Hello! I am working my way through this problem for my Introduction to Java Programming Course. I think I understand the majority of it but I am have a very hard time understanding and developing the bounding box methods. I have developed the Point, Shape, Rectangle, Triangle and Circle classes but I am lost on how to calculate the bounding box coordinates for each of the hierarchy shapes. If someone would be kind enough to walk me through and explain this program, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you kindly! Problem #5: Create a Point class to hold x and y values for a point. Create methods show(), add() and subtract() to display the Point x and y values, and add and subtract point coordinates. Hint: Keep x and y separate in the calculation. Create another class Shape, which will form the basis of a set of shapes. The Shape class will contain default functions to calculate area and circumference of the shape, and provide the coordinates (Points) of a rectangle that encloses the shape (a bounding box). These will be overloaded by the derived classes; therefore, the default methods for Shape will only print a simple message to standard output. Create a display() function for Shape, which will display the name of the class and all stored information about the class (including area, circumference and bounding box). Build the hierarchy by creating the Shape classes Circle, Rectangle and Triangle. Search the Internet for the rules governing these shapes, if necessary. For these three Shape classes, create default constructors, as well as constructors whose arguments will initialize the shapes appropriately using the correct number of Point objects (i.e., Circle requires a Point center and a radius; Rectangle requires four Point vertices; and Triangle requires three Point vertices). Add error-checking to the constructors, such that they print a warning if the arguments do not conform to the appropriate shape. Hint: Not all four-sided shapes are rectangles. Also add a check to Rectangle, such that it tests for the special case of a “square” and prints an appropriate message if the test is true. In main(), create several instances of each shape object and display the information for each object. Be sure to create at least one non-rectangle shape to demonstrate your error handling, and at least one square.

Problem #5:

Create a Point class to hold x and y values for a point. Create methods show(), add() and subtract() to display the Point x and y values, and add and subtract point coordinates.

Hint: Keep x and y separate in the calculation.

The Shape class will contain default functions to calculate area and circumference of the shape, and provide the coordinates (Points) of a rectangle that encloses the shape (a bounding box). These will be overloaded by the derived classes; therefore, the default methods for Shape will only print a simple message to standard output.
