Explanation of Solution
Classes of objects in computer game:
- In the example game, there could be a number of classes and objects to enable a smoother gameplay.
- For example, there could be a class for meteors that controls the size and strength of the meteor.
- This Meteor class can have instance variables such as “size” and “strength” that reduces every time a laser hits the meteor...

Finish the TestPlane class that contains a main method that instantiates at least two Planes. Add instructions to instantiate your favorite plane and invoke each of the methods with a variety of parameter values to test each option within each method. To be able to test the functionality of each phase, you will add instructions to the main method in each phase.
I have multiple constructors defined in a class. Is it possible to call a constructor from another constructor’s body?
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_forwardObject composition is useful for creating an Is-A relationship between classes. is it True or False ??arrow_forwardIf you are designing an application for a car dealership, you will create a Vehicle parent class and then extend the class into Car, Truck, SUV child classes.

- SELECT ALL of the instance fields/variables from the class declaration below.arrow_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.

- Can an object in a subclass be assigned to a super class variable? Why?arrow_forwardIf the programmer doesn't declare any constructors for an extended class, what constructors will be inherited from the superclass? How does this inherited constructor initialize new instance variables that are not part of the superclass? Suppose that Vehicle is a class and Car is a new class that extends Vehicle. Write a description of which kind of assignments are permitted between Car and Vehicle variables. Suppose you write a new constructor for an extended class. Describe two different ways that the superclass's instance variables could be initialized within the constructor for the extended class.arrow_forwardDesign a class named Person with properties for holding a person’s name, address, and telephone number.
