Chapter 6, Problem 10E
In the previous chapter, Self-Test Question 16 described a class Person to represent a person. The class has instance variables for a person’s name, which is a string, and an integer age. These variables are name and age, respectively.
- a. Write a default constructor for Person that sets name to the string “No name yet” and age to zero.
- b. Write a second constructor for Person that sets name to a given string and age to a given age.
- c. Write a static method createAdult for Person that returns a special instance of this class. The instance represents a generic adult and has the name “An adult” and the age 21.

Imagine a publishing company that markets its works. Create a class publication that stores the title (a string), author (string), pages (int), pulicationDate (string) and price (type float) of a publication. There should be two constructor i.e. default and parameterized. The default Constructor should initialize the data members to 0 or 0.0 or “” if integers, floating point or string respectively. The parameterized constructor should assign user defined values to the data members. The default constructor should be inline while the parameterized constructor should not be inline. There should be an input/get function to input the values to the data members and a Print() to display the contents of the class variables/datamembers.
Create two objects of the class named book, and tape. The book should be created with default constructor, while tape with parameterized constructor. Call input/get for book object only. Then call Print() for both the objects to display the contents. Mention…
Hi can you assist me on the problem below for a class and a test class that conforms to the following specifications: 1. The name of the class is RightTriangle 2. The class has member variables base and height 3. The class has a constructor that initializes base and height 4. The class has accessors and mutators for base and height 5. The class has a toString method that produces String representation of a RightTriangle like the following example for a triangle with base 12 and height 10. Base : 12 Height 10 6. The class has a method called findArea to compute the area of the right triangle. Here is a suggested implementation. public double findArea() { return 0.5* this.base*this.height; } 7. The class using proper naming conventions
Write a test class called RightTriangleTest that conforms to the following: 1. Create an object with base = 10 and height = 20, for example myTriangle. 2. To print the toString for myTriangle. 3. To print the area of myTriangle. System.out.println(“The…

B: Create a class called Employee that includes five pieces of information as: yearly salary for them.arrow_forwardDefine a class named Employee. This class should extend the Person class from the previous question. The class should have a constructor, which takes the name, age, employer (String) and salary (int) as parameters (in that order). The first two parameters should be passed to the constructor of the superclass and the value of the last two parameters should be stored in instance variables. The class should define the methods, getSalary which returns the salary of the employee and getEmployer which returns the name of the employer. Any methods from the previous question that need to be overridden should be overridden! Use super and instanceof as appropriate. I.e., for the following methods you should be able to call the method in the superclass for specific situations (e.g. the compareTo method in the superclass can be called if you receive anything other than an Employee, and this also holds for the equals method). The toString method only needs to append details and as such can also…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 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.

A getPaycheck method that implements the same method in the Employee class. It calculates the paycheck amount (m hours × m worker's paycheck as a string in the following format (Note that the three fields are hourlyWage) and returns the student separated by a hyphen, represented by the minus character.
