Box Exercise

Write a class called Box that does contains the following:

1. Private members of the class to store the length, width, height and fullness of the box object

The fullness should be represented by a boolean variable called full.

2. A constructor that accepts no parameters, but sets the length, width and height to 11.25, 8.75 and 6 resepctively

All new box objects will be initially empty; i.e. the value of full should be false.

You will not pass the fullness of the box through the constructor!

3. A constructor to accept the length, width, height values of the box object

Again, all new box objects will be initially empty; i.e. the value of full should be false.

You will NOT pass the fullness of the box through the constructor!

4. Accessor (getter) methods for all of the instance data

You should have 4 of these methods

5. Mutator (setter) methods for all of the instance data

Again, you should have 4 of these methods

6. A toString Method to return a description of each box

If the Boolean value is false, output that the box is empty; otherwise the Boolean value is true and the box must be full.

To test the Box class, you will create a driver program called BoxTest that performs the following tasks:

1. Creates a box object using the constructor with no parameters

2.Creates two box object using the constructor with no parameters

You are expected (allowed) to pass values into the constructor via hardcoding

One of the box objects should be initialized to 0 (to test mutators)

3. Use the toString method to output the initial dimensions of the 3 boxes

4. Update the box object that was initialized to 0 using the mutators for that object

You are allowed to pass a hardcoded value to the mutators.

5. Prompts the user to enter a length, width and height of an item

6. If the length, width and height of the item is less than the length, width and height of a box, put the item in the box!

To do this, create an if else if structure that compares the dimensions of the items to the dimensions of each box

Use the accessors to get each dimension to compare them

If a box is big enough, use the mutator to change the status of the box from empty to full!

Tip: for this exercise, use values to ensure that your item can fit into one of the boxes

7. Use the toString method to output the final dimensions of the 3 boxes

Your output should show that the diminsions of one of your boxes was updated and that at least 1 box is full.

A sample of the output is shown below:

The initial dimensions of my boxes are: Box size: 11.25 x 8.75 x 6.0 inches. This box is empty. Box size: 15.0 x 20.0 x 10.5 inches. This box is empty. Box size: 0.0 x 0.0 x 0.0 inches. This box is empty. Enter the dimensions of an item (separated by spaces): 9 10 7.5 The item can fit in box 2! The final dimensions of my boxes are: Box size: 11.25 x 8.75 x 6.0 inches. This box is empty. Box size: 15.0 x 20.0 x 10.5 inches. This box is full. Box size: 3.0 x 3.0 x 4.5 inches. This box is empty.
