The following is meant to help get you on your way with testing your solution.

    public static void main(String[] args)

    {

        Scoreboard game = new Scoreboard("Red", "Blue");

        System.out.println(game.getScore());    //"0-0-Red"

        game.recordPlay(1);

        System.out.println(game.getScore());    //"1-0-Red"

        game.recordPlay(0);

        System.out.println(game.getScore());    //"1-0-Blue"

        System.out.println(game.getScore());    //"1-0-Blue"    - Nothing Changed

        game.recordPlay(3);

        System.out.println(game.getScore());    //"1-3-Blue"

        game.recordPlay(1);

        game.recordPlay(0);

        System.out.println(game.getScore());    //"1-4-Red"

        game.recordPlay(0);

        game.recordPlay(4);

        game.recordPlay(0);

        System.out.println(game.getScore());    //"1-8-Red"

        Scoreboard match = new Scoreboard("Lions", "Tigers");

        System.out.println(match.getScore());   //"0-0-Lions"

        System.out.println(game.getScore());    //"1-8-Red"

    }

All you're doing is creating the Scoreboard object as described above.

Think critically about the Object and what data needs to be saved (hint, there's 5 instance variables in this problem)

Pay attention to what is not being said in the question:

• The constructor portion mentions 2 parameters + something representing whose turn it is, but it doesn't mention anything about the 2 scores you need to keep, but they also need to be initialized in the constructor.

• This problem does not ask you to do anything beyond 

Pay attention to the question wording and don't do anything you don't need to do:

• I tell you that every Object should have

  • Instance Variables

  • Constructors

  • Getters

  • Setters

  • toString

  • Optionally - helper functions

• In this problem, it specifically states the Object only has 1 constructor + 2 functions. That means:

  • You don't need getters

  • You don't need setters

  • You don't need the toString

For this problem, don't do more work than you need.

The Scoreboard class can be written in under 40 lines of code.
