Chapter 9, Problem 11E

a. Write a FractionDemo program that instantiates several Fraction objects and demonstrates that their methods work correctly. Create a Fraction class with fields that hold a whole number, a numerator, and a denominator. In addition:

• Create properties for each field. The set access or for the denominator should not allow a 0 value; the value defaults to 1.

• Add three constructors. One takes three parameters for a whole number, numerator, and denominator. Another accepts two parameters for the numerator and denominator; when this constructor is used, the whole number value is 0. The last constructor is parameterless; it sets the whole number and numerator to 0 and the denominator to 1. (After construction, Fractions do not have to be reduced to proper form. For example, even though 3/9 could be reduced to 1/3, your constructors do not have to perform this task.)

• Add a Reduce() method that reduces a Fraction if it is in improper form. For example, 2/4 should be reduced to 1/2.

• Add an operator+() method that adds two Fractions. To add two fractions, first eliminate any whole number part of the value. For example, 2 1/4 becomes 9/4 and 1 3/5 becomes 8/5. Find a common denominator and convert the fractions to it. For example, when adding 9/4 and 8/5, you can convert them to 45/20 and 32/20. Then you can add the numerators, giving 77/20. Finally, call the Reduce() method to reduce the result, restoring any whole number value so the fractional part of the number is less than 1. For example, 77/20 becomes 3 17/20.

• Include a function that returns a string that contains a Fraction in the usual display format—the whole number, a space, the numerator, a slash (D, and a denominator. When the whole number is 0, just the Fraction part of the value should be displayed (for example, 1/2 instead of 0 1/2). If the numerator is 0, just the whole number should be displayed (for example, 2 instead of 2 0/3).

b. Add an operator*() method to the Fraction class created in Exercise 11a so that it correctly multiplies two Fractions. The result should be in proper, reduced format. Demonstrate that the method works correctly in a program named FractionDemo2.

c. Write a program named FractionDem03 that includes an array of four Fractions. Prompt the user for values for each. Display every possible combination of addition results and every possible combination of multiplication results for each Fraction pair (that is, each type will have 16 results).

Please answer JAVA OOP problem below: Assume you have three data definition classes, Person, Student and Faculty. The Student and Faculty classes extend Person.  Given the code snippet below, in Java, complete the method determinePersonTypeCount to print out how many Student and Faculty objects exist within the Person array. You may assume that each object within the Person[] is either referencing a Student or Faculty object.   public static void determinePersonTypeCount(Person[] people){   // Place your code here }
Please answer JAVA OOP question below: Consider the following  relationship diagram between the Game and VideoGame data defintion classes.   Game has a constructor that takes in two parameters, title (String) and cost (double). The VideoGame constructor has an additional parameter, genre (String). In Java, efficiently write the constructors needed within the Game class and VideoGame classes. Hint: Remember to think about the appropriate validation
In a shopping cart, there are various items, which can either belong to the category of household items or electronic items. The following UML diagram illustrates the relationship between items, household items, and electronic items.   //Implementation Class public class ShoppingCart{             public static void main(String[] args){             final int MAX_ITEM = 50;             Item cart = new Item[MAX_ITEM];             addItem(cart); // populate the item array            printItem(cart);      } } Considering that all the data definition classes and the implementation class are complete, which of the following Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts do you need to use in the above context? i) Polymorphism ii) Method Overloading iii) Method Overriding iv) Dynamic Binding v) Abstract Class Explain, using course terminology, how you would use any of the above concepts to model the given scenario.
