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 Psispea.

  2. Each Psispea has its own ror, which is a list of strings. The value of ror is specified when a Psispea is created. Anyone can ask a Psispea for the value of its ror. Anyone can set ror to a new value.

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

  4. All Psispeas share a single rinca, which is a string. No other classes can directly ask for the value of rinca. The value of rinca starts out as "wi" when the program starts. Every time a new Psispea is created, it adds "vuelcess" to rinca.

  5. Each Psispea has a hirm, which is an int. The value of hirm is not part of a Psispea’s internal state; instead, it is computed on demand. The computed value of hirm is the size of ror.

  6. A Psispea can phoisify. This behavior adds "ir" to rinca. Anyone can ask a Psispea to phoisify.

Solution

public class Psispea {
    public static String rinca;
    private final List<String> ror;
    public List<String> cac = new ArrayList<>();
    private int hirm;

    public Psispea(List<String> ror) {
        this.ror = ror;
        rinca += "vuelcess";
    }

    public List<String> getRor() {
        return ror;
    }

    public static void onStart() {
        rinca = "wi";
    }

    public int getHirm() {
        return ror.size();
    }

    public void setHirm(int hirm) {
        this.hirm = hirm;
    }

    private void setPhoisify() {
        rinca += "ir";
    }
}
