Lab Tasks 7

This document outlines 3 tasks related to object-oriented programming concepts in Java: 1. Creating an Employee class with a static ID field to track all employees at a company. 2. Creating Vehicle and subtype classes (Car, Truck) demonstrating inheritance with an additional field in the subtypes. 3. Creating a banking system with abstract BankAccount class and subtype classes (CheckingAccount, SavingsAccount, CertificateOfDeposit) extending it with account-specific fields and methods.

OOP Java Lab Tasks 7: Access Modifiers, Inheritance,

TypeCasting

Task-1: Class Level Attributes (static attributes):


Fields/Methods that are declared as static are shared by all instances of that class.
Consider a system to maintain the information of all employees at the company. Create a class
Employee to store the information of all employees. Assign a unique ID to each incoming em-
ployee. Total number of employees should be known to all employees working at the company.
Think about how we can share this information.

Task-2: Vehicle Example Inheritance

public class Vehicle {


protected String licensePlate = null;

public void setLicensePlate(String license) {


this.licensePlate = license;
}
}

• Design child class Card and Truck with an additional field of your own choice.

Task-3: Inheritance (Banking System Example)


Fields/Methods that are declared as protected in the parent class are also visible to all
instances of that child class. In the example of the BankAccount below, think about if all fields /
methods that need to be declared protected or for methods thus to be overridden.
In last lab, we designed a class called BankAccount that allowed deposits and withdraws to an
account. Following on that, lets extend to a complete Banking System.

Start a new project called BankManager that will contain the following classes:
CheckingAccount
SavingsAccount
CertificateOfDeposit
Make sure they all extend from the same class called BankAccount that includes all the com-
mon fields. For each type of account, think about the details of how they function. What fields
need to be declared in the parent class and what fields/methods should be specific to the child
classes.

Follow these steps and check them once you're done to complete this exercise:
1. Create a new class called BankAccount with account and balance fields.
2. Create deposit() and withdraw() methods to make changes to account balance.
3. Override a toString() method to display the fields of class BankAccount.
4. Create a new class called CheckingAccount that extends BankAccount with an extra field
called as limit.
5. Repeat the same for SavingsAccount and CertificateOfDeposit as in Step.2 above.
6. For child classes, override methods of parent classes as necessary.

In the main method, create an instance of each of the 3 child classes. Make sure you can ac-
cess the account and balance fields (set them and read them) for all account types.

Good Luck!
