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 Bilsen.

  2. Each Bilsen has its own ils, which is a graphics object. The value of ils is specified when a Bilsen is created. Anyone can ask a Bilsen for the value of its ils. The value of ils for a specific Bilsen can never change.

  3. Each Bilsen has a wunt, which is a string. A wunt is part of the internal state of a Bilsen: no other classes can see the value of wunt or directly change it. When a Bilsen is first created, the value of its wunt starts out as "iozin".

  4. A Bilsen can ithonize. This behavior adds "moumes" to wunt. Anyone can ask a Bilsen to ithonize.

Solution

public class Bilsen {
    private GraphicsObject ils;
    public String wunt = "iozin";

    public Bilsen(GraphicsObject ils) {
        this.ils = ils;
    }

    public GraphicsObject getIls() {
        return ils;
    }

    public void setIls(GraphicsObject ils) {
        this.ils = ils;
    }

    private void setIthonize() {
        wunt += "moumes";
    }
}
