Chapter 5.1, Problem 11STQ
Define a method called changePopulation that could be added to the definition of the class SpeciesSecondTry in Listing 5.6
. This method has one parameter of type double that is named area. The parameter area gives the area occupied by the species, expressed in square miles. The method changePopulation changes the value of the instance variable population so that there will be two individuals per square mile.

The following is a class definition for a simple Ebook. Two instance variables and one parameterless constructor are provided.
Part 1: Write a second constructor that takes a String array of pages as input and sets the String array instance variable equal to the input. Continue to default the current page number to zero.
Part 2: Write a getter and a setter method for the page number variable. The setter should check to make sure that the input is a valid page number and only update the variable if the new value is valid.
Part 3: Write a getCurrentPage method that returns the String of the current page indexed by current_page.
public class Ebook{ private String[] pages; private int current_page; //constructor public Ebook() { this.pages = {"See Spot.", "See Spot run.", "Run, Spot, run."}; this.current_page = 0; }}
Novice: How can i access a main class objects from outside the function? / Better Alternative?
If i have 4 Student objects how can i print the information for the specific object given one parameter about the class, like the students Idnumber.
What i came up with was making a checkId void function that takes the user input and runs an if else chain checking if the Id belongs to student 1-4 then printing the details of that classes object with the void function print. ideally i would want the if-else chain in the checkId function to call the print( student1-4) class object but im not sure how to properly do that.
i dont think this is the best way to go about it, if you have any recommendations or alternatives please help me out.
Help, I making a elevator simulator, I need help in writing code in the Elevator class and it's polymorphism class. I am not sure what to do next. Any help is appreciated.
There are 4 types of passengers in the system:Standard: This is the most common type of passenger and has a request percentage of 70%. Standard passengers have no special requirements.VIP: This type of passenger has a request percentage of 10%. VIP passengers are given priority and are more likely to be picked up by express elevators.Freight: This type of passenger has a request percentage of 15%. Freight passengers have large items that need to be transported and are more likely to be picked up by freight elevators.Glass: This type of passenger has a request percentage of 5%. Glass passengers have fragile items that need to be transported and are more likely to be picked up by glass elevators.

- The total cost of a group of items at a grocery store is based on the sum of the individual product prices and the tax (which is 5.75%). Products that are considered “necessities” are not taxed, whereas products that are considered “luxuries” are. The Product class is abstract, and it has a method called getTotalPrice. Your task is to create two subclasses of Product: NecessaryProduct and LuxuryProduct and implement the getTotalPrice method in each of these classes appropriately. Then modify the driver program to instantiate four products (two necessary and two luxury) and store them in the product array, print out each item in the array, and display the total cost of the items. You should not make any changes at all to Product.java, and you should only add to ShoppingTripStartingCode.java.

In this question, you are provided a completed superclass – Shape (Do not make any changes to this class!). This class represents generic shapes and has several methods that you will have to override in the Circle and Rectangle subclasses, whose code skeletons are provided as well. You are required to complete these two classes so that they can correctly describe and calculate their attributes. For the Circle class, create the following: A private double instance variable m radius. A constructor that takes two parameters (in the order of color, radius). It should use the parameter for radius to set the m_radius instance variable and then explicitly call the parent class constructor using the super keyword and pass in the color parameter.

- All vehicles used for transportation in the U.S. must have identification, which varies according to the type of vehicle. For example, all automobiles have a unique Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) assigned by the manufacturer, plus a license plate number assigend by the state in which the auto is registerd. Your task is to modify the Auto class below to override the equals method of the Vehicle class to test that the VIN and license plate number are identical.arrow_forwardCreate a new class called Dog that is derived from the Pet class given in Listing 6.1 of Chapter 6. The new class has the additional attributes of breed (type String) and boosterShot (type boolean), which is true if the pet has had its booster shot and false if not. Give your classes a reasonable complement of constructors and accessor methods. Write a driver program to test all your methods, then write a program that reads in five pets of type Dog and displays the name and breed of all dogs that are over two years old and have not had their booster shots.arrow_forwardWrite Java program for given scenarios below: Create a class named 'Member' having the following members: Data members 1 - Name 2 - Age 3 - Phone number 4 - Address 5 - Salary It also has a method named 'printSalary' which prints the salary of the members. Two classes 'Employee' and 'Manager' inherits the 'Member' class. The 'Employee' and "Manager' classes have data members 'specialization' and 'department' respectively. Now, assign name, age, phone number, address and salary to an employee and a manager by making an object of both of these classes and print the same.arrow_forward
