1
00:00:01,300 --> 00:00:06,520
All right, now we're really going to cover the remaining tasks for Part five inside game Java, we're

2
00:00:06,520 --> 00:00:11,290
going to create a method called SIMULATE that returns a string and the string it returns is going to

3
00:00:11,290 --> 00:00:13,720
be a simulation from a play that it receives.

4
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:20,550
So first from the play we're going to get the placeholder string placeholder is equal to get placeholder

5
00:00:20,550 --> 00:00:21,120
from the play.

6
00:00:26,510 --> 00:00:32,540
And then we need to get a random team team team from the Hashmat for which we're going to assign this

7
00:00:32,540 --> 00:00:32,850
play.

8
00:00:33,620 --> 00:00:36,140
We'll have to create another function that returns a team.

9
00:00:38,120 --> 00:00:40,490
Public team, let's call it get random team.

10
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:48,510
And our hash map stores, every team has a key.

11
00:00:51,830 --> 00:00:55,550
But from the hash map, we're going to get our collection of keys as a key set.

12
00:00:59,690 --> 00:01:02,190
And now we're going to grab a random key from this key set.

13
00:01:02,630 --> 00:01:09,230
The issue is that indexing sets is kind of annoying, but thankfully, we can call a method called Turei

14
00:01:09,500 --> 00:01:13,790
that returns an array from this set to array returns an array of objects.

15
00:01:13,790 --> 00:01:15,920
It's not specific to the type of object.

16
00:01:15,930 --> 00:01:19,700
So we're just going to have to store our array of teams as an object array.

17
00:01:25,460 --> 00:01:28,610
And now here we want to return a random team from the team's array.

18
00:01:33,990 --> 00:01:37,170
Before we do that, I'll create another function called a random.

19
00:01:43,290 --> 00:01:44,550
It returns an integer.

20
00:01:45,650 --> 00:01:49,220
And accepts a range from which it will get that random number.

21
00:01:51,460 --> 00:01:56,890
Notice that I'm never performing more than one task in a function, every function only does one task,

22
00:01:57,130 --> 00:02:02,230
and this function is going to perform the task of returning a random number between zero and one less.

23
00:02:02,230 --> 00:02:05,590
The range return method, random times range.

24
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:09,070
And we'll have to typecast that value to.

25
00:02:16,220 --> 00:02:20,960
And back here, we'll say teams and grab a random index inside the length of the team's array.

26
00:02:22,810 --> 00:02:28,840
And our function doesn't know what type of object this is, so we'll have to typecast it to team and

27
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:29,500
perfect.

28
00:02:31,450 --> 00:02:35,140
That was a lot of steps for the one piece of logic we have to include right here.

29
00:02:35,560 --> 00:02:39,580
Team team is able to get a random team and that looks really nice.

30
00:02:40,270 --> 00:02:41,790
So we have our placeholder.

31
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:47,620
We have our random team, some in the crowd, and if else, if else statement that compares the placeholder

32
00:02:47,620 --> 00:02:49,360
against three possible cases.

33
00:02:51,630 --> 00:02:53,550
Team get positioned chaser.

34
00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,920
And I hope you can see why I'm not playing the writing chaser, because this is an important value that

35
00:03:04,920 --> 00:03:09,220
dictates how this code runs and a value that isn't supposed to change.

36
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,030
We need to ensure that it doesn't.

37
00:03:11,100 --> 00:03:14,970
And that's why we put a constant instead, it's a lot safer anyways.

38
00:03:14,970 --> 00:03:20,520
If this is a play for chasers called Coffle Score for this particular team, there are should update

39
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:21,040
by 10.

40
00:03:21,690 --> 00:03:23,700
There are three chasers we have to choose from.

41
00:03:23,700 --> 00:03:29,130
So we'll get a random chaser from the team team douget chasers and we'll get a random index from the

42
00:03:29,130 --> 00:03:30,630
length of the chasers array.

43
00:03:47,950 --> 00:03:52,660
And finally, we'll return the value that results from us replacing the placeholder from the simulated

44
00:03:52,660 --> 00:03:52,960
play.

45
00:04:11,810 --> 00:04:13,520
If this is a play for Seeker.

46
00:04:22,089 --> 00:04:24,520
Called Catch Snitch for this particular team.

47
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:33,740
There are scoresheet update by 150 and will return the value that results from us replacing the placeholder

48
00:04:33,740 --> 00:04:35,120
from this simulated play.

49
00:04:46,170 --> 00:04:47,880
If this is a play for keeper.

50
00:04:58,230 --> 00:05:03,120
Then there are no points associated with them, so we're just going to return the simulated plane.

51
00:05:17,340 --> 00:05:18,990
Otherwise, return nothing.

52
00:05:27,280 --> 00:05:31,990
You know what, I want to clean this code up a little, instead of having so many return keywords,

53
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,120
I'm going to set up a variable outside.

54
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:38,170
The scope of the AFL's string value is equal to an empty blank string.

55
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:43,380
I'm going to update the string inside each block.

56
00:06:05,770 --> 00:06:08,080
And I'm going to have one return keyword at the end.

57
00:06:13,100 --> 00:06:14,260
That looks a lot better to me.

58
00:06:15,160 --> 00:06:19,600
That's all four Part five, we're going to test this function in part seven, but in the next video,

59
00:06:19,600 --> 00:06:21,280
we need to apply some quality control.
