Requirement – handling invalid input

Provided that our implementation is basically doing nothing, we are going to focus only on one thing—reading single operands. If the input is a single number (no operators) then it's a valid reverse notation and the value of the number is returned. Anything other than that is considered not a valid RPN for now.

This requirement is translated into these four tests:

public class ReversePolishNotationTest {  private ReversePolishNotation reversePolishNotation =    new ReversePolishNotation();  @Test(expected = NotReversePolishNotationError.class)  public void emptyInputThrowsError() {    reversePolishNotation.compute("");  }  @Test(expected = NotReversePolishNotationError.class) public void notANumberThrowsError() { ...
