Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Create a simple class structure using Dependency Injection. Define a class Car that has a dependency on Engine. Illustrate with both Constructor and Setter Injection, and explain when each approach is preferable.
💡 Hint: Use a constructor for things that must exist and setters for those that can wait.
Discuss how Dependency Injection can lead to better unit testing practices. Provide an example scenario where DI improves the testability of a class.
💡 Hint: Think about how you would isolate a class from its dependencies while testing.
