What was done

A function named martianRobot which will receive as input a string containing the following:

  • First line will be the size of the grid (x, y)
  • Every two lines after will be the following:
    • Initial position (x, y)
    • Movements to be executed:
      • L for Left
      • R for right
      • F for forward

Sample Input

5 3
1 1 E
RFRFRFRF
3 2 N
FRRFLLFFRRFLL
0 3 W
LLFFFLFLFL

Sample Output

1 1 E
3 3 N LOST
2 3 S

Created unit test with 100% coverage for the martian robot (excluding user input as per the future work section) and added specific test to try the scenario provided:

should execute the sample test correctly

Future work

  • Read from file
  • Read from user input
  • Improve user input to re-use world instead of creating new one for each new robot created
  • Improve test coverage for user input
