This repository is a "homework assignment" for a Java Pig Latin translator application. The application reads some text from the console, and prints it back translated.
./gradlew clean build
./gradlew run --console=plain
It is maybe a bit overcomplicated in what it does, but I personally like it because:
- Additional changes can be "plugged in" by providing additional visitors.
- SRP: every visitor deals with only one specific change to the string.
- It's subjectively easier to work with. For example, each visitor can be debugged individually.
- And all the logic in one single method would be shorter, but possibly harder to maintain and understand.
- Each visitor could implement some method to determine if it's applicable for the current word. Something like
boolean isApplicable(String word). This could be used to just filter out unapplicable visitors, and this would decouple a bit more the conversion logic from the "check" logic.
