1st Assignment Fall2014

The document describes an assignment to design classes for different types of reading materials like books, novels, magazines, etc. It includes attributes like number of pages and character names. Methods print appropriate messages. A main driver class instantiates and exercises the classes. A sample code is provided to create Book, Novel, Textbook and Magazine classes that extend a base ReadingMatter class. The main method creates objects of these classes and calls their content() method. The second part of the assignment asks to create a Book class that tracks book details like title, author and ID. It provides various constructors and methods like getters, setters, equals, toString and getInitials. A test driver class takes user

Assignment 1 Fall 2014

Question 1
 
 
Design and implement a set of classes that define various types of reading
material: books, novels, magazines, technical journals, text- books, and so on.
Include data values that describe various attributes of the material, such as
the number of pages and the names of the primary characters. Include
methods that are named appropriately for each class and that print an
appropriate message. Create a main driver class to instantiate and exercise
several of the classes. [assume all fields are private]

Question 2

Write a class named Book that keeps track of book objects such that the
instance data contains the book’s title and author and a unique identification
number, say id that starts form 1 for the first book object and is incremented
by 1 each time a new book with at least the title specified is created. The
required methods in the Book class are as follows:

• 3 constructors: One without parameters that sets the title and author to
“unknown” and id to 0; one with a single parameter that sets the title
to the given value as parameter, sets the author to “unknown”,
increments the sequence by 1 and sets id to this sequence number;
one with two parameters for title and author, setting the corresponding
instance data, and id as in the second constructor.
• The setter methods for title and author.
• The getter methods for title, author, and id.
• The equals method that compares the current book object with
another Book object given as a parameter and returns true if both
objects have the same title and author properties, and false otherwise.
• The toString method that returns a text including the book’s title,
author and id. Refer to the sample execution window for the test
program for details.
• The get Initials method that returns the initial letters of the author’s
first name(s) and last name, if the author’s name is known (not equal to
“unknown”, or not null).Assume that there can be at most two names
and one surname separated by a single blank. Refer to the sample
execution window for the test program for details.

Write a driver class that tests the Book class. Allow the user to enter as many
book objects as s/he wants. Take care of necessary object initializations. Store
the first and last book objects separately. Print each book object. Compare
the first and last book objects, if any, and display a proper message if they are
the same. Display the last book’s author’s initials, if the user has input any
valid book object.
