Explanation of Solution
Restrictions that are appropriate for changes in
There is a requirement for some restriction for changes in programming languages during its evolving phase as follows:
- Usually in every version of the language, a new feature is added that will be absolutely absent in its previous version. This should be avoided.
- Enhancement of an existing feature can be a good idea.
- Adding of new features in new versions make the language large, bulk and complex.
- Also, obsolete features should be removed from the revised version. Often this is not done as the existing programs would have used this.
Comparison with the evolution of Fortran:
Fortran 0 was the first Fortran version, but it continued to evolve until its release and finally, Fortran I was released.
- Fortran I allowed variable length up to six characters as this was two in Fortran 0...

1. Create a Person.java file. Implement the public Person and Student classes in Person.java, including all the variables and methods in
the UMLS.
Person
-name: String
-street: String
-city: String
+Person(String name, String, street, String, city)
+getName(): String
+setName(String name): void
+getStreet(): String
+setStreet(String street): void
+getCity(): String
+setCity(String City): void
+toString(): String
Student
-Id: int
+Person(String name, String, street, String, city, int Id)
+getId(): int
+setId(int Id): void
+toString(): String
2. Create a StudentTest.java file. Implement a public StudentTest class with a main method. In the main method, create one student
object and print the object using System.out.println().
Your printing result must follow the example output:
name: Mike, street: Morris Ave, city: Union, Id: 1000
Hint: You need to modify the toString methods in the Student class and Person class!
