Question

Language: JAVA

Part a: Write a class called Geniegotchi with:

1. Private data fields: name (of String type, initialized to “Bob”), endurance (of int type, initialized to 4) and happiness (of int type, initialized to 3);

2. Public methods:

-void setName(String newName) : renames Genie with newName, printsnewName confirmation to screen;

void setName(String newName) : renames Genie with newName, printsnewName confirmation to screen;

- intgetEndurance() : returns current endurance;

-intgetHappiness() : returns current happiness;

-void feed() : this method increases current endurance by 1 if endurance is less than 10, otherwise it prints a “No, thanks...” message to the screen;

-void play() : if happiness is less than 10, then this method increases current happiness by 1 and decreases current endurance by 2, otherwise it prints a “No, thanks...” message to the screen;

-voidaskFortune() : if happiness is greater than 6 and endurance is greater than 5 (that is, if your Genie is happy and healthy enough to predict your fortune...), then:

- using Math.random(), pick a random number ran between 1 and100 (inclusive);

-display to the screen the fortune from line number ran in the fortunes.txt file;

-if happiness is greater than 6 but endurance is at most 5, then: – display message to screen regarding low endurance;

-ifendurance greater than 5 but happiness is at most 6, then: – display message to screen regarding low happiness;

-if both endurance and happiness are at most 5 and 6 respectively, then: – display message telling user to feed and play with the Geniegotchi.

-Regardless of branch, this method should reduce both endurance and happiness by 1.

Part b: Write a class called GeniegotchiDemo containing two static methods:

1. public static void printMenu() :

Prints a welcoming message and the menu. 0- Quit

1- Rename your Geniegotchi

2- Get current stats on Geniegotch

3- Feed your Geniegotchi

4- Play with your Geniegotchi

5- Ask your fortune!

6- Print Menu

(keep options and functionality the same, but feel free to customize these strings)

2. public static void main(String[] args) :

-instantiates a Geniegotchi object;

-prints the menu;

-repeatedly asks for user to enter menu option and performs appropriate actions given user input until user selects 0;

Other than the game stopping when user selects 0 (which should print a nice good bye message), the game should also stop if the Geniegotchi runs out of happiness or endurance (the user is messaged that the Geniegotchi has run away either hungry or unhappy).

Part c: In a text file called genie.txt, answer the following questions:

1. Why is it important for instance variables to be private?

2. Propose a new method for the Geniegotchi class. Provide its signature and describe what it does (what it takes, what it returns, etc). You do not have to implement it.

1. It is important for instance variables to be private, because if it is private then Any child class can use the class variables without having its refference. If it is private, then the variables can be accessed through only the instance of parent class.
For example, there is a class for bank account. Then balance, credit , debit will be the variables
Some one can change there balances as they wish if they are public variables.
If they are private variables then they will be accessed only through the methods with in the class. They cannot be changed explicitly.

2. void getName() method is proposed because while getting the stats of the genie it should be required, as the variable is declared as private. We can get the name only through the method. So, i suggest the void getName() method.
