Hello,
I have a problem with my code with Junit:
"The method infinityNorm(double[) is undefined for the Type Vektor."
This error pops up for both the euclidian norm and the manhattan norm.

Here is the code:


What is the problem here?

You can't return null for built-in data types. If you change the return type to "Double" it will work but then any caller will have to handle a possible null return.

You code as it is works as far as I can tell. That is, it compiles and I get some output.

You mention jUnit but include no examples of a jUnit test. Perhaps you've forgotten to post some part of your program that is trying to call 'infinityNorm'?

That part of the code is commented out and should be ignored as it is not finished yet.
My problem is with the already written methods.

Well, your error message states that "The method infinityNorm(double[) is undefined for the Type Vektor." . So, if you've commented out this method then you'll get this error -- it's undefined.

Ok let me repeat my initial post:
"This error pops up for both the euclidian norm and the manhattan norm."
Forget the infinityNorm, it doesnt exist right now. I get the same error for the already finished methods.

Let's see your JUnit code that calls these methods.

You're trying to call infinityNorm from somewhere, and it's not anywhere in the code you've presented thus far.

Like I said before: infinityNorm is commented out and is not active as of now because I have not worked on it yet.
Im talking about euclidian and manhattan right now.

Ok, so you have some unit tests that are calling infinityNorm which is a method that doesn't exist because you have it commented out.

If you don't want to run those particular unit tests then you can add the @Ignore annotation to the test methods and jUnit won't run them.

Again: I get the same error for manhattan and euclidian. Do you understand?

I understand perfectly. None of your unit tests will run successfully because you have a compilation error in your test class.

(My previous comment about using @Ignore is nonsense, ignore that)

Yes, Tim does understand. There is no need to repeat yourself. Tim has given you some useful advice; please follow it.

Ok I apologize for the somewhat rash tone of my reply.
My teacher mispelled euclidian and manhattan in the junit tests so I had to correct for that error.
now all tests work perfectly!
Thanks!

I have another question:
the isZeroTest0 returns an error for isZero([]) should be true. I assume it means a completely empty array.
How do I accomplish this in the code?

. . .

Please show us the exact code and the exact error message, but only for the parts of the code you are calling. Maybe your isZero method looks for 0s in an array and an empty array does not contain any 0s.

And … apology accepted

I already solved the isZero problem.
The test checked whether an array such as array{} would return positive, which it should.

I have one last question for the following code:


When I add up two arrays of the same length all is fine.
But when I add up arrays of different lengths, like one array with 2 elements and one array with 3 elements, it cuts off the last element of the logner array. For this I get an error in Junit.
How can I rewrite the method to keep any remaining elements that will not be part of the adding up?

What is wrong with
double sum2 = sum(array1) + sum(array2);

Something which is better implemented in a declarative style with Streams than the old imperative style with a for‑each loop.
Remember that doubles occupying a wide range will undergo overflow or underflow or not have the appropriate precision.
System.out.println(12345678901234567890.1234567890 + 99 == 12345678901234567890.1234567890);
