Chapter 5.1, Problem 12STQ
Define a method called changePopulation that could be added to the definition of the class SpeciesSecondTry in Listing 5.6
. This method has two parameters. One parameter, named area, is of type double and gives the area occupied by the species in square miles. The other parameter, named numberPerMile, is of type int and gives the desired number of individuals per square mile. The method changePopulation changes the value of the instance variable population so that the number of individuals per square mile is (approximately) equal to numberPerMile.

Write a class called Circle that contains:a. Three private instance variables: radius (of the type double), color (of thetype String), and area (of type double).b. Two constructors - a default constructor with no argument (default value of radiusis 2.0, and color is Green) and a parameterized constructor, which initializes onlythe radius and the color variables.c. Getter and setter for the radius and color variables.d. Two public methods: calculateArea(), and getPerimeter, which return the areaand perimeter of a circle instance, respectively. Both methods have return.Then write a driver class that tests the Circle class. In the driver class, create two objectsof Circle class, one that tests the default constructor of the Circle class (here no user inputis required) and then get the color, radius, area, and perimeter of that object and displaythem.
The second object should test the parameterized constructor (here you need to ask userto give you input to initialize the class variables).…

Write a method that reads a line of text from the keyboard and then displays the line, but with the first occurrence of hate changed to love. For example, a possible sample dialogue might beEnter a line of text.I hate you.I have rephrased that line to read:I love you.You can assume that the word hate occurs in the input. If the word hate occurs more than once in the line, your program will replace only its first occurrence.

(Remember, you should use getClass(), not instanceof.)arrow_forwardIn Public Class, create a static void method called Info_AHW that takes 3 parameters - an int and two double. When the method is called, we pass along the age (A), then the height (H), and then the weight (W), which is used inside the method to print the person's age, then the height and then the weight. NOTE: The Print out must follow the output below Afterward, in the main method, get the User input using the Scanner class to get the three input - the int age, the double height and the double weight. Then, call your Info_AHW method and pass your arguments (age, height, weight) into that method. Hint: When getting the int input, use -> sc.nextInt(); When getting the double input, use -> nextDouble(); Input: 5 65.5 70.2 Output: Your age is 5 ; your height is 65.5 ; and your weight is 70.2 Note: -There is a single space between every word and semicolon -There is no space at the endarrow_forwardWrite a Java program for a class called MyPoint, which models a 2D point with x and y coordinates, is designed as shown in the class diagram.

A overloaded constructor that constructs a point with the given x and y coordinates. Getter and setter for the instance variables x and y. A method setXY() to set both x and y. A method getXY() which returns the x and y in a 2-element int array. A toString() method that returns a string description of the instance in the format "(x, y)".

- Assume you are writing a unit test and want to make sure the object returned by a method is correct. We have two objects, expected (which is the object we want to get) and actual (the object the code actually returned).Which of the following is true? A. Unit tests should only check if the class variables are identical. B. We can use assertEquals(expected, actual) only if the equals method has been properly overridden, otherwise we must either check that all the getters return the same values, or that the toString returns the same value. C. We cannot compare objects directly in a unit test. D. Black box testing means we can't ever know if what is inside two objects are the same.arrow_forwardFor this project you will have to write two classes.Class Rectangle is a class that represents an axis-aligned rectangle.

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 efficiency is specified in the constructor, and the initial fuel level is 0. Provide another parameterized constructor which takes both efficiency and fuel as parameters. Also supply methods getGasInTank, returning the current amount of gasoline in the fuel tank. getEfficiency() return the efficiency of car. setGasInTank(double fuel), to add gasoline to the fuel tank. setEfficiency(double efficiency) Supply a method Drive () that simulates driving the car for a certain distance, reducing the amount of gasoline in the fuel tank according to its efficiency.
