In this problem you will write several static methods to work with arrays and ArrayLists. Remember that a static method does not work on the instance variables of the class. All the data needed is provided in the parameters. Call the class StaticLib
. Notice how the methods are invoked in StaticLibTester
.
StaticLib
is a utility class. It should not have instance variables or a constructor. The purpose of a class like this is to house some useful methods
public static double max(double[] numbers)
Gets the maximum value in the array. If the array is empty, we want to return something to indicate there is no largest double. But any number we pick could be the maximum in some array. So return this value Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY. This is a constant in the Double wrapper class. We will use it to indicate that the array way empty. Use the enhanced for looppublic static double max(ArrayList<Double> numbers)
Gets the maximum value in the ArrayList. If the ArrayList is empty, return Double.NEGATIVE_INFINITY. Use the enhanced for looppublic static int getCount(String[] list, String target)
determines how many times the target is in the array. public static int getCount(ArrayList<String> list, String target)
determines how many times the target is in the ArrayList Notice that there are two methods called max
and two methods called getCount.
These are examples of overloading - methods with the same name but different number and type of parameters. The compiler tells them apart because in each case, one takes an array and one an ArrayList as a parameter.
When using the enhanced for loop, the implementation of the pairs of methods will be very similar. The exact same loop works for both
Provide Javadoc. Look at the documentation produced for StaticLib
. The Javadoc utility works on static methods, too.
For the draft, implement the first max method

In this problem you will use the design pattern for maintaining state. Write a Wildebeest
class. A Wildebeest
has 4 states. You will define and use these static constants to represent the states.
public static final int NOT_HUNGRY = 1;
public static final int SOMEWHAT_HUNGRY = 2;
public static final int HUNGRY = 3;
public static final int VERY_HUNGRY = 4;
In your code you can not assume what the value is for any of the constants, but you can assume that the values are consecutive integers. That is, VERY_HUNGRY will be 1 greater than HUNGRY, etc.
Wildebeests migrate across the Serengeti Plain in Tanzania.
A Wildebeest
runs across the plain and as it runs, it becomes more hungry. If it is NOT_HUNGRY
, it becomes SOMEWHAT_HUNGRY
. If it is SOMEWHAT_HUNGRY
, it becomes HUNGRY
and so on. When the Wildebeest
sees food, if it is in any of the "hungry states", it will eat and become one level less hungry. If the Wildebeest
is VERY_HUNGRY
when it sees food, it will eat and become HUNGRY
. The next time it sees food, it will eat again and become SOMEWHAT_HUNGRY
. If it is NOT_HUNGRY
, it does not eat and its state does not change.
The Wildebeest
can not be less than NOT_HUNGRY
or more than VERY_HUNGRY
.
The constructor takes no parameters. A Wildebeest
is very hungry when it is creates so the constructor must initialize the state to VERY_HUNGRY
. (Do not set it to the literal 4)
Provide methods:
public void run()
the Wildebeest
becomes more hungry if not already VERY_HUNGRY
public void seeFood()
the Wildebeest
will eat if it is hungry and become less hungry. If it is NOT_HUNGRY
, it does not eatpublic int getState()
Gets the integer representing the state, an integer 1 through 4. public String getHungerLevel()
Gets a string describing the current hunger state of the Wildebeest
: "Not hungry", "Somewhat hungry ,"Hungry", or "Very hungry"Provide Javadoc
For the draft, provide the static constants, implement the constructor, and the getState()
method. Implement the other methods as stubs. Provide Javadoc

Now we are going to use the design pattern for collecting objects. We are going to model a GardenStore
with plants. A GardenStore
uses an ArrayList
to keep track of Plant
objects. You will write both a GardenStore
class and a Plant
class.
A Plant
has a name and a price. Provide a constructor that takes name and price, in that order. Provide getters and setters for the instance variables. This is the design pattern for managing properties of objects.
A GardenStore
has a constructor that takes no parameters. Remember it must initialize the instance variable
It has methods
add()
Adds the specified Plant
to the GardenStore
sum()
Finds the total cost of all Plants
in the GardenStore
contains()
determines if a Plant
with a given name is in the GardenStore
. Returns true if a Plant
with that name is in the GardenStore
. Otherwise false.plantList()
gets an ArrayList<String> containing the names of the Plants
in the GardenStore
.(Updated 11/10)Provide Javadoc for both classes.
For the draft: implement the Plant
class
Note: The Plant
class will not change in the final, but you will need to submit it again so that GardenStore
can find it.
