Assignment 14: Space Craft

Objectives

Create a Space Craft class.

Create classes which build on Space Craft: Space Station and Space Shuttle.

Create a toString method for each class.

Store a list of objects in an ArrayList.

Motivation

In this program, you will be creating an application to hold various types of space craft.

The Space Craft Class

A space craft is a generic term for an object in space which holds people. The SpaceCraft class needs to be a public abstract class. People sit in seats. Your SpaceCraft class should have the fields:

String name; // The name of the space craft

int seats; // How many people can sit in this space craft.

Methods

Constructor(String name, int seats): Assigns the parameters to the fields.

getName(): String: Returns the name of the space craft.

getSeats(): int: Returns the number of seats.

Override toString(): String: Returns a string containing the name and number of seats in this generic space craft.

The Space Station Class

A space station doesn't move in space. It houses people. The SpaceStation class needs to extend SpaceCraft. It should have the following fields:

int ports; // Number of ports on this space station.

Methods

Constructor(String name, int seats, int ports): Assigns the parameters to the fields.

getPorts(): int: Returns the number of ports.

Override toString(): String: Returns the name and number of ports on this space station.

The Space Shuttle Class

A space shuttle moves people around in space. A space shuttle has engines. The SpaceShuttle class needs to extend SpaceCraft. It should have the following fields:

int engines; // Number of engines on this space station

Methods

Constructor(String name, int seats, int engines): Assigns the parameters to the fields.

getEngines(): int: Returns the number of engines.

Override toString(): String: Returns the name and number of engines on this space shuttle.

Main Method

Your main method should begin with an empty ArrayList of SpaceCraft objects.

Write a menu based application which does the following:

Adds a new station to the list. You will need to prompt for three parts of a station.

Adds a new shuttle to the list. You will need to prompt for three parts of a shuttle.

Display the number of space craft in the list.

Display the number total number of seats in all space craft in the list.

Display a description of all space craft.

Quit the software.

Notes

The only class which is allowed to have print statements is the class with your main method. If any methods have a print statement outside this class, you will get an automatic 0. I'm writing this because it is a bad programming practice to put print statements in methods outside of main.

Example Run

In this example run, I add Deep Space Station K-12 and the Enterprise to my space craft organizer. Your organizer should behave like this for full credit.
