Ski Class

$$ Description

o Class that represents a generic type of ski.

o Superclass in hierarchy.

$$ Private Data Fields

o type $-$ String representing the type of ski $($cross$-$country, etc.$)$ will contain no spaces

o brand $-$ String representing the ski$$s brand $-$ may contain spaces

$$ Public Methods

o Constructor: public Ski$($String type, String brand$)$

$$ Creates a ski using the incoming values for type and brand

o Getters

$$ One for each private data field $-$ type, brand

o Setters

$$ No setters are needed $($this is being done on purpose so do not include setters$)$

o public String description$()$

$$ Returns a string that describes the ski.

CrossCountry, Downhill, Snowboard Subclasses

$$ Description

o Each class represents a specific ski.

o Each of these classes must be a subclass of Ski.

$$ Private Data Fields

o None

$$ Public Methods

o Each subclass must have a constructor that:

$$ Creates a specific Ski with a specific type and brand.

$$ Note that type is not sent to the constructor $-$ brand is the only incoming value.

public CrossCountry$($String brand$)\{\}$

$$ Why is type not sent to constructor?

$$ Inside each constructor the type of ski is known, so there is no need to

send the constructor the type.

$$ For example, in the CrossCountry constructor, we know the type of ski

being created is a CrossCountry ski so the type $$CrossCountry$$ does not

need to be passed into the constructor, instead the string

$$CrossCountry$$ can be sent to the superclass constructor along with the

brand.

o Each subclass must override the description$()$ method in the Ski class.

@Override

public String description$()$

$$ Use the following descriptions for each specific ski:

Ski Type Description

cross country Long & thin skis with binding that allows heal to be free

downhill All$-$mountain skis where width depends on skill level

snowboard Single board where both feet are secured onto board in two bindings
