Dear Developers,
We are a team of researchers from the Hong Kong University of Science
and
Technology (HKUST). Currently, we are studying how crowdsourcing can
help
developers to build a higher quality software.
One of the subjects that we used is Apache Commons Math. From our
experiment, we identified a few areas in a particular file
"TestUtils.java"
that can be converted to a List<Type>. Using List<Type> is more
preferred
as it is much more flexible and easier to maintain.
Could you be more explicit about the issue you have with that class?
The following 2 identified methods are able to convert to a
List<Type>:
1) public static void assertChiSquareAccept(int[] values, double[]
expected, long[] observed, double alpha)
2) public static void assertChiSquareAccept(double[] expected, long[]
observed, double alpha)
Both of the above methods have used String arrays, and can be
converted to
a List<String> instead.
Our references from the Stack Overflow community pointed out that
List<Type> is preferred over a Type array.
The Stack Overflow references to this are at "
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8689246"; and "
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/716597";.
By converting the Type array to a List<Type>, this will make the code
more
flexible and easier to maintain.
It depends on usage.
Those methods are intended for internal purpose (they are defined in
the
"test" sub-directory area of the code repository, whereas the public
functionality is in the "main" sub-directory.
What is your usage?
Regards,
Gilles
