Class Dive

Dive

public class Dive
extends java.lang.Object

An encapsulation of a dive in competitive diving using a 1 meter springboard. Dive objects are immutable. That is, they cannot be modified after they are constructed. Hence, while the Dive class has "getters", it does not have "setters".

Constructor Detail

Dive

public Dive(java.lang.String group,
    int halfSomersaults,
    int halfTwists,
    java.lang.String position,
    boolean flying)

Explicit Value Constructor

Parameters:

group - The group (FORWARD, BACKWARD, REVERSE, or INWARD)

halfSomersaults - The number of half-somersaults (e.g., 7 for a 3 1/2)

halfTwists - The number of half-twists (e.g., 2 for 1 full twist)

position - The position (STRAIGHT, PIKE, TUCK, or FREE)

Method Detail

getCode

public java.lang.String getCode()

Get the 4 or 5 character code associated with this dive. Non-twisting dives have 4-character codes and twisting dives have 5-character codes. The code for a twisting dive consists of a 5 followed by the group, number of half-somersaults, number of half-twists, and position. The code for a non-twisting dive consists of the group, followed by a 1 or 0 (for flying or non-flying), followed by the number of half-somersaults, and position.

Returns:

The 4 or 5 character code

getDifficulty

public double getDifficulty()

Get the FINA degree of difficulty. Note: This method returns -1 if the dive is not possible and 0 if FINA has not calculated a degree of difficulty

Returns:

The degree of difficulty (or 0 or -1)
