Chapter 6, Problem 3AW
Consider the following class declaration:
public class Square
{
private double sideLength;
public double getArea()
{
return sideLength * sideLength;
}
public double getSideLength()
{
return sideLength;
}
}
- a. Write a no-arg constructor for this class, it should assign the sideLength field the value 0.0.
- b. Write an overloaded constructor for this class. It should accept an argument that is copied into the sideLength field.

Consider the following class definition:
class circle { public: void print() const;
void setRadius(double);
void setCenter(double, double);
void getCenter(double&, double&);
double getRadius();
double area();
circle();
circle(double, double, double);
double, double);
private: double xCoordinate;
double yCoordinate;
double radius; }
class cylinder: public circle { public: void print() const;
void setHeight(double);
double getHeight();
double volume();
double area();
cylinder();
cylinder(double, double, private: double height; }
Suppose that you have the declaration: cylinder newCylinder;

Create member function set() in Assignment which takes three parameter ints and sets the member variables.

- It is possible for a class to have more than one constructor.A) This is correct. B) The answer is False.arrow_forwardThe Article class has a default constructor with no parameters. Define a public overloaded constructor that takes two string parameters and initializes the article's title and author with the strings. Ex: If the input is Airport Hall, then the output is: Article: Unspecified, Undefined Article: Airport, Hall Article.java public class Article { privateStringtitle; privateStringauthor; publicArticle() { // Default constructor title="Unspecified"; author="Undefined"; } /* Your code goes here */ publicvoidprint() { System.out.println("Article: "+title+", "+author); } } Archive.javaarrow_forwardDefining Classes Write and document the definition for the Product class. Each Product object has three instance variables: description, productNumber and price. The class has one constructor that takes three parameters in the order productNumber, description and price. The class has one accessor method named getCost(int qty) which returns the price for qty items of the Product. The class has two mutator methods—setPrice() and setDescription()—that modify the corresponding instance variables. The class has a toString() method that returns the Product as a String in the form: 34567: Small Toaster, $ 17.95. Note: use concatenation to construct the returned string. Do not use the String.format() method to format the returned value.arrow_forward
