I am writing small pieces of code to make sure I understand Java basics and I have the following.
package teams1;
public abstract class Team1{
private String sport = new String();
public abstract String getSport();
public abstract void setSport();
}
import teams1.*;
[Code] .....
It doesn't compile because sport is private in the super class, but I thought FootballTeam1 would inherit it's own copy of sport because it is extending Team1.
I am new to java i dont understand the difference between the abstract and inheritance i mean we use the abstract class with extends with other class name ,even we do that same in the inheritance pls tell me main difference between abstract and inheritance...
interface: methods - abstract, default, static ONLY(abstract methods have no body, while static and defaults do, right?) fields - public, static, final ONLY abstract class: a normal class, but has at least one abstract method methods - all i.e., static, non-static, abstract (can it have a default method?) fields - all i.e., public, protected, private / final, non-final / static, non-static
I have a working program, except that it does not calculate the credit hours and the financial aid. When I enter an input, it works, until it should show the student name, credit hours and financial aid. the error i get from the command is "Hours invalid for false student". Here is the program i think i might have the problem.
import java.text.DecimalFormat; public abstract class Student { //initialise variables String name; int creditHrs;
I am trying to figure out how I can most easily make it easier to make new types of units in my game. I have buildings and ships, and would like to know how I could make it easy to add new units. I have been recently told about interfaces, and have worked with inheritance a little bit.
What I would like to able to do is have it so that all of the variables and methods common to all ships could be stored in a superclass or interface, and same with the buildings. I would also like to be able to assign behaviours to the buildings and ships, maybe as interfaces, which could contain all of the methods and variables required for the functions of that ship or building.
For example, creating a new type of building that can shoot, build ships, and can regenerate nearby ships. So it would possible inherit all of the variables and methods common to all buildings, such as health, image, x, y, getX(), getY() etc. But it would then also gain the variables and methods essential for its functionality, such as shootRange, shoot(), regenRate, etc.
why don't I define my methods in a class, rather than going a level up and declaring it first in an abstract class/interface? If the point is to have different implementations for different needs, then we have the option to override the methods.
I'm having difficulty understanding this small piece of code:
package food; public abstract class Fruit { private String color; private String tasteType; public void setColor(String color) { this.color = color; } public abstract void setTasteType(String taste); }
The above is an abstract class which describes the basic structure that every fruit should "extend".
The below is a concrete subclass of the Fruit class called Apple.
import food.Fruit; class Apple extends Fruit { public void setTasteType(String taste) { tasteType = taste; } }
Also do note that the two pieces of code are in different packages!
Upon compiling the Apple class I get the following error: Apple.java:4: error: tasteType has private access in Fruit tasteType = taste; ^
What I don't understand is this: I've given a non-abstract implementation to the "setTasteType" method in the Apple class and clearly setTasteType should have the authority to modify the private instance variables of Fruit. But it turns out I'm wrong.
I studied that java does not support multiple inheritance using classes. It is fine practically, but I have still a question in mind:Lets see the below code.
class Test{ ------ ------ }
class MyTest extends Test{ --------- --------- }
Here, as we know that that Object is Super class for every class in java. and I have already extends a Test class in MyTest.My question is: How is it possible to extend features of two class at the same time?
I am new to Java, and last week had an assignment to create a shopping list. I made it so that I have one class use a ProductData class to load an array of objects (description, price, priority). This week I need to take that program and change it so that it includes an Interface and Abstract Class. I need to also split one class up into at least 2 others.
I am having trouble getting my thoughts together and figuring out what to put in the interface and what to put in the abstract class. I'm thinking that it might be best to split up the ProductData class up into 3 different classes: description, price, and priority. Then have an interface with a print method. Each of those 3 classes will implement the interface.
As for the abstract class, have the price and priority extend the abstract class. The abstract class will be at the same level as the interface and contain the set and get methods. Right now they are of 2 different data types: int, double. Should I make both of them Double, and then use a method to change the priority to an int?
Should price and priority inherit from description, or should they all be at the same level? I am thinking that they should be at the same level because they all describe the item in the array.
My most confusing part is that I have no clue at all on how I can load that array when each object is split up in a different class. My professor went over ArayLists last week, and we can now use them if we want, but the assignment doesn't explicitly say that we should change it to an Array List. Where does the constructor for the ProductData() go? Do I split it up into 3 different constructors?
