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 LilProll.

  2. Each LilProll has its own meDa, which is an int. The value of meDa starts out as 6. Anyone can ask a LilProll for the value of its meDa. Anyone can set meDa to a new value.

  3. All LilProlls share a single erac, which is a string. No other classes can directly ask for the value of erac. The value of erac starts out as "tued" when the program starts. Every time a new LilProll is created, it adds "xooscess" to erac.

  4. Each LilProll has a usRecoc, which is a string. An usRecoc is part of the internal state of a LilProll: no other classes can see the value of usRecoc or directly change it. When a LilProll is first created, the value of its usRecoc starts out as "binne".

  5. A LilProll can arphize. This behavior adds 3 to meDa. Anyone can ask a LilProll to arphize.

  6. Each LilProll has a duar, which is a string. The value of duar is not part of a LilProll’s internal state; instead, it is computed on demand. The computed value of duar is usRecoc with two exclamation points appended.

Solution

public class LilProll {
    public static String erac;
    private final int meDa;
    public String usRecoc = "binne";
    private String duar;

    public LilProll() {
        erac += "xooscess";
    }

    public int getMeDa() {
        return meDa;
    }

    public static void onStart() {
        erac = "tued";
    }

    private void setArphize() {
        meDa += 3;
    }

    public String getDuar() {
        return usRecoc + "!!";
    }

    public void setDuar(String duar) {
        this.duar = duar;
    }
}
