The following is a class definition for a simple Ebook. Two instance variables and one parameterless constructor are provided.
Part 1: Write a second constructor that takes a String array of pages as input and sets the String array instance variable equal to the input. Continue to default the current page number to zero.
Part 2: Write a getter and a setter method for the page number variable. The setter should check to make sure that the input is a valid page number and only update the variable if the new value is valid.
Part 3: Write a getCurrentPage method that returns the String of the current page indexed by current_page.
public class Ebook{ private String[] pages; private int current_page; //constructor public Ebook() { this.pages = {"See Spot.", "See Spot run.", "Run, Spot, run."}; this.current_page = 0; }}

In many card games, cards are either face up or face down. Add a new instance variable named faceup to the Card class to track this attribute of a card. Its default value is False. Then add a turn method to turn the card over. This method resets the faceup variable to its logical negation.
Note: The program should output in the following format:
A new deck, cards face down: Ace of Spades False 2 of Spades False 3 of Spades False ... ... ... Jack of Spades False Queen of Spades False King of Spades False Ace of Diamonds False 2 of Diamonds False 3 of Diamonds False ... ... ... A deck shuffled once, cards face up: 9 of Diamonds True 6 of Clubs True King of Clubs True King of Hearts True 3 of Spades True ...

Novice: How can i access a main class objects from outside the function? / Better Alternative?
If i have 4 Student objects how can i print the information for the specific object given one parameter about the class, like the students Idnumber.
What i came up with was making a checkId void function that takes the user input and runs an if else chain checking if the Id belongs to student 1-4 then printing the details of that classes object with the void function print. ideally i would want the if-else chain in the checkId function to call the print( student1-4) class object but im not sure how to properly do that.
i dont think this is the best way to go about it, if you have any recommendations or alternatives please help me out.

Products that are considered “necessities” are not taxed, whereas products that are considered “luxuries” are. The Product class is abstract, and it has a method called getTotalPrice. Your task is to create two subclasses of Product: NecessaryProduct and LuxuryProduct and implement the getTotalPrice method in each of these classes appropriately. Then modify the driver program to instantiate four products (two necessary and two luxury) and store them in the product array, print out each item in the array, and display the total cost of the items. You should not make any changes at all to Product.java, and you should only add to ShoppingTripStartingCode.java.

This class represents generic shapes and has several methods that you will have to override in the Circle and Rectangle subclasses, whose code skeletons are provided as well. You are required to complete these two classes so that they can correctly describe and calculate their attributes. For the Circle class, create the following: A private double instance variable m radius. A constructor that takes two parameters (in the order of color, radius). It should use the parameter for radius to set the m_radius instance variable and then explicitly call the parent class constructor using the super keyword and pass in the color parameter. A method that overrides the calcArea method of the superclass and calculates the area of the circle. The area of a circle can be calculated as 3.14 x r² (where r is the radius).
