Assignment Objectives

Practice on creating classes
- you will create the FootballPlayer and the Height classes
Practice on using information hiding
- FootballPlayer and Height will have private attributes and provide get/set methods
Learn how to create more complex classes
- the FootballPlayer class uses another class, Height as one of its attributes

Deliverables

A zipped Java project according to the How to submit Labs and Assignments guide.

O.O. Requirements (these items will be part of your grade)

One class, one file. Don't create multiple classes in the same .java file
Don't use static variables and methods
Encapsulation: make sure you protect your class variables and provide access to them through get and set methods
all the classes are required to have a constructor that receives all the attributes as parameters and updates the attributes accordingly
all the classes are required to have an "empty" constructor that receives no parameters but updates all the attributes as needed
Follow Horstmann's Java Language Coding Guidelines
Organized in packages (MVC - Model - View - Controller)

Start with this NetBeans project or create one with
- <default package>
  - App.java
- Model
  - Model.java
  - FootballPlayer.java
  - Height.java

Functionality

The application App creates a Model object
The Model class
- creates 3 FootballPlayer objects
- compares the height of the three FootballPlayer objects
- displays a message stating who is the tallest

The classes

App
- it has the main method which is the method that Java looks for and runs to start any application
- it creates an object (an instance) of the Model class
Model
- this is the class where all the action is going to happen
- it creates three football players and compare their heights
- displays the information for the three players as output
- displays a message stating who is taller or if they are of the same height
  - Ignore the start-up code comment and please use this requirement.
- make sure you test your application for all the possible cases
  - run your program at least 4 times, changing the heights slightly so that you can test all possibilities in your if statements.
FootballPlayer
- has the following attributes
  - int number;
  - String name;
  - String position;
  - Height height;
  - int weight;
  - String hometown;
  - String highSchool;
Height
- it is a class (or type) which is used in FootballPlayer defining the type of the attribute height
- it has two attributes
  - int feet;
  - int inches
  - it also has a method that returns a formatted string with feet and inches
    - for instance: 5'2"
    - the purpose of this method is to return a string value in this format to be displayed to the user
- Suggestion for improvement and ease of use in height comparisons:
  - Define a new get method: getHeightInInches() which returns the total height in inches

NOTE:
Be sure to copy/paste the output results of all of your test runs as a comment block in your App.java source code file. Supplying evidence of successful and complete testing of your application is always required.
