Program Plan Intro
Interface:
Interface is a reference type in Java, which contains a collection of abstract methods. It is very similar to class, but it cannot be instantiated, rather it is implemented by other classes.
An interface needs to the follow certain conditions such as:
- • One cannot instantiate an interface.
- • Interfaces do not contain any constructors.
- • All methods present in the interface are abstracts.
- • An interface does not contain any instance field.
- • An interface cannot be extended by a class.

Can we have static methods in an Interface?
Create an interface Wheel with methods setWheels (int c) and getWheels () and a class Vehicle with abstract methods getColor () and getBrand (). Now, create a concrete class Taxi with additional method setDriver (String name) that inherits both Wheel and Vehicle. (Note: Concrete classes don’t have any abstract method)

A solution is placed in the "solution" section to help you, but we would suggest you try to solve it on your own first. Implement the constructor Dell(String name) of the Derived Class Dell which takes a string, name. We have already implemented the Base Class Laptop with the member function getName() and a parameterized constructor. Input# Laptop name is being passed through the parameterized constructor. Output# getName() method is returing Laptop name. Sample Input# Dell dell = new Dell("Dell Inspiron"); Sample Output# "Dell Inspiron"arrow_forwardWrite a complete program for the description given below. Consider a Billing class that implements an interface Payable having a method getTotalPayment Amount(). Besides this, you have a Doctor class with private instance variables (docID, docName, and docFee) and a public getDoc() method, Patient class with private instance variables (pName, pID. pDisease), Medicine class with private instance variables (medID, medName, medQty, medPrice), and Medical Test class with private instance variables (testID, testName, testPrice). Each of these classes has the toString() method to display the information of its object. The Billing class is having "Has A" relationship with the other four classes (Doctor, Patient, Medicine, and MedicalTest) mentioned above. The getPayment Amount() method of Billing class returns the total billing amount that includes doc fee, medicine cost, and medical test fee that a patient has to pay.

There's freedom on how to implement these classes.The private properties and private methods are under your control.. There are multiple ways of implementing all these classes. Feel free to add private properties and methods. For each object, it's mandatory to create a header file (.h), implementation file (.cpp) and a driver. Blank files are included. The header should have the class definition in it. The implementation file should contain the implementations of the methods laid out in the header fine. And finally the Driver should test/demonstrate all the features of the class. It's best to develop the driver as the class is being written. Check each section to see if there are added additional requirements for the driver. Two test suites are included so that work can be checked.

- This example asks you to write an interface. Then define three classes that implement this interface. 1) Create an interface Discount Policy. It should have a single abstract method called computeDiscount that will return the discount for the purchase of a given number of a single item. The method has two parameters, count and item Cost. This interface has no other method. 2) Define a class Bulk Discount that implements the interface Discount Policy, as de- scribed above. It should have a constructor that has two parameters, minimum and percent. It should define the method computeDiscount so that if the quantity purchased of an item is more than minimum, the discount is percent percent. 3) Define another class Buy NItemsGetOneFree that implements Discount Policy as de- scribed in part 1. The class should have a constructor that has a single parameter n. In addition, the class should define the method computeDiscount so that every nth item is free.

The overridden version of the method prints the value of an int variable defined in the derived class. At the point of definition of this variable, give it a nonzero value. In the base-class constructor, call this method. In main( ), create an object of the derived type, and then call its print( ) method. Explain the results. (JAVA)arrow_forward
- Do in c#arrow_forwardlanguage is c++ sample output included with user input in boldarrow_forwardin c++ 3. Develop additional classes for Cat, Horse, and GuineaPig overriding the move() and speak() methods. (If you didn’t know, guinea pigs go “wheep wheepLinks to an external site.”). Make sure to also define a constructor and destructor for each of these classes, and that when you run your program, you can also see that the correct constructors and destructors are being called. Recall that a derived class will always call the parents constructors and destructors, so if you see this behavior, that is okay. Just make sure you are also calling the derived class’ constructors and destructors. Test with the modified main: int main (){Mammal* theArray[5];Mammal* ptr;int choice;for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++){cout << "(1)dog (2)cat (3)horse (4)guinea pig: ";cin >> choice;switch (choice){case 1: ptr = new Dog;break;case 2: ptr = new Cat;break;case 3: ptr = new Horse;break;case 4: ptr = new GuineaPig;break;default: ptr = new Mammal;break;}theArray[i] = ptr;}// Iterate through…arrow_forward
