Question

I have completed a large portion of this work... but I don't know if it is good enough. Please look it over and give me any advice, tips, critiques, etc. I think I may need more constructors.

Here are the directions to this portion:

4. Before you begin modifying and creating classes, your team lead reminds you to demonstrate industry standard best practices in all your code to ensure clarity, consistency, and efficiency among all software developers working on the program. This includes ensuring the following:
   • In-line comments denote your changes and briefly describe the functionality of each method or element of the class
   • Appropriate variable and method naming conventions are used throughout your code

5. Once you have completed your pre-work, you are ready to begin your assigned tasks. To start, modify the RescueAnimal.java class file by adding accessor and mutator methods for each instance variable.

Here is the code so far:

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

public class RescueAnimal {

// Instance variables
private String name;
private String type;
private String gender;
private int age;
private float weight;
private SimpleDateFormat acquisitionDate;
private SimpleDateFormat statusDate;
private String acquisitionSource;
private Boolean reserved;

private String trainingLocation;
private SimpleDateFormat trainingStart;
private SimpleDateFormat trainingEnd;
private String trainingStatus;

private String inServiceCountry;
private String inServiceCity;
private String inServiceAgency;
private String inServicePOC;
private String inServiceEmail;
private String inServicePhone;
private String inServicePostalAddress;

// Constructor: initialize objects
public RescueAnimal() {
}
  
  

// Add Accessor Methods here: aka "getters"
  
public String getName() {
       return name;
       }
  
   public String getType() {
       return type;
   }
  
   public String getGender() {
       return gender;
   }
  
   public int getAge() {
       return age;
   }
  
   public float getWeight() {
       return weight;
   }
  
   public SimpleDateFormat getAcquisitionDate() {
       return acquisitionDate;
   }
  
   public SimpleDateFormat getStatusDate() {
       return statusDate;
   }
  
   public String getAcquisitionSource() {
       return acquisitionSource;
   }
  
   public Boolean getReserved() {
       return reserved;
   }
  
   public String getTrainingLocation() {
       return trainingLocation;
   }
  
   public SimpleDateFormat getTrainingStart() {
       return trainingStart;
   }
  
   public SimpleDateFormat getTrainingEnd() {
       return trainingEnd;
   }
  
   public String getTrainingStatus() {
       return trainingStatus;
   }
  
   public String getInServiceCountry() {
       return inServiceCountry;
   }
  
   public String getInServiceCity() {
       return inServiceCity;
   }
  
   public String getInServiceAgency() {
       return inServiceAgency;
   }
  
   public String getInServicPOC() {
       return inServicPOC;

   }
  
   public String getInServicePhone() {
       return inServicePhone;
   }
  
   public String getInServicePostalAddress() {
       return inServicePostalAddress;
   }
  
  

// Add Mutator Methods here: aka "modifiers"
  
   public void setName(String name) {
       this.name = name;
   }

   public void setType(String type) {
       this.type = type;
   }
  
   public void setGender(String gender) {
       this.gender = gender;
   }
  
   public void setAge(int age) {
       this.age = age;
   }
  
   public void setWeight(float weight) {
       this.weight = weight;
   }
  
   public void setAcquisitionDate(SimpleDateFormat acquisitionDate) {
       this.acquisitionDate = acquisitionDate;
   }
  
  
   public void setStatusDate(SimpleDateFormat statusDate) {
       this.statusDate = statusDate;
   }
  
   public void setAcquisitionSource(String acquisitionSource) {
       this.acquisitionSource = acquisitionSource;
   }
  
   public void setReserved(Boolean reserved) {
       this.reserved = reserved;
   }
  
   public void setTrainingLocation(String trainingLocation) {
       this.trainingLocation = trainingLocation;
   }
  
   public void setTrainingStart(SimpleDataFormat trainingStart) {
       this.trainingStart = trainingStart;
   }
  
   public void setTrainingEnd(SimpleDateFormat trainingEnd) {
       this.trainingEnd = trainingEnd;
   }
  
   public void setTrainingStatus(String trainingStatus) {
       this.trainingStatus = trainingStatus;
   }
  
   public void setInServiceCountry(String inServiceCountry) {
       this.inServiceCountry = inServiceCountry;
