Hello, im new to this forum. I have an assignment for class that I am really confused with, please can you guys take a look and help me with the code or point me in the right direction, I am not asking anyone to do it for me...I ofcoarse wouldn't mind that but here's the assignment:

Objective: To practice using iteration and selection constructs in Java, and writing a class.

Write a class RabbitPopulation that simulates the growth of a rabbit population. The rules are as follows:

1. Start with one pair of rabbits (i.e., one male and one female)
2. Rabbits are able to mate at the age of one month. A month later, the female produces a pair of rabbits (one male, one female).
3. Assume that a female rabbit always produces a pair of rabbits every month from the second month on.
4. Assume that rabbits never die of old age.
5. Implement a method waitAMonth that updates the population as if one month passed.
6. Implement a method hunt that updates the population as if hunters killed 10 percent of the pairs (both immature and mature).
7. Implement a method getPairs that prints the current number of rabbit pairs.
8. Write a test program that shows the growth of the rabbit population for ten months in two situations:
in the case that no hunting occurs
in the case that hunting occurs once each month.

Hint: Keep one instance field for the newborn rabbit pairs and another one for the rabbit pairs that are at least one month old.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read it and helping me out...any help would be appreciated!

Do your own homework, we're not here to teach you that you can sit back on your lazy **** while others do your job for you.

omg can u read?? didnt i say in there that im not asking u to do it for me.... :mad:

I think what jwenting was trying to say is... Give your best shot at your program and then ask for help on specific parts of your program.

Or you can wait until either freesoft 2000 or NPL see this thread, do your work for you and then try and get you to purchase stuff from them.

Regards,

Nate

hahaha lmao...."free"soft 2000 and he wud try to get me to buy stuff...ironic aint it :cheesy:

r all u guys on here super java geniuses or just ppl lookin to bash on noobs!

No, I think most want to help new programmers that have at least tried to do their homework but run into some difficulty with it.

Some others do it for acceptance. Others do it to try and make a buck in the long run.

But not me. I'm different.

I do it to stroke my ego.

It's obvious you want your homework done for you.

Have you even tried yet? I haven't seen any work..

Money....? Sounds good.

I'll write this for you if you want to become my client. Looking forward to working with you!

hello server_crash, yes I have tried it.
Here is what I have so far:

Any help would be apreciated, u can see my assignment in the first post!
I would like to know what I would have to do next so far i was able to understand it!

public class RabbitPopulation
{
private int rabbits;
private int rabbitChild;
public int adultRabbits;
public int babyRabbits;

public RabbitPopulation()
{
rabbits = 1;
rabbitChild = 0;
adultRabbits = rabbits;
babyRabbits = rabbitChild;
}

public int waitAMonth()
{
int couple = adultRabbits;
adultRabbits = adultRabbits + babyRabbits;
babyRabbits = couple;
rabbits = adultRabbits;
return rabbits;
}

public int getPairs()
{
return rabbits;
}
