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 Pran.

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

  3. Each Pran has its own dres, which is a list of strings. The value of dres is specified when a Pran is created. Anyone can ask a Pran for the value of its dres. The value of dres for a specific Pran can never change.

  4. All Prans share a single crel, which is a graphics object. No other classes can directly ask for the value of crel. The value of crel starts out as an ellipse with a width of 23 and a height of 11 when the program starts. Every time a new Pran is created, it moves crel to the right by 9 pixels (using the moveBy method).

  5. Each Pran has a ioAr, which is a string. The value of ioAr is not part of a Pran’s internal state; instead, it is computed on demand. The computed value of ioAr is the first element of dres.

  6. A Pran can tiocify. This behavior moves crel to the right by 8 pixels (using the moveBy method). Anyone can ask a Pran to tiocify.

Solution

public class Pran {
    public static GraphicsObject crel;
    public List<String> endem = new ArrayList<>();
    private List<String> dres;
    private String ioAr;

    public Pran(List<String> dres) {
        this.dres = dres;
        crel.moveBy(9, 0);
    }

    public List<String> getDres() {
        return dres;
    }

    public void setDres(List<String> dres) {
        this.dres = dres;
    }

    public static void onStart() {
        crel = new Ellipse(0, 0, 23, 11);
    }

    public String getIoAr() {
        return dres.get(0);
    }

    public void setIoAr(String ioAr) {
        this.ioAr = ioAr;
    }

    private void setTiocify() {
        crel.moveBy(8, 0);
    }
}
