hitCount value is not ncreasing, could not understand the logic

Question about the task

Under discussion

I dont understand, every time doMove(-,-) method is called, my hitCount remains 0. So only hand as body bodypart is called. Though its static, it should retain the last changed value. But in my case every time it's becoming 0. Could you please help with what I am missing here?

1. Familiarize yourself with the code.
2. Accept your fate and keep trying to understand the code.
3. ...
4. Rejoice that you've figured it out.
5. Adapt the code to the following new architecture and add new logic:
5.1. Make the AbstractRobot class abstract. Then move the attack and defend logic from the Robot class to the AbstractRobot class.
5.2. Edit the Robot class to utilize the AbstractRobot class.
5.3. Extend the BodyPart class with a new body part: BodyPart.CHEST.
5.4. Add the new body part to the implementation of the CanAttack and CanDefend interfaces (in the AbstractRobot class).

Requirements:

The AbstractRobot class must be abstract.
The AbstractRobot class must implement the CanAttack and CanDefend interfaces.
The Robot class must inherit the AbstractRobot class.
The logic defining the how a Robot behaves must be in the AbstractRobot class.
The BodyPart class must have and initialize a final static BodyPart variable called CHEST.
The new body part must be added to the logic for the attack and defend methods in the AbstractRobot class.

package com.codegym.task.task13.task1328; /* Robot wars */ public class Solution { public static void main(String[] args) { Robot amigo = new Robot("Amigo"); Robot enemy = new Robot("Enemy"); doMove(amigo, enemy); doMove(enemy, amigo); doMove(amigo, enemy); doMove(enemy, amigo); doMove(amigo, enemy); doMove(enemy, amigo); doMove(amigo, enemy); doMove(enemy, amigo); // doMove(amigo, enemy); } public static void doMove(AbstractRobot robotFirst, AbstractRobot robotSecond) { BodyPart attacked = robotFirst.attack(); BodyPart defended = robotFirst.defend(); System.out.println(String.format("%s attacked %s: its %s was attacked, and its %s was defended", robotFirst.getName(), robotSecond.getName(), attacked, defended)); } }

Two methods increase and reset the hitCount static var, attack and defend. In both you reset the var back to zero when a value of 3 is reached. Consider removing theset statements and recheck if you added an alternative in each method.

Even i too dont understand the meaning of 0 in 3rd and 4th case. in 3rd case 0 was initially added. But on removing this i am getting null, very much absurd behavior.
