Solved–Homework 6 –Solution

A setter method to change the AstronomicalObjects name.

A properly overridden toString method that returns a string representation of the AstronomicalObject. This should just return the name + ”.”

2.2 Star

A star is the center of any planetary system. For our purposes, a red star cannot be the sun of your planetary system (i.e. the star cannot have planets).

This class has an ”is-a” relationship with AstronomicalObject. Instance variables:

– An appropriately-typed variable color, which will represent the color of the star.

– An appropriately-typed variable isSun, that represents whether or not this instance of Star can be a Sun.

A constructor that takes the name of the star and the id of the color of the star. This constructor should not repeat code from its parent.

A method that uses the methods provided in the Color enum to get the Color by the id passed in. After assigning the color, remember to set the isSun variable accordingly.

A properly overridden toString method that returns the String representation of the Star instance. Should have the format of ”Star [name]. Color: [color]. [statement on whether it cant or cannot have planets]”.

Appropriate getters and setters.

2.3 Planet

This class has an ”is-a” relationship with AstronomicalObject. Instance variables:

– An appropriately-typed variable radius, which will represent the radius in km. of the planet. Remember this is a value that cannot be changed, so consider that in your typing.

– An appropriately-typed variable orbitCount, that represents how many orbits this planet has made.

A constructor that takes in the name of the planet, the radius of the planet and the current orbitCount. This constructor should not repeat code from its parent.

A properly overridden toString method that returns the String representation of the Planet instance. Should have the format of ”Planet [supers toString]. Radius: [radius]. Orbits completed: [orbitCount]”.

An orbit method that will make the planet orbit once around its Sun by incrementing the orbitCount variable.

Appropriate getters and setters.

2.4 GasGiant

This class has an ”is-a” relationship with Planet. Instance variables

– An appropriately-typed variable numStorms, that represents the number of anticyclonic storms this in-stance of GasGiant has (like Jupiters Great Red Spot!).

A constructor that takes in and sets all instance data. This constructor needs to make use of code in its parent.

A properly overridden orbit method that has the same functionality as Planets method, and adds three storms to the Planet by incrementing the numStorms variable.

A properly overridden toString method that returns the String representation of the Planet instance. Should have the format of ”Gas Giant [supers toString]. Number of storms: [numStorms]”.

Appropriate getters and setters.

2.5 RockyPlanet

This class has an ”is-a” relationship with Planet. Instance variables:

– An appropriately-typed variable hasLife, that represents whether this instance of RockyPlanet has the conditions to for living beings to exist.

A constructor that takes in and sets all instance data. This constructor needs to make use of code in its parent.

A properly overridden orbit method that has the same functionality as Planets method, and toggles the hasLife variable (if true set to false, and vice versa.).

A properly overridden toString method that returns the String representation of the Planet instance. Should have the format of ”RockyPlanet [supers toString]. [statement on whether it can or cannot have life]”.

Appropriate getters and setters

• Javadocs

For this assignment you will be commenting your code with Javadocs. Javadocs are a clean and useful way to doc-ument your code’s functionality. For more information on what Javadocs are and why they are awesome, the online documentation for them is very detailed and helpful.

You can generate the javadocs for your code using the command below, which will put all the files into a folder called javadoc:

$ javadoc _*.java -d javadoc

The relevant tags that you need to have are @author, @version, @param, and @return. Here is an example of a properly Javadoc’d class:

import java.util.Scanner;

^/**

• This class represents a Dog object.

• @author George P. Burdell

• @version 13.31

*^/

public class Dog {

^/**

• Creates an awesome dog (NOT a dawg!)

*^/

public Dog(){

…

}

^/**

• This method takes in two ints and returns their sum

• @param a first number

• @param b second number

• @return sum of a and b

*^/

public int add(int a, int b){

…

}

}

The message above means there were no Checkstyle errors. If you had any errors, they would show up above this message, and the number at the end would be the points we would take off.

The Java source files we provide contain no Checkstyle errors. For this assignment, there will be a maximum of 20 points lost due to Checkstyle errors (1 point per error). In future homeworks we will be increasing this cap, so get into the habit of fixing these style errors early!

• Turn-in Procedure

Non-compiling or missing submissions will receive a zero. NO exceptions

Submit all of the Java source files you modified and resources your program requires to run to T-Square. Do not submit any compiled bytecode (.class files) or the Checkstyle jar file. When you’re ready, double-check that you have submitted and not just saved a draft.

Please remember to run your code through Checkstyle!

5.1 Verify the Success of Your Submission to T-Square

Practice safe submission! Verify that your HW files were truly submitted correctly, the upload was successful, and that the files compile and run. It is solely your responsibility to turn in your homework and practice this safe submission safeguard.

1. After uploading the files to T-Square you should receive an email from T-Square listing the names of the files that were uploaded and received. If you do not get the confirmation email almost immediately, something is wrong with your HW submission and/or your email. Even receiving the email does not guarantee that you turned in exactly what you intended.

2. After submitting the files to T-Square, return to the Assignment menu option and this homework. It should show the submitted files.

3. Download copies of your submitted files from the T-Square Assignment page placing them in a new folder.

4. Recompile and test those exact files.

5. This helps guard against a few things.

1. 1. It helps insure that you turn in the correct files.

1. 2. It helps you realize if you omit a file or files. ¹ (If you do discover that you omitted a file, submit all of your files again, not just the missing one.)

1. 3. Helps find last minute causes of files not compiling and/or running.

• Missing files will not be given any credit, and non-compiling homework solutions will receive few to zero points. Also recall that late homework will not be accepted regardless of excuse. Treat the due date with respect. The real due date is midnight. Do not wait until the last minute!
