Chapter 7, Problem 3E
Write a
- income—a double value that is the income for the family
- size—the number of people in the family
and the following methods:
- Family (income, size)—a constructor that sets the attributes
- isPoor(housingCost, foodcost)—a method that returns true if housingcoat + foodCost + size is greater than half the family income (foodCoat is the average food cost for an individual, while housingCost is for the family)
- toString—a method that returns a string containing the information about the family
The program should read an integer k from the keyboard and then create an array of size k whose base type is Family. It should then create k objects of type Family and put them in the array, reading the income and size for each family from the keyboard. After reading an average housing cost and average food cost from the keyboard, it should display the families that are poor.

Java Programming problem
Create a checking account class with three attributes: account number, owner’s name, and balance.
Create constructor, getters and setters. If one is to set the initial balance of an account as a negative value in a setter or a constructor, remind the user about the error and set it as 0.
Create a CheckingAccountDemo class, and create a main method in which
Ask for the name, account number, and initial balance for one account from the keyboard input. With these input values as arguments in a call to the constructor, create a CheckingAccount object.
Print the summary of this account that includes information on the name, account number, and balance by calling the getters.
Write a program that test methods in the class.
Hint: the employee deserved retirement if he has year of Service >25 or his
age >=65.
5. Design a class named Mylnteger. The class contains:
An int data field named value(int)
Methods isEven() and isOdd(0 that return true if the value is even or odd
respectively.
Write a program that test methods in the class.
1/ Write a BankAccountTester class whose main method constructs a bank account, deposits $1,000, withdraws $500, withdraws another $400, and then prints the remaining balance. Also print the expected result
2/ Implement a class Employee. An employee has a name (a string) and a salary (a double). Provide a constructor with two arguments public Employee(String employeeName, double currentSalary) and methods
public String getName()
public double getSalary()
public void raiseSalary(double byPercent)
These methods return the name and salary, and raise the employee's salary by a certain percentage. Sample usage:
Employee harry = new Employee("Hacker, Harry", 50000);
harry.raiseSalary(10); // Harry gets a 10 percent raise
Supply an EmployeeTester class that tests all methods.
3/Implement a class Car with the following properties. A car has a certain fuel efficiency (measured in miles/gallon or liters/km—pick one) and a certain amount of fuel in the gas tank. The efficiency is specified in…

- Modify the Car class example and add the following: A default constructor that initializes strings to “N/A” and numbers to zero. An overloaded constructor that takes in initial values to set your fields (6 parameters). accel() method: a void method that takes a double variable as a parameter and increases the speed of the car by that amount. brake() method: a void method that sets the speed to zero. To test your class, you will need to instantiate at least two different Car objects in the main method in the CarDemo class. Each of your objects should use a different constructor. For the object that uses the default constructor, you will need to invoke the mutator methods to assign values to your fields. Invoke the displayFeatures() method for both objects and display the variables. Demonstrate the use of the accessor method getColor() by accessing the color of each car and printing it to the console. Use the method accel to increase the speed of the first car by 65 mph.
