Movie Store – Part 2

Goal: Quality control the Movie class.

Unchecked exceptions

An unchecked exception crashes the app as a result of badly written code.

You should throw an:

• IllegalArgumentException when the caller passes faulty arguments into a method/constructor.

• IllegalStateException when the caller invokes a method at a bad time (object not in a valid state).

Throwing an unchecked exception forces the caller to improve their code.

Task 1 – Movie Constructor

In the Movie constructor, throw an IllegalArgumentException if the:

• name is null or blank.

• format doesn't equal DVD OR Blue-Ray (ignore letter case).

• rating is less than 0 or higher than 10.

Task 2 – setName

Inside setName, throw an IllegalArgumentException if the caller passes a name that is blank or null.

Task 3 – setFormat

Inside setFormat, throw an IllegalArgumentException if:

• the caller passes a format that is blank or null.

• the format doesn't equal DVD or Blue-Ray (ignore letter case).

Task 4 – setRating

Inside setRating, throw an IllegalArgumentException if the rating is less than 0 or higher than 10.

That's all!

You added checkpoints to the Movie class. Each checkpoint forbids the caller from misusing the methods/constructors.
