Week 6 (DRY Refactoring) Assignment

This week we are going to further explore DRY and how to refactor code into clean well named methods. The outcomes should be an easy to read driver("HowDRYIAm.java") that removes unnecessary repetitive code. You should look for patterns that allow you to declare variables as close to where they are being used and dividing code into logical units of responsibility where possible. Responsibility should be limited to a single task. Like constructing an object or even smaller, like preparing part of an object.

I have provided you with a less than optimal driver that utilizes an Address and Dimension class to prepare a Mailing Label object which can print Shipping Labels. Using the Dry Example simplify this driver and make it DRY.

    • run git clone <copied url> (this will create a folder the same name as the repo in the directory you ran this command)
• Create a branch on your fork of the Assignment-6 Repo using the format /<feature_description>
  • From Github Desktop
    • Click the Add a Branch button (It should be the button next to the dropdown that says master)
    • Make sure you create your branch from master
  • From Command Line
    • run git checkout -b <branch_name>
• In Netbeans create a new project and set the Project Directory to the folder that was created when you cloned your fork.
• Write Code!
• Create a commit
