I have an abstract class and and few subclasses, and a main class
I am have array of shapes and trying to sort the array in descending order of area using comparable
I have a code so far for comparable but it would not sort and would not print .
SHAPE ABSTRACT CLASS
import java.text.*;
public abstract class shape implements Comparable<shape> {
private int id;
private String label;
private static int counter = 1; // to keep count and unique over all classes
private static DecimalFormat df2 = new DecimalFormat("#.##");
public shape(String label) {
this.id = counter;
counter ++ ; //this is counter for unique id can also have a default constructor seperate for count
this.label = label;
}
public int getId() {
return id;
}
public String getLabel() {
return label;
}
public interface Comparable {
public int compareTo(shape o);
}
public int compareTo(shape o) {
if (this.CalcArea() > o.CalcArea())
return 1;
else if (this.CalcArea() < o.CalcArea())
return -1;
else
return 0;
}
//to calculate area= abstract method
public abstract double CalcArea(); // this is the prototype and has to be used once in derived classes
public String toString() {
//df2.format(CalcArea())
return "ID " + this.id + ": the shape is " + label + " and the area calculated is "+
df2.format(CalcArea());
}
}
// DRIVER MAIN CLASS
import java.util.*;
public class DrawingApp {
/*public DrawingApp() {
}*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
int shapeType;
int i; //two for loops so better here
//next gaussian if using double
shape[] shaper = new shape[10]; //instantiating array object not the shape
Random num = new Random();
Random num1 = new Random(); //*100 + 1
for ( i = 0; i < 10 ; i++) {
shapeType = num.nextInt()% 2 ;
if(shapeType == 0 ) {
shaper[i] = new circle((num1.nextDouble()*9)+1); //can use random as the shapes are created randomly and array of ten
}else if(shapeType == 1) {
shaper[i] = new Rectangle((num1.nextDouble()*9)+1,(num1.nextDouble()*9)+1);
}else {
shaper[i] = new Triangle((num1.nextDouble()*9)+1,(num1.nextDouble()*9)+1);
}
}
for ( i = 0; i < 10 ; i ++) {
shaper[i].CalcArea();
}
for(shape s : shaper){
System.out.println(s);
}
}
}
Considering that your Circle, Rectangle and Triangle classes are correctly implemented, add the line Arrays.sort(shaper); to sort the array. It will use your Shape's compareTo method to sort the shapes by area. As is, I do not see any attempt at sorting.
The for-loop where you call CalcArea() method also seems to do nothing, since you never use the return values.

Java error: constructor in class cannot be applied to given types
(3 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
I have a three classes, one to demo and another to extend the first. Everything compiles when in the demo is gives me this error:
EssayDemo.java:11: error: constructor Essay in class Essay cannot be applied to given types;
Essay termPaper = new Essay();
^
required: int,int,int,int
The four ints are Grammar, Spelling, Length, and Content. I set them up but they don't construct an object properly.
This might have been easier if it weren't for the fact that I have to use two classes that I didn't write. Here are the two specific pieces of code. Here's the essayDemo.java:
/**
This program demonstrates a solution to
the Essay Class programming challenge.
*/
public class EssayDemo
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// Create an Essay object.
Essay termPaper = new Essay();
// Assign scores to the object.
// Grammer = 25 points, Spelling = 18 points,
// Length = 20 points, and Content = 25 points.
termPaper.setScore(25.0, 18.0, 20.0, 25.0);
// Display the score details.
System.out.println("Term paper:");
System.out.println("Grammar points: " + termPaper.getGrammar());
System.out.println("Spelling points: " + termPaper.getSpelling());
System.out.println("Length points: " + termPaper.getCorrectLength());
System.out.println("Content points: " + termPaper.getContent());
System.out.println("Total points: " + termPaper.getScore());
System.out.println("Grade: " + termPaper.getGrade());
}
}
And here's the gradedActivity.java:
/**
The GradedActivity class stores data about a graded
activity for the Essay Class programming challenge.
*/
public class GradedActivity
{
private double score; // Numeric score
/**
The setScore method sets the score field.
#param s The value to store in score.
*/
public void setScore(double s)
{
score = s;
}
/**
The getScore method returns the score.
#return The value stored in the score field.
*/
public double getScore()
{
return score;
}
/**
The getGrade method returns a letter grade
determined from the score field.
#return The letter grade.
