Some browser fat fingering brought me to a very different Ranch today. Still, it looks kinda nice too

No need to delete. Just link to the other post you found so others can get there too.

Almost certainly locale related.

No. The following are functionally equivalent:
i = i + 1; i += 1; i++;

If it's something your company needs then I'd suggest going with the phone vendor solution to satisfy the requirement right away, unless of course that option is cost prohibitive. Once the pressure is off then you can have a crack at writing your own if you wish.

I expect VOIP phones still use a central exchange? Do you know the protocols for making and receiving a phone call? Do you know the network setup? I don't know the answers but I'd be asking myself these questions.

This sounds like something your phone provider would be able to give you. Does it not?

Horstmann's "Head first java"

You sure about that? Horstmann did not write Head First Java.

Perhaps show us what your Party.java file looks like, just cut and past the code into the forum post (using code tags of course) as opposed to uploading the file, and we'll see if the problem can be identified.

Thanks and congrats to all the winners.

I'm suggesting you can achieve it with a single iteration of the original string.

Perhaps because you're asking them for "accurate estimates". Think about those words together for a second.

Perhaps also because your team don't understand the problem well enough to form an idea of the amount of work required, even roughly. Consider spending more time fleshing this out.

Consider if you can derive the correct character sequence from the original string without creating any new strings along the way? Some careful char array index and iteration jigging should suffice.

Do you have another service that reads from that database in order to do its job? Does that service provide a response with data who's values are dependant on the database state? If the answer is no, then your database serves no purpose at all, so I'm going to assume the answer is yes and it's just a case of finding it.

Cucumber tests usually have a slightly larger scope when it comes to defining your unit of test. What you describe there would be more like a unit test that you might have written within that module, whereas what you're describing is a behaviour test observed from outside the module.

Consider writing your test to interact with the service only through the API and identify a desired observed behaviour. For example: You make a service call that returns a response that is based on some state value within the service. You then make a service call that alters that state (writes to the database). Then make a second call to the first service and verify that the response has changed according to the change in state. That way you are verifying the behaviour of the service through its published API without having to depend on its implementation details such as the database.

Make sense?
