A code-kata is a coding exercise that builds muscle memory by a practice of programming to arrive at a known solution.
The essence of the exercise (presentation material and code kata) is to demonstrate the usage patterns for the java API or functionality.
This set of code katas rely on fixing broken tests. The tests may have multiple solutions, the intent is to learn and experiment.
The project contains several JUnit tests that fail.
-
Run the test class(es).
-
One or more tests will fail with the test failure message.
-
Fix the failing tests by using
HINTandTODOcomments. -
Repeat above steps until all tests pass.
-
Check the solutions to see if there are other ways to solve. (Remember, the solution may be less performant/optimal than yours)
-
Rinse and repeat (delete and checkout again, then back to Step 1) to build muscle memory.
