In this exercise, you are going to be working with 4 classes, a Book superclass with TextBook and Novel subclasses, and a BookTester class to run your program. For the Book, TextBook, and Novel class, you will create a constructor and all getters and setters. Be sure to follow standard naming conventions for your getters and setters! Additional information for each class is below.
Book Class
The Book class will have a title and author as instance variables and the constructor should follow this format:
public Book(String title, String author)
TextBook Class
The TextBook class will have a subject and edition as instance variables and the constructor should follow this format:
public TextBook(String title, String author, String subject, String edition)
Novel Class
The Novel class will have a genre and pages as instance variables and the constructor should follow this format:
public Novel(String title, String author, String genre, int pages)
BookTester
In the tester class, you should…

- B - RobotFriend Create a RobotFriend class. RobotFriend is a new toy just on the market. Copy the starter class and the tester from Codecheck. A RobotFriend has a name and replies to various commands Provide a constructor that takes the name of the RobotFriend as a parameter. Remember that a constructor has the same name as the class. What does the class need to remember? That is the instance variable. Provide the following methods: public String getName () gets the name of this RobotFriend • public void setName (String newName) sets a new name for this RobotFriend • public String whatDoYouNeed () returns a string consisting of name + needs a battery charge" where name is the name of this RobotFriend (which was supplied in the constructor) public String doCommand (String whatToDo) returns a string consisting of "Your friend " + name + does not + whatToDo where name is the name of this RobotFriend and whatToDo is the parameterarrow_forwardWrite and document the definition for the Product class. The Product class represents an item that would appear for sale on a Web site or in a department store (like a toaster). 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_forwardTo determine if two objects in a class are equal, we should NOT use "==".

- In this problem, you are going to create an Employee superclass and an HourlyEmployee subclass. The Employee class will hold the employee’s name and annual salary. You should have getters for both instance variables, but only a setter for the salary. In the HourlyEmployee class, you will add an hours instance variable as well as a method to set and get the hourly salary. You are not storing the hourly salary, but rather converting it to an annual salary. To convert an houlry salary to an annual salary, multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours per week and then by 52. You will need to do the reverse to get the hourly salary. Both classes should have a toString and examples are in the starter code. Be sure to test your classes in the EmployeeTester class! public class EmployeeTester{public static void main(String[] args){// Start here!}} public class HourlyEmployee extends Employee { private double hoursPerWeek; // Call the Employee constructor and pass it a calculated…arrow_forwardProgram thisarrow_forwardWhat does the super keyword represents and where can it be used? Give an example of a superclass and subclass. Be sure to make all the instances variables of the super class private. Include at least one constructor in each class and ensure that the constructor of the subclass calls the constructor of the superclass. Also include a toString method in both classes that returns the values of the instance variables with appropriate labels. Ensure that the toString method of subclass calls the toString method of the superclass so that the string returned contains the values of all the inherited instance variables.arrow_forward
- Write classes that could be used in a system that manages vehicles in a public transportation system. You will write classes to represent a TransitVehicle, Bus, and SubwayCar. The information about the classes is below. Step 1: Plan Your Class Design Before you start to code, decide how to design your classes. Which class should be the parent? the child? What variables or methods belong in each class? Step 2: Write the Core Class Components Write the three classes. Each class must have all of the following. Important: a class can have a method directly (meaning written into the code) or indirectly (meaning inherited from a parent). Either of these counts to meet the requirement. instance data variables transit vehicles are described by an id that contains letters and numbers and a description of the route buses are described by an id, route, and the number of miles per gallon (without decimals) subway cars are described by an id, route, and whether or not the car goes underground…arrow_forwardQ# A program that has no graphical user interface and only takes input through the command line only has a model and a controller. It does not have a view. The answer: is FALSE. Please explain with example. Q# What is NOT an effect of the SOLID principles? The answer: A high-level class depends on specific low-level classes and not interfaces. Please explain why. Q# Assume you are considering writing a method and are deciding what should happen when given input that is outside of perfect input. Which of the following is not a way to handle this? Answer: Use better JUnit testing. Subject: Java Programmingarrow_forwardDefine a class named Employee. This class should extend the Person class from the previous question. The class should have a constructor, which takes the name, age, employer (String) and salary (int) as parameters (in that order). The first two parameters should be passed to the constructor of the superclass and the value of the last two parameters should be stored in instance variables. The class should define the methods, getSalary which returns the salary of the employee and getEmployer which returns the name of the employer. Any methods from the previous question that need to be overridden should be overridden! Use super and instanceof as appropriate. I.e., for the following methods you should be able to call the method in the superclass for specific situations (e.g. the compareTo method in the superclass can be called if you receive anything other than an Employee, and this also holds for the equals method). The toString method only needs to append details and as such can also…arrow_forward
- The class "Car" has the following attributes: plate (String), mark (String), model (String), year (int), km (int).Write a constructor method for the "Car" class that takes values as parameters for all these attributes.arrow_forwardWrite a shoe class with the following attributes: color (e.g., "blue", "green", "orange") displayName (e.g., "nikes, adidas", "puma") price (e.g., 100, 200,60) Include only one constructor. It should have parameters for each of the attributes and set their values. Additionally, include getters and setters for each of the attributes. Add a driver, name it Purchases, and create 2 objects. Finally, print out some information about both objects (i.e., print the information from some or all of the getters). For example, if you created a shoe object whose color was blue, whose display name was shoes , for a price of 230, you could use the getters to print something like this:These work trousers are blue and cost $230arrow_forwardIn the following there are two classes, Employee and Manager. Manager is a subclass of Employee. The implementation of Employee class is given (Note: no getter methods are provided, so you are not able to access instance variables through getter methods in the subclass). The skeleton of the Manager class definition is given. Complete the constructor method, and the toString method for the subclass (see the details below). public class Employee {_private String name; private double salary; // Make an employee with a given name and salary. public Employee(String aName, double aSalary) { name salary = aSalary; } // Provide a string description of an employee. public String toString() { return "Name: "tSalary: "+ salary; } } public class Manager extends Employee { private String department; // Make a manager with a given name, salary, and department. public Manager(String name, double salary, String department) { // put your code below } // Provide a string toString() { // put your code…arrow_forward
