Question
Chapter 8.4, Problem 23STQ
Program Plan Intro
Interface:
Interface is a reference type in Java, which contains a collection of abstract methods. It is very similar to class, but it cannot be instantiated, rather it is implemented by other classes.
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.

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; }}
Do this.
Copy your previous class definition for RectangularSolid from the previous problem, including both methods.
Provide mutators (setters) and accessors (getters) for each of the three parameters. Use the naming convention for these methods that is demonstrated in your textbook (i.e. do not use the property function or decorators).
These methods should allow a program using your code to modify the parameter values after creation and to read individual parameter values.

- Create a TestCard project with a TestCard class and a Card class. Data members for the Card class should be two numeric values representing the suit of the Card and the card's number. The Card class also has a constructor and methods for setting and getting the card information. See UML model. In the TestCard class within main(), deal two cards at a time by constructing two card objects. One card is the user's. The other is the computer's. Show both cards. Add a point to whoever had the higher card. Show who won the trick and the score. Scores don't change if a tie. Keep dealing until user wants to quit or 26 pairs have been dealt. UML for Card class -suit: int the number that corresponds to the suit of the card. 0 Hearts, 1 Diamonds, 2 Clubs, 3 Spades -value: int the value of the card.

You construct a Rectangle object by providing the width and length in that order. If no width and length are provided to the constructor, construct a Rectangle with width 0.0 and length 0.0. We want to be able to get and set both the width and the length independently. We also want to be able to ask for the area of the rectangle and the perimeter of the rectangle. What will the object need to remember? width and length - those are the instance variables. Rectangle class has these constructors : public Rectangle() - Constructs a new rectangle with width and length of 0.0. public Rectangle(double width, double length) - Constructs a new rectangle with the given width and length. Remember that the job of the constructor is to initialize the instance variables. It has these methods. public double getWidth() - Gets the width of this Rectangle public double getLength() - Gets the length of this Rectangle public void…arrow_forwardWrite a Rectangle class to represent rectangles, with two data fields (width, height) and four methods (input data, display data, calculate and return area, calculate and return perimeter).

All coding is done in Java, using IntelliJ Idea.arrow_forwardGiven a class student that represents names and grades of a class: 1. How would we implement the Comparable interface in our class so we can compare the scores of individual students? Write the complete Class Header implementing this interface. 2. Write the complete Method Header for the Student class's compareTo method. You do not need to write the body of the method.arrow_forwardCreate a class Square derived from DrawableShape, as described in theprevious exercise. A Square object should know the length of its sides. Theclass should have an accessor method and a mutator method for this length.It should also have methods for computing the area and perimeter of thesquare. Although characters are taller than they are wide—so the number ofcharacters in the vertical sides will differ from the number in the horizontalsides—you need not worry about this detail when drawing the square.arrow_forward
- Not all dogs like to bark, but some like to make a lot of noise! In this exercise we have a Dog superclass and a LoudDog subclass. You do not need to modify the Dog class. Your task is to write two override methods in the LoudDog class. You will override the speak method to return BARK!. You will then override the toString so that it returns Clover is loud and likes to BARK! where Clover is replaced by the name variable. Create and print at least one Dog and one LoudDog to test. public class DogTester{public static void main(String[] args){// Start here}} public class Dog{private String name;public Dog(String name){this.name = name;}public String getName(){return name;}public String speak(){return "Bark!";}public String toString(){return name + " likes to " + speak();}} public class LoudDog extends Dog{public LoudDog(String name){super(name);}// Override the speak method here//Override the toString here.//Remember, you can access the name using super.getName()}arrow_forwardAssume B is a subclass of A.

- Create an interface Wheel with methods setWheels (int c) and getWheels () and a class Vehicle with abstract methods getColor () and getBrand (). Now, create a concrete class Taxi with additional method setDriver (String name) that inherits both Wheel and Vehicle.

Remember the instance data in the Name class is private to the class and must be accessed through its methods.Add additional instance variables to the PhoneListing class for the phone number. The phone number should be broken down into three parts, area code, city code, and local code.Create all appropriate methods for the new class, including the following three methods: equals(PhoneListing):boolean, an equality of state method that returns true if the objects contain the same name and phone number. compareTo(PhoneListing):int, a comparison method that returns -1 if the calling PhoneListing object should precede the argument PhoneListing object, 1 if the calling PhoneListing object should come after the argument PhoneListing object, and a 0 if they are equal. Use last, first, middle, phone number as the ordering values. example:Adams, Alex, Henry, (609)473-2101 Adams, George, Henry, (509)373-1101…arrow_forward
