Chapter 5, Problem 7E

Consider a class MotorBoat that represents motorboats. A motorboat has attributes for

  • The capacity of the fuel tank
  • The amount of fuel in the tank
  • The maximum speed of the boat
  • The current speed of the boat
  • The efficiency of the boat’s motor
  • The distance traveled

The class has methods to

  • Change the speed of the boat
  • Operate the boat for an amount of time at the current speed
  • Refuel the boat with some amount of fuel
  • Return the amount of fuel in the tank
  • Return the distance traveled so far

If the boat has efficiency e, the amount of fuel used when traveling at a speed s for time t is e × s2 × t. The distance traveled in that time is s × t.

  1. a. Write a method heading for each method.
  2. b. Write preconditions and postconditions for each method.
  3. c. Write some Java statements that test the class.
  4. d. Implement the class.

TASK 1   Draw the UML class diagrams for the following classes: An abstract Java class called Person that has the following attributes: a String called idNumber a Date called dateOfBirth representing the date of birth. a String for name A class called RideRecord with the following attributes: a Driver attribute an enum called type of RideType a Date called date a double called fee A class called Passenger that extends the Person class and has the following attributes and behaviours: an ArrayList that contains RideRecord objects called rideHistory a public method called takeRide that takes a RideRecord with the following signature:public void takeRide(RideRecord rideRecord); a public boolean method called hasRideHistory that returns whether or not the Passenger has taken a ride before. A Driver class that extends the Person class and has the following attributes and behaviors: a String called licenseCode a public method called giveRide that takes as a parameter a Passenger…
Consider the case of a shop that sells CDs in cash. The CDs are of three types: Movie CDs, Software CDs and Music CDs. For each of the following CD types, the required attributes are:Movie CD: Movie Title, Year of Release, Lead Actor Name, CD price and CD quantitySoftware CD: Software Name, Edition, Year of Release, CD price and CD quantityMusic CD: Album Title, Year of Release, Number of Songs, Format, CD price and CD quantity     All objects of the classes cannot change their state once they are instantiated. How will you implement this?
Make a class Car,attributes make, price and odometer to record the make, price and odometer of a car, method __str__ to give the description of a car, and update_odometer to update the odometer of a car.  def main():        mycar = Car('Benz',200)     print(mycar) if __name__=='__main__':main()
