• One class per file. Don't create multiple classes in the same .java file
• Don't use static variables and methods
• Encapsulation: make sure you protect your class variables and provide access to them through get and set methods
• All classes are required to have a constructor that receives all the attributes as parameters and updates the attributes accordingly
• All the classes are required to have an "empty" constructor that receives no parameters but updates all the attributes as needed
• Follow Horstmann's Java Language Coding Guidelines

Contents

• Create a NetBeans project with
  • • App.java
    • Person.java

Data

• The application App creates 5 Person objects
  • using full-parameter constructor with the data below
    1. name=Marcus Allen, weight=200, hometown=Upper Marlboro, MD, highSchool=Dr. Henry A. Wise, Jr.
    2. name=Kyle Alston, weight=180, hometown=Robbinsville, NJ, highSchool=Robbinsville
    3. name=Troy Apke, weight=220, hometown=Mt. Lebanon, PA, highSchool=Mount Lebanon
    4. name=Matthew Baney, weight=225, hometown=State College, PA, highSchool=State College
  • 5. using the no-parameter constructor

Functionality

App creates 5 objects and displays their data.

The classes

• App
  • it has the main method which is the method that Java looks for and runs to start any application
  • it creates creates 5 Person objects
    • 4 with the full-parameter constructor
    • 1 with the no-parameter constructor
  • it displays information about each object using the toString() method
• Person
  • uses encapsulation
    • private attributes
    • a get and a set method for each attribute
  • has the following attributes
    • String name;
    • int weight;
    • String hometown;
    • String highSchool;
  • has two constructors
    • one with no parameters
      • the no-parameter constructor use the following default values
        • name = "" (blank, no spaces)
        • weight = 0
        • hometown = "N/A"
        • highSchool = "N/A"
    • one with all the parameters (one for each attribute)
  • a toString( ) method
  • Do not use the scanner class or any other user input request. You application should be self-contained and run without user input.
