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 Cinprec.

  2. Each Cinprec has its own sphan, which is a string. The value of sphan is specified when a Cinprec is created. Anyone can ask a Cinprec for the value of its sphan. The value of sphan for a specific Cinprec can never change.

  3. Each Cinprec has a ooun, which is an int. An ooun is part of the internal state of a Cinprec: no other classes can see the value of ooun or directly change it. When a Cinprec is first created, the value of its ooun starts out as 14.

  4. A Cinprec can adhadify. This behavior adds 7 to ooun. Anyone can ask a Cinprec to adhadify.

Solution

public class Cinprec {
    private String sphan;
    public int ooun = 14;

    public Cinprec(String sphan) {
        this.sphan = sphan;
    }

    public String getSphan() {
        return sphan;
    }

    public void setSphan(String sphan) {
        this.sphan = sphan;
    }

    private void setAdhadify() {
        ooun += 7;
    }
}
