Please help :)

Question about the task

Archived

It seems that I fuflill the conditions, the output is correct. I don't know why this doesn't validate... If someone could point me the right direction so I can continue this big task that would be awsome! Thanks in advance

The cook currently prepares dishes instantaneously. In reality, cooking takes some time.
We need to calculate the time required to prepare the entire order, so we can then select commercials to fill the time.

1. Suppose we know the cooking time for each dish in minutes. We'll hardcode it in the Dish class.
1.1. Change the creation of the enum fields: Fish(25), Steak(30), Soup(15), Juice(5), Water(3);
1.2. Create a private int duration field with a getter.
To create a getter, press Alt+Insert and select Getter. Next, select the field name and click OK (Enter).

2. Add the ability to calculate the time required to prepare the whole order.
Where should you add it???
2.1. If you add it to the Cook class, then the cook will be able to calculate how long it will take to prepare the order.
For other classes to get this information, they will need access the Cook object.
2.2. If you add it to the Order class, then access to the order will always let you find out how long the order will take.
2.3. Choose the right place from either item 2.1 or item 2.2, and add a public int getTotalCookingTime() method, which will calculate the total time required to prepare all the dishes in the order.
2.4. Let's add this information to what our cook outputs to the console. Now let's display a message like this:
Start cooking - Your order: [Soup, Juice, Water] from Tablet{number=5}, cooking time 23 min

Let's make it pretty:
3. Start the application and immediately enter 'exit'. The output isn't very beautiful.
Make it so that if there are no dishes in the order, then it doesn't get sent to the cook. Find this relevant place and implement the logic.
In the Order class, create a public boolean isEmpty() helper method that determines whether there are any dishes in the order.

Requirements:

The cooking time must correspond to the task conditions.
The duration field in the Dish enum must be private and have a public getter.
The Order class must have a public int getTotalCookingTime method that returns the amount of time required to prepare the current order.
In addition to returning the list of dishes in the order, the required cooking time must also be displayed on the screen.
If there are no dishes in the order, it should not be sent to the cook.
The Order class's isEmpty method must return true if the order is empty.

package com.codegym.task.task27.task2712; import com.codegym.task.task27.task2712.kitchen.Cook; import com.codegym.task.task27.task2712.kitchen.Order; import com.codegym.task.task27.task2712.kitchen.Waiter; public class Restaurant { public static void main(String[] args) { Tablet tablet = new Tablet(1); Cook cook = new Cook("Nicolas"); Waiter waiter = new Waiter(); cook.addObserver(waiter); tablet.addObserver(cook); tablet.createOrder(); tablet.createOrder(); tablet.createOrder(); tablet.createOrder(); } }

menuChoice may be null, consider this

You mean if nothing is entered by the user? In that case I thought it was taking care of since in that case I don't send it to the cook. When I run the code and doesn't enter anything, the programme simply asks to add something from the menu o entering "exit". I don't really see the problem :(

If I trie somehow to add an if null statement on menuChoice, IntelliJ says that the condition is always false. I know I'm missing something here but I don't know where

while (menuChoice != null && !menuChoice.equals("exit")){...

And IntelliJ says nothing)

I feel kind of stupid because I know I must be missing something obvious but it still doesn't validate.

solution

Your code:

while (!menuChoice.equals("exit") && menuChoice != null){...

My:

while (menuChoice != null && !menuChoice.equals("exit")){...

Do you see the differences? ) You must check for null before first use!

return dishes.isEmpty() ? "" : "Your order: " + dishes + " of " + tablet; should be return dishes.isEmpty() ? "" : "Your order: " + dishes + " from " + tablet;

Sadly it makes no difference in the validation, same exact 2 errors :/

Have you tried adding the cooking time to the end of order.toString() instead of cook.update()?

Yes I tried that also, it still doesn't validate :/

I wish i could be of more help, I don't see any obvious errors and since I don't have access to my original code that I used to pass this task (I have since replaced computers) I just don't know. Hopefully Roman can give you enough hints to pass verification, he has been helpful to me in the past.

Thanks for your help! I also hope Roman will give me more hints to validate, I don't want to skip a whole big task... Anyway, thanks again for doing your best to help me!
