Exercise 2-1. Write a Circle class that is similar to the
Rect class. Define a move( )
method and an isInside( ) method. (Recall that a
circle is defined as all points within a given radius from the
center. Test for insideness by using the Pythagorean theorem to
compute the distance between a point and the center of the circle.)
Also, define a boundingBox( ) method that returns
the smallest Rect that encloses the complete
Circle. Write a simple program to test the methods
you've implemented.
Exercise 2-2. Write a class that represents a person's mailing
address. It should have separate fields for the name, street address,
city, state, and ZIP code. Define a toString( )
method that produces nicely formatted output.
Exercise 2-3. Modify the ComplexNumber class of Example 2-5 to override the equals( )
and hashCode( ) methods inherited from
Object. Use the IntList class
of Example 2-7 as a model.
Exercise 2-4. Modify Example 2-5 again to implement
Comparable as Example 2-7 does.
Note that this is not as straightforward as its seems, since there is
not an unambiguous ordering for complex numbers. One possible way to
order complex numbers is by their magnitude. Although this ordering
is suitable for some applications, note that it is not compatible
with the equals( ) method. That is, a
compareTo( ) method based on magnitude will return
(equality) for numbers that are nonequal according to the
equals( ) method.
Exercise 2-5 . Modify the IntList class of Example 2-7 to create a sort( ) method
that rearranges the list elements into sorted order. You can use the
sorting algorithm from the SortNumbers class of
Example 1-14, or you may prefer to research and
implement a more advanced sorting algorithm, such as quicksort or
mergesort.
Exercise 2-6. The IntList class implements the
Comparable interface, which means that
IntList objects can be compared to each other.
Write a program that initializes an array of
IntList objects, sorts those objects, and then
prints the lists in their new order (IntList
overrides toString( ), so printing the lists is
easy).
