Chapter 6.2, Problem 6.8CP
You hear someone make the following comment: “A blueprint is a design for a house. A carpenter can use the blueprint to build the house. If the carpenter wishes, he or she can build several identical houses from the same blueprint.” Think of this as a metaphor for classes and objects. Does the blueprint represent a class, or does it represent an object?

In this exercise, you are going to be working with 4 classes, a Book superclass with TextBook and Novel subclasses, and a BookTester class to run your program. For the Book, TextBook, and Novel class, you will create a constructor and all getters and setters. Be sure to follow standard naming conventions for your getters and setters! Additional information for each class is below.
Book Class
The Book class will have a title and author as instance variables and the constructor should follow this format:
public Book(String title, String author)
TextBook Class
The TextBook class will have a subject and edition as instance variables and the constructor should follow this format:
public TextBook(String title, String author, String subject, String edition)
Novel Class
The Novel class will have a genre and pages as instance variables and the constructor should follow this format:
public Novel(String title, String author, String genre, int pages)
BookTester
In the tester class, you should…

- In this activity, we are going to plan out and write a class definition that stores information for a book. Let's say we want to store the following information about this book: The book's name The book's author(s) (a book can have more than one author) The book's publisher The book's ISBN number The book's price The book's year of publication First, answer the following questions before the design: 1. What is a suitable name for this class? (Pick a name that best describes it).arrow_forwardNow we are going to use the design pattern for collecting objects. We are going to create two classes, a class AmazonOrder that models Amazon orders and a class Item that models items in Amazon orders. An item has a name and a price, and the name is unique. The Item class has a constructor that takes name and price, in that order. The class also has getters and setters for the instance variables. This is the design pattern for managing properties of objects. The setName() method should do nothing if the parameter is the empty string, and the setPrice() method should do nothing if the parameter is not positive. The class also has a toString() method that returns a string representation for the item in the format “Item[Name:iPad,Price:399.99]”. For simplicity, we assume an Amazon order can have at most 5 items, and class AmazonOrder has two instance variables, an array of Item with a length of 5 and an integer numOfItems to keep track of the number of items in the…arrow_forward1arrow_forward
- Object-oriented languages like Java are designed to make it easy for programmers to implement software versions of real-world objects. In learning Java, an important skill to master is the ability to represent an object in code. Objects that we model are described using Java classes, so we have chosen to begin this lab by modeling a very simple, everyday object: a door.Write the code to create a class that models a door object. Don’t worry about the internal details just yet. Just give the class a name and an empty body for the moment. We will add more to the class shortly. When modeling an object as a class, we also need to describe the properties it possesses. An everyday object that we wish to model always has one or more properties that describe it. For instance a door object might have a name like “Front” or “Side” to distinguish it from other doors. Another property that could describe a door is its state: “open” or “closed”. Properties of objects are described in code by using…arrow_forwardIt is a Programming logic and design based questionarrow_forwardHelp, I making a elevator simulator.

VIP: This type of passenger has a request percentage of 10%. VIP passengers are given priority and are more likely to be picked up by express elevators. Freight: This type of passenger has a request percentage of 15%. Freight passengers have large items that need to be transported and are more likely to be picked up by freight elevators.

- Analysis: Q1: There are common attributes and methods between kids and trainers. What is the best choice for designing and writing the codes of these two classes? Explain your answer. Q2: Draw a simple class diagram showing only relationships between the classes. Implementation: After analysing the given requirements, implement the required application: with Object Oriented Programming style following the rules of good programming style (e.g. adding comments, etc.) using only the material covered in M251 (and its prerequisites) Hints: For each class, it is required to implement constructors, setters, getters, toString() method, and any other necessary method If the user tries to do an operation that could violate the state of objects, the operation should be ignored and the application should display an error message (e.g. adding a kid to the same group twice, etc.) Checking equality of any 2 objects should be done via the equals() method There is a class that will do the main job of…arrow_forwardCreate a Right Triangle class that has two sides. Name your class rightTraingle. Code getter and setters for the base and the height. (Remember class variables are private.) The class should include a two-argument constructor that allows the program to set the base and height. The constructor should verify that all the dimensions are greater than 0. before assigning the values to the private data members. If a side is not greater than zero, set the value to -1. The class also should include two value-returning methods. One value-returning method should calculate the area of a triangle, and the other should calculate the perimeter of a triangle. If either side is -1, these functions return a -1. The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is 1/2 * b*h, where b is the base and h is the height. The formula for calculating the perimeter of a triangle is b+h+sqrt (b*b+h*h). Be sure to include a default constructor that initializes the variables of the base, height to -1. To test…arrow_forwardAnswer the following questions based on knowledge of inner class: Please answer according to question please please.arrow_forward
- Prompt We have learned how to use accessor and mutator methods to access private class member data. It is possible to instead make the class members public, which would allow other programs to directly retrieve and modify the class member data without needing to write the accessor and mutator methods. This is usually considered bad practice. Why do you think that is? What do you think the benefits are to writing accessor and mutator methods instead of just leaving the variables public? Below is the definition for a class called Counter. Define a new method for this class called "findDifference". This method should take another Counter object as an argument and return the difference in the counts between the counter being called and the one passed as an argument. The difference should be given as an absolute value (not returned as a negative). See below the class definition for examples of this method being used. public class Counter {private int count;public Counter() {count =…arrow_forwardB elow for each class you find a UML and description of the public interface.

There are multiple ways of implementing all these classes. Feel free to add private properties and methods. For each object, it's mandatory to create a header file (.h), implementation file (.cpp) and a driver. Blank files are included. The header should have the class definition in it. The implementation file should contain the implementations of the methods laid out in the header fine. And finally the Driver should test/demonstrate all the features of the class. It's best to develop the driver as the class is being written. Check each section to see if there are added additional requirements for the driver.
