Robot Task - Requirements Overview

Grid

• The grid consists of fields arranged in a grid pattern
• Origin point is in the top-left corner
• Both rows (downward) and columns (to the right) are numbered sequentially with integers
• The grid always starts at field (1,1)
• No fields on the grid can have negative coordinates Grid Size
• The grid has a user-specified input value, indicated as e.g. (7,8)
• Validation: If input values for the grid are specified as anything other than 2 positive integers, an ArgumentException must be thrown

Robot Starting Position:

• The robot's starting position is a user-specified input value
• It is specified with 2 coordinates and a direction enum: (N, E, S, W), representing a starting direction.
• E.g. (2, 2, N)
• Validation:
  • If the robot's starting coordinates are specified with anything other than 2 positive integers and an enum being either 'N', 'E', 'S', or 'W', an ArgumentException must be thrown
  • If the user-specified position is outside the grid, an ArgumentException must be thrown

Commands:

• The robot's command is a user-specified input value
• Specified as a string containing the enums: Forward, Backward, Right, Left
• Each enum represents its own movement
• Validation:
  • If the robot's actions contain values other than 'Forward', 'Backward', 'Right', or 'Left', an ArgumentException must be thrown
  • If the robot moves outside the grid during execution of the user's command, an ArgumentException must be thrown

Assumptions:

• The user must always specify values for:
  • Grid
  • Starting position
  • At least one action
