Chapter 6, Problem 7P

We can improve the Beer class from the previous Practice Program by using principles of information hiding. The instance variable percent holds the percent of alcohol in the beer. If this variable is public, then someone might enter the alcohol percentage the wrong way. For example, if the alcohol percentage is 5% then someone might set the variable to 5.0 instead of 0.05 that the program expects. As a result, the program would compute that someone would be legally intoxicated after a miniscule sip of beer.

Address this problem by adding or modifying the mutator method, setAlcohol. If the variable that is being set is over 1 then set the alcohol variable to the incoming value divided by 100. Otherwise set the alcohol variable to the incoming value. You should also do this check for the percentage set by the constructor Test your program by sett1ng the percent alcohol to 5 0 and to 0 05 The results should be unchanged.

This may make more sense if I show you a sample run of a program that implements the wizard shown above: Do you want to buy a snowboard? no Do you want to buy downhill skis? yes Have you gone skiing before? yes Are you an expert? no Buy the ZR200 model. Notice how a series of questions is asked by the wizard and answered by the shopper. When there are no more questions to be asked, the conclusion is printed by the wizard and the program exits. The series of questions asked by the wizard closely follows the rules in the flow chart.   A Decision object represents a triangle in the flow cart. The Decision object asks a question and then returns either the next decision in the flow chart, or a message that should be printed before the program terminates. This is an example of the Composite design pattern because a Decision object contains other Decision objects. Here is a description of the methods in the IDecision interface: public void setYes(IDecision yes): Specifies the IDecision that…
For your first program, you are to write a simple Dodgeball simulation. In this simulation, we will have nplayers, and one ball. One player, the "thrower," will have the ball. The thrower will throw the ball at anotherplayer, the "target." The target could catch the ball, could be hit by the ball, or the ball could completely missthe target. If the target catches the ball, then the thrower is out of the game (and the target becomes the nextthrower.) If the ball hits the target, then the target is out of the game. If the ball misses the target, neitherplayer is out. In the latter two cases, any one can pick up the ball and become the next thrower. The game isover when only one player is left.In this simple version, the players (initially n players) will stand in a circle. The thrower will always countthe players to his/her right, and then throw the ball at the dth player, who becomes the target. The target willalways catch the ball, so that the thrower will be out of the game (and will…
Read the following scenario: To implement an exam, an instructor first notifies the students of the exam date and the topics to be covered. The instructor will prepare the exam paper, gets it copied to produce enough copies for the class, and hands it out to students at the designated time and location. The students attempt their answers to exam questions and hand in their answer papers to the instructor. The instructor then gives the answer papers to the tutor, along with sample solutions to each question, and gets them to mark it. The tutor will then records all the marks and return the answer papers to the students. After the answer papers have been returned to the students, they can raise any issues or queries about the marks they received. The instructor then reviews these queries/issues and decides whether marks adjustments are needed. If there are marks adjustments, the instructor will request the tutor to make the necessary changes in the marks record. Draw a sequence diagram…
