Using Google Sites:

Make a colorful, simple and user-friendly site. You will need to explain the following using words and code:

Inheritance

Interfaces

ArrayList and Arrays

Method overloading vs. overriding

Attach code samples to your site (zipped up Netbeans projects). Send me the URL when it is finished. If you copy other people's words, give them credit by linking to them and quoting it. Here's a site I've made.

Today's minor project (in class)

2009-10-05T14:50:00.001-07:00

With another person (or two, or by yourself), I would like you to create three classes for a Real Estate Business. The first will be a property class with an address, price, and area. The Residential class and Commercial class will be the subclasses of the Property class. Add two attributes to each subclass. ---Create a GUI to enter the information about the Residential or Commercial properties. Store them in an ArrayList.

Have the ability to output the ArrayList to the console.

Test Two is Monday October 12, 2009

Major Assignment 3 due June 28, 2009

2009-06-22T16:19:00.001-07:00

From 10.6

Create a GUI to add workers, hours and determine their salary.

Write a superclass Worker and subclasses HourlyWorker and SalariedWorker. Every worker has a name and a salary rate. Write a method computePay(int hours) that computes the weekly pay for every worker. An hourly worker gets paid the hourly wage for the actual number of hours worked, if hours is at most 40. If the hourly worker worked more than 40 hours, the excess is paid at time and a half. The salaried worker gets paid the hourly wage for 40 hours, no matter what the actual number of hours is. Supply a test program that uses polymorphism to test these classes and methods.

Also use the following class as your tester class: /**
This class tests class Worker and its subclasses.
*/
public class WorkerTester
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Worker s = new SalariedWorker(''Sally'', 40);
Worker h = new HourlyWorker(''Harry'', 40);
System.out.println(s.computePay(30));
System.out.println(''Expected: 1600'');
System.out.println(h.computePay(30));
System.out.println(''Expected: 1200'');
System.out.println(s.computePay(50));
System.out.println(''Expected: 1600'');
System.out.println(h.computePay(50));
System.out.println(''Expected: 2200'');
}
}

Hospital Project

2009-06-10T15:34:00.000-07:00

You will be doing a "minor project" with another classmate.

We will write software using Java for a hospital to track its patients. You will first make a Patient class and four necessary methods for the Patient. Create two possible constructors for your Patient class.

Use the Patient class to create a CriticalCare patient (Remember: extends). Add an extra method that a CriticalCare patient may need to have. Create a constructor for the CriticalCare patient.

Lastly create a Hospital class that has an ArrayList of Patients and CriticalCare patients.

Use a loop to ask a user to input the information to admit a Patient and a CriticalCare patient.

Major Assignment 2

2009-06-03T17:13:00.001-07:00

There is better formatting here.

The following two programs comes from Chapter 7 in your textbook. Due Monday June 16th, 2009. Please upload both as one project and make sure to zip it before using freerschool.com.

P7.2
Implement a class Purse. A purse contains a collection of coins. For simplicity, we will only store the coin names in an ArrayList. (We will discuss a better representation in Chapter 8.) Supply a method

void addCoin(String coinName)

Add a method toString to the Purse class that prints the coins in the purse in the format

Purse[Quarter,Dime,Nickel,Dime]

Use the following class in your solution:

import java.util.ArrayList;

/**
A purse holds a collection of coins.
*/
public class Purse
{
/**
   Constructs an empty purse.
*/
public Purse()
{
   coins = new ArrayList();
}

/**
   Adds a coin to the purse.
   @param coinName the coin to add
*/
public void addCoin(String coinName)
{
   . . .
}

/**
   Returns a string describing the object.
   @return a string in the format "Purse[coinName1,coinName2,...]"
*/
public String toString()
{
   . . .
}

private ArrayList coins;
}

Use the following class as your tester class:

/**
This class tests the Purse class.
*/
public class PurseTester
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
   Purse p = new Purse();
   p.addCoin("Quarter");
   p.addCoin("Dime");
   p.addCoin("Nickel");
   p.addCoin("Dime");

   System.out.println(p.toString());
   System.out.println("Expected: Purse[Quarter,Dime,Nickel,Dime]");
}
}

P7.3

Write a method reverse that reverses the sequence of coins in a purse. Use the toString method of the preceding assignment to test your code. For example, if reverse is called with a purse

Purse[Quarter,Dime,Nickel,Dime]

then the purse is changed to

Purse[Dime,Nickel,Dime,Quarter]

Use the following class in your solution:

import java.util.ArrayList;

/**
A purse holds a collection of coins.
*/
public class Purse
{
/**
   Constructs an empty purse.
*/
public Purse()
{
   coins = new ArrayList();
}

/**
   Adds a coin to the purse.
   @param coinName the coin to add
*/
public void addCoin(String coinName)
{
   . . .
}

/**
   Returns a string describing the object.
   @return a string in the format "Purse[coinName1,coinName2,...]"
*/
public String toString()
{
   . . .
}

/**
   Reverses the elements in the purse.
*/
public void reverse()
{
   . . .
}

private ArrayList coins;
}

Use the following class as your tester class:

/**
This class tests the Purse class.
*/
public class PurseTester
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
   Purse p = new Purse();
   p.addCoin("Quarter");
   p.addCoin("Dime");
   p.addCoin("Nickel");
   p.addCoin("Dime");
   System.out.println("Original purse: " + p.toString());
   System.out.println("Expected: Purse[Quarter,Dime,Nickel,Dime]");
   p.reverse();
   System.out.println("Reversed purse: " + p.toString());
   System.out.println("Expected: Purse[Dime,Nickel,Dime,Quarter]");
}
}

Make an array of 3 zoo objects. Add 3 animal objects to each ArrayList in the Zoo. Keep track of three things about each animal.