*/
public char getGrade()
{
char letterGrade;
if (score >= 90)
letterGrade = 'A';
else if (score >= 80)
letterGrade = 'B';
else if (score >= 70)
letterGrade = 'C';
else if (score >= 60)
letterGrade = 'D';
else
letterGrade = 'F';
return letterGrade;
}
}
Here's the code I've written to extend it:
public class Essay extends GradedActivity
{
private final int grammarPossible = 30;
private final int spellingPossible = 20;
private final int lengthPossible = 20;
private final int contentPossible = 30;
private final int overallPossible = 100;
private int grammarGrade;
private int spellingGrade;
private int lengthGrade;
private int contentGrade;
private int overallGrade;
public Essay(int grammar, int spelling, int length, int content){
setGrammarGrade(grammar);
setSpellingGrade(spelling);
setLengthGrade(length);
setContentGrade(content);
setOverallGrade();
setScore(getOverallGrade());
}
public int getGrammarGrade(){
return grammarGrade;
}
public void setGrammarGrade(int grammarGrade){
this.grammarGrade = grammarGrade;
}
public int getSpellingGrade(){
return spellingGrade;
}
public void setSpellingGrade(int spellingGrade){
this.spellingGrade = spellingGrade;
}
public int getLengthGrade(){
return lengthGrade;
}
public void setLengthGrade(int lengthGrade){
this.lengthGrade = lengthGrade;
}
public int getContentGrade(){
return contentGrade;
}
public void setContentGrade(int contentGrade){
this.contentGrade = contentGrade;
}
public int getOverallGrade(){
return overallGrade;
}
public void setOverallGrade(){
int grades = grammarGrade + spellingGrade + lengthGrade + contentGrade;
this.overallGrade = grades;
}
public int getGrammarPossible(){
return grammarPossible;
}
public int getSpellingPossible(){
return spellingPossible;
}
public int getLengthPossible(){
return lengthPossible;
}
public int getContentPossible(){
return contentPossible;
}
public int getOverallPossible(){
return overallPossible;
}
}
I have four ints in the essay method but they aren't excepted in the constructor. Everything compiles.
required: int,int,int,int
The error is telling you that your constructor requires arguments (public Essay(int grammar, int spelling, int length, int content)). Right now you are trying to construct an Essay , but are not passing any arguments to it.
You need to provide those arguments, or provide a no args constructor:
public Essay(){}
Or if you wanted to initialize them all to zero and initialize the variables later:
Essay termPaper = new Essay(0,0,0,0);

Error in System.out.println
(5 answers)
Closed 4 years ago.
My Task:
Create a class called Icosahedron which will be used to represent a regular icosahedron, that is a convex polyhedron with 20 equilateral triangles as faces. The class should have the following features:
A private instance variable, edge, of type double, that holds the
edge
length.
A private static variable, count, of type int, that holds the
number of Icosahedron objects that have been created.
A constructor that takes one double argument which specifies the edge length.
An
instance method surface() which returns the surface area of the
icosahedron. This can be calculated using the formula 5*√3 edge².
An
instance method volume() which returns the volume of the icosahedron.
This can be calculated using the formula 5*(3+√5)/12*edge³.
An
instance method toString() which returns a string with the edge
length, surface area and volume as in the example below:
Icosahedron[edge= 3.000, surface= 77.942, volume= 58.906]
The numbers in this string should be in floating point format with a field
that is (at least) 7 characters wide and showing 3 decimal places.
Please use the static method String.format with a suitable formatting
string to achieve this. A static method getCount() which returns the
value of the static variable count.
Finally, add the following main method to your Icosahedron class so that it can be run and tested:
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Number of Icosahedron objects created: " + getCount());
Icosahedron[] icos = new Icosahedron[4];
for (int i = 0; i < icos.length; i++)
icos[i] = new Icosahedron(i+1);
for (int i = 0; i < icos.length; i++)
System.out.println(icos[i]);
System.out.println("Number of Icosahedron objects created: " + getCount());
}
Okay. so heres what i have started on:
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Icosahedron {
private double edge = 0;
private int count = 0;
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
double useredge = input.nextDouble();
System.out.println("Enter Edge Length: ");
}
i receive an error on the last line. i cant use println() what am i doing wrong? or maybe im understanding the question wrong? any guidance would be appreciated.
thanks.
