AP CSA Unit 2 –– Review Problems
Consider the following Thing class. Each Thing object has a name attribute, which can be set
in the constructor or by using the setName method. The name of a Thing object can be
returned by the getName method.
public class Thing
{
// attributes not shown
/** Constructs a new Thing named myName
*/
public Thing(String myName)
{ /* implementation not shown */ }
/** Returns this Thing’s name
*/
public String getName()
{ /* implementation not shown */ }
/** Sets this Thing’s name to newName
*/
public void setName(String newName)
{ /* implementation not shown */ }
/** Returns a message as described in part (b)
*/
public void printMessage()
{ /* implementation not shown */ }
}
(a) Write a statement to create a new Thing object snack that has the name "potato chip".
(b) The Thing method printMessage prints a string consisting of the name of the object
followed by "_is_great". Suppose the name of the Thing object favFood is "pizza". Write a
statement that uses the printMessage method to print the string "pizza_is_great".
(c) Write a code segment to change the name of the Thing object something such that the
new name consists of the old name with one character removed at random. For example,
if something has name "ABCD", its new name could be set to "ACD".
Write the code segment below.
