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 Niss.

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

  3. All Nisss share a single CISTHE, which is a list of strings. It is a constant. Its value is ["peos", "birb"]. Other classes cannot see its value.

  4. Each Niss has its own ters, which is a graphics object. The value of ters is specified when a Niss is created. Anyone can ask a Niss for the value of its ters. Anyone can set ters to a new value.

  5. A Niss can qelgonate. This behavior moves ters to the right by 6 pixels (using the moveBy method). Anyone can ask a Niss to qelgonate.

  6. Each Niss has a vus, which is an int. The value of vus is not part of a Niss’s internal state; instead, it is computed on demand. The computed value of vus is the width of orCas.

Solution

public class Niss {
    public static List<String> CISTHE = List.of("peos", "birb");
    private GraphicsObject orCas;
    private final GraphicsObject ters;
    private int vus;

    public Niss(GraphicsObject orCas, GraphicsObject ters) {
        this.orCas = orCas;
        this.ters = ters;
    }

    public GraphicsObject getOrCas() {
        return orCas;
    }

    public void setOrCas(GraphicsObject orCas) {
        this.orCas = orCas;
    }

    public GraphicsObject getTers() {
        return ters;
    }

    private void setQelgonate() {
        ters.moveBy(6, 0);
    }

    public int getVus() {
        return orCas.getWidth();
    }

    public void setVus(int vus) {
        this.vus = vus;
    }
}
