Class declarations and object modeling: Correct Solution


Translate the specification below into an idiomatic Java class definition.

(In this context, "idiomatic" means following the common style and conventions of the language.)

  1. One kind of thing that exists in our model is a Crid.

  2. Each Crid has its own tomou, which is an int. The value of tomou starts out as 9. Anyone can ask a Crid for the value of its tomou. Anyone can set tomou to a new value.

  3. Each Crid has a zang, which is a list of strings. A zang is part of the internal state of a Crid: no other classes can see the value of zang or directly change it. When a Crid is first created, the value of its zang starts out as an empty mutable list.

  4. Each Crid has a poDomce, which is a string. The value of poDomce is not part of a Crid’s internal state; instead, it is computed on demand. The computed value of poDomce is the first element of zang.

Solution

public class Crid {
    private final int tomou;
    public List<String> zang = new ArrayList<>();
    private String poDomce;

    public Crid() {
    }

    public int getTomou() {
        return tomou;
    }

    public String getPoDomce() {
        return zang.get(0);
    }

    public void setPoDomce(String poDomce) {
        this.poDomce = poDomce;
    }
}
