Hi Laurent, Thanks for the feedback regarding namespaces. That's exactly the sort of thing I wasn't sure I was doing correctly.
I currently don't use an IDE that automatically compiles files so wasn't aware of that problem. I prefer the solution that defines a main method. My only question now is, if I don't want to compile the test class, how do I call the main method from the command line?
