Exercise 1: The Circle and Cylinder Classes
The class Cylinder inherits all the member variables (radius and color) and methods
(getRadius(), getArea(), among others) from its superclass Circle. It further defines
a variable called height, two public methods - getHeight() and getVolume() and its
own constructors
Circle.java (Re-produced)
public class Circle {
// private instance variables
// Constructors
// public getters and setters for the private variables
/** Returns a self-descriptive String */
public String toString() {
return "Circle[radius=" + radius + ",color=" + color + "]";
}
/** Returns the area of this Circle */
public double getArea() {
return radius * radius * Math.PI;
}
}
Cylinder.java
/**
* A Cylinder is a Circle plus a height.
*/
public class Cylinder extends Circle {
// private instance variable
// Constructors
// Getter and Setter
/** Returns the volume of this Cylinder */
public double getVolume() {
return getArea()*height; // Use Circle's getArea()
}
/** Returns a self-descriptive String */
public String toString() {
return "This is a Cylinder"; // to be refined later
}
}
A Test Drive for the Cylinder Class (TestCylinder.java)
/**
* A test driver for the Cylinder class.
*/
public class TestCylinder {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Cylinder cy1 = new Cylinder();
//Construced a Circle with Circle()
//Constructed a Cylinder with Cylinder()
System.out.println("Radius is " + cy1.getRadius()
+ ", Height is " + cy1.getHeight()
+ ", Color is " + cy1.getColor()
+ ", Base area is " + cy1.getArea()
+ ", Volume is " + cy1.getVolume());
//Radius is 1.0, Height is 1.0, Color is red,
//Base area is 3.141592653589793, Volume is 3.141592653589793
Cylinder cy2 = new Cylinder(5.0, 2.0);
//Construced a Circle with Circle(radius)
//Constructed a Cylinder with Cylinder(height, radius)
System.out.println("Radius is " + cy2.getRadius()
+ ", Height is " + cy2.getHeight()
+ ", Color is " + cy2.getColor()
+ ", Base area is " + cy2.getArea()
+ ", Volume is " + cy2.getVolume());
//Radius is 2.0, Height is 5.0, Color is red,
//Base area is 12.566370614359172, Volume is 62.83185307179586
