COSC 117 Homework 7
2 Exercises
1. This exercise is to create another class structure (Object). Create a new project and a new
main class as usual. Now create another class called Rectangle.
In the Rectangle class:
(a) Have two private data members width and height, both doubles.
(b) Create a constructor that brings in as parameters doubles for the height and width and
sets the two data members to the parameter values. You do not need to worry about
data validity checking.
(c) Create sets and gets accessor methods that will set and return the values of the height
and width. Four methods total here. Again, you do not need to worry about data validity
checking.
(d) Create a method Perimeter that will calculate and return the value of the perimeter of
the rectangle.
(e) Create a method Area that will calculate and return the value of the area of the rectangle.
(f) Create a method isSquare that will return true if the rectangle is a square and false if
it is not.
(g) Create a method toString that will return a string with the height and width information. Specifically, if we have a rectangle object called rectangle1 with width 7 and
height 2 the code line
System.out.println(rectangle1);
would produce the output of
Rectangle Data: Width = 7.0 Height = 2.0
In the main file:
(a) Create the following method. Note that this method brings in a Rectangle object as a
parameter. As we discussed in class, these objects are new data types you create and can
be used like any other data type. So sending a Triangle or Rectangle to a method is just
as easy as sending an int or a double.

public static void PrintRectangleInformation(Rectangle r) {
System.out.println(“Height: ” + r.getHeight());
System.out.println(“Width: ” + r.getWidth());
System.out.println(“Area: ” + r.Area());
System.out.println(“Perimeter: ” + r.Perimeter());
if (r.isSquare())
System.out.println(“The rectangle is a square.”);
else
System.out.println(“The rectangle is not a square.”);
}
(b) Insert the following code into the main itself,
Scanner kb = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print(“Input height and width of Rectangle #1: “);
double h = kb.nextDouble();
double w = kb.nextDouble();
Rectangle rectangle1 = new Rectangle(h, w);
System.out.print(“Input height and width of Rectangle #2: “);
h = kb.nextDouble();
w = kb.nextDouble();
Rectangle rectangle2 = new Rectangle(h, w);
System.out.println();
System.out.println(rectangle1);
System.out.println(rectangle2);
System.out.println();
System.out.println(“Rectangle 1”);
PrintRectangleInformation(rectangle1);
System.out.println();
System.out.println(“Rectangle 2”);
PrintRectangleInformation(rectangle2);
rectangle1.setHeight(17);
rectangle1.setWidth(17);
System.out.println();
System.out.println(“Rectangle 1”);
PrintRectangleInformation(rectangle1);
Run the program and you should get output like the following. You may need to debug
your Rectangle class if you have any errors.
Input height and width of Rectangle #1: 5 7
Input height and width of Rectangle #2: 6 6
Rectangle Data: Width = 7.0 Height = 5.0
Rectangle Data: Width = 6.0 Height = 6.0
Rectangle 1
Height: 5.0
Width: 7.0
Area: 35.0
Perimeter: 24.0
The rectangle is not a square.
Rectangle 2
Height: 6.0
Width: 6.0
Area: 36.0
Perimeter: 24.0
The rectangle is a square.
Rectangle 1
Height: 17.0
Width: 17.0
Area: 289.0
Perimeter: 68.0
The rectangle is a square.
2. In this exercise you will be creating a Circle object (class) that will be similar to the triangle
object we created in class. The data that is being stored in the Circle object are the x and y
coordinates for the center and the radius of the circle, all doubles.
All data members must be declared private. The methods for the class are as follows.
(a) One constructor is simply a default constructor that sets the numeric data members to
0.
public Circle()
(b) The second constructor sets the values of the data members to the parameter values.
public Circle(double cx, double cy, double rad)
(c) An accessor method for setting the x and y coordinates of the circle.
public void setCenter(double cx, double cy)
(d) An accessor method for setting the radius of the circle.
public void setRadius(double rad)
(e) An accessor method for getting the x coordinates of the circle.
public double getCenterX()
(f) An accessor method for getting the y coordinates of the circle.
public double getCenterY()
(g) An accessor method for getting the radius of the circle.
public double getRadius()
(h) A method to calculate and return the circumference of the circle.
public double Circumference()
(i) A method to calculate and return the area of the circle.
public double Area()
3
(j) A method that will determine if two circles collide.
public boolean collide(Circle c)
We will talk about this one a little. Notice that the parameter is a circle type, so in the
method you will be working with two circles at one time, the parameter circle c and the
“calling” circle. Let’s say that you declared two circles in the main, c1 and c2. Then to
determine if the two circles collide you would have the command,
c1.collide(c2)
If the value of this is true then the two circles overlap and false if they do not. In this
call the circle c2 would be loaded into the parameter c in the method. If you have a data
member of radius in the class structure, then the value of radius is the radius of c1
and the value of c.radius is the radius of c2.
To determine if two circles collide you calculate the distance between the two centers of
the circles and if that distance is less than the sum of the two radii then the circles are
colliding, think about that geometrically. Recall that the distance between two points
(x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is p
(x2 − x1)
2 + (y2 − y1)
2.
In the main program file you will also write a method called printProperties that will
take as a parameter a circle object and print out its attributes. Your main program is to be
the following.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner keyboard = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.print(“Input the X coordinate of the center: “);
double cx = keyboard.nextDouble();
System.out.print(“Input the Y coordinate of the center: “);
double cy = keyboard.nextDouble();
System.out.print(“Input the radius: “);
double rad = keyboard.nextDouble();
Circle circle1 = new Circle(cx, cy, rad);
printProperties(circle1);
Circle circle2 = new Circle(2, 3, 2);
printProperties(circle2);
Circle circle3 = new Circle(4, 5, 1);
printProperties(circle3);
Circle circle4 = new Circle(0, 0, 3);
printProperties(circle4);
System.out.println();
System.out.println(circle2.collide(circle3));
System.out.println(circle2.collide(circle4));
System.out.println(circle3.collide(circle4));
}
Program Run: The following is a run of the program.
Input the X coordinate of the center: 4
Input the Y coordinate of the center: 7
Input the radius: 5
Properties
Center = (4.0, 7.0)
Radius = 5.0
Circumference = 31.41592653589793

