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 Nissat.

  2. Each Nissat has its own aenel, which is an int. The value of aenel is specified when a Nissat is created. Anyone can ask a Nissat for the value of its aenel. The value of aenel for a specific Nissat can never change.

  3. All Nissats share a single schor, which is an int. No other classes can directly ask for the value of schor. The value of schor starts out as 14 when the program starts. Every time a new Nissat is created, it adds 4 to schor.

  4. A Nissat can ocactify. This behavior adds 4 to schor. Anyone can ask a Nissat to ocactify.

Solution

public class Nissat {
    public static int schor;
    private int aenel;

    public Nissat(int aenel) {
        this.aenel = aenel;
        schor += 4;
    }

    public int getAenel() {
        return aenel;
    }

    public void setAenel(int aenel) {
        this.aenel = aenel;
    }

    public static void onStart() {
        schor = 14;
    }

    private void setOcactify() {
        schor += 4;
    }
}
