Keep storage private. Find the first entry whose horizontal coordinate is not smaller than the new one. Equality there means that the coordinate is already present; otherwise insertion at that position preserves strict ordering. Reject nonfinite coordinates, since a
NaN would make the required comparisons meaningless. This is an explicit finite-coordinate contract for a display application.[ref]Java 8 Double API documentation. isFinite(double)
The Observer pattern uses a small callback Java interface. With
import java.util.*;, the full implementation is:interface GraphObserver {
void changed(DataList source);
}
final class DataList implements Iterable<Point> {
private final List<Point> points;
private final List<GraphObserver> observers;
public DataList() {
points = new ArrayList<Point>();
observers = new ArrayList<GraphObserver>();
}
public void addObserver(GraphObserver observer) {
if (observer == null)
throw new IllegalArgumentException("null observer");
for (GraphObserver old : observers)
if (old == observer) return;
observers.add(observer);
}
public void removeObserver(GraphObserver observer) {
for (int i = 0; i < observers.size(); ++i) {
if (observers.get(i) == observer) {
observers.remove(i);
return;
}
}
}
public void addPoint(double x, double y) throws Exception {
if (!Double.isFinite(x) || !Double.isFinite(y))
throw new Exception("nonfinite coordinate");
int i = 0;
while (i < points.size() && points.get(i).getX() < x) ++i;
if (i < points.size() && points.get(i).getX() == x)
throw new Exception("duplicate x coordinate");
points.add(i, new Point(x, y));
List<GraphObserver> current =
new ArrayList<GraphObserver>(observers);
for (GraphObserver observer : current) observer.changed(this);
}
public Iterator<Point> iterator() {
List<Point> snapshot = new ArrayList<Point>(points.size());
for (Point p : points) snapshot.add(p.clone());
return Collections.unmodifiableList(snapshot).iterator();
}
}This is a sequential implementation. Callback object methods are required to return normally and not reenter
addPoint; they may change their registrations. Copying the registration list means such changes affect future notifications, while each observer present at the start of this notification gets exactly one call. Repeated registration of the same observer is ignored by object identity. Both signed zeros compare equal and therefore count as the same horizontal coordinate.For correctness, all old entries before position
i have smaller horizontal coordinates. If an entry at i exists after the duplicate check, it has a strictly larger coordinate. Inserting between these two groups preserves the representation invariant; rejecting a duplicate has no state effect. No client receives a stored mutable Point. ThusChoose the following explicit policy: an edit of pounds recomputes euros; an edit of euros recomputes pounds; an edit of the rate keeps pounds fixed and recomputes euros. Amounts may be any finite signed values, while a rate must be finite and strictly positive. Invalid text, non-finite numbers and overflowing conversions leave the last accepted state intact and restore its display.The numeric state has the invariant and ; euros are derived instead of being stored independently. A proposal is validated before either stored value changes. The update flag prevents a synchronous programmatic display update from recursively committing another edit. Currency amounts display two decimal places, while the rate retains its parsed precision; display rounding is not repeatedly fed back into the numeric model.

}Locale.ROOT ensures that formatted decimal points match the input parser.The code handles the
EditDone events used by the paper rather than trying to parse every intermediate keystroke. It uses Scala 2 style and Java 8-or-newer numeric helpers. No Scala compiler or Swing runtime execution was available in the checking environment; the state transitions were checked independently, and the API usage was compared with the supplied contract and official Scala/Swing documentation.[ref]Java 8 Double API documentation. isFinite(double), parseDouble(String) and toString(double)
