Freezing and Boiling Points
The following table lists the freezing and boiling points of several substances.
Substance | Freezing Point | Boiling Point |
Ethyl Alcohol | −173 | 172 |
Oxygen | −362 | −306 |
Water | 32 | 212 |
Design a class that stores a temperature in a temperature field and has the appropriate accessor and mutator methods for the field. In addition to appropriate constructors, the class should have the following methods:
- isEthylFreezing. This method should return the boolean value true if the temperature stored in the temperature field is at or below the freezing point of ethyl alcohol. Otherwise, the method should return false.
- isEthylBoiling. This method should return the boolean value t rue if the temperature stored in the temperature field is at or above the boiling point of ethyl alcohol. Otherwise, the method should return false.
- isOxygenFreezing. This method should return the boolean value true if the temperature stored in the temperature field is at or below the freezing point of oxygen. Otherwise, the method should return false.
- isOxygenBoiling. This method should return the boolean value true if the temperature stored in the temperature field is at or above the boiling point of oxygen. Otherwise, the method should return false.
- isWaterFreezing. This method should return the boolean value true if the temperature stored in the temperature field is at or below the freezing point of water. Otherwise, the method should return false.
- isWaterBoiling. This method should return the boolean value true if the temperature stored in the temperature field is at or above the boiling point of water. Otherwise, the method should return false.
