Lab 4

Inheritance and Interface

==================================================================

Learning Outcomes:

Upon successful completion of this workshop, you will have demonstrated the abilities
to:

 Design and implement classes in the “is-a” relationship and implement interface..
 Practice casting
 Describe to your instructor what you have learned in completing this workshop.

Requirements:

To complete this task you should read and study the lecture Inheritance and Interface

Step 1: Create a new project named “Q1”.

Step 2: Create a package named “DTO”, it contains some files: IIo.java, Item.java,
Vase.java, and Painting.java

Step 3: Create a package named “Utility”, it contains files: IUtility.java, and

Utility.java

Step 4: Create a java class named “Main”.

 Implement the class diagram as follows:

<interface> <interface>
IIo IUtility

+void input(Scanner sc); +int getInt(Scanner sc, String msg, int min, int max);
+void output(); +String getString(Scanner sc, String msg, boolean isEmpty, String pattern);

Item Utility

#value: int +getInt(Scanner sc, String msg, int min, int max)
#creator: String +getString(Scanner sc, String msg, boolean isEmpty, String pattern)

+Item()
+Item(int, String)
+getters/setters
+output():void
+input(Scanner):void

Vase

-height: int
-material: String
+Vase()
+Vase(int, String, int, String)
+getters/setters
+output():void
+Input(Scanner): void
Painting
-height: int
-width: int
-isWatercolour: boolean
-isFramed: boolean
+Painting()
+Painting(int, String, int, int,
boolean, boolean )
+getters/setters
+output():void
+input(Scanner):void

Main

+main():void

Represents relationship of making use.

Requirement:

2
1. In the file IIo.java: Declares interface IIo:
 Method void input(Scanner sc);
 Method void output();

2. In the file Item.java: Declares Item class that implements interface IIo.
 The method input(Scanner sc): Using methods of Utility class to
input all fields of the Item class. Verify: value from 1 to 100, creator is not
empty

 The method output(): print out all fields

3. In the file Vase.java: Declares Vase class.

 The method input(Scanner sc): Using methods of Utility class to input
all fields of the Vase class. Verify: height from 1 to 100, metarial is not empty
 The method output(): print out all fields of the Vase class
Hint:
public class Vase{
…
public void input(Scanner sc){
input(sc); // call the inherited method
….

}
public void output(){
output(); // call the inherited method
System.out.println(“Height:” + height);
System.out.println(“Material:”+ material);
}
…
}

3. You do the same for Painting class

Verify: height from 1 to 100, width from 1 to 100

4. In file IUtility.java: Declares IUtility interface:

int getInt(Scanner sc, String msg, int min, int max);

It allows the user to enter an integer from min to max.

public static String getString(Scanner sc, String msg, String pattern);

It allows the user to enter a string that must matche with the given pattern.

3
5. In file Utility.java: Declares Utility class that implements IUtility interface.

6. In the file “Main.java”. you type like as follow:

public class Main {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Item item=null;
int choice=0;
Scanner sc = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("1. Create a Vase:");
System.out.println("2. Create a Painting:");
Utility utility = new Utility();
choice = utility.getInt(sc, "Enter choice (1-2):", 1, 2);
switch(choice){
case 1:
item = new Vase();
((Vase)item).input(sc);
break;
case 2:
item =new Painting();
((Painting) item).input(sc);
break;
}
if(item!=null){
System.out.println("OUTPUT:");
if(item instanceof Vase)
{
System.out.println("Vase's information:");
((Vase) item).output();
}
else if(item instanceof Painting)
{
System.out.println("Painting's information:");
((Painting) item).output();
}
}
else System.out.println("you need to create an object");

}
}
Your program output looks like as below:
Case: choice = 1:
1. Create a Vase:
2. Create a Painting:
Enter choice (1-2):0
Enter choice (1-2):1
Enter value (1-100):10
Enter creator (not empty):
Enter creator (not empty):Hoa Phat
Enter height (1-100):10
Enter material (not empty):
Enter material (not empty):Glass
OUTPUT:
Vase's information:
Value: 10
Creator: Hoa Phat

4
Height: 10
Material: Glass

Case: choice = 2:
1. Create a Vase:
2. Create a Painting:
Enter choice (1-2):2
Enter value (1-100):10
Enter creator (not empty):Hoa Phat
Enter height (1-100):10
Enter width (1-100):10
Enter isWatercolour (1-true, 0-false):-1
Enter isWatercolour (1-true, 0-false):1
Enter isFramed (1-true, 0-false):1
OUTPUT:
Painting's information:
Value: 10
Creator: Hoa Phat
Height: 10
Width: 10
isWatercolour: Yes
isFramed: Yes
