Description
Purpose: A class is a blueprint or prototype from which objects/instances are created. It includes fields or methods that are common to all objects of the same blueprint/class. In general, a class declaration has components: class header, constructors, methods such as getter/setter, and so on. The constructors are used for initializing new instances. Fields are variables representing the state of the class and its objects. The methods are used to implement the behavior of the class and its objects. In this assignment, we will practice how to define classes and create objects. 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: Add divide method to take another Fraction as the parameter and return a new Fraction that is the division of current Fraction and the Fraction in the parameter. (public Fraction divide(Fraction f)). – Add scaleup and scaledown methods to the Fraction class. The scaleup method will take a factor as the parameter and multiply the numerator by the factor. The scaledown method will take a factor as the parameter and multiply the denominator by the factor. – Add a scale method which will have two parameters: factor and flag. The flag is boolean. If flag is true, then scale up the fraction; otherwise scale down the fraction. – Both scaledown and scale methods must check if the factor is 0. If it is 0, a warning message is printed out and no scaling is operated. – Add two more constructors. One of the constructors will have no parameters; it initializes the fraction to 0/1. The other constructor will have one parameter, representing the numerator of the fraction; the denominator of the fraction will be 1. – Write a program named FractionScale that prompts the user of a fraction and a scale factor. Here is what the user will see on the screen: This program performs the scaling operations on a fraction. Enter a fraction: 3/7 Scale up or down (1: up, 0: down): 1 Enter a scale factor: 2 Scaled fraction is: 6/7 You can assume that the user always enters two integers separated by a slash (/) for the faction. However, the user may enter any number of spaces before and after each integer. public class Fraction { // Instance variables private int numerator; // Numerator of fraction private int denominator; // Denominator of fraction // Constructors public Fraction(int num, int denom) { numerator = num; denominator = denom; } // Instance methods public int getNumerator() { return numerator; } public int getDenominator() { return denominator; } public Fraction add(Fraction f) { int num = numerator * f.denominator + f.numerator * denominator; int denom = denominator * f.denominator; return new Fraction(num, denom); } } Program #2: Following is a part of the source codes for NBATeam and NBA classes. Finish the programs for both classes to produce an output screen similar to the following figure. //File NBA.java import java.util.Scanner; public class NBA { public static void main(String[] args) { Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in); String ifAddPlayer; String playerName; //construct Team Heat System.out.println(“Creat the NBA team of Heats …… “); NBATeam heat= new NBATeam(“Heats”); System.out.print(“Add a play to Heats? (yes/no): “); ifAddPlayer= input.next(); while (ifAddPlayer.equalsIgnoreCase(“yes”)){ System.out.print(“What is the name to be added? “); playerName=input.next(); heat.addAPlayer(playerName); System.out.print(“Add one more play to Heats? (yes/no): “); ifAddPlayer= input.next(); } //construct Team spurs …………………………//Your code here /*simulate a series of atmost 7 games by generating a random number; if the random number is bigger than 0.5, Heat wins; otherwise Heat losses a game. As soon as team wins 4 games, the series is over. */ …………………………//Your code here System.out.println(heat); System.out.println(spurs); } } //File NBATeam.java public class NBATeam { private String sTeamName; private int nWin; private int nLoss; private String [] playerArray; …………………………//Your code here }//end of class definition 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.