true
false
3. In this exercise you will be creating a Student object (class) that will hold some student
information, such as, name, id, and exam scores. The class will also have methods for updating
and retrieving student information. The main program will act as a grade book, for a class of
a single student.
The data that is being stored in the student object is the first and last names of the student,
the student’s ID number (as an integer), three exam scores and a final exam score, all doubles.
All data members must be declared private. The methods for the class are as follows.
(a) The constructor is simply a default constructor that sets the strings to the empty string
and the numeric data members to 0.
public Student()
(b) The accessor method setName will update the first and last names.
public void setName(String first, String last)
(c) The accessor method getName will return the student’s full name in informal form.
public String getName()
(d) The accessor method getFormalName will return the student’s full name in formal form.
public String getFormalName()
(e) The accessor method setID will update the student’s ID number.
public void setID(int id)
(f) The accessor method getID will return the student’s ID number.
public int getID()

COSC 117 Homework #7: Objects
(g) The accessor method setExamScore will store the score for the given exam number. If
the exam number is not 1, 2, or 3 then the score cannot be stored. In addition, the exam
scores are to be between 0 and 100, and can be doubles. If the exam score is less then 0
store 0 and if the score is greater than 100 store 100.
public void setExamScore(int examNumber, double score)
(h) The accessor method getExamScore will return the score for the given exam number.
If the exam number is not 1, 2, or 3 then return 0.
public double getExamScore(int examNumber)
(i) The accessor method setFinalExamScore will store the score for the final exam. The
exam score is to be between 0 and 200, and can be double. If the exam score is less then
0 store 0 and if the score is greater than 200 store 200.
public void setFinalExamScore(double score)
(j) The accessor method getFinalExamScore will return the score for the final exam.
public double getFinalExamScore()
(k) The method ExamAverage will calculate and return the student’s exam average for the
three 100 point exams. It will not include the final exam.
public double ExamAverage()
(l) The method Average will calculate and return the student’s exam average. This one
does include the final exam average.
public double Average()
(m) The method FinalProjection will calculate and return the score needed on the final
(out of 200) that the student needs to get the target average for the course.
public double FinalProjection(double target)
(n) The method LetterGrade will calculate the student’s average and then return the
student’s current letter grade on the 90-80-70-60 point scale.
public String LetterGrade()
The main program will handle all input from the keyboard and all printing to the console
window. There will be no printing from the Student class or keyboard input into the Student
class.
When the program is run the user will see the following menu.
Please select from the following menu:
1. Input Student Name
2. Input Student ID
3. Input Exam Score
4. Input Final Exam Score
5. Print Exam Average without the Final Exam
6. Calculate Final Exam Projection
7. Print Student Report
8. Quit

The first four items will take input from the user and then the main will call the appropriate method to update the student information. Items 5 and 6 will print out the requested
information and item 7 will print out a complete student report in the form.
Student Progress Report: Spickler, Don (12345)
Exam Scores
Exam 1 = 84.0
Exam 2 = 78.0
Exam 3 = 70.0
Final = 174.0
Average = 81.2
Letter Grade = B
This report is to be printed in a method (in the main program file) that takes in a single
parameter of Student type. The menu and the menu selection are to be done in a separate
method as well. This method will have no parameters but it will return an integer that
designates the user’s selection. Also, this method should check the user’s input and if it is a
number out of range the method should ask the user to make another selection.
One idiosyncrasy of the scanner is the difference between the nextLine reads and the numeric
reads. When reading a numeric input the enter key that is at the end of the input stays in
the input buffer but when a nextLine is done the enter key is removed from the buffer. What
this means is that if you were to read in a numeric value and then a string (using nextLine),
the string read would take the enter key without stopping for user input. For example, in the
following block of code, the nextLine read does not stop and wait for user input.
The enter is taken in and the str variable is the empty string.
System.out.print(“Input a number: “);
double num = keyboard.nextDouble();
System.out.print(“Input a string: “);
String str = keyboard.nextLine();
System.out.println(str + ” ” + num);
The output of the above block of code follows.
Input a number: 12.34
Input a string: 12.34
If we add in a single line, String clearBuffer = keyboard.nextLine(); after the
numeric read then the enter key is removed and the next call to nextLine will stop and wait
for user input.
System.out.print(“Input a number: “);
double num = keyboard.nextDouble();
String clearBuffer = keyboard.nextLine();
System.out.print(“Input a string: “);
String str = keyboard.nextLine();
System.out.println(str + ” ” + num);
The output of the above block of code follows.
Input a number: 12.34
Input a string: This is my String
This is my String 12.34

So if in your code you are calling nextLine after a numeric read you may wish to use the clear
buffer line as we did above. For example, if you select to update the student’s id number and
then select to update the student’s name, this could easily happen.
All programming languages have idiosyncrasies, the job of programming is to make the program
do what you want it to do given the tools of the language. Sometimes this means coming up
with a work-around to some things.Program Run: The following is a complete run of the program.
