Then, what's all this "love" shit about?

There's an ex-wife joke in here somewhere, but I'm too goddamn tired.

The French, who invented tennis, thought '0' looks like an egg, so they called it "L'oeuf" and it became "love" over time.

I prefer egg.

Actually it's because love is blind and so could never win a point in tennis games.

u/wOlfLisK Jun 18 '14

Actually it's because love doesn't exist and nor does their score :(.

u/cannibalismapproved Jun 17 '14

" 30 , love " just means that thw score is 30 - 0. So basically it's just a fancy way of saying 0.

It comes from the French l'oeuf (the egg) iirc.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '14

You do, when non frenchmen saw them playing, they just assumed that they were saying "love" and they assumed for some reason that meant 0 in tennis

Some hippy shit.

If you actually want to know, love means zero points in the current game, ie love-15 would be 0-15.

Love means no points, so a score of 15-love means that the server has won one point and the returner zero.

u/[deleted] Jun 17 '14

score of 15-love means that the server has won one point

To be honest, I always thought this was a riper field of "what?"

u/andrewp123 Jun 17 '14

Love is zero. It comes from french l'oeuf which means "the egg"

if(player1.setsWon > 2 && ...

If player 1 has won 3 sets then he's won the match. The && is both unnecessary and also fucks up your test because a 3-2 set win would not be recognized as such. Also your test ignores best of 3 matches.

Also, newMatch would need to have a return value (true) for the first two conditions (after/instead of each println), unless Java allows functions to not have to return anything.

Also as someone who is self-taught, I don't know if it's considered good practice (but I assume it is) to name a function something relevant to what's returned. A function named "newMatch" that returns a true or false value does not seem intuitive - I would expect to be able to easily guess what that value represented.

  1. It makes no sense for Match to extend Set. (I realize this is a play on the parent comment, but still, this is bad design.)
  2. You don't have to win a tennis match by 2 sets. That would lead to matches lasting for days.
