look for the Chapter reading you need in the doc folder.

|
+* Exercise 2.1 Create a TicketMachine object on the object bench and take a look
|
|
8
|
+at its methods. You should see the following: getBalance, getPrice, insertMoney,
|
|
9
|
+and printTicket. Try out the getPrice method. You should see a return value containing
|
|
10
|
+the price of the tickets that was set when this object was created. Use the
|
|
11
|
+insertMoney method to simulate inserting an amount of money into the machine and
|
|
12
|
+then use getBalance to check that the machine has a record of the amount inserted.
|
|
13
|
+You can insert several separate amounts of money into the machine, just like you might
|
|
14
|
+insert multiple coins or notes into a real machine. Try inserting the exact amount
|
|
15
|
+required for a ticket. As this is a simple machine, a ticket will not be issued automatically,
|
|
16
|
+so once you have inserted enough money, call the printTicket method. A
|
|
17
|
+facsimile ticket should be printed in the BlueJ terminal window.
|
|
18
|
+* Exercise 2.2 What value is returned if you check the machine’s balance after it
|
|
19
|
+has printed a ticket?
|
|
20
|
+* Exercise 2.3 Experiment with inserting different amounts of money before printing
|
|
21
|
+tickets. Do you notice anything strange about the machine’s behavior? What happens
|
|
22
|
+if you insert too much money into the machine – do you receive any refund? What
|
|
23
|
+happens if you do not insert enough and then try to print a ticket?
|
|
24
|
+* Exercise 2.4 Try to obtain a good understanding of a ticket machine’s behavior by
|
|
25
|
+interacting with it on the object bench before we start looking at how the
|
|
26
|
+TicketMachine class is implemented in the next section.
|
|
27
|
+* Exercise 2.5 Create another ticket machine for tickets of a different price. Buy a
|
|
28
|
+ticket from that machine. Does the printed ticket look different?
|
|
29
|
+
|
|
30
|
+* Exercise 2.6 Write out what you think the outer wrappers of the Student and
|
|
31
|
+LabClass classes might look like – do not worry about the inner part.
|
|
32
|
+* Exercise 2.7 Does it matter whether we write
|
|
33
|
+`public class TicketMachine`
|
|
34
|
+or
|
|
35
|
+`class public TicketMachine`
|
|
36
|
+in the outer wrapper of a class? Edit the source of the TicketMachine class to
|
|
37
|
+make the change and then close the editor window. Do you notice a change in the
|
|
38
|
+class diagram?
|
|
39
|
+What error message do you get when you now press the Compile button? Do you think
|
|
40
|
+this message clearly explains what is wrong?
|
|
41
|
+* Exercise 2.8 Check whether or not it is possible to leave out the word public
|
|
42
|
+from the outer wrapper of the TicketMachine class.
|
|
43
|
+
|
|
44
|
+* Exercise 2.9 From your earlier experimentation with the ticket machine objects
|
|
45
|
+within BlueJ you can probably remember the names of some of the methods –
|
|
46
|
+printTicket, for instance. Look at the class definition in Code 2.1 and use this
|
|
47
|
+knowledge, along with the additional information about ordering we have given you,
|
|
48
|
+to try to make a list of the names of the fields, constructors, and methods in the
|
|
49
|
+TicketMachine class. Hint: There is only one constructor in the class.
|
|
50
|
+Exercise 2.10 Do you notice any features of the constructor that make it significantly
|
|
51
|
+different from the other methods of the class?
|
|
52
|
+
|
|
53
|
+* Exercise 2.11 What do you think is the type of each of the following fields?
|
|
54
|
+```
|
|
55
|
+private int count;
|
|
56
|
+private Student representative;
|
|
57
|
+private Server host;
|
|
58
|
+```
|
|
59
|
+* Exercise 2.12 What are the names of the following fields?
|
|
60
|
+```
|
|
61
|
+private boolean alive;
|
|
62
|
+private Person tutor;
|
|
63
|
+private Game game;
|
|
64
|
+```
|
|
65
|
+* Exercise 2.13 In the following field declaration from the TicketMachine class
|
|
66
|
+`private int price;`
|
|
67
|
+does it matter which order the three words appear in? Edit the TicketMachine class to
|
|
68
|
+try different orderings. After each change, close the editor. Does the appearance of the
|
|
69
|
+class diagram after each change give you a clue as to whether or not other orderings are
|
|
70
|
+possible? Check by pressing the Compile button to see if there is an error message.
|
|
71
|
+Make sure that you reinstate the original version after your experiments!
|
|
72
|
+* Exercise 2.14 Is it always necessary to have a semicolon at the end of a field declaration?
|
|
73
|
+Once again, experiment via the editor. The rule you will learn here is an
|
|
74
|
+important one, so be sure to remember it.
|
|
75
|
+* Exercise 2.15 Write in full the declaration for a field of type int whose name is
|
|
76
|
+status.
|
7
|
77
|
* Exercise 2.16 To what class does the following constructor belong?
|
8
|
|
-`public Student(String name)`
|
|
78
|
+```
|
|
79
|
+public Student(String name)
|
|
80
|
+```
|
9
|
81
|
* Exercise 2.17 How many parameters does the following constructor have andwhat are their types?
|
10
|
|
-`public Book(String title, double price)`
|
|
82
|
+```
|
|
83
|
+public Book(String title, double price)
|
|
84
|
+```
|
11
|
85
|
* Exercise 2.18 Can you guess what types some of the Bookclass’s fields mightbe? Can you assume anything about the names of its fields?
