Hi,

Thanks for the detailed question.

I think your reasoning is valid - it's difficult to come up with many sensible partitions, based on the general principles we've looked at in class. A constructor with a more complex behaviour (e.g. exceptions being thrown) would therefore probably have been a better choice. But I don't want to make the assessment any harder at this stage, so I instead propose to make the question simpler - just one partition is needed, and 2 test cases. (If there's one partition, it follows there must be at least 2 test cases.)

I think with that amendment, question 8 becomes much easier, and question 7 should be relatively straightforward (but does require you to take care in explaining what your reasoning and assumptions are). Do you consider those changes would make the questions fairly straightforward? If so, I'll amend them in the spec.

Cheers

Arran
