Description
Purpose:
Instance variables belong to the instance of a class, i.e., an object. Every object of that class has
its own copy of that instance variable. Changes made to a particular instance variable donot
reflect in other instances of that class.
Class variables are known as static variables. There is only one copy of that variable that is
shared with all instances of that class. If changes are made to that variable, all other instances
will see the change.
Instance methods belong to the object of the class, can only be called after an object of its class is
created. Static/class methods can be called without creating an object of class. They are
referenced by the class name itself or reference to the Object of that class.
In this assignment, we will practice how to use multiple classes and objects as well as class
variables/methods. Once a class is available, it’s like we have a new data type. Variables can be
defined with a type of this class and can refer to an object of this class. Methods can use this
class as parameter type or return type.
Program #1:
1. Write a PaypalAccount class to include both balance and accountID as the instance
variables. Make sure each instance of this account will have a unique accountID. In
other words, different account object should have different accountID (hint: class
variable).
2. Write a Bank class with main method. In the main method, ask the user to input how
many accounts (say numOfAccount) to be generated in the bank (assuming less than
1000). Then create an array to hold these numOfAccount of Account objects. For each
Account object, generate a random balance in the range of 0.0-1000.0.
a. Assume that your GSU campus ID is abc-de-fghi; search the array to see if there
is an account with accountID as abc (the first three digits of your campus ID). If
there is not an account with accountID as abc, then set the accountID of the last
account in the array as abc; transfer all the balance of the first account to the
account with accountID of abc
b. Set the balance of the account with accountID of abc to be efghi/100.0 (i.e., your
last 5 digits of your campus ID divided by 100.0); and print out the information
of this account
c. Find the average account balance of all the accounts in the array and print it out.
d. Find the account with the largest balance, print out its accountID and balance.
e. Find the account with the lowest balance, print out its accountID and balance.
Here is an example of the screenshot when running the program:
Program #2:
Write a class called YourFirstNameLine that represents a line segment between two Points. Your
Line objects should have the following methods:
– public YourFirstNameLine (Point p1, Point P2): construct a new Line that contains the
given two Points
– public Point getStartPoint(): return this Line’s first endpoint
– public Point getEndPoint(): return this Line’s second endpoint
– public String toString(): return a String representation of this Line, such as “[(2,3), (4,7)]”
– public double getSlope(): return the slope of this Line. The slope of a line between points
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is equal to (y2-y1)/(x2-x1). If x2 equals x1, the denominator is zero
and the slope is undefined, so you may return a zero in this case
– public void draw (Graphics g): draw a line in a DrawingPanel.
Write a client class called YourFirstNameLineTest with main method to test your Line class. In
the main method, you need create a line object with the last four numbers of your Panther ID.
For example, if your pantherid ends with xxxxx1234, then create and draw a line of between
point (1,2) and point (3,4). (Hint: you will need the Point.java, DrawingPanel.java,
YourFirstNameLine.java and YourFirstNameLineTest.java)
Criteria:
1. Upload all of the .java and the .class files to the CSc1302 dropbox on http://
icollege.gsu.edu.
2. Your assignment will be graded based on the following criteria: (a) Are your programs
runnable without errors? (b) Do your programs complete the tasks with specified outputs?
(c) Do you follow the specified rules to define your methods and programs? (d) Do you
provide necessary comments include the programmer information, date, title of the
program and brief description of the program.
3. Make sure that both the .java and .class files are named and uploaded to icollege
correctly. If any special package is used in the program, be sure to upload the package
too. Should you use any other subdirectory (whatsoever) your program would not be
graded, and you will receive a 0 (zero).
4. No copying allowed. If it is found that students copy from each other, all of these
programs will get 0.
