Question

Create a class called Elevator that can be moved between floors in an N-storey building. Elevator uses a constructor to initialize the number of floors (N) in the building when the object is instantiated.

Elevator also has a default constructor that creates a five- (5) storey building.

The Elevator class has a termination condition that requires the elevator to be moved to the main (i.e., first) floor when the object is cleaned up. Write a finalize() method that satisfies this termination condition and verifies the condition by printing a message to the output, Elevator ending: elevator returned to the first floor.

In main(), test at least five (5) possible scenarios that can occur when Elevator is used in a building with many floors (e.g., create, move from one floor to another, etc.).

 

Hint: Termination occurs when the instance is set to null. You may wish to investigate “garbage collection” for this exercise.
