Person class – Java
Hey guys,
Well I’ve not updated this site is a long time, been way too busy. My studies have been processing rapidly, currently working on Java inheritance. So, starting basic I’ve been working on a Person class, which will allow for the creation of a Person (Note that this is a basic version and you would have to make changes for it to be of the correct standard and conventions of java). Here is it:-
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120 121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130 131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160 161 162 163 164 165 166 167 168 169 170 171 172 173 174 175 176 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 188 189 190 191 192 193 194 195 196 197 198 199 200 201 202 203 204 205 206 207 208 209 210 211 212 213 214 215 216 217 218 219 220 221 222 223 224 225 226
public class Person {
//variables
protected int age, serial;
protected char gender;
protected String name;
protected String address;
private static int counter;
//constructor
public Person (String nme, char sex, int howOld)
{
age = howOld;
gender = sex;
name = nme;
address = "";
counter ++;
serial = counter + 1001;
}
public Person(Person other)
{
name = other.name;
age = other.age;
gender = other.gender;
address = other.address;
}
//count every instance of person
public static int count()
{
return counter;
}
public void copy (Person other)
{
age = other.age;
gender = other.gender;
name = other.name;
address = other.address;
}
// accessor methods
public int getAge()
{
return age;
}//end get age
public String toString()
{
return name + " " + address;
}
//get gender
public String getGender()
{
if(gender == 'm' || gender == 'M')
return "male";
else
if (gender == 'f' || gender == 'F')
return "female";
else
return "unknown";
}
//check to see if older
public boolean isOlderThan(Person other)
{
{
if (age >= other.age)
return true;
else
return false;
}
}
//checking to see if the same gender
public boolean sameGender(Person other)
{
return gender == other.gender;
}
//Input a value to check age
public boolean olderThan(int otherAge)
{
return age >= otherAge;
}
//check to see if female
public boolean isFemale()
{
return gender == 'f' || gender == 'F';
}
public boolean equals (Person other)
{
return name.equals(other.name) && gender == other.gender && age == other.age && address.equals(other.address);
}
//transformer methods
public void incrementAge()
{
age ++;
}
//get new address
public void setAddress(String newAddress)
{
address = newAddress;
}
}
So what does the code do? It allows for the adding of a instance called Person, with a name, gender and how old they are being set by the user via the constructor. Everything else is very self explanatory , expect the boolean equals (Person other) which checks two [persons to see if they match, and returns true if they do.
