Problem Description: For this Lab you have to implement a class Person. A person has a fistname, lastname, address, and birthday year. Supply a constructor and the following methods: getName(), getAge(), getAddress, and changeAddress(),.
Step 1: Getting Started Create a class called Lab6. Be sure to name your file Lab6.java. Lab Documentation:
At the beginning of each programming assignment you must have a comment block with the following information:
/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// AUTHOR: your name
// FILENAME: title of the source file
// SPECIFICATION: description of the program
// FOR: CSE 110- Lab #6
// TIME SPENT: how long it took you to complete the assignment //-----------------------------------------------------------*/
Step 2: Declaring Class Examining the problem, we need to create a Person class, declare Person class as follows
class Person {
}
Inside the class, declare some data members: a string variable called firstname, a string variable called lastname, and an integer called birthYear.
// declare some variables of different types:
// an string called firstname
//-->
// a string called lastname
//-->
// a string called address
//-->
// an int called birthYear
//-->
Step 3: Defining the constructor Remember the constructor assigns input data to the data members.
public Person (String fname, String lname, String
addr, int year)
{
// write the segment of code
//that assigns input data to the data members
}
Step4: Supply the methods
A method called getName() to get the name of an object Person:
public String getName()
{
// write a line of code
//that returns the last name
}
A method called getAge() to get the age of an object Person:
public int getAge(int currentYear)
{
// write a segment of code
//that returns the age
}
A method called getAddress() to get the age of an object Person:
public String getAddress()
{
// write a line of code
//that returns the address
}
A method called changeAddress(String addr) to change the address of an object Person:
public String changeAddress(String addr)
{
// write the segment of code
//that updates the address
}
Step4: Calling the constructor of Person class from the main method
In order to use Person class variables and methods we need to have a runner function. For any class in java, main method will be the running method.
You class Lab6 will have the main method.
public class Lab6{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
}
}
In order to use the Person class variables and methods, you need to use the constructor to create an object Person.
public class Lab6{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
//declare variables where you will store
//inputs from user
-->
// declare a Scanner object
-->
//prompt the user for inputs
//firstname, lastname, address, birthyear
-->
// store the input in the declared variables
-->
//use the constructor
//to create a brand-new object Person
-->
Hint: Do not forget to import the Scanner package at the very top of your program: Import java.util.Scanner
Step6: Calling Person class methods and display the output
The methods in the Person class will display the required outputs.
