47	47	The unit to be tested, 'Greeter', is simple for the sake of an example. It has a dependency of type 'NameProvider' into which the mock object can be injected, and its method 'Greet()' adds a "Hello " before the name provided by the 'NameProvider'. The code for 'Greeter.go' is:

88	88	The first four lines of the test are just to create the mock object and inject it into 'greeter'. Next, the mock can be instructed to behave in a specific way appropriate to the test case, i.e. to simply return "john" when "ProvideName()" is called. Note that the test calls the 'NewMockNameProvider()' method directly from the 'mock_nameProvider.go' file.
