Payroll Class
Design a Payroll class that has fields for an employee’s name, ID number, hourly pay rate, and number of hours worked. Write the appropriate accessor and mutator methods and a constructor that accepts the employee’s name and ID number as arguments. The class should also have a method that returns the employee’s gross pay, which is calculated as the number of hours worked multiplied by the hourly pay rate. Write a
class by creating a Payroll object, then asking the user to enter the data for an employee. The program should display the amount of gross pay earned.

JAVA - USING CONSTRUCTORS
Create a class named House that includes data fields for the number of occupants and the annual income as well as methods named setOccupants(), setIncome(), getOccupants() and getIncome() that set and return those values respectively. Additionally, create a constructor that requires no arguments and automatically sets the occupants field to 1 and income field to 0. Create an additional overloaded constructor . This constructor receives an integer argument and assigns the value to the occupants field. Create a third overloaded constructor this time, the constructor receives 2 arguments, the values of which are assigned to the occupants and income fields respectively. Create another class named I_house that instantiates the House class and see if the constructors work correctly.
7)Circle Class
Write a Circle class that has the following fields:
radius: a double
PI:a final double initialized with the value 3.14159
The class should have the following methods:
Constructor. Accepts the radius of the circles as an argument.
Constructor. A no-arg constructor that sets the radius field to 0.0.
setRadius. A mutator method for the radius field.
getRadius.An accessor method for the radius field.
area. Returns the area of the circle, which is calculated as area. Returns the area of the circles, which is calculated as area= PI * radius * radius
diameter. Returns the diameter of the cirlce, which is calculated as diameter = radius * 2
circumference. Returns the circumference of the circle, which is calculated as circumference = 2 * PI * radius
Write a program that demonstrates the Circle class by asking the user for the circles's radius, creating a Circle object, and then reporting the cirlce's area, diameter, and circumference.
Design a LandTract class that has two fields (i.e. instance variables): one for the tract’s length(a double), and one for the width (a double). The class should have:
a constructor that accepts arguments for the two fields
a method that returns the tract’s area(i.e. length * width)
an equals method that accepts a LandTract object as an argument. If the argument object
holds the same data (i.e. length and width) as the calling object, this method should return
true. Otherwise, it should return false.
a toString method (that returns a String representation of the tract’s length, width, and
area).
Demonstrate the class in a program by creating an array of three LandTract objects initialized with user input. Then, print the info of the LandTract objects stored in the array by invoking the toString method (implicitly or explicity). Also, use the equals method to compare at least two LandTract objects and print wether they are of equal size or not.

- Child Class: Vegetable Write a child class called Vegetable. A vegetable is described by a name, the number of grams of sugar (as a whole number), the number of grams of sodium (as a whole number), and whether or not the vegetable is a starch. Core Class Components For the Vegetable class, write: the complete class header the instance data variables a constructor that sets the instance data variables based on parameters getters and setters; use instance data variables where appropriate a toString method that returns a text representation of a Vegetable object that includes all four characteristics of the vegetableJavaarrow_forward2. Car Class Write a class named car that has the following fields: ▪ yearModel. The year Model field is an int that holds the car's year model. ▪ make. The make field is a String object that holds the make of the car, such as "Ford", "Chevrolet", "Honda", etc. ▪ speed. The speed field is an int that holds the car's current speed. In addition, the class should have the following methods. ■ Constructor. The constructor should accept the car's year model and make as arguments. These values should be assigned to the object's year Model and make fields. The constructor should also assign 0 to the speed field.arrow_forwardParent Class: Food Write a parent class called Food.

Additionally, create a constructor that requires no arguments and automatically sets the occupants field to 1 and income field to 0. Create an additional overloaded constructor .

The ProductionWorker class should have properties to hold the following data: Shift number (an integer, such as 1, 2, or 3) Hourly pay rate The workday is divided into two shifts: day and night. The Shift property will hold an integer value representing the shift that the employee works. The day shift is shift 1 and the night shift is shift 2. Create an application that creates an object of the ProductionWorker class and lets the user enter data for each of the object’s properties. Retrieve the object’s properties and display their values.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_forward
- Part 1: Design a Class You’ll design a class named Car that has the following fields: yearModel—An Integer that holds the car’s model year make—A String that holds the make of the car speed—An Integer that holds the car’s current speed The class should have the following constructor and other methods: The constructor should accept the car’s model year and make as arguments. These values should be assigned to the object’s yearModel and make fields. The constructor should also assign 0 to the speed field. Design appropriate accessor methods to get the values stored in an object’s yearModel, make, and speed fields. The accelerate method should add 5 to the speed field each time it’s called. The brake method should subtract 5 from the speed field each time it’s called. Create your class in a plain-text editor such as Notepad or TextEdit and save as a text file (*.txt). Part 2: Design a Program You’ll create both a pseudocode and you will create a flowchart to design a program that…arrow_forwardTrue or False The get accessor can be thought of as a method that returns the class property’s value.arrow_forwardpublic Account (double initialBalance){balance = initialBalance;}public Account () {balance = 0;}public void deposit (double amount){balance += amount; // Balance = balance + amount}public void withdraw (double amount){balance -= amount; // balance = balance - amount}public void close (){balance = 0;}public String toString(){return "balance: " + balance;}} Modify the Account class by adding two instance variables containing the customer's name and the account number. Both will be String objects. Modify the primary constructor for the Account class so that it takes three parameters: the balance, the customer's name, and the account number. Add instance methods named getCustomerName and getAccountNumber that return the customer name and account number.arrow_forward
