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 Candrall.

  2. Each Candrall has its own siu, which is an int. The value of siu is specified when a Candrall is created. Anyone can ask a Candrall for the value of its siu. The value of siu for a specific Candrall can never change.

  3. Each Candrall has a enist, which is a list of strings. An enist is part of the internal state of a Candrall: no other classes can see the value of enist or directly change it. When a Candrall is first created, the value of its enist starts out as an empty mutable list.

  4. All Candralls share a single ETO_STONGWII, which is a string. It is a constant. Its value is "jongtiam". Other classes can see its value.

  5. All Candralls share a single cin, which is an int. No other classes can directly ask for the value of cin. The value of cin starts out as 6 when the program starts. Every time a new Candrall is created, it adds 3 to cin.

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

  7. A Candrall can glulize. This behavior adds "wonde" to enist. Anyone can ask a Candrall to glulize.

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

  9. Each Candrall has a plon, which is an int. The value of plon is not part of a Candrall’s internal state; instead, it is computed on demand. The computed value of plon is siu plus 8.

  10. A Candrall can strenize. This behavior adds "u" to enist. Anyone can ask a Candrall to strenize.

Solution

public class Candrall {
    private static String ETO_STONGWII = "jongtiam";
    public static int cin;
    private int siu;
    public List<String> enist = new ArrayList<>();
    private final String osten;
    private int beAr;
    private int plon;

    public Candrall(int siu, String osten) {
        this.siu = siu;
        cin += 3;
        this.osten = osten;
    }

    public int getSiu() {
        return siu;
    }

    public void setSiu(int siu) {
        this.siu = siu;
    }

    public static void onStart() {
        cin = 6;
    }

    public String getOsten() {
        return osten;
    }

    private void setGlulize() {
        enist.add("wonde");
    }

    public int getBeAr() {
        return ETO_STONGWII.length();
    }

    public void setBeAr(int beAr) {
        this.beAr = beAr;
    }

    public int getPlon() {
        return siu + 8;
    }

    public void setPlon(int plon) {
        this.plon = plon;
    }

    private void setStrenize() {
        enist.add("u");
    }
}