I am stuck. It seems like I have done everything by the book but I keep getting the same error: cannot find symbol. The error is specifically addressing lines 9, 10, and 11 in the Alien class file. All that is supposed to happen is an output of information for the two types of aliens.
Java Code:
import javax.swing.*; public class CreateAliens { public static void main (String[] args) { Martian aMartian = new Martian(); Jupiterian aJupiterian = new Jupiterian(); JOptionPane.showMessageDialog (null, "
I'm learning about inheritance and part of my problem is to create an Order with methods, then an UpdateOrder where the total price is changed by adding four dollars to it, and then a main method displaying a few orders. I've copied all three below in order. My question is when I run the program it will display the totalprice() first for the second order followed by name, number, etc.what you override always displayed first regardless of the order you put them in? (The issue is at line 31 on the third code.)
import javax.swing.JOptionPane; public class Order { //superclass private String customerName; private int customerNumber; protected int quantityOrdered; protected double unitPrice; protected double totalPrice;
If I define a class which contains a few static fields, and then have a few classes who inherit this class, then all these classes would have the static field as well. Now my question is the following: would all those sub classes (and the base class itself) share the same object, or would each class have one object for all it's instances?
I am in an intro programming class and we got assigned a problem for creating a super class with about a dozen sub classes for generating a random word(via WordGetter class) and then comparing that word to a variety of different patterns(like: does the word contain "re"). We were given the super class which looks like this...
public class Pattern { public boolean matches(String text) { return true; } public String toString() { return "(TRUE)";
[code]...
and from this class, we have to write subclasses that override those three methods. I am struggling to understand inheritance and I am not really sure where to even start. Here is the instructions for the first sub class we need to write...
"CONTAINS" SUBCLASS Constructor: The constructor accepts a String named ‘letters’.
Matches: This pattern matches any text that contains at least one occurrence of each ‘letter’. toString: produces the text “(CONTAINS <LETTERS>)” where <LETTERS> is the ‘letters’ string. getLetters(): this method must return letters. equals(Object): careful on this one. Two Contains are equal if they have the same letters (order is not relevant). (Example):
Pattern p = new Contains(“re”); boolean f1 = p.matches(“renew”); // f1 is true boolean f2 = p.matches(“zoo”); // f2 is false String s = p.toString(); // s is “(CONTAINS re)” boolean f3 = p.equals(new Contains(“er”)); // f3 is true.. really..
The first is clear , new Person().printPerson(); displays Person but for the second : new Student().printPerson(); it accesses the Student constructor that points to the Person class => object. It builds the Person instance then goes back to the Student constuctor .Both methods are private and to my knowledge invisible one to the other , except that you cant run the the Person one because it's private so the only one in the Student class is the Student one . Guess it 's incorrect , but why ? (is because private methods cant be overriden and somehow the super class one always has priority ? , even if it's private?)
public class Test { public static void main(String[] args) { new Person().printPerson(); new Student().printPerson();
If i have 2 classes, Top and ClassB which extends Top
public class Top { String variable; public Top(){ setVariable(); } void setVariable(){ variable = "variable is initialized in Main Class";
[code]....
So what is happening when ClassB inherits from Top?I know that the B constructor is calling super, so does that mean its calling setVariable (in Top?) but as its overridden in ClassB, then that is whats being called and setting the String variable?
public abstract class Boat{ private int height; private int length; private int width; private double boatValue; private double chargeRate; private Owner owner; public Owner getOwner() { return owner;
i was leaning inheritance and tried to implement it in Java.This is my base class vehicl.java
public class vehicle{ private int topSpeed; private int cubicCap; private String modelName; private boolean hasAlloy;
[code]...
I also have a derived class called car.java.What i wanted to do in the derived class was that i wanted to override the constructor as well as the getInfo() method from the base class.I wanted to add an additional attribute to the car "numberSeats" and display tat too when the object to car class calls the getInfo() method .It showed an error "identifier required" when i tried to compile car.java program.
import java.util.Scanner; public class car extends vehicle{ //int numberSeats; //System.out.println("Enter the number of Seats"); Scanner numberSeats=new Scanner(System.in); numberSeats=numberSeats.nextInt(); //System.out.println(numberSeats.nextInt());
[code]....
explain the errors that i get when i tried to compile car.java without using super keyword or without defining the constructor from the Car class ?
I know whats the interfaces and abstract class and also know that difference between interface and abstract class,but here my doubt is eventhough abstract class more advantage than the interface,then why should we use interfaces and when?
