Programming With Java

This document discusses testing the BasePlusCommissionEmployee class. It creates a BasePlusCommissionEmployee object with sample data and uses get methods to retrieve and display the object's instance variable values. It then uses the setBaseSalary method to change the base salary and displays the updated object values using the toString method.

digits of precision to the right of the decimal point (line 121).

Testing Class BasePlusCommissionEmployee


Figure 9.7 tests class BasePlusCommissionEmployee. Lines 9–11 create a BasePlusCom-
missionEmployee object and pass "Bob", "Lewis", "333-33-3333", 5000, .04 and 300 to
the constructor as the first name, last name, social security number, gross sales, commis-
sion rate and base salary, respectively. Lines 16–27 use BasePlusCommissionEmployee’s
get methods to retrieve the values of the object’s instance variables for output. Line 29 in-
vokes the object’s setBaseSalary method to change the base salary. Method setBaseSal-
ary (Fig. 9.6, lines 95–102) ensures that instance variable baseSalary is not assigned a
negative value. Line 33 of Fig. 9.7 invokes method toString explicitly to get the object’s
String representation.
