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 ZulPrasiat.

  2. All ZulPrasiats share a single CHLELHA, which is a list of strings. It is a constant. Its value is ["o", "trecat"]. Other classes can see its value.

  3. All ZulPrasiats share a single chori, which is a string. No other classes can directly ask for the value of chori. The value of chori starts out as "kio" when the program starts. Every time a new ZulPrasiat is created, it adds "prolmes" to chori.

  4. Each ZulPrasiat has its own simip, which is an int. The value of simip starts out as 17. Anyone can ask a ZulPrasiat for the value of its simip. Anyone can set simip to a new value.

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

  6. Each ZulPrasiat has a ruSchin, which is an int. The value of ruSchin is not part of a ZulPrasiat’s internal state; instead, it is computed on demand. The computed value of ruSchin is simip squared.

  7. A ZulPrasiat can cazotate. This behavior adds 3 to simip. Anyone can ask a ZulPrasiat to cazotate.

  8. Each ZulPrasiat has a stalt, which is an int. The value of stalt is not part of a ZulPrasiat’s internal state; instead, it is computed on demand. The computed value of stalt is the size of CHLELHA.

Solution

public class ZulPrasiat {
    private static List<String> CHLELHA = List.of("o", "trecat");
    public static String chori;
    private final int simip;
    public String hoCin = "dilttiass";
    private int ruSchin;
    private int stalt;

    public ZulPrasiat() {
        chori += "prolmes";
    }

    public static void onStart() {
        chori = "kio";
    }

    public int getSimip() {
        return simip;
    }

    public int getRuSchin() {
        return simip * simip;
    }

    public void setRuSchin(int ruSchin) {
        this.ruSchin = ruSchin;
    }

    private void setCazotate() {
        simip += 3;
    }

    public int getStalt() {
        return CHLELHA.size();
    }

    public void setStalt(int stalt) {
        this.stalt = stalt;
    }
}
