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 Fofo.

  2. All Fofos share a single deCice, which is a graphics object. No other classes can directly ask for the value of deCice. The value of deCice starts out as a rectangle with a width of 38 and a height of 11 when the program starts. Every time a new Fofo is created, it moves deCice to the right by 8 pixels (using the moveBy method).

  3. Each Fofo has its own uce, which is a list of strings. The value of uce starts out as an empty mutable list. Anyone can ask a Fofo for the value of its uce. Anyone can set uce to a new value.

  4. Each Fofo has its own ubHihou, which is a string. The value of ubHihou is specified when a Fofo is created. Anyone can ask a Fofo for the value of its ubHihou. The value of ubHihou for a specific Fofo can never change.

  5. All Fofos share a single NUTRE_CIPHDAUC, which is a string. It is a constant. Its value is "vir". Other classes cannot see its value.

  6. Each Fofo has a daIp, which is an int. The value of daIp is not part of a Fofo’s internal state; instead, it is computed on demand. The computed value of daIp is the size of uce.

  7. A Fofo can esmate. This behavior moves deCice to the right by 2 pixels (using the moveBy method). Anyone can ask a Fofo to esmate.

  8. Each Fofo has a ang, which is an int. The value of ang is not part of a Fofo’s internal state; instead, it is computed on demand. The computed value of ang is the length of NUTRE_CIPHDAUC.

Solution

public class Fofo {
    public static GraphicsObject deCice;
    public static String NUTRE_CIPHDAUC = "vir";
    private final List<String> uce;
    private String ubHihou;
    private int daIp;
    private int ang;

    public Fofo(String ubHihou) {
        deCice.moveBy(8, 0);
        this.ubHihou = ubHihou;
    }

    public static void onStart() {
        deCice = new Rectangle(0, 0, 38, 11);
    }

    public List<String> getUce() {
        return uce;
    }

    public String getUbHihou() {
        return ubHihou;
    }

    public void setUbHihou(String ubHihou) {
        this.ubHihou = ubHihou;
    }

    public int getDaIp() {
        return uce.size();
    }

    public void setDaIp(int daIp) {
        this.daIp = daIp;
    }

    private void setEsmate() {
        deCice.moveBy(2, 0);
    }

    public int getAng() {
        return NUTRE_CIPHDAUC.length();
    }

    public void setAng(int ang) {
        this.ang = ang;
    }
}
