Creating / Using Object Class To Create Another Field In Another Class?

Jun 10, 2014

Design a class named Person and its two subclasses named Student and Employee. Make Faculty and Staff subclasses of Employee. There is also a MyDate class as explained below. A person has a name, address, phone number, and email address. A student has a status (freshman, sophomore, junior, or senior). Define the status as an integer which can have the value 0 (for "Freshman"),

1 (for "Sophomore"),
2 (for "Junior"), and
3 (for "Senior"),

but don't allow the status to be set to any other values. An employee has an office, salary, and dateHired. The dateHired is a MyDate field, which contains the fields: year, month, and day. The MyDate class does not explicitly inherit from any class, and it should have a no-arg constructor that sets the year, month, and day to the current year, month, and day. The MyDate class should also have a three-argument constructor that gets three int arguments for the year, month and day to set the year, month and day.

A faculty member has office hours and a rank. Define the rank as a String (for values like "Professor" or "Instructor"). A staff member has a title, which is also a String. Use data types for the fields as specified, or where one is not specified, use a data type that is appropriate for the particular field. Write a test program called TestEveryone.java that creates a Person, Student, Employee, Faculty, and Staff object, and invoke their toString() method (you don't need to call the objects' toString() method explicitly).

Note: Your MyDate.java class is the object class that your dateHired field is created from in the Employee.java class.

Do not use the Person, Employee or Faculty classes defined on pages 383 and 384 of the book. Create new ones.Here is the code I have so far concerning the employee and MyDate.

public class Employee extends Person {
private String office;
private double salary;
//private MyDate dateHired;
//7 argument constructor for employee
public Employee(String name, String phoneNumber, String email, String address, String office, double salary /*MyDate dateHired*/) {
super(name, phoneNumber, email, address);

[code]....

Creating Object Of Class And Calling Its Method In Different Class

May 20, 2015

In the process of creating a new class, I need to move my main method from the class SaveDate to the class DynamicTest. Below I have listed the code of both classes.The objective is to be able to run my program from the DynamicTest Class. I need understanding the process of moving my main method to a different class and creating an Object of a class and calling its method.
 
public class SaveData { 
  private static final Map<String, Object> myCachedTreeMap = new TreeMap<String, Object>();
   public static final List<String> getLines(final String resourceParam, final Charset charset) throws IOException{
  System.out.println("Please get: "+resourceParam);
  if (myCachedTreeMap.containsKey(resourceParam) ) {
  // Use the cached file, to prevent an additional read.

Accessing Private Field Of Derived Object In Base Class?

Apr 1, 2013

I have this piece of code I wrote a while ago to test something. The issue is accessing a private field of Base class in Base but of a Derived object.

Here is the code:
class Base
{
private int x;
public int getX()

[Code]....

The commented code does not work but casting d to Base does.

Forgot to mention that the compilation error is that x has private access in Base.

Can't Create Object Of PrintStream Class

Dec 11, 2012

I know that System is a final class and it cannot be instantiated, out is a static final variable of type PrintStream in System class and println is a method in PrintStream class.Still I don't understand why we use System.out to call println() method.To my knowledge a method can be called using an object reference, in case of static behaviors we use classname. Then why here we are using System.out.println? Can't we just create an object of PrintStream class and call the println() method as PrintStream class can be instantiated.Are there any ways of calling a method apart from those I know(I have mentioned above what I know)?

Why ACM Isn't Letting To Create Object From Different Class

I'm curious why ACM isn't letting me create an object from a different class, maybe I am missing something?

my main class:

public class MyClass extends GraphicsProgram {
private static final int WINDOW_W = 500;
private static final int WINDOW_H = 500;

I have also noticed when trying to extend 'ConsoleProgram' it does the same thing with line printing (except when using system.out).

Create Method In Main Class And Use It On Object

Feb 26, 2015

I've been writing classes over and over for school. So I create a class outside of my main class. I create a new constructor and then create objects from my main class. I hope that makes sense. So i use methods in that class to work with the object. So I have an object name I've created <dot> method name. So I can create objects and then use methods from the class, but I'm wondering can I create a method in my main class and use it on that object? I don't understand how to do that.

How To Create Object To Be Null If Class Constructor Parameter Is Int

Mar 8, 2015

I have a class of Date with a constructor with 3 parameters in it. Those 3 parameters are int data type just to enter month, year, day.

I have another class called Author which has a constructor of Date diedDate; as a parameter passing to the Author constructor.

I was asked to call the Date parameter is null, call the default constructor but I thought for the Date parameter I could only enter something like 0,0,0 instead of typing in null, null, null because null is for String data type isn't it?

Creating New Constructor In Child Class Which Is Not In Parent Class

Feb 7, 2014

I've a parent class with a argument constructor like below(a sample code)

public class Parent {
Parent(String name) {
System.out.println(name);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
}
}

Also I've child.class which extends Parent.class as shown below,

public class child extends Parent {
child(String name) {
super(name);
}
}

Now, I want create/modify the constructor which is in child, by taking "int i" as an input instead of "String name". How can I do that? Run time I want to execute child constructor not a parent constructor.

