Question

The standard algebraic notation for describing positions on a chessboard uses the integer numbers 1-8 to label the rows and the letters a-h to label the columns of the board; see the figure below:

The rows are called the ranks and the columns are called the files. The square with coordinates d4 has a file of d and a rank of 4.

In this question the chess pieces (queen, king, rook, bishop, knight, and pawn) are identified using the following strings:

• "Q"
• "K"
• "R"
• "B"
• "N"
• "P"

Implement the class described by this API. You do not have to include javadoc comments.

1. Start by reading the API to understand what the class does.
2. Decide how many fields you require, what the fields represent, and what their types are. Add them to your class.
3. Implement the methods file, rank, and piece first. The unit tester that is provided relies on these methods.
4. Implement the constructors.
5. Implement the methods.
6. Use the unit tester to help you, but be aware that the tests cover only the simplest of cases. It is possible to receive a failing grade even if your solution passes all of the given tests.
7. You may modify the unit tester as you see fit.

Hints

The hints below may or may not be useful to you depending on the types of fields that you decide to use.

• To get the string representation of any primitive value x simply concatenate the empty string with x; i.e., "" + x
• To convert a string to an integer use the method Integer.valueOf. Documentation can be found here.
