Guide to Object-oriented Programming With Java (University at Buffalo Version)

Chapter 10: Working With Classes

Most Java applications are made up of multiple classes. As long as the class is in the same package then it can be referenced from any other class in the same package.

The next three (3) figures show the classes that make up a storefront inventory report. The Storefront object is a "super" class. The GiftShop is a Storefront object and the catalog is stored in an ArrayList of Item objects.

package buffalo.edu.fa23.your-last-name;
  
import java.util.LinkedList;
import java.util.Collections;
  
public class StoreFront {

  private LinkedList catalog = new LinkedList();
  
  public void addItem (String id, String name, String price, String quant) {
    Item it = new Item(id, name, price, quant);
    catalog.add(it);
  }

  public Item getItem(int i) {
    return (Item) catalog.get(i);
  }

  public int getSize() {
    return catalog.size();
  }

  public void sort() {
    Collections.sort(catalog);
  }
}

Figure 10-1 Storefront.java Code

package buffalo.edu.fa23.your-last-name;
  
public class GiftShop {

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Storefront store = new Storefront();
    store.addItem("C01", "MUG", "9.99", "150");
    store.addItem("C02", "LG MUG", "12.99", "82");
    store.addItem("C03", "MOUSEPAD", "10.49", "800");
    store.addItem("D01", "T SHIRT", "16.99", "90");
    store.sort();

    for (int i = 0; i < store.getSize(); i++) {
      Item show = (Item) store.getItem(i);
      System.out.println("\nItem ID: " + show.getId() +
      "\nName: " + show.getName() +
      "\nRetail Price: $" + show.getRetail() +
      "\nPrice: $" + show.getPrice() +
      "\nQuantity: " + show.getQuantity());
    }
  }
}
