CashRegister Class

Write a CashRegister class that can be used with the RetailItem class that you wrote in Chapter 6’s Programming Challenge 4. The CashRegister class should simulate the sale of a retail item. It should have a constructor that accepts a RetailItem object as an argument. The constructor should also accept an integer that represents the quantity of items being purchased. In addition, the class should have the following methods:

  • The getSubtotal method should return the subtotal of the sale, which is the quantity multiplied by the price. This method must get the price from the RetailItem object that was passed as an argument to the constructor.
  • The getTax method should return the amount of sales tax on the purchase. The sales tax rate is 6 percent of a retail sale.
  • The getTotal method should return the total of the sale, which is the subtotal plus the sales tax.

Demonstrate the class in a program that asks the user for the quantity of items being purchased, and then displays the sale’s subtotal, amount of sales tax, and total.

java Assignment Description:   Write a class named Car that has the following fields: The yearModel field is an int that holds the car’s year model. The make field references a String object that holds the make of the car. The speed field is an int that holds the car’s current speed.   In addition, the class should have the following constructor and other methods. The constructor should accept the car’s year and make as arguments. These values should be assigned to the object’s yearModel and make fields. The constructor should also assign 0 to the speed field. Constructor: The constructor should accept no arguments. Constructor: The constructor should accept the car’s year as argument.Assign the value to the object’s yearModel.  No need to assign anything to the make and assign 0 to speed. Appropriate mutator methods should set the values in an object’s yearModel, make, and speed fields. Appropriate accessor methods should get the values stored in an object’s yearModel, make, and…
2. Car Class Write a class named car that has the following fields: ▪ yearModel. The year Model field is an int that holds the car's year model. ▪ make. The make field is a String object that holds the make of the car, such as "Ford", "Chevrolet", "Honda", etc. ▪ speed. The speed field is an int that holds the car's current speed. In addition, the class should have the following methods. ■ Constructor. The constructor should accept the car's year model and make as arguments. These values should be assigned to the object's year Model and make fields. The constructor should also assign 0 to the speed field.
True or false: A class may have a constructor with no parameter list, and an overloaded constructor whose parameters all take default arguments.
