In the previous video, we ran our test to make sure that they all failed. 0:00 This is centrally checks that they're testing what we expect them to test. 0:03 With that out of the way, we can move on to making our test pass. 0:07 Before we do that we should pause to notice, that before we've even written any 0:11 code in the path class our self we already have the test. 0:15 We'll need to test that it works by writing code that uses our class to method 0:19 first, we've given more thought to how it should be implemented. 0:23 And now, we're ready to actually implement it. 0:27 So, let's go into the path class again. 0:30 And the IsOnPath method here. 0:33 We'll get rid of the throw in exception. 0:35 And now, let's implement this method. 0:38 So is on path will return true if the map location passed in, 0:40 is inside of this path locations array. 0:45 So we can use the array classes index of method to determine that. 0:49 So we'll return array.index of with the path locations array and 0:53 we'll search for the mapLocation passed in. 1:00 And if that returns something that's greater than or equal to zero, 1:06 then we've found the map location in the path. 1:11 So it turns out that IsOnPath is a fairly simple method to implement. 1:15 Let make sure that our implementation works by running the tests that we've 1:19 already written. 1:23 So we're going to test Explorer and just run those tests again. 1:24 So map location is not on path passes. 1:31 But map location is on path fails and 1:35 it fails because is on path returned false when we expected it to return true. 1:39 Let's take a look at our implementation again I can't see anything wrong here. 1:48 So let's take another look at the test. 1:53 I think I see what's happening. 1:57 So MapLocation is a class. 2:00 The indexOf method calls the equals method on items in 2:02 the array to determine that the object passed in equals anything in the array. 2:06 But the equals method by default 2:12 only determines if two objects are the same object. 2:14 In our case, our tests aren't passing in the MapLocation object that's 2:17 stored in the path. 2:22 We're passing in a brand new map location object here. 2:23 It just happens to have the same coordinates as one that's 2:27 already on the path. 2:30 So we need to fix this somehow. 2:31 There are a number of ways that we can fix this. 2:33 We could change the way the is on path method is implemented so 2:36 that it loops through each map location on the path and compares the x and 2:39 y coordinates instead of just the objects. 2:43 Or we could override the equals method in the map location or 2:45 in its parent point class. 2:49 So that it returns true if x and y coordinates match. 2:51 Let's go with the second option and 2:55 overwrite the equals method of the point class. 2:57 So map location will inherit this new equals method. 3:00 We'll use test driven development to code the equals method, so I'll go in 3:04 to the point test class, and I'll write some test for the equals method first. 3:09 So here's our test for the equals method. 3:20 Notice that I also added some test for, get hash code, 3:23 because whenever we override equals, we should also override get hash code. 3:27 Let's take a look at these real quick. 3:34 So I've got a test to make sure that null is not equal to a point. 3:36 I've got test for when objects are equal and I've got test for 3:40 when objects are not equal. 3:44 For get hash code I've got a test for 3:46 similar points that should have different hash codes. 3:48 Another one for similar points that should have different hash codes. 3:52 And one for points that should have the same hash code. 3:55 With these tests in place, I can write the code for equals and get hash code. 4:00 So here's the methods for equals and get hash code. 4:05 Now we can run the test again to verify the equals and 4:08 get hash code are implemented correctly. 4:11 So I'll go in to point tests and run these tests. 4:14 Okay, it looks like those all passed. 4:29 Let's go ahead and run all the tests in our project. 4:31 Looks like everything passed, including our two path test methods. 4:44 Overriding the equals method is a change that could've had repercussions 4:49 over the entire program. 4:53 However, we can make changes like this confidently because we 4:55 already have test to check to make sure that everything else still works. 4:58 All the tests we've written so far can be run again. 5:02 This is called regression testing and it's one of the many wonderful 5:05 things about unit testing and test driven development. 5:09 With proper test driven development, we never have to wonder 5:12 if making changes to the code will break some other part of the program. 5:15 So now that our test pass, 5:19 we can move on to the next stage of test driven development, refactor. 5:21
