Thread: Help with plotting x-y coordinates.

HELLO Im New Here! ..and having problems about this ..I am doing #2 which requires #1. And im done with my code. and i have this little confuse about the Cylinder class here's the question :

3. Every cylinder has a base and height, where the base is a circle. Design the class CYLINDER that can capture the properties of a cylinder and perform the usual operations on a cylinder. Derive this from the class CIRCLE designed in No.2. Some operations that can be performed by the cylinder are as follows: calculate and print the volume, calculate and print the surface area, set the height, set the radius of the base, and set the center of the base.

Im confuse about this because of Polymorphism.. I miss the lecture because im late..but im doing a self study but about this problem i cant understand and do the coding.. but i have already done in inheritance the questions & coding of 1 and 2.. here is my code for #1
This is for Point.java

class Point
{
    // Declare variables
    private double x;
    private double y;
 
    // Empty constructor
    public Point()
    {
    }
 
    // Constructor with variables
    public Point(double x, double y)
    {
        this.x = x;
        this.y = y;
    }
 
    // Used to set the new x-coordinate
    public void setX(double x)
    {
        this.x = x;
    }
 
    // Used to set the new y-coordinate
    public void setY(double y)
    {
        this.y = y;
    }
 
    // Used to display the x-coordinate
    public double getX()
    {
        return x;
    }
 
    // Used to display the y-coordinate
    public double getY()
    {
        return y;
    }
}

This is for the Circle.java which extends Point.java

import java.lang.*;
 
public class Circle extends Point
{
    // Declare variables
    private double r;
 
    // Empty constructor
    public Circle()
    {
    }
 
    // Constructor with variables
    public Circle(double x, double y, double r)
    {
        super(x, y);
        this.r = r;
    }
 
    // Used to set the radius
    public void setR(double r)
    {
        this.r = r;
    }
 
    // Used to return the radius
    public double getR()
    {
        return r;
    }
 
    // Calculates the area
    public double area()
    {
        return Math.PI*r*r;
    }
 
    // Calculates the circumference
    public double circumference()
    {
        return 2*Math.PI*r;
    }
}

And Ive created a class to test my Code which i named Tester.java

import java.util.*;
 
public class Tester
{
    static Scanner console = new Scanner(System.in);
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        // Declare variables
        int loopDecision, xC, yC, rC;
 
        // Loop statement
        System.out.println("Enter 1 to insert your own values. " +
                                    "Enter 2 to use preset values.");
        loopDecision = console.nextInt();
 
        /* If 1 is chosen then it goes into the if loop.
         * In the if loop the user will be able to set their
         * own coordinates and radius. They will then get the
         * area of the circle and the circumference. */
        if(loopDecision == 1)
        {
            // Ask user to input values
            System.out.println("Enter a number 1-10 for the X coordinate.");
            xC = console.nextInt();
            System.out.println("Enter a number 1-10 for the Y coordinate.");
            yC = console.nextInt();
            System.out.println("Enter the radius.");
            rC = console.nextInt();
            System.out.println();
 
            // Set the Circle class.
            Circle p = new Circle(xC, yC, rC);
 
            // Display their entered values
            System.out.println("X coordinate = " + p.getX());
            System.out.println("Y coordinate = " + p.getY());
            System.out.println();
 
            // These two for loops display the values on the side and bottom
 
            for(int i = 10; i > 0; i--)
            {
                System.out.println(i);
            }
            for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
            {
                System.out.print(" " + i);
            }
 
            System.out.println();
            System.out.println("Radius = " + p.getR());
            // Display the area and circle
            System.out.println("Area of the circle = " + p.area());
            System.out.println("Circumference of the circle = " + p.circumference());
        }
 
        /* In the else loop the user will be able to see
         * the varius functions of the program. Using preset
         * values assigned by me. */
        else
        {
            // Set the values
            Circle p = new Circle(10, 3, 5);
            System.out.println();
 
            // Display the starting values
            System.out.println("Initial x-coordinate = " + p.getX());
            System.out.println("Initial y-coordinate = " + p.getY());
            System.out.println();
 
            // These two for loops display the values on the side and bottom
            for(int i = 10; i > 0; i--)
            {
                System.out.println(i);
            }
            for(int i = 1; i <= 10; i++)
            {

            }
 
            System.out.println();

            // Show area and circumference with the new values
            System.out.println("Area of the circle = " + p.area());
            System.out.println("Circumference of the circle = " + p.circumference());
        }
    }
}

Any help i appreciated about this.. thank you..
And can you re-check my code if it is correct?..

You've posted your requirements and some code without telling us what that code does, what you want it to do, or how those two are related.

If you want help, I suggest you ask a specific question and post an SSCCE (not your whole program) that demonstrates exactly what you're stuck on.

Ok sir Im sorry.. okay here;s is the whole question which im trying to get solve..:

1. A point in the x-y plane represented by its x-coordinate and y-coordinate. Design the class POINT that can store and process a point in the x-y plane. You should then perform operations on a point, such as showing the point, setting the coordinates of the point , printing the coordinates of the point, returning the x-coordinate, and returning the y-coordinate. Also write a test program to test various operations on a point.

2. Every circle has a center and a radius. Given the radius, we can determine the circle’s area and circumference. Given the center, we can determine its position in the x-y plane. The center of the circle is point in the x-y plane. Design the class CIRCLE that can store the radius and center of the circle. Because the center is the x-y plane and you designed the class to capture the properties of a point (No 1), you must derive the class CIRCLE from the class POINT. You should be able to perform the usual operations on a circle, such as setting the radius, printing the radius, calculating and printing the area and circumference, and carrying on the usual operations on the center.

3. Every cylinder has a base and height, where the base is a circle. Design the class CYLINDER that can capture the properties of a cylinder and perform the usual operations on a cylinder. Derive this from the class CIRCLE designed in No.2. Some operations that can be performed by the cylinder are as follows: calculate and print the volume, calculate and print the surface area, set the height, set the radius of the base, and set the center of the base.

Every circle has a center and a radius. Given the radius, we can determine the circle’s area and circumference. Given the center, we can determine its position in the x-y plane.

Ive done the 1 & 2 But i want it to be rechecked..
My teacher wants us to have a graph drawn (it can be text based) and when the user enters coordinates it should correctly place an '*' at that point. So, my program completely works except for the part of it putting an '*' at the coordinates entered.
I have chosen to ask the user to enter values between 1-10 and I then display 10-1 vertically and 1-10 horizontal and the I want to place an '*' at the entered coordinate. And I think it'd be best to use arrays, but I just don't know where to begin.

So the output should look something like this:

10
9
8
7
6 * (If the user entered 1 and 6 it would put an asterisk here)
5
4
3
2
1
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

The '1' is actually spaced in the program, just looks like that because I am using

I have a problem also in #3.. its all about polymorphism. and i can't do the coding because i dont understand it fully..
