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; }}
Create a new class called Dog that is derived from the Pet class given in Listing 6.1 of Chapter 6. The new class has the additional attributes of breed (type String) and boosterShot (type boolean), which is true if the pet has had its booster shot and false if not. Give your classes a reasonable complement of constructors and accessor methods. Write a driver program to test all your methods, then write a program that reads in five pets of type Dog and displays the name and breed of all dogs that are over two years old and have not had their booster shots.
Take the tax program from the last homework assignment and implement it using classes and objects instead.
To do so, create a class definition for a class called Customer with attributes income and tax. It should also have a set method for income, and a calcTax() method to assign tax and return it. As a reminder, the tax is calculated as follows:
Income
Tax Due
$0 - $50,000
5%
$50,000-$100,000
$2,500 + 10% of (income > $50,000)
> $100,000
$7,500 + 15% of (income > $100,000)
Create a Customer object in main, have the user enter the income and assign this to the income variable of the Customer object, and then call the calcTax() method for the Customer object and print the tax due.

- Create a base class called Insect. All insects belong to an Order [i.e. “Hemiptera” (ants), “Siphonaptera” (fleas), “Termitoidae” (termites), “Gryllidae” (crickets), etc.] and have a size that is measured in millimeters (use a double data type). Provide a default constructor that initializes the size to zero and outputs the message “Invoking the default Insect constructor” and another constructor that allows the Order and size to be set by the client. This other constructor should also output the message “Invoking the 2-argument Insect constructor.” Also create a destructor for this class that outputs the message “Invoking the default Insect destructor.” Your Insect class should have a function called Eat that cannot be implemented. That is, it should be declared as a purely virtual function. Your class should also have Get and Set methods to allow the order and size to be accessed.arrow_forwardYou are asked to write a discount system for a beauty saloon, which provides services and sells beauty products. It offers 3 types of memberships: Premium, Gold, and Silver. Premium, gold and silver members receive a discount of 20%, 15%, and 10%, respectively, for all services provided. Customers without membership receive no discount. All members receives a flat 10% discount on products purchased (this might change in the future). Your system shall consist of three classes: Customer, DiscountRate and Visit, as shown in the class diagram. It shall compute the total bill if a customer purchases $x of products and $y of services, for a visit. Also, write a test program VisitDriver (are not to be graded and optional) to exercise all the classes.

The constructor should initialize the name to "None" and all other instance attributes to 0.0 by default. If the constructor is called with a food name, grams of fat, grams of carbohydrates, and grams of protein, the constructor should assign each instance attribute with the appropriate parameter value. The given program accepts as input a food item name, fat, carbs, and protein and the number of servings. The program creates a food item using the constructor parameters' default values and a food item using the input values. The program outputs the nutritional information and calories per serving for both food items. Ex: If the input is: M&M's 10.0 34.0 2.0 1.0 where M&M's is the food name, 10.0 is the grams of fat, 34.0 is the grams of carbohydrates, 2.0 is the grams of protein, and 1.0 is the number of servings, the output is: Nutritional information per serving of None:…arrow_forward

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_forwardIn the board game Scrabble, each tile contains a letter, which is used to spell words in rows and columns, and a score, which is used to determine the value of words. The point of this exercise is to practice the mechanical part of creating a new class definition: Write a definition for a class named Tile that represents Scrabble tiles. The instance variables should be a character named "letter" and an integer named "value". Write a constructor that takes parameters named letter and value, and initializes the instance variables. Create getters for both of the attributes. (No setters, so that a Tile is immutable.) Implement the .toString() and .equals methods for a Tile. Your completed Tile class should work with this Main program (Links to an external site.) so that it produces sample output like shown at the end of the program. You can Fork the program to make your own version in Replit, where you can add your Tile.java, or you can copy the program to your own Java development…arrow_forward

Define getter and setter for all the fields. In the setter method, if age is less than 0, print that Age is less than zero. Similarly, if marks is less than zero or greater than 100, print in correct marks and don’t assign marks to member variable. In the Test class, create student’s object and assign the marks and age to appropriate values. Try assigning incorrect values to check if getter and setter methods work as expected.arrow_forward
- Write a program that accepts two numbers. Use Scanner class to get the user input. Create 4 classes, the first one is the Main Class that has the main method, the other three classes are Su m, Subtract and Multiply. These three classes should have their constructors which has a parameter of type int. Create a method for each class that returns the result of the computation of two numbers. In the main method, after accepting the user input, it should call the three methods from the three classes and display its result.arrow_forward16. Create a class SubstitutionCipher that implements the interface MessageEncoder, as described in the previous exercise. The constructor should have one parameter called shift. Define the method encode so that each letter is shifted by the value in shift. For example, if shift is 3, a will be replaced by d, b will be replaced by e, c will be replaced by f, and so on. (Hint: You may wish to define a private method that shifts a single character.)arrow_forwardDesign a class called "Person" with attributes for name, age, and gender.
