Description
Steps:
For testing purposes use the TestMotorVehicles class provided.
Use the UML diagrams and the notes below to create a small demonstration program.
Class MotorVehicle:
• Overloaded constructor:
o set values into fields from parameters
o System.out.println(“Returning from MotorVehicle constructor”);
• No parameters constructor:
o Use a chained constructor call with this()
Set manufacturer to “UnknownMotorVehicle”, set top speed to zero
o System.out.println(“Returning from default MotorVehicle constructor”);
• toString
o @Override
o Use a StringBuilder to append the String returned from the superclasses toString
o Then append the manufacturer and top speed
o Return the string
Class Car
• extends MotorVehicle
• one field trunkCapacity
• Overloaded constructor:
o Explicitly call super(String, int) passing values into super class
o set value into field from last parameter for trunkCapacity
o System.out.println(“Returning from Car constructor”);
• No parameters constructor:
o Use a chained constructor call with this()
Set manufacturer to “UnknownCar”, set top speed to 100, trunk capacity to 1
o System.out.println(“Returning from default Car constructor”);
• toString
o @Override
o Use a StringBuilder to append the String returned from the superclasses toString
o Then append the trunkCapacity
o Return the string
Class Truck
• extends MotorVehicle
• one field towingCapacity
• Overloaded constructor:
o Explicitly call super(String, int) passing values into super class
o set value into field from last parameter for towingCapacity
o System.out.println(“Returning from Truck constructor”);
• No parameters constructor:
o Use a chained constructor call with this()
Set manufacturer to “UnknownTruck”, set top speed to 95, towing capacity to 11,000
o System.out.println(“Returning from default Truck constructor”);
• toString
o @Override
o Use a StringBuilder to append the String returned from the superclasses toString
o Then append the towingCapacity
o Return the string
public class TestMotorVehicles {
public static void main(String[] args){
MotorVehicle mv1 = new MotorVehicle(); // OPPORTUNITY FOR BONUS MARKS
System.out.println(mv1);
System.out.println();
MotorVehicle mv2 = new Car();
System.out.println(mv2);
System.out.println();
MotorVehicle mv3 = new Car(“SampleData1”, 125, 2);
System.out.println(mv3);
System.out.println();
MotorVehicle mv4 = new Truck();
System.out.println(mv4);
System.out.println();
MotorVehicle mv5 = new Truck(“SampleData2”, 95, 12000);
System.out.println(mv5);
System.out.println();
}
}
Grading Guide (Total Score 10):
Correct use of extends? 2
Super class constructors chained with super() 3
toString() overridden, with calls to super.toString() 3
Program produces correct output 2
***************************************************************************************************
Opportunity for bonus marks
1 bonus mark: What class would the MotorVehicle class extend? Add appropriate code and demo.
1 bonus mark: Add keyword abstract to the class definition for the MotorVehicle class. You should now
have errors in your main method. Debug your code and be prepared to answer why.
Maximum available mark for this lab: 12/10
