Re: Printing output of an array

The Family is composed of the father and mother (both class Adult ), and children(Child class)
[code]public class Adult extends Human
{
public Adult(String name, int age)
{
super(name);
this.age=age;
}
protected String getName()
{
return this.name;
}
public int getAge(int mAge)
{
return this.age=mAge;
}
public boolean canWatchMovie(String mR)
{
return true;
}
}
[code]
there is also MovieRating class
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. import java.util.*;
  2.  
  3. public class MovieRating 
  4. {
  5.     private Map ageMap = new HashMap();
  6.     private String movieRating;
  7.     public MovieRating()
  8.     {  
  9.         ageMap.put("PG", 18); //parental Guidance
  10.         ageMap.put("G", 4);  //general viewing
  11.         ageMap.put("A", 27);  //Adult material
  12.     }
  13.     public String getRating() 
  14.     {
  15.         return movieRating;
  16.     }
  17.  
  18.     public boolean getStatus(String rating, int age)
  19.     {
  20.         int minAge = 0;
  21.  
  22.         if(rating.equalsIgnoreCase("PG"))
  23.         {
  24.                 minAge = getPGuidance();
  25.         }
  26.         else if (rating.equalsIgnoreCase("G"))
  27.         {
  28.                 minAge = getGeneral();
  29.         }
  30.         else if (rating.equalsIgnoreCase("A"))
  31.         {
  32.                 minAge = getAdult();
  33.         }
  34.  
  35.         if(age >= minAge)
  36.         {
  37.                 return true;
  38.         }
  39.         else 
  40.         {
  41.                 return false;
  42.         }    
  43.  
  44.    }
  45.     public int getPGuidance() 
  46.     {
  47.          // Retrieve the minimum age allowed to watch movie rated PG.
  48.          return (Integer)ageMap.get("PG");
  49.     }
  50.     public int getGeneral() 
  51.     {
  52.          // Retrieve the age allowed to watch movie rated G.
  53.          return (Integer)ageMap.get("G");
  54.     }
  55.     public int getAdult() 
  56.     {
  57.          // Retrieve the age allowed to watch movie rated Adult.
  58.          return (Integer)ageMap.get("A");
  59.     }
  60.  
  61.     public Object getValue()
  62.     {
  63.         //        return ageMap.values();
  64.         return ageMap.toString();
  65.     }
  66. }

Child class
Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. public class Child extends Human
  2. {
  3.     int childAge; 
  4.     MovieRating mRts = new MovieRating();
  5.     String mrating;
  6.  
  7.     public Child(String name, int age)
  8.     {
  9.         super(name); 
  10.         this.age=age;
  11.     }
  12.  
  13.     public boolean isObjectEmpty(Object obj)
  14.     {
  15.         boolean result = obj==null;
  16.         return result;
  17.     }
  18.  
  19.     public void setAge(int age)
  20.     {
  21.        childAge = age;
  22.     }
  23.  
  24.     public int getAge(int mAge)	
  25.     { 
  26.         return this.age=mAge;
  27.     }
  28.     public String getName()
  29.     {
  30.         return this.name;
  31.     }
  32.     public boolean canWatchMovie(String mR) 
  33.     {
  34.        return mRts.getStatus(this.mrating , this.age);
  35.     }
  36. }


So the getMovieGoers method take rating as a parameter and the rating is checked by the MovieRating class, that's why I have something like this getMovieGoers(mRt.getGeneral) for movies rated G and getMovieGoers(mRt.getAdult) for movies rated A.

Re: Printing output of an array

just a couple of remarks:

what's the use of setting getName() in adult as protected?
also, just check the two codes for Child.java I post under this, the first one is the one you posted, the second one is (IMO) a bit more correct

Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. //Your current code
  2. public class Child extends Human

  9.     {
  10.         super(name); 
  11.         this.age=age;

Re: Printing output of an array

I had a couple of moments to spare, so I solved this one for you..
you did get (or should have gotten) an error message, namely
>> Adult cannot be cast to java.lang.String
and this for every time you tried to print. you were trying to cast the element of your arrayList (which was either Adult or Child of type) to a String.
I gave you a concept to follow, not the entire sollution. I'll hereby post your entire code (as I think it is) with my changes in them.

ow yeah, I commented the dog, rabbit and all that, since I don't have those classes, and didn't think they were really relevant for this exercise

take a look at it and ask back if you don't see the difference:
