Abstraction

Lab Objective:

In this lab, you will demonstrate the Java Abstraction and we will utilize the previous lab (GLAB - 303.10.2)

Introduction:

In the previous lab (GLAB - 303.10.2), we used examples of Shapes. We created Circle, Rectangle, and Triangle objects. The Shape class can only be used as a superclass for Inheritance and Polymorphism purposes; it cannot be used for objects. The class that is not used for creating objects is known as abstract. Using an abstract class, you can improve the Shape class that was shown in the previous lab (GLAB - 303.10.2). Since there is no meaningful concept of area for an undefined two-dimensional shape, the following version of the program declares getArea( ) as an abstract method inside the Shape class. This means that all classes derived from the Shape class must override getArea( ). Remember that we cannot instantiate the Abstract class; so there is no need to create a Constructor in the Abstract class. We will remove the constructor from the Shape class and make a few changes in all subclasses accordingly.

Shape Class

Create a class named Shape. This will be an Abstract class and superclass. Write the code below:

public abstract class Shape {
   protected String color;
   protected double height;
   protected double width;
   protected double base;

   public void setColor(String color) {
       this.color = color;
   }

   public void setWidth(double width) {
       this.width = width;
   }

   public void setHeight(double height) {
       this.height = height;
   }

   public void setBase(double base) {
       this.base = base;
   }

   // The getArea method is abstract.
   // It must be overridden in a subclass.
   /** All shapes must provide a method called getArea() */
   public abstract double getArea();

   /** Returns a self-descriptive string */
   public String toString() {
       return "Shape[color=" + color + "]";
   }

   public void displayshapName()
   {
       System.out.println("I am a Shape.");
   }
}

Circle Class

Create a class named Circle. This will be a Child class. Write a code below:

public class Circle extends Shape {
   protected double radius;
   private final double PI = Math.PI;

   public Circle(double radius) {
       this.radius = radius;
   }

   public Circle(double radius, double height) {
       this.radius = radius;
       super.height = height;
   }
   public double getArea() {
       double area = PI * Math.pow(this.radius, 2); // initializing value in parent class variable
       return area; //reference to  parent class variable
   }
   @Override
   public void displayshapName() {
       System.out.println("Drawing a Circle of radius " + this.radius);
   }
   /** Returns a self-descriptive string */
   @Override
   public String toString() {
       return "Circle[ radius = " + radius + super.toString() + "]";
   }
}

Rectangle Class

Create a class named Rectangle. This will be a Child class. Write the code below:

public  class Rectangle extends Shape {

   public Rectangle(String color) {
       super.color = color;
   }

   public Rectangle() {
   }

   public Rectangle(String color, double width, double height) {
    super.height = height;
    super.width = width;
    super.color = color;
   }

   @Override
   public double getArea() {
       return super.width *  super.height;
   }

   //Overriding method of base class with different implementation
   @Override
   public void displayshapName() {
       System.out.println("I am a Rectangle"  );
   }

   @Override
   public String toString() {
       return "Rectangle[height=" + height + ",width=" + width + "," + super.toString() + "]";
   }
}

Triangle Class

Create a class named Triangle. This will be a Child class. Write the code below:

public class Triangle extends Shape {

   public Triangle(){}

   public Triangle(String color) {
      super.color = color;
   }

   public void setBase(int base) {
       this.base = base;
   }

   @Override
   public double getArea() {
          return 0.5*super.base * super.height;
   }

   //Overriding method of base class with different implementation
   @Override
   public void displayshapName() {
       System.out.println("I am a TriAngle"  );
   }

   /** Returns a self-descriptive string */
   @Override
   public String toString() {
       return "Triangle[base=" + super.base + ",height=" + super.height + "," + super.toString() + "]";
   }
}

myRunner Class

Create a class named myRunner. This will be the Main class or entry point for the application. Write the code below:

public class myRunner {
   public static void main(String[] args) {

       Circle c = new Circle(100);
       System.out.println("Area of Circle " + c.getArea());

        // Shape sObj = new Shape(); // This will give Error, we can not instantiate Abstract class

       // object creation of the Circle class
       System.out.println("+++++++++++++++++");
       // it’s fine because a Circle is a Shape by inheritance
       Shape shapeCircleObj = new Circle(100);  // UpCasting
       shapeCircleObj.displayshapName();
       System.out.println("Area of Circle " + shapeCircleObj.getArea());
       System.out.println(shapeCircleObj);  // Run circle's toString()
       // Use instanceof operator for Validation
       System.out.println(shapeCircleObj instanceof Circle); // true

       System.out.println("+++++++++++++++++");
       Shape shapeRectangleObj = new Rectangle("Red"); //UpCasting
       shapeRectangleObj.displayshapName();
       shapeRectangleObj.setHeight(2);
       shapeRectangleObj.setWidth(4);
       System.out.println("Area of Rectangle is " + shapeRectangleObj.getArea());
       System.out.println(shapeRectangleObj);  // Run Rectangle's toString()
       // Use instanceof operator for Validation
       System.out.println(shapeRectangleObj instanceof Rectangle); // true

       System.out.println("--------------------");
       Shape shapeTriangleObj = new Triangle("Blue"); //UpCasting
       shapeTriangleObj.displayshapName();
       shapeTriangleObj.setHeight(10);
       shapeTriangleObj.setBase(15);
       System.out.println("Area of Triangle is " + shapeTriangleObj.getArea());
       System.out.println(shapeTriangleObj);  // Run Triangle's toString()
   }
}

Output:

Area of Circle 31415.926535897932