Your Icosahedron class should look like the following:
public class Icosahedron {
private double edge;
private int count;
public Icosahedron(int count) {
this.count = count;
}
public double getEdge() {
return edge;
}
public void setEdge(double edge) {
this.edge = edge;
}
public int getCount() {
return count;
}
public void setCount(int count) {
this.count = count;
}
#Override
public String toString() {
return "Icosahedron{edge=" + edge + ", count=" + count + '}';
}
}
And your class containing the main method (I called it MoreProblem):
import java.util.Scanner;
public class MoreProblem {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Icosahedron[] icos = new Icosahedron[4];
for (int i = 0; i < icos.length; i++) {
icos[i] = new Icosahedron(i+1);
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter Edge Length: ");
double userEdge = input.nextDouble();
icos[i].setEdge(userEdge);
}
for (Icosahedron icosahedron : icos) {
System.out.println(icosahedron);
}
System.out.println("Number of Icosahedron objects created: " + icos.length);
}
}
i already have the athelete class and i just dont know how to go about the rest of the problem ive been trying to do things that havent work at all but heres what i have for now. im still a beginner this is my first semester taking java so i may not understand some of the things you guys will add so if u can please explain.
This is what they are asking for me to do.
Add a static method to the class which takes an array of Athletes as its argument, and returns the total number of medals won by all athletes stored in the array. test in method.
package homework;
import java.util.Arrays;
public class Athlete {
private String name; // the name of the athlete
private String sport; // the sport the athlete does
private int numMedals; // the number of medals that the athlete has won
// constructor
public Athlete(String n, String s, int num) {
name = n;
sport = s;
numMedals = num;
}
// getters and setters for all instance variables
// (also called accessors and mutators)
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public void setName(String name) {
this.name = name;
}
public String getSport() {
return sport;
}
public void setSport(String sport) {
this.sport = sport;
}
public int getNumMedals() {
return numMedals;
}
public void setNumMedals(int numMedals) {
this.numMedals = numMedals;
}
/* Returns a String with information about the athlete.
*/
public String toString() {
return name + " does " + sport + " and has won " + numMedals + " medal(s).";
}
public static void AthMedals(int[][]numMedals){
for(int i = 0; i < numMedals.length;i++){
int total = 0;
for(int j = 0; j < numMedals.length; i++);
total = numMedals.getNumMedals();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Athlete SA = new Athlete("Socrates","Baseball",5);
Athlete CC = new Athlete("Cesar","Baseball",3);
Athlete JA = new Athlete("Juan","Soccer",2);
System.out.println(SA);
System.out.println(CC);
System.out.println(JA);
System.out.println("SA has " +SA.getNumMedals()+ " medals.");
}
}
}
The assignment is to write a method like
public static int sumOfAllMedals(Athlete[] all)
which returns all[0].numMedals + all[1].numMedals + ... + all[n].numMedals.
I assume AthMedals is your attempt at doing this, but it's in fact only consuming processing power while not doing anything.
I'm not gonna do your homework for you, but here's a hint:
public static int sumOfAllMedals(Athlete[] all)
{
int total = 0;
// For every Athlete in `all`, add the number of medals (s)he's won
// Should be four lines at most ;)
return total;
}
The static method have to iterate the array and add each medals to a final return variable.
static public int totalMedals(Athlete[] athelte) {
int totalMedals = 0;
for(int i=0;i<athelte.length;i++) {
totalMedals += athelte[i].numMedals;
}
return totalMeadls;
}
I know this is homework so this may sound weird. Right now I am trying to get rid of a compile error saying pool must implement abstract methods. Pool is implemented by the BackYard interface, while deck is a subclass of pool and bollards is a subclass of deck. I am not allowed to change the code in the display output method in the driver class and I am not allowed to change code in deck or bollards. The compiler keeps insisting that I recode all the subclass methods in pool or make pool abstract which I can't do either. What exactly do I need to fix. Also let me know if I really needed to code all the get methods in the Backyard interface
Here is the driver class:

Ever signed a contract before?
This code:
public class Pool implements BackYard
is just like one. It's like Pool saying to Backyard: "Hey Backyard, I'm signing a contract that guarantees I'll create code for all the methods you have."
But Pool violated the contract.
The police (compiler) finds out about it and says: Do it buddy or make your kids do it.
Either you fullfil the contract yourself (i.e. create code for all methods mentioned in Backyard) or let your descendants be the ones to complete it (the subclasses will be the ones to add code). You're kind of "punished" - keeping you in an abstract state until the commitment is completed.
First concrete class must implement all abstract methods from its supertypes. In your case you either make Pool abstract, all implement all abstract methods from supertypes that are not already implemented.
In other words, If you allowed not abstract class Pool to have abstract methods, then client of your library could do
Pool p = new Pool();
p.getBollardHeight();
which cannot work, because this method is not implemented. If, on the other hand, you made Pool abstract, you would not be allowed to instantiate it and the problem above would not occur.
You must create all the methods you see in BackYard, inside the Pool class
