Java :: Month Class With Constructors And Getter / Setter Methods To Access Attributes

Fields / Getter And Setter Methods And Constructors

Mar 12, 2015

A blood clinic has hired a team of software developers to build a custom application to track patients. The clinic needs to keep a record of each patient and his or her blood data. Ultimately, they want all of the information stored in a database. As a starting point, the development team leader informs the team that the application has to have a set of core classes that represent the “real-world” entities the program needs to deal with. As a developer on the team, your job is to build a Patient class along with a BloodData class so that each Patient contains a BloodData object. This principle is known as “composition.”

Building the Framework Begin by creating a public Java class named PatientBuilder that contains a main method. Then, in the same file, create a non-public class named Patient and another named BloodType. Save the file as PatientBuilder.java. Note: If this was a real development project, you would put each class into it’s own file and put the files in the same folder. By combining them all into one file, we avoid having to submit three separate files, making it easier to keep all your work in one place.The BloodData Class This class should hold all of the attributes to hold the data the clinic needs for a given patient’s blood. Implement the following capabilities to accomplish this objective:

• Create a field to hold a blood type. The four possible blood types are O, A,B, and AB. For this project, you can simply define the field as a String.
• Create a field to hold the Rh factor. The two possible Rh factors are + and –.For this project, you can simply define the field as a String.
• Create getter and setter methods for both fields.
• Create a default constructor that sets the fields to “O” and “+”
• Create an overloaded constructor that accepts two parameters – one for a proposed blood type, and another for a proposed Rh. The constructor
should call the set methods and pass these parameter variables in to them.The Patient Class This class should hold all of the attributes to hold the data the clinic needs for a given patient’s blood. Implement the following capabilities to accomplish this objective:
• Create a field to hold an ID number along with get and set methods.
• Create a field to hold the patient’s age along with get and set methods.
• Create a field to hold the BloodData for a Patient. When declaring the field, initialize it by instantiating a BloodData object. Create get and set methods.
• Create a default constructor that sets the ID to “0”, age to 0, blood type of the BloodData object to “O”, and Rh value of the BloodData object to “+”.
• Create an overloaded constructor that accepts the following parameters: ID,age, blood type, and Rh. The constructor should call the set methods for the field associated with each parameter.The PatientBuilder Class.This class should contain the main method from which the program runs. In that method, implement the following functionality:• Ask the user for the ID, age, blood type, and Rh factor of a Patient.
• Create a Patient object, passing all of the data obtained from the user into the object.
• Write the code necessary to display the ID, age, blood type, and Rh factor of the Patient by calling the appropriate get methods of the object.

MY CODE ( which does not compile since it is wrong...)

import java.util.Scanner;
public class PatientBuilder
{
public static void main(String[] args){
String patientID;
int patientAge;
String patientRh;
String patientBlood;
