- JAVA PROGRAMMING: Lesson – Overloading 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.arrow_forwardDesign 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.

You can assume that IDs are numbers between 1-9999. Since nextAvailableID is static, all the Employee objects will share this field. b) with properties FirstName (string) LastName (string), ID (int): make it read only to allow initializing only with a constructor and then no more. c) Add a constructor to allow setting properties FirstName and LastName. Hint: ID will be initialized to nextAvailableID (make sure to increment nextAvailableID by one) Add ToString Method to display the full name and ID of the employee Then, write a Main method to test your class Employee.

- 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 another class named I_house that instantiates the House class and see if the constructors work correctly.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_forwardDesign 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.
