Creating Classes

Introduction

Note: This can be a pair programming activity or done independently.

In this lab you will be using your knowledge of classes to create two classes that will be used in the main method. To calculate

Starter code

There is no starter code. Create a new project in IntelliJ for this lab

Exercise

Requirements

StopLight Class
  • Create a StopLight class with the following global variable: lightColor
  • Create a constructor that sets the lightColor to a value of your choice.
  • Create the following methods that accept no input: isRed, isYellow, isGreen.
  • Implement the methods to return true when the lightColor matches the color of the method. i.e; isRed() should return true if lightColor is red.
  • Create a method setLightColor, that accepts a parameter to change the lightColor variable. Make sure to handle when the wrong input is given to the method.
Car Class
  • Create a Car class with the following global variables: color, brand, topSpeed
  • Create a constructor that assigns values to the color, brand, and topSpeed variables.
  • Implement go, slow, and stop methods that print something out. (You can print whatever is appropriate for the methods)
  • Create individual getter methods that print out the color, brand, and topSpeed of the car.
  • Create individual setter methods that set the color, brand, and topSpeed of the car.
Main Java Class
  • Instantiate a StopLight object in the Main.java class using the constructor you created in the StopLight class.
  • Instantiate a Car object in the Main.java class using the constructor you created in the Car class.
  • In the Main.java class, create a loop(while, do while, for loop; your choice) that runs 30 times.
  • Inside the loop; change the lightColor of the StopLight object in the correct sequence and have the Car object react accordingly to the StopLight lightColor using the Car object's methods for each iteration. (Each time you loop back, change the lightColor)

Bonus:

  • Have 20 cars react to the stop light.
  • Randomly have a car run the red light.

Deliverable

Pull request from forked Project on GitHub that contains your implementation of the StopLight class, the Car class, and the main program that uses the classes you created.
