Question

I have done a decent amount of coding... but I need you to help me understand what I do not. Please, post comments so that I can learn from you.

Here are the instructions for this portion of the project:

Create the Monkey class, using the specification document as a guide. The Monkey class must do the following:

• Inherit from the RescueAnimal class
• Implement all attributes with appropriate data structures
• Include accessors and mutators for all implemented attributes

Here is the code I have:

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

public class Monkey extends RescueAnimal {
  
   //constructor for input and calls super class constructor
   //assign Monkey class input and assign variables
  
public Monkey (String name, String type, String gender, int age, float weight,
       SimpleDateFormat aquisitionDate, SimpleDateFormat statusDate, String acquisitionSource,
       Boolean reserved, String trainingLocation, SimpleDateFormat trainingStart, SimpleDateFormat
       trainingEnd, String trainingStatus, String inServiceCountry, String inServiceCity, String
       inServiceAgency, String inServicePOC, String inServiceEmail, String inServicePhone, String
       inServicePostalAddress, int tailLength, int height, int bodyLength, String species, int
       measurementOfTorso, int measurementOfSkull, int measurementOfNeck)
}

   //calling super class constructor

   super(name, type, gender, age, weight, acquisitionDate, statusDate, acquisitionSource, reserved,
           trainingLocation, trainingStart, trainingEnd, trainingStatus, inServiceCountry, inServiceCity,
           inServiceAgency, inServicePOC, inServiceEmail, inServicePhone, inServicePostalAddress);
  
   //assign variables of Monkey class
  
   this.tailLength = tailLength;
   this.height = height;
   this.bodyLength = bodyLength;
   this.species = species;
   this.measurementOfTorso = measurementOfTorso;
   this.measurementOfSkull = measurementOfSkull;
   this.measurementOfNeck = measurementOfNeck;
   }
  
   //define variables for Monkey class
  
   private int tailLength;
   private int height;
   private int bodyLength;
   private String species;
   private int measurementOfTorso;
   private int measurementOfSkull;
   private int measurementOfNeck;
  
   //define accessor functions
  
   public int getTailLength() {
       return getTailLength;
   }
  
   public int getHeight() {
       return height;
   }
  
   public int getBodyLength() {
       return bodyLength;
   }
  
   public String getSpecies() {
       return species;
   }
  
   public int getMeasurementOfTorso() {
       return measurementOfTorso;
   }
  
   public int getMeasurementOfSkull() {
       return measurementOfSkull;
   }
  
   public int getMeasurementOfNeck() {
       return measurementOfNeck;
   }

  
   //define mutator functions
  
   public void setTailLength(int tailLength) {
       this.tailLength = tailLength;
   }
  
   public void setHeight(int height) {
       this.height = height;
   }
  
   public void setBodyLength(int bodyLength) {
       this.bodyLength = bodyLength;
   }
  
   public void setSpecies(String species) {
       this.species = species;
   }
  
   public void setMeasurementOfTorso(int measurementOfTorso) {
       this.measurementOfTorso = measurementOfTorso;
   }
  
   public void setMeasurementOfSkull(int measurementOfSkull) {
       this.measurementOfSkull = measurementOfSkull;
   }
  
   public void setMeasurementOfNeck(int measurementOfNeck) {
       this.measurementOfNeck = measurementOfNeck;
   }
  
}

IT ONLY GIVES ME SO MUCH ROOM TO POST: HERE IS THE ABSTRACT CLASS... I ALSO HAVE DOG CLASS AND AM WORKING ON A DRIVER CLASS NOW:

Answer 1

Working code implemented in Java and appropriate comments provided for better understanding:

Here I am attaching code for these files:

• Dog.java
• Monkey.java
• RescueAnimal.java
• Driver.java

Source code for Dog.java:

public class Dog extends RescueAnimal {

}

// Mutator Method
public void setBreed(String dogBreed) {
breed = dogBreed;
}

}
