if you still don't understand it, give me a shout :)

I was able to figure it out using ">, &&, !" . your explanation was great. Thanks. I solved it.

Well the question is based on the MVP video just before the quiz.

If you would have watch it carefully you will realise there is a remaining time while loop that the instructor explains

Just realized I gave away the code :) .. Steals away the fun in that case.

Hope it explains
