Unit 1 ( Prog 2) : Test Access Modifiers

By | June 2, 2013

Use of access modifiers and class properties…

/* 
 * Question : value of rightFirst will be always one third of leftFirst or not ?
 * NO because both are public, no need to use setLeft() method for that
 * those are directly accessible…:p
 * but it is true in case of class ValueSecond
 */
class ValueFirst {
          public int leftFirst;
          public int rightFirst;
          public void setLeftFirst(int leftNum) {
                    leftFirst = leftNum;
                    rightFirst = leftNum / 3;
          }
          public String printValues(){
                    return “left of ValueFirst Class : ” + leftFirst + “nright of ValueFirst Class : ” +  rightFirst ;
          }
         // remaining function code goes here.
}
class ValueSecond {
          private int leftSecond = 9;
          private int rightSecond = 3;
          public void setLeftFirst(int leftNum) {
                    leftSecond = leftNum;
                   rightSecond = leftNum / 3;
          }
          // remaining function code goes here.
          public String printValues(){
                   return “left of ValueSecond Class : ” + leftSecond + “nright of ValueSecond Class : ” +  rightSecond ;
          }
}
public class testAccessModifier {
          public static void main(String a[]) {
                    ValueFirst v1 = new ValueFirst();
                   // here it goes…
                   v1.leftFirst = 5;
                   v1.rightFirst = 10;
                   System.out.println(v1.printValues());
                   ValueSecond v2 = new ValueSecond();
                    // whoah…compilation error in next line after removing comments…:D
                    // v2.leftSecond = 5;
                   // v2.rightSecond = 10;
                    v2.setLeftFirst(9);
                    System.out.println(v2.printValues());
          }
}
/* Check access modifiers of the properties of function first if you find an easy question.
 * it might be twisted…:p

    Good example for testing access modifiers. In practice however, you should tend to minimize the visibility of your fields, providing getters and setter methods.
