Part II: Program Writing
Q1. Design and write a Java class named Fan to represent a fan.
The data items for the class are colour, speed (whose value is either 1,2 or 3) and status
(whose value is either ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’).
The class contains only the accessor methods to retrieve the value of instance variables.
The class has a constructor with 1 parameter that represents the fan colour.
The constructor initialises speed to 1 and status to ‘OFF’.
The class has an instance method named setSpeed.
The method has 1 parameter representing the speed for a fan.
The method modifies status to ‘ON’ and changes fan speed to the parameter value.
Q2. (a) A hotel room reservation application has a class Room that represents a hotel
room and a class Guest that represents a guest who has checked into the room.
The class Guest has instance variables name (type String) that represents the name
of the guest who has checked in to a room and dateIn (type String) that represents
the date of check in, with accessor methods only to retrieve the instance variables.
It also has a constructor with 2 parameters to initialise the instance variables.
Write the class definition for class Room. It has instance variables number (type
int) that represents the room number and guest (type Guest) that represents a guest
who has checked into the room. You must include the followings:
• Accessor methods only to retrieve the instance variables.
• A constructor with 1 parameter that represents the room number to initialise
number. The constructor initialises guest to null.
• An instance method named checkIn() that has 2 parameters that represent the
name of the guest who has checked in and the date of the check in. The
method creates a Guest object and assigns it to instance variable guest. The
method does not return anything.
• An instance method named checkOut() that does not have any parameters and
does not return anything. The method assigns null to instance variable guest.
• An instance method named isAvailable() that returns false if instance variable
guest currently refers to a Guest object and true if it is null. The method does
not have any parameters. [Note: true and false are type boolean].
(15 marks)
(b) Refer to the Room class and Guest class in Q2. (a), write the class definition for
class Hotel. It has instance variables numberOfRooms that represents the number
of rooms in the hotel and rooms which is an array that can store up to 3 Room
objects. You must include the followings:
• Accessor methods only to retrieve the instance variables.
• A constructor that receives an array of Room objects of size 3 as a parameter.
The constructor assigns the array to rooms and initialises numberOfRooms to
3.
• An instance method named findRoom() that has a parameter that represents a
room number. The method returns the Room object that has the matching
room number. If no Room object matches the room number, the method
returns null.
(c) Refer to the Hotel class in Q2. (b), write the main() method for another class
HotelApp that:
• creates 3 Room objects with room numbers 101, 102, and 103 and stores them
in an array.
• then creates a Hotel object to represent a hotel with 3 rooms represented by
the 3 Room objects.
[Note: No need to do any input. Hardcode the values]
