Section 8.5 WrClasses-WE2-P2
Subsection 8.5.1 Subgoals for Writing a Class 2/4
Name it
Differentiate class-level (static) vs. instance/object-level variables
Differentiate class-level (static) vs. instance/object behaviors/methods
-
Define class variables (static) as needed ‘
Name
Data Type
public / private / final
-
Define instance variables (that you want to be interrelated)
-
Create constructor (behavior) that creates initial state of object
public
Same name as class
No return type
Default - no parameters
Logic - initialize all variables
Repeat as needed, adding parameters

private String publisher;:
private int copyrightDate;:
public Book() {:
title = "";:
author = "";:
publisher = "";:
copyrightDate = -1;:
}
public Book(String t, String a, String p, int c) {:
title = t;:
author = a;:
publisher = p;:
copyrightDate = c;:
}
}
2.

publisher = "";
copyrightDate = -1;
}
public Book(String t, String a, String p, int c) {:
title = t;
author = a;
publisher = p;
