Chapter 13.6, Problem 13.6.1CP
Program Plan Intro
Interface:
Interface is a reference type in Java, which contains a collection of abstract methods.
An interface needs to the follow certain conditions such as:
- One cannot instantiate an interface.
- Interfaces do not contain any constructors.
- All methods present in the interface are abstracts.
- An interface does not contain any instance field.
- An interface cannot be extended by a class.
Comparable Interface:
- A comparable interface is a generic interface that defines the compareTo() method that is used for comparing objects.
- Using comparable interface, one can choose the properties of the objects, rather than the reference location of the objects.
Example:
//java langauage package for comaprable interface
package java.lang
//comparable interface definition
public interface Comparable <E>
{
//use of compareTo to compare objects
public integer compareTo(E o);
}
Explanation:
The compareTo() method determines the order of this object with the specified object “o” and returns a negative integer, zero or positive integer, if this object is less than, equal to or greater than object “o”.

In this assignment, you are implementing a class from a model shown here.
PlayingCard
suit char
value int
+ PlayingCard (s:char, v:int):
+ getSuit(): char
+ getValue(): int
+ setSuit (s:char):void
+ setValue(v:int):void
+ toString(): String
+isMatch (p:PlayingCard): boolean
PlayingCard ADT
1) The constructor takes 2 char values and
initializes the value and suit of the PlayingCard.
2) Accessor functions for the suit and value (getters)
3) Mutator functions for the suit and value (setters)
4) A toString method that displays the PlayingCard
in the format (value, suit). For example, a 10 of
hearts would display as (10,H). Face cards should
display K, Q, J, or A, for the values 13, 12, 11, 14,
respectively.
5) An isMatch method that takes a PlayingCard p as an
argument and returns true if p's suit or value match
that of the calling object
After writing the class, test each function in a main method before proceeding to the next
steps.
Once your class is fully tested, write a driver method…
Sally and Harry implement two different compareTo methods for a classthey are working on together. Sally’s compareTo method returns −1, 0, or +1,depending on the relationship between two objects. Harry’s compareTo methodreturns −6, 0, or +3. Which method is suitable?
Complete method __init__ in the following class. (It's only missing an assignment to a radius instance variable.)
