Chapter 10, Problem 7E
Write a class contactInfo to store contact information for a person. It should have attributes for a person’s name, business phone, home phone, cell phone, e-mail address, and home address. It should have a toString method that returns this data as a string, making appropriate replacements for any attributes that do not have values. It should have a constructor contactInfo (aString) that creates and returns a new instance of the class, using data in the string aString. The constructor should use a format consistent with what the toString method produces.
Using a text editor, create a text file of contact information, as described in the previous paragraph, for several people. Write a program that reads this file, displays the data on the screen, and creates an array whose base type is ContactInfo. Allow the user to do one of the following: change some data in one contact, add a contact, or delete a contact. Finally, write over the file with the modified contacts.

Complete the class LeprechaunGold to model a stash of gold coins at the end of the rainbow. There is a maximum capacity to the number of gold coins a leprechaun can store at any given time (the pot they store them in can only hold so many). The pot also holds a current amount.
What does the LeprechaunGold object need to remember?
Those are the instance variables.
Provide a constructor that takes the maximum capacity as a parameter. The constructor initializes the instance variables (two of them).
Provide methods
public int getCapacity() - gets the maximum capacity
public int getAmount() - gets the number of coins in the pot
public void donate(int coins) - simulates making a donation
public void save(int coins) - simulates adding more coins to the pot
Take the tax program from the last homework assignment and implement it using classes and objects instead.
To do so, create a class definition for a class called Customer with attributes income and tax. It should also have a set method for income, and a calcTax() method to assign tax and return it. As a reminder, the tax is calculated as follows:
Income
Tax Due
$0 - $50,000
5%
$50,000-$100,000
$2,500 + 10% of (income > $50,000)
> $100,000
$7,500 + 15% of (income > $100,000)
Create a Customer object in main, have the user enter the income and assign this to the income variable of the Customer object, and then call the calcTax() method for the Customer object and print the tax due.
Write a complete program for the description given below.
Consider a Billing class that implements an interface Payable having a method getTotalPayment Amount(). Besides this, you have a Doctor class with private instance variables (docID, docName, and docFee) and a public getDoc() method, Patient class with private instance variables (pName, pID. pDisease), Medicine class with private instance variables (medID, medName, medQty, medPrice), and Medical Test class with private instance variables (testID, testName, testPrice). Each of these classes has the toString() method to display the information of its object. The Billing class is having "Has A" relationship with the other four classes (Doctor, Patient, Medicine, and MedicalTest) mentioned above. The getPayment Amount() method of Billing class returns the total billing amount that includes doc fee, medicine cost, and medical test fee that a patient has to pay. After implementing these classes, you are required to do the following in…

DO NOT assume the length of String type authorInit to be 2.arrow_forwardI have provided you with 3 interfaces (HasLegs, HasWings, and BreathesUnderwater) and a Tester class. I want you to create 6 new classes: • 2 that implement HasLegs • 2 that implement HasWings • 2 that implement BreathesUnderwater For each of the classes, you will have to implement the methods that the interface dictates. In addition, override toString so that it prints out a simple message describing what the object is. See the example output of my implementation below for an idea how to do that. The Tester class creates 3 ArrayLists, one for each interface. It also loops through each ArrayList and prints out its contents using toString and the interface methods. In between those two chunks of code, you’ll see a //TODO: comment. It is there that I want you to create one object for each of the 6 classes you created and add that object to the appropriate ArrayList. Once you have done all that, you should be able to run your program and see output like the following: I am a table. I have…arrow_forward

Both have a field, firstName. We have instances of these objectsPerson p and Employee e. Both p and e have the same value for firstName, specifically, p.firstName = “joe”and e.firstName = “joe” Which of the following statements is necessarily true? Group of answer choices 1. p.equals(e) will return true because they contain the same firstName. 2. We don’t know if either class will have an equals method. 3. There is not enough information to tell what p.equals(e) will return. 4. p.equals(e) will return false but p == e will be true.arrow_forward
- Given below is a Rectangle class consisting of an upper left coordinate and a lower right coordinate. class Rectangle { int upperLeftX; int upperLeftY; int lowerRightX; int lowerRightY; } Since the upper left coordinate and lower right coordinate comprise of points, how would you modify the definition of the Rectangle class to include these points in your class?arrow_forwardNow we are going to use the design pattern for collecting objects. We are going to create two classes, a class AmazonOrder that models Amazon orders and a class Item that models items in Amazon orders. An item has a name and a price, and the name is unique. The Item class has a constructor that takes name and price, in that order. The class also has getters and setters for the instance variables. This is the design pattern for managing properties of objects. The setName() method should do nothing if the parameter is the empty string, and the setPrice() method should do nothing if the parameter is not positive. The class also has a toString() method that returns a string representation for the item in the format “Item[Name:iPad,Price:399.99]”. For simplicity, we assume an Amazon order can have at most 5 items, and class AmazonOrder has two instance variables, an array of Item with a length of 5 and an integer numOfItems to keep track of the number of items in the…arrow_forwardFor this exercise, you are given a Team superclass with a BaseballTeam and FootballTeam subclass. Take a moment to examine these classes and the instance variables and methods in each. In the TeamTester class, you will see three objects declared and instantiated using the Team, FootballTeam, or BaseballTeam classes. For each object, use a print statement to print out any public method that returns information that is available for that particular object, including the toString. For example, the dolphin object is a FootballTeam object. One of the pieces of information that can be printed is the getTies() method, so you will call that method in your TeamTester file: System.out.println(dolphins.getTies()); Do this for all the methods that each of the objects can call. Hint: Remember, for the program to compile and run, Java looks for methods to exist in certain classes. ================================= public class Team { private String name;private String location;private int…arrow_forward
- In this exercise, you are going to build on your Circleclass from the previous exercise. You are going to add 2 method, areaDifference and perimeterDifference. Both methods take a doubleradius of a second circle and return the difference from the current circle. For example, if you create a Circle object with a radius of 4 and call areaDifference(3), you will return the diffence between the area of a circle with radius 4 and the area of a circle with a radius of 3. perimeterDifferencewould be the same. Make sure you create at least one Circle and test and print the results of your methods. in javaarrow_forwardAll vehicles used for transportation in the U.S. must have identification, which varies according to the type of vehicle. For example, all automobiles have a unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) assigned by the manufacturer, plus a license plate number assigend by the state in which the auto is registerd. Modify the Auto class to include an instance variable for the license plate number. Implement the constructor so that an Auto can be constructed with a VIN and a license plate number. Override the getID() method to return the id of the auto as shown in this format: VIN=1234567890,plate=ABC123 (without any spaces). ** Represents an automobile.*/public class Auto // TODO: Inherit from Vehicle{ // TODO: Declare instance variables public Auto(String vin, String plate) { // TODO: Complete the constructor } // TODO: implement the getID() method for autos}arrow_forwardBuild a class called BankAccount that manages checking and savings accounts.
