Thread: Creating a Point.class

Hey everyone,
I have an assignment that's due tomorrow and I am completely stuck and was hoping to get some help. My assignment is to create a Point object that represents an x,y point. Here is an outline of the object that the teacher gave us. Any help would be much appreciated! -Jon

The instance data stores its x and y coordinates.
The constructor lets you set x and y when you create a Point.
There is a method called getX for asking a Point what its x-coordinate is.
There is a method called getY for asking a Point what its y-coordinate is.
There is a method called setXY that lets you change the coordinates of a Point.

Hey Norm,

I was unaware of this, but my teacher specifically asked us to label the new class "Point". Here is what I have gotten so far

public class Point {

private int x, y;

public Point(int x, int y) {

}

public int getX() {

return x;

}

public int getY() {

return y;

}
}

So I have my instance data, constructor, but am not sure of how to tie in x,y data to the getX and setXY. I know it is not much of a start and probably contains some errors, but I am at a dead end. And sorry about the vagueness of the first post. I am not looking for you to write my code for me. I just need some direction. Thanks for your time. -Jon

Thanks, that helped a lot. I am now stuck on the setXY() section and was wondering how setXY() works? Do you need user input and use the Scanner class? -Jon

Awesome Norm, just finished the program. Thanks for your help. Sorry for my lack of java and forum ettiquette, I am new to the game. -Jon
