Program Plan Intro

Program to ComparableCircle class

Program Plan:

• Include a class name named “Exercise_13_06”.
  • Declare the main() method.
  • Create two instances of ComparableCircle objects by referencing the ComparableCircle class.
  • Display comparableCircle1 and ComaprableCircle2 objects.
  • Find and display the larger of the two ComparableCircle objects by using the compareTo() method in GeometricObject class.
  • Close the main() method.
  • Close the class.
• Include an abstract class “GeometricObject”.
  • Declare all the data types of the variables.
  • Construct a default geometric object.
  • Construct a geometric object with color and filled value.
  • Assign color and fill to the object.
  • Set a new color.
  • Define an isFilled method returns filled and since filled is Boolean; the get method is named isFilled.
  • Set a new filled and getDateCreated method.
  • Override toString function to return output.
  • Define Abstract method getArea.
  • Define Abstract method getPerimeter.
  • Close class.
• Include a class “ComparableCircle”.
  • Construct a ComparableCircle method with specified radius.
  • Construct a ComparableCircle method with specified properties.
  • Construct an override function to implement the compareTo method defined in Comparable.
  • Construct an override function to implement the toString method defined in Circle class.
  • Close class.
• Include a class “Circle” that extends the class GeometricObject class.
  • Declare radius variable.
  • Create a Circle constructor.
  • Assign values to radius.
  • Create a function to set color and set fill in the Circle.
  • Create a Function to return radius.
  • Create a function to set a new radius.
  • Create an override function to return area.
  • Create an override function to return perimeter.
  • Create an override string description of circle object.
  • Close class.
