Java conversion to php?

Question

Is it possible to convert this java code snippet to php?

public void testBalanceReturnsToZeroOnVending()
        {
            sodaVendor.insertCoin(50);
            sodaVendor.insertCoin(20);
            sodaVendor.insertCoin(5);
            // The price is right!
            assertEquals("We have entered correct money", 
                SODA_PRICE,
                sodaVendor.getCurrentBalance());
            sodaVendor.dispenseItem();
            assertEquals("After vending, the balance of soda vending machine is zero", 
                0,
                sodaVendor.getCurrentBalance());
        }

is that homework ? yeah that's definitely possible ... but ... — RageZ

Assuming PHPUnit is your unit testing framework:

<?php
require_once 'PHPUnit/Framework.php';
// require the file containing the class that sodaVendor is an instance of

define('SODA_PRICE', 75);

class SodaVendorTest extends PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase {
    private $sodaVendor;

    public function setUp() {
        // set up $this->sodaVendor somehow...
    }

    public function tearDown() {
        $this->sodaVendor = null;
    }

    public function testBalanceReturnsToZeroOnVending() {
        $this->sodaVendor->insertCoin(50);
        $this->sodaVendor->insertCoin(20);
        $this->sodaVendor->insertCoin(5);
        // The price is right!
        $this->assertEquals(SODA_PRICE,
            $this->sodaVendor->getCurrentBalance(),
            "We have entered correct money");
        $this->sodaVendor->dispenseItem();
        $this->assertEquals(0,
            $this->sodaVendor->getCurrentBalance(),
            "After vending, the balance of soda vending machine is zero");
    }
}
?>

This is not valid. . is the concatenation operator in PHP. You need things like $sodaVendor->insertCoin(50);.

@Asaph: I have removed my downvote because you fixed the errors and removed the condescension. But for the record, I don't believe "It's not rocket science" is something appropriate for any question, especially when it's being posed by a relatively new user.

Also just went ahead and upvoted since you've made a good effort to show the OP how something (generally) in Java can be implemented with PHP.

"It's not rocket science" is condescending? Subjective. I beg to differ.

I removed my downvote as well now that the answer has been corrected.

@Itay Moav: That's not generally true. PHP doesn't support threading for example.

Kevin Montrose Over a year ago

@Asaph: Well, you could still pull it off effectively - just emulate co-operative multithreading. Not that I'd recommend it.

@Kevin Montrose: @Itay Moav: Another example of a java program that would not be possible to write in PHP is an Applet.

Itay Moav -Malimovka Over a year ago

@Applet: I believe that with the correct plugin and GTK you actually can do something like an Applet, it is just that no one ever thought of trying it...

yes you can "translate" your Java code to PHP. Just it would have been nice you explain in the question a bit more what you are attending to do.

public function testBalanceReturnsToZeroOnVending()
        {
            $sodaVendor->insertCoin(50);
            $sodaVendor->insertCoin(20);
            $sodaVendor->insertCoin(5);
            // The price is right!

            assert("We have entered correct money", 
               SODA_PRICE ==
                $sodaVendor->getCurrentBalance());
            $sodaVendor->dispenseItem();
            assert("After vending, the balance of soda vending machine is zero", 
                0 == 
                $sodaVendor->getCurrentBalance());
        }

This isn't valid PHP. PHP variables start with $

If you think a question is "nonsense," flag it and be on your way.

@josh: sure Josh ... I will pass next time

RageZ Over a year ago

cleaned away bad comments and the "nonsense" which is right is not nice to the user who asked the question, with my excuses.
