You will need to create a class called UserAccount to represent an account on a social networking site. We will use this class for later assignments in the course. Your class should have the following fields and methods:

Fields:

private String username
private String password
private boolean active // indicates whether or not the account is currently active

Methods

UserAccount(String username, String password) // constructor to initialize the username and password, make the account active
public boolean checkPassword(String password) // return true if the argument is the same as this account's password, false otherwise
public void deactivateAccount() // make this account inactive

As explained in this lesson's videos, create a toString method that displays the username of this account. Also, create hashCode and equals methods that consider two UserAccount objects to be equivalent if they have the same username. Write a driver program that creates at least two UserAccount objects and exercises all of the methods in the class. See the xBankDriver class in this week's jar file for an example.

You will be graded according to the rubric (each item is worth one point):

  • The UserAccount class has the requested fields and methods
  • The constructor initialize the fields as specified in the requirements
  • The checkPassword method works correctly for positive and negative test cases
  • The deactivateAccount method sets the active field to false
  • The toString method is correct and gets automatically called by System.out.println in the driver program
  • The equals method is correct
  • The driver program creates at least two UserAccount objects
  • The driver program exercises all the methods in the UserAccount class
  • The program compiles and runs
  • The program is clearly written and follows standard coding conventions
