Explanation of Solution

Given: The better-ticket-machine project.

To find: The steps to use the debugger in the method named insertMoney present in the class TicketMachine and apply test conditions that executes if-statement as well as else-statement.

Solution:

In order to set the breakpoint in the first line of insertMoney method, it is necessary to open the editor of class TicketMachine.

An editor window will appear on screen.

Now, create an object of TicketMachine class and set the cost to 500.

Now, invoke the method named insertMoney and enter the amount as 1000.

When the user clicks ok button, a new debugger window will pop-out on the screen.

Now, click the Step command in the debugger window.

The line of execution has now been changed from the first line to the second line. It has now been entered inside the if-statement.

Again, click the Step command in the debugger window. The value of the variable named balance present in the section of instance variables has now been changed from 0 to 1000 and the line of execution has now been moved to the last line of the insertMoney method...

Predict what you think will happen if you change the test in insertMoney to use the greater-than or equal-to operator: if(amount >= 0) Check your predictions by running some tests. What is the one situation in which it makes a difference to the behavior of the method?
Use the debugger to investigate the clock-display project. Set breakpoints in the ClockDisplay constructor and each of the methods, and then singlestep through them. Does it behave as you expected? Did this give you new insights? If so, what were they?
Check whether or not it is possible to leave out the word public from the outer wrapper of the TicketMachine class.