The zoo class will have a constructor that reads in an arraylist of 3 animals. You decide what you want to keep track of with the animals.

Can anyone make sense of the recursive algorithm?

2009-03-25T20:56:00.000-07:00

I was working on this problem:

A permutation is an ordered arrangement of objects. For example, 3124 is one possible permutation of the digits 1, 2, 3 and 4. If all of the permutations are listed numerically or alphabetically, we call it lexicographic order. The lexicographic permutations of 0, 1 and 2 are:

012 021 102 120 201 210

What is the millionth lexicographic permutation of the digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9?

and I found this page:

http://www.cut-the-knot.org/do_you_know/AllPerm.shtml

"Recursive algorithm

The recursive algorithm is short and mysterious. It's executed with a call visit(0). Global variable level is initialized to -1 whereas every entry of the array Value is initialized to 0.

     void visit(int k)
    {
  level = level+1; Value[k] = level;    // = is assignment

if (level == N) // == is comparison
AddItem(); // to the list box
else
for (int i = 0; i < N; i++)
if (Value[i] == 0)
visit(i);

level = level-1; Value[k] = 0;
}

"

Can anyone make sense of this?

CarCustomers Minor Project

2009-03-18T17:00:00.000-07:00

Today you are going to make a GUI application to keep track of the Name, Phone, Address, and whether a user has made a previous purchase before.

You can use a 3 Strings and a boolean.

Add the information to an ArrayList.

Have a button that will show the information that user has entered.

Four people finished it in class. Everyone else should upload it to their FTP space before March 25, 2009.

I will be in the computer lab (6103) at 2:30 on Friday to help people with this!

Hope to see you there.

INSERT INTO address_books (first_name,last_name,phone_number) VALUES ('David','Freer','786-877-4573')";

-------Next, create a database for students using MySQL and a table with some information.

Then create a java program (using Netbeans) and show you are able to update it and delete data from the database.

Work with another classmate and upload it to your FTP space. However, when you finish call me over and I'll grade it in class.If you need numbers, you can use INT this.

Major Assignment 3 Due

2009-02-18T19:57:00.000-08:00

Exercise P10.5
Make a class Employee with a name and salary. Make a class Manager inherit from Employee. Add an instance field, named department, of type String. Supply a method toString that prints the manager's name, department, and salary. Make a class Executive inherit from Manager. Supply appropriate toString methods for all classes. Supply a test program that tests these classes and methods.

Use the following class as your tester class:

/**
  This program tests the Employee class and its subclasses.
*/
public class EmployeeTester
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
     Employee e = new Employee(''Edgar'', 65000);
     Manager m = new Manager(''Mary'', 85000, ''Engineering'');
     Executive v = new Executive(''Veronica'', 105000, ''Engineering'');
     System.out.println(e);
     System.out.println(''Expected: Employee[name=Edgar,salary=65000.0]'');
     System.out.println(m);
     System.out.println(''Expected: Manager[super=Employee[
           name=Mary,salary=85000.0],department=Engineering]'');
     System.out.println(v);
     System.out.println(''Expected: Executive[super=Manager[
           super=Employee[name=Veronica,salary=105000.0],
           department=Engineering]]'');
  }
}

Exercise P10.6

Write a superclass Worker and subclasses HourlyWorker and SalariedWorker. Every worker has a name and a salary rate. Write a method computePay(int hours) that computes the weekly pay for every worker. An hourly worker gets paid the hourly wage for the actual number of hours worked, if hours is at most 40. If the hourly worker worked more than 40 hours, the excess is paid at time and a half. The salaried worker gets paid the hourly wage for 40 hours, no matter what the actual number of hours is. Supply a test program that uses polymorphism to test these classes and methods.

Use the following class as your tester class:

/**
  This class tests class Worker and its subclasses.
*/
public class WorkerTester
{
  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
     Worker s = new SalariedWorker(''Sally'', 40);
     Worker h = new HourlyWorker(''Harry'', 40);
     System.out.println(s.computePay(30));
     System.out.println(''Expected: 1600'');
     System.out.println(h.computePay(30));
     System.out.println(''Expected: 1200'');
     System.out.println(s.computePay(50));
     System.out.println(''Expected: 1600'');
     System.out.println(h.computePay(50));
     System.out.println(''Expected: 2200'');
  }
}