Condition is: Without making any changes to the Parent class

Creating New Non-static Inner Class Outside Of Parent Class

Nov 22, 2014

I have an Abstract Class called GameColorEffect which contains a number of non-static Inner Classes that extend their Parent Class, GameColorEffect. I want to be able to create instances of the Inner Classes, however my IDE, eclipse, prompts me with the error:

No enclosing instance of type GameColorEffect is accessible. Must qualify the allocation with an enclosing instance of type GameColorEffect

And eclipse shows me a possible solution which is to turn the Inner Classes to static, this would allow me to create instances, but not really. This is because using methods from the static Inner Classes that change values in the Inner Classes will do this for every instance of the same Inner Class which is literally like a single instance. However, I want these Inner Classes to be individual with their values and still be able to use them outside as instances. I've found out a possible solution, which I'm not sure works like I want it to:

Java Code : GameColorEffect = new GameColorEffect.ExampleEffect(); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

However, this is in-compact because sometimes all I need is to use just a method like:

Java Code : new GameColorEffect.ExampleEffect(intensity).applyEffect() mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

And another solution that I already knew prior was that I could make the Inner Classes proper classes not inside of the GameColorEffect class, but this is also in-compact because I will have to have so many classes for the so many effects that I have.

Create SmartString Class That Implements SmartStringInterface Class

Jun 3, 2014

The assignment is to create a SmartString class that implements a SmartStringInterface class (created by professor) and implements a few methods. We are basically taking a string and then taking various substrings and inserting, deleting them and undoing changes as well. Here are the methods in the interface to use along with the parameters.

public interface SmartStringInterface {
public void insert(int pos, String sstring);
public void delete(int pos, int count);
public void undo();
public String toString();

The Undo is supposed to be able to be called multiple times (to be tested using a driver program that we must create) but the part that's got me is that the changes are only supposed to be stored. Currently, I am storing the "new" string after each change onto a stack, so that undo can just pop off the stack and it will revert to the previous string. Professor said that was wrong, so I don't know how to do it. Here is what I have so far (some of the code we have is using default StackADT stuff from our book, so if you need that I can post as well. You can see in the undo method where I currently save the string. We can use multiple stacks if needed, but the less the better. Must use at least 1. The exception code is already coded for us in another file also. I am only having to code these methods and the driver to test.

import java.util.Arrays;
public class ArrayStack<T> implements StackADT<T>
private final static int DEFAULT_CAPACITY = 100
private int top;
private T[] stack;

Field Size In Array List Class

Jan 29, 2015

I'm just putting together a little 'horse racing' program while I'm learning Java, and I have a class called Race that creates an array list of thorougbred horses called field, and asks the user to enter then names of the each horse in the field, with a maximum of 14 horses. The problem occurs with the current code that I have:

import java.util.*;
public class Race {
RaceHelper helper = new RaceHelper();
ArrayList<thoroughbred> field = new ArrayList<thoroughbred>();
public void setField() { //enter the horses in the race and determine the size of the field

[code]....

the statement of the index position and current size was for me, so I could see what was going on.What I don't understand is the while loop. not that the class doesn't compile and run (you can see that it does), it's the output. Why does the <= sign allow one more entry and increase the size of the field to 15?

Less than or equal to 14 should give a maximum field size of 14, right, With the starting object at index position at zero and going up to 13, for a total size of 14 thoroughbred objects if I just use while (field.size()<14) or a for loop, then the output is fine; it allows a max of 14 entries and prints the results. I thought it had something to do with the size being zero based, but that doesn't seem to matter -- unless it does matter and I'm missing it. why the comparison I'm using produces this output? a field of 14 horses shouldn't matter whether it's zero or 1 based, as long as the size of the field is 14, so why the extra entry with this while condition?

Creating Objects From Class

Aug 17, 2014

So I'm still trying to get to grips with Java, and like to understand exactly why I'm doing something, so that I am not just regurgitating the code, If I want to create an object from class "Apples", I would use the following, right?

Apples MyAppleObject = new Apples();

From what I understand, MyAppleObject is the new object name, new -> creates a new instance of it in memory, and Apples() is the onCreate method that is called

So question 1: (just a quick aside question) Can I create an object without calling Apples()? i.e.

Apples MyAppleObject = new;

Question 2: - PARTLY SOLVED - I discovered that (Button) is a way of typecasting, so I understand that line a little better. What I don't understand is why we don't need to initialize the object with "new"

I've now looked at a bit of android development and xml and those declarations are all together different, and I'm not sure why. I haven't found a single explanation for the difference in format.

Java Code:

Button Add;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
Add = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1); mh_sh_highlight_all('java'); So the Button object is declared above the onCreate method, but initialized afterwards I guess....

But instead of using Button Add = new Button() they use Add = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

Question 3:

then In XML they use the following:

Java Code:

public*static*void*main(String[] args){
*********
********// Creates a DOM object in memory. Now you can access
********// data in the xml file
*********
********Document xmlDoc = getDocument("./src/tvshows5.xml"); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

Once again, why didn't they have to use : Document xmlDoc = new Document()

Declaring Methods For A Class In Its Own Class Whilst Objects Of Class Declared Elsewhere?

Mar 5, 2015

How do you declare methods for a class within the class whilst objects of the class are declared else where?

Say for instance, I have a main class Wall, and another class called Clock, and because they are both GUI based, I want to put a Clock on the Wall, so I have declared an instance object of Clock in the Wall class (Wall extends JFrame, and Clock extends JPanel).

I now want to have methods such as setClock, resetClock in the Clock class, but im having trouble in being able to refer to the Clock object thats been declared in the Wall class.

Is this possible? Or am I trying to do something thats not possible? Or maybe I've missed something really obvious?
