Chapter 8, Problem 2P

Define a class named Doctor whose objects are records for a clinic’s doctors. Derive this class from the class Person given in Listing 8.1. A Doctor record has the doctor’s name—defined in the class Person—a specialty as a string (for example Pediatrician, Obstetrician, General Practitioner, and so on), and an office-visit fee (use the type double). Give your class a reasonable complement of constructors and accessor methods, and an equal method as well. Write a driver program to test all your methods.

Create a Right Triangle class that has two sides. Name your class rightTraingle. Code getter and setters for the base and the height. (Remember class variables are private.) The class should include a two-argument constructor that allows the program to set the base and height. The constructor should verify that all the dimensions are greater than 0. before assigning the values to the private data members. If a side is not greater than zero, set the value to -1. The class also should include two value-returning methods. One value-returning method should calculate the area of a triangle, and the other should calculate the perimeter of a triangle. If either side is -1, these functions return a -1. The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is 1/2 * b*h, where b is the base and h is the height. The formula for calculating the perimeter of a triangle is b+h+sqrt (b*b+h*h). Be sure to include a default constructor that initializes the variables of the base, height to -1. To test…
Define 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…
Create a class Mammal and another class WingedAnimal. Make a class Bat that is derived from both the classes as bat is a mammal as well as a winged animal.Make constructor of each class and test your classes by making an object of Bat in main function.
