Creating a blueprint

• Add instance variables inside class and outside methods

public class Student{

private String hairColor;private String eyeColor;private int armLength;

/**}

Creating a blueprint

• remove static from methodspublic void printPerson ()

{

System.out.println ("The eye color is "+ eyeColor + " and the hair color is " + hairColor);

}

Use the blueprint

Student mary = new Student();Student carrie = new Student();mary.setEyeColor("green");mary.setHairColor("brown");carrie.setEyeColor("blue");carrie.setHairColor("blonde");

Look at the class again - thispublic void setEyeColor(String colorin) { this.eyeColor = colorin; }

mary

Exercise – make a point class

• setxy – take in 2 int to set x and y

• getx – return x• gety – return y• getDistance – take in

1 point and return distance to it

Point

gety

getx

setxyxy

getDistance 2122

Make a point public class Point{ int x; int y; public void setxy (int xIn, int yIn) { this.x = xIn; this.y = yIn;} public int getx() { return this.x;} public int gety() { return this.y;} public double getDistance(Point another) { return Math.sqrt((this.x-another.getx()) * (this.x-another.getx()) + (this.y-another.gety()) * (this.y-another.gety())); }}

PointUsepublic class PointUse{ public static void main() { Point one = new Point(); Point two = new Point(); one.setxy(1,2); two.setxy(4,6); System.out.println(one.getDistance(two)); }}

Teach that player how to do things

• setName – take a string to change name• setLoc – take an int to change location• getLoc – return its loc• reportWin – print win if > 30• moveMan – take in int - amount to move; int - current loc ; return new loc

Summary So Far• Classes as Blueprints vs Instances

– Variable of a class type – hold instance– Create instances with new Class ()

• Behavior – methods– placement: same as other methods, not static– access: instance.method

• State – instance variables – placement: in class; outside method; – access: this.– scope: throughout class

Constructors

• Creates a new instance (a new object)• Can take in parameters so the new object

has information set inside it right away• Special method

– No return– Same name as the class

• Call it with "new" keyword

Point class constructorpublic class Point { int x; int y; //============ Constructor public Point(int x, int y) { this.x = x; this.y = y; }

Use the Point Constructor

Point myPoint = new Point(1,3);Point yourPoint = new Point(4,5);

Constructors vs Methods• Differences between methods and constructors.

– There is no return type given in a constructor signature (header). The value is this object itself so there is no need to indicate a return value.

– There is no return statement in the body of the constructor. http://www.leepoint.net/notes-java/oop/constructors/constructor.html

What is wrong with this code

public class usePoint {public static void main(){Point myPoint1;Point myPoint2;System.out.println(myPoint1.getX());System.out.println(myPoint1.getDistance(myPoint2));}}

Summary So Far2• Classes as Blueprints vs Instances

– Variable of a class type – hold instance– Create instances with new Class () – default– Create instances with new Class (cons parms)

• Behavior – methods– placement: same as other methods, not static– access: instance.method– Special method: constructor

• State – instance variables – placement: in class; outside method; – access: this.– scope: throughout class
