- How many default constructors can a class have? a. A class cannot have a default constructor. b. only one c. as many as it needs d. one or more, but fewer than threearrow_forward1. Create a properly encapsulated class named Person that has the following: A String instance variable called name. A constructor that takes a String parameter and sets the instance variable. A properly named getter for the instance variable. A correctly overrided equals method which returns true if the name instance variable of the parameter and the reference variable calling the method are equal. (Do not forget the null and class type checks!) Compile your Person class. 2. Create a properly encapsulated class named Employee that inherits from Person and has the following: ● ● ● A String instance variable called office (e.g. "LWH 2222"). A String instance variable called hourlywage (e.g. "$45.15"). A constructor that takes three Strings as parameters for name, office, and hourlyWage and sets the instance variables of both the parent class and the Employee class. An overridden toString method that returns the concatenation of name and hourlyWage instance variables (separated by a…arrow_forwarda.

- Complete the code for the following program. You are provided with an abstract class called abst. Create a class that will be a child of abst and it will be called usesAbst. Your program will have an int variable called value, and all the appropriate methods, as well 2 constructors. The first constructor will simply set the variable value to 0. The second constructor will set the variable value to equal a passed in parameter. You do not have to comment your code. public abstract class abst{ public abst () { } //Outputs to the screen the message Hello public abstract void sayHello (); //returns the stored int value public abstract int getValue (); //sets the int value to x public abstract void setValue (int x); //Outputs to the screen the message Another method public void output () { System.out.println("Another method"); public String tostring () { return "This is an abstract class"; }arrow_forwardWrite a Rectangle class that has the following fields: Length (L): a double Width (W): a double The class should have the following functions: Constructor: accepts the length (L) and the width (W) of a rectangle as arguments. Constructor: does not take any parameters and initializes the length(L) and width(W) to zero. A function called getArea which returns the area of the rectangle. A function called getPerimeter which returns the perimeter of the rectangle. {note: The area of a rectangle = L*W, and its perimeter = 2*(L+W) } Then, write a program to ask the user to enter the length and width of a rectangle, and then use the above class to calculate and print the area and perimeter of the rectangle.arrow_forwardBuild a class named car. This class is defined as follows: It has the fields: Car ID, Car model , Car make, Car color, Car year. Build a constructor that accepts the five parameters (Car ID, Car model , Car make,Car color, Car year). Override the method toString() to return the string representation of Car ID, Carmodel , Car make, Car color, Car year.arrow_forward
- 2019 AP® COMPUTER SCIENCE A FREE-RESPONSE QUESTIONS 2. This question involves the implementation of a fitness tracking system that is represented by the StepTracker class. A StepTracker object is created with a parameter that defines the minimum number of steps that must be taken for a day to be considered active. The StepTracker class provides a constructor and the following methods. addDailySteps, which accumulates information about steps, in readings taken once per day activeDays, which returns the number of active days averageSteps, which returns the average number of steps per day, calculated by dividing the total number of steps taken by the number of days tracked The following table contains a sample code execution sequence and the corresponding results. Statements and Expressions Value Returned Comment (blank if no value) StepTracker tr StepTracker(10000); Days with at least 10,000 steps are considered active. Assume that the parameter is positive. new tr.activeDays () ; No…arrow_forwardDesign a class called Date that has integer data members to store month , day, and year. The class should have two constructors; a default constructor that accepts no parameters, and a three-parameter constructor that allows the date to be set by the programmer. If the user creates a Date object without passing any arguments, or if any of the values passed are invalid, the default values of 1, 1, 2001 (i.e., January 1, 2001) should be used. The class should have three (3) member functions to print the date in the following formats: 3/15/16 March 15, 2016 15 March 2016 Demonstrate the class by writing a program that uses it. Be sure your program only accepts reasonable values for month and day. The month should be between 1 and 12. The day should be between 1 and the number of days in the selected month. I expect to see all uses of the constructors that you made, including the error checking. I also expect to see all uses of the 3 output functions in your program. You are responsible…arrow_forwardThis is the question - Create a class named Rock that acts as a superclass for rock samples collected and catalogued by a natural history museum. The Rock class contains the following fields: sampleNumber - of type int description - A description of the type of rock (of type String) weight - The weight of the rock in grams (of type double) Include a constructor that accepts parameters for the sample number and weight. The Rock constructor sets the description value to "Unclassified". Include get methods for each field. Create three child classes named IgneousRock, SedimentaryRock, and MetamorphicRock. The constructors for these classes require parameters for the sample number and weight. Search the Internet for a brief description of each rock type and assign it to the description field using a method named setDescription inside of the constructor. I am only missing two checks and they seem to be with the rock, here is my code then I will copy one check - import java.util.*;…arrow_forward

It should have parameters for each of the attributes and set their values. Additionally, include getters and setters for each of the attributes. Add a driver, name it Purchases, and create 2 Clothing objects. Finally, print out some information about both objects (i.e., print the information from some or all of the getters). For example, if you created a Clothing object whose color was blue, whose display name was work trousers, for a price of 27.99, you could use the getters to print something like this:These work trousers are blue and cost $27.99.Don't hardcode the print statement for full credit, you must use the gettersarrow_forwardDesign a LandTract class that has two fields (i.e. instance variables): one for the tract’s length(a double), and one for the width (a double). The class should have: a constructor that accepts arguments for the two fields a method that returns the tract’s area(i.e. length * width) an equals method that accepts a LandTract object as an argument. If the argument object holds the same data (i.e. length and width) as the calling object, this method should return true. Otherwise, it should return false. a toString method (that returns a String representation of the tract’s length, width, and area). Demonstrate the class in a program by creating an array of three LandTract objects initialized with user input. Then, print the info of the LandTract objects stored in the array by invoking the toString method (implicitly or explicity). Also, use the equals method to compare at least two LandTract objects and print wether they are of equal size or not. Sample Output:…arrow_forward
