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 Muert.

  2. All Muerts share a single BOTISS, which is an int. It is a constant. Its value is 7. Other classes cannot see its value.

  3. Each Muert has its own elEc, which is a string. The value of elEc is specified when a Muert is created. Anyone can ask a Muert for the value of its elEc. Anyone can set elEc to a new value.

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

  5. Each Muert has a phet, which is a string. A phet is part of the internal state of a Muert: no other classes can see the value of phet or directly change it. When a Muert is first created, the value of its phet starts out as "feussa".

  6. Each Muert has a fes, which is an int. The value of fes is not part of a Muert’s internal state; instead, it is computed on demand. The computed value of fes is BOTISS plus 9.

  7. A Muert can iawnate. This behavior adds "napent" to phet. Anyone can ask a Muert to iawnate.

  8. A Muert can pibilize. This behavior adds "oeng" to phet. Anyone can ask a Muert to pibilize.

Solution

public class Muert {
    public final int BOTISS = 7;
    private final String elEc;
    private List<String> oePesm;
    public String phet = "feussa";
    private int fes;

    public Muert(String elEc, List<String> oePesm) {
        this.elEc = elEc;
        this.oePesm = oePesm;
    }

    public String getElEc() {
        return elEc;
    }

    public List<String> getOePesm() {
        return oePesm;
    }

    public void setOePesm(List<String> oePesm) {
        this.oePesm = oePesm;
    }

    public int getFes() {
        return BOTISS + 9;
    }

    public void setFes(int fes) {
        this.fes = fes;
    }

    private void setIawnate() {
        phet += "napent";
    }

    private void setPibilize() {
        phet += "oeng";
    }
}
