Implementation

The end result can be the following:

public void receiveCommands(String commands) {
  for (char command : commands.toCharArray()) {

      case 'r':
        turnRight();
        break;

  }
}

Simplicity is the key and refactoring is often a welcome necessity. When refactoring, remember that all specifications must be passing all the time.

Refactor only after all the tests have passed.  Benefits: refactoring is safe. If all the implementation ...
