[Tutor] Roulette Unit Test Questions

[Ben Ganzfried]

Hey,

I'm having a lot of confusion getting the unit test working for one of my
classes for the Roulette bot I'm working on and would greatly appreciate any
advice or help.

Here is the description of what I am trying to do:
http://homepage.mac.com/s_lott/books/oodesign/build-python/html/roulette/bin.html
.  Basically, I have my Bin class working and I am trying to get my BinTest
class to do the following: Perform a unit test of the
Bin<http://homepage.mac.com/s_lott/books/oodesign/build-python/html/roulette/bin.html#Bin>class.
The unit test should create several instances of
Outcome<http://homepage.mac.com/s_lott/books/oodesign/build-python/html/roulette/outcome.html#Outcome>,
two instances of
Bin<http://homepage.mac.com/s_lott/books/oodesign/build-python/html/roulette/bin.html#Bin>and
establish that
Bin<http://homepage.mac.com/s_lott/books/oodesign/build-python/html/roulette/bin.html#Bin>s
can be constructed from the
Outcome<http://homepage.mac.com/s_lott/books/oodesign/build-python/html/roulette/outcome.html#Outcome>
s.

While I would greatly appreciate any pointers in fixing my mistakes, I would
also greatly appreciate any pointers telling me what exactly it is that I do
not yet understand.

Thanks a bunch, my code is below.

Here is my Bin class:

from Outcome import *
class Bin:

    def __init__(self, *outcomes):
        self.outcomes = outcomes

    def add(self, outcome):
        self.outcomes += outcome
        return self.outcomes
    def __str__(self):
        return (', '.join( map(str,self.outcomes)))



Here is the code for my BinTest class:

import Outcome
import Bin

class BinTest:
    def __init__(self):
        pass

    def create_Outcome(outcome):
        o1 = Outcome(outcome)

#creates two instances of Bin
    def create_Bin():
        b1 = Bin(("Red", 5), ("Black", 17),("Red", 5))
        b2 = Bin(("00-0-1-2-3"), ("00"))
#establishes that Bin can be constructed from Outcome
    def construct_Bin_from_Outcome():
        b3 = Bin(o2)
        b4 = Bin(o4)
        b5 = Bin(o1)

def main():
    bin_test1 = BinTest()
    bin_test1.create_Outcome()
    #create_Outcome("Red", 5)
    #create_Outcome("Black", 17)
    #create_Outcome("Red", 5)
    #create_Outcome("00-0-1-2-3")
    #create_Outcome("00")

    print("o2 is ", o2)
    print("o3 is ", o3)
    print("o4 is ", o4)
    print("o5 is ", o5)
    print("b1 is ", b1)
    print("b2 is ", b2)
    print("b3 is ", b3)
    print("b4 is ", b4)
    print("b5 is ", b5)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()
