Hi all,
I'm taking an introductory computer science class. I know HTML (4) so I guess I kind of have a basic idea of codes. Java's stumping me. This is of the BlueJ variety, and I'm stuck on the first part of the second lab assignment of the class. I'm not looking for an entire walkthrough of my assignment, just a little help on the first instruction (or two :D), at least at this point in time. I plan on figuring out the rest of the assignment, I've just been stuck on this particular step for quite a while (my book is of no help). Any assistance is welcomed!
Here's my lab instructions:
Copy the "Lab2" folder (the entire folder and contents) from the "downloads" folder on Lamont and paste a copy inside your "Labs" folder on arthur ("H:\Personal\Cosc1010\Labs"). Using BlueJ open the "shapes" project found in the "Lab2" folder and do the following:
Change the constructor of the class Circle so that it allows you to specify the color during construction.
Add an accessor method to Circle that returns the diameter of a circle.
Add an accessor method to Circle that returns the color of a circle.
Add a mutator method to Circle that will change a circle's x position to a new x.
Add a mutator method to Circle that will change a circle's y position to a new y.
Add a mutator method to Circle that moves a circle to a new location: (x, y).
Add an accessor method to Circle that returns the distance of the circle from (0, 0): the origin.
Use: (int)(Math.sqrt(z)) to get the square root of z.
For example, the following code stores the value 10 in the variable x:
int num = 100;
int numSquareRoot = (int)(Math.sqrt(num));
Add a method that displays a circle's diameter, color, and coordinates exactly as in the following example:
The red circle at (55, 120) has a diameter of 5.
Here's the code (Circle class):
