[SOLVED] Ics 141 – 2 lab 5: class, objects, methods in java.

Goals: Implement and invoke methods
The goal of ‘Lab5’ is to help reinforce Class(es), Objects and Methods.
Part 1: Describing a class
1. Find an object in the real-world; your object cannot be a Car, an Animal a Book or any of the
objects covered in class or any of the recordings.
2. Create a Class with the name of your object.
3. Describe the class by adding 3 instance variables.
4. Add a parameterized Constructor that takes in 3 inputs to initialize the instance variables.
5. Add Getters and Setters for all the variables.
6. Add a toString() method to print the details of your object.
Part 2: Programmer Design methods
1. Considering the real-world object you selected in Part1, create 4 additional methods.
a. One method of type void.
b. One method of type int.
c. One of type String.
d. One Static method to be call on the class.
Part 3: Creating objects
1. Create a ThingDriver class. (*the driver class is the name of your object + the word Driver)
2. Instantiate 2 objects using the parameterized constructor.
3. Print the details of both objects.
Part 4: Respond to these questions in your code using comments
1. What are the similarities between a Class, Object and Method?
2. What are the differences between a Class, Object and Method?
3. What is the importance of using a UML?
4. What happens when we add static to a method?
5. Can we instantiate an object if our class doesn’t have a constructor? What does adding a
constructor to a class do?
6. How is a constructor different from a class?
Part 4: Respond to the questions in your code – do some research
1. Right click on the src folder and export your code. Create a zip with your name i.e.
DillonLab5 and upload it to D2L Lab5 drop box.
