Temperature Class

Write a Temperature class that will hold a temperature in Fahrenheit, and provide methods to get the temperature in Fahrenheit, Celsius, and Kelvin. The class should have the following field:

  • fahrenheit – A double that holds a Fahrenheit temperature.

The class should have the following methods:

  • Constructor – The constructor accepts a Fahrenheit temperature (as a double) and stores it in the ftemp field.
  • setFahrenheit – The setFahrenheit method accepts a Fahrenheit temperature (as a double) and stores it in the ftemp field.
  • getFahrenheit – Returns the value of the ftemp field, as a Fahrenheit temperature (no conversion required).
  • celsius – Returns the value of the ftemp field converted to Celsius.
  • kelvin – Returns the value of the ftemp field converted to Kelvin.

Use the following formula to convert the Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius:

  C e l s i u s = ( ( 5 / 9 ) × ( F a h r e n h e i t 32 )

Use the following formula to convert the Fahrenheit temperature to Kelvin:

  K e l v i n = ( ( 5 / 9 )   × ( F a h r e n h e i t 32 ) ) + 273

Demonstrate the Temperature class by writing a separate program that asks the user for a Fahrenheit temperature. The program should create an instance of the Temperature class, with the value entered by the user passed to the constructor. The program should then call the object’s methods to display the temperature in Celsius and Kelvin.

In Java Language Create a CheckingAccount class to represent a checking account This class inherits from the Account class that you've created so far and has one new attribute, the overdraft limit, specifying how much the account can be overdrawn by. For example, if you have $100 in the account and you try to withdraw $150. This would be fine, if your overdraft limit was $50, meaning you can overdraw your account by $50 without penalty. Note: All you're doing at this stage is creating the limit, don't worry about dealing with the overdraft yet. You just want a variable at this stage. Your CheckingAccount class should also have getters and setters for the overdraft attribute and a constructor, but keep in mind how constructors work with inheritance. No other methods or adjustments are to be made at this time. Write a driver (or use your existing one) to test your CheckingAccount class by creating at least 1 instance and printing out its overdraft limit by using the getter.
A Door Class A computer game usually has many different objects that can be seen and manipulated. One typical object is a door. Whether a player runs through a castle, attacks the forces of an evil empire, or places furniture in a room, a door often comes into play. Implement a Door class as described below as well as a TestDoor class that instantiates three Door objects labeled “Enter,” “Exit,” and “Treasure.” The “Enter” door should be left unlocked and opened. The “Exit” door should be left closed and locked. The “Treasure” door should be left open but locked. A Door class A Door object can • display an inscription, • be either open or closed, and • be either locked or unlocked. Here are some rules about how Door’s work. • Once the writing on a Door is set, it cannot be changed. • You may open a Door if and only if it is unlocked and closed. • You may close a Door if and only if it is open. • You may lock a Door if and only if it is unlocked, and unlock a Door if…
Create a Class Pet with the following data members  Identification: String  species : String (e.g. cat, dog, fish etc)  breed: String  Age (in days): int   Weight: float   Dead: boolean  1. Provide a constructor with parameters for all instance variables.  2. Provide getters for all and setters for only breed, and weight  3. Provide a method growOld() that increases the age of the pet by one day. A dead pet wont grow old 4. Provide a method growHealthy(float w) that increases the weight of the pet by the given amount w. A dead pet cannot grow healthy. 5. Provide a method fallSick(float w) that reduces the weight of the pet by the given amount. The least weight a pet can have is 0 which will mean that the pet has died. If the value of weigh is 10 kg and the method is called with an argument of 11 kg then you will set it to 0 and set the dead to an appropriate value to mark the death of the pet 6. Provide a toString method that shows an appropriate well formatted string…
