Question

You need to write a program for students who receive bursaries in the department, managing the free hours they have to do.

For each recipient you store the recipient’s name and the number of hours outstanding.

All recipients start with 90 hours.

Implement class Recipients which has the private attributes Name and Hours.

In addition to the constructor, the class has the following methods:

public String getName()

// Returns the name of the recipient

public int getHours()

// Returns the hours outstanding

public void setHours(int P)

// Sets the hours outstanding

In the application class (main method), do the following

• Create three instances of Recipients, for Xola, David and Sandy

• Change their number hours outstanding, after each one worked the following time:

o Xola – 15 hours

o David – 10 hours

o Sandy – 20 hours

• Display the total number of hours due by the three recipients (add them up)

Answer 1

Code

public class Bursary
 {
 private String Name;
 private int Hours;
     
  Bursary(String n,int h) //constructor
  {
    Name=n;
    Hours=h;
  }
  public String getName() //return the name
  {
    return Name;
  }
  public int getHours() //return due hours
  {
    return Hours;
  }
  public void setHours(int h) //update the hours
  {
    Hours=Hours-h;
  }
  public static void main(String[] args)
  { 
      //create instances and using constructors
      Bursary X = new Bursary("Xola",90);
      Bursary D = new Bursary("David",90);
      Bursary S = new Bursary("Sandy",90);
      X.setHours(15);
      D.setHours(10);
      S.setHours(20);
      int sum= X.getHours()+ D.getHours()+ S.getHours();
      System.out.println("Total number of due hours is "+sum);
  }

}
