Thread: JAVA problem : Create a Fan Class

• Three static constants named SLOW, MEDIUM, and FAST with the values 1, 2, and 3 to denote the fan speeds.
Not done.
• A private int data filed named “speed” that specifies the speed of the fan, default to slow.
Not done.
• A private Boolean data field named “on” that specifies whether the fan is on, default to off.
Not done.
• A private double data field named “radius” that specifies the radius of the fan, default to 5.
Not done.
• A private string data field named “color” that specifies the color of the fan, default to “blue”.
Not done.
• A no-argument constructor that creates a default fan.
Done but all the statements in the constructor are pointless.
• Accessors and Mutators for all 4 data fields.
Done.
• A toString( ) method that returns a string description for the fan. If the fan is on, the method returns the fan speed, color, and radius in one combined string. If the fan is off, the method returns the fan color and radius along with the string, “fan is off” in one combined string.
Not done.

When you are given explicit instructions in an assignment it helps if you follow them.

Okay here is my updated code thus far: I have corrected the following issues,

• Three static constants named SLOW, MEDIUM, and FAST with the values 1, 2, and 3 to denote the fan speeds.
DONE
• A private int data filed named “speed” that specifies the speed of the fan, default to slow.

for this part of the assignment: • A no-argument constructor that creates a default fan.

I am a little confused as to what you mean here by "pointless".. and would really appreciate a little more explanation. I am making my best efforts here to construct code on my own and understand everything, and though it may seem "below" you I am still struggling. Any help you can offer without attitude is always much appreciated. I am just a novice



for this part of the assignment:

• A toString( ) method that returns a string description for the fan. If the fan is on, the method returns the fan speed, color, and radius in one combined string. If the fan is off, the method returns the fan color and radius along with the string, “fan is off” in one combined string.
Not done.

you say it is not done, but isnt this part of the code what this is asking for? :

public String toString(){
 
        Fan fan = new Fan();
        String printme = null;
 
        if(fan.on$off == true){
            printme = ("Speed: " + fan.getspeed() + " Color: " + fan.color + " Radius: " + fan.radius);
        }
        if(fan.on$off == false){
            printme = ("Color: " + fan.color + " Radius: " + fan.radius + " Fan is off!!");
        }
 
        return(printme);
 
    }

thanks again for anyone who replies to this post.. your assistance is much appreciated
