So, what are "static members" of a class, exactly? When and why should you take use of them?
If a class contains only private data fields and no setter methods, is the class immutable?
If a member is declared private in a class, can it be accessed from other classes? If a member is declared protected in a class, can it be accessed from other classes? If a member is declared public in a class, can it be accessed from other classes?

- Is there a method to safeguard class fields from being modified in any manner?arrow_forwardIn number theory, a value can be categorized as a natural number (a whole number >0, often denoted ℕ), an integer (zero or a positive or negative whole number, including the natural numbers, often denoted ℤ), or a real number (which includes the natural numbers and integers, along with all other positive and negative numbers that are not integers, often denoted ℝ). a) write a definition for a number class that contains: (i) A single field suitable for storing either a natural number, or an integer, or a real number; (ii) Setter and getter methods for manipulating this field; (iii) A constructor that initializes new objects of number to have the value 1 (unity); (iv) a method that determines which kind of number is currently stored (returning 0 if the number is real and an integer and a natural number, 1 if the number is real and integer but not a natural number, and 2 if the number is real but neither an integer nor a natural number) Java code neededarrow_forwardExplain why accessors to private types are preferable than make the types public for the following three reasons.arrow_forward

Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged, and neutrons have no charge. In an object oriented programming language of your choice, write a definition for an atom class that contains: fields for storing the numbers of protons, neutrons and electrons with appropriate visibility; setter and getter methods for manipulating these fields, ensuring that the minimum value for electrons and protons is 1, and the minimum value for neutrons is 0; a constructor that initializes new objects of atom to be the smallest element (Hydrogen), for which the number of protons is 1, the number of neutrons is 0, and the number of electrons is 1. Write a new method for the atom class called isIon that will return true or false, depending upon whether the atom is an ion. An atom is an ion if it is charged (i.e., if the number of electrons ≠…arrow_forwardNovice: How can i access a main class objects from outside the function? / Better Alternative? If i have 4 Student objects how can i print the information for the specific object given one parameter about the class, like the students Idnumber. What i came up with was making a checkId void function that takes the user input and runs an if else chain checking if the Id belongs to student 1-4 then printing the details of that classes object with the void function print. ideally i would want the if-else chain in the checkId function to call the print( student1-4) class object but im not sure how to properly do that. i dont think this is the best way to go about it, if you have any recommendations or alternatives please help me out.arrow_forward
- In c++Create a lecturer class with member-data name (name) and department (department). For the Lecturer class, write constructors, get & set methods, and the toString () method, which returns the textual description of the object. Write a Lecture class with data member:- subject (discipline)- weekday (day of the week when it takes place)- hour (start time, integer)- online (boolean value, whether remote or not)- lecturer (object of class Lecturer)For the Lecture class, write:- constructors- get & set methods- method isItMorning (), returning a Boolean value, the result of checking whether the lecture starts at 7-11- give a new implementation of the toString () method so that it returns the text description of the Lecture objectIn the test function main ()1.

- In a class definition, is the body of any method definition ever part of the class interface?arrow_forwardCreate a class Animal and Add a protected data member named id of integer type. Add get/set methods for id data member in Animal class with public access. Also provide default constructor this should initialize id to 0. Also provide parameterized constructor and toString method. Add an abstract method tellAboutSelf method to Animal class with public access Add another abstract method speak method to Animal class. Reptile, Bird, Mammal Next create the three child classes which extends form Animal class. Add a default constructor to each of the above created class. The constructor should initialize the id data member id, Reptile, Bird and Mammal, to 1, 2 and 3 respectively also it display a message “(class Name)’s default constructor”. E.g. for Bird it says “Bird’s default constructor”. Add a parameterized constructor to each of the above created class. The constructor should initialize the id data member, Reptile, Bird and Mammal, to the specified id passed to the constructor also it…arrow_forwardAn unspecified data type can be used for both the parameters and the return type just for abstract classes (because they can not be instantiated) just for the signature of a method (i.e., the parameters) O just for the non-signature parts of the method (i.e., the return type)arrow_forward
