Chapter 8, Problem 1AW
Consider the following class declaration:
public class Circle
{
private double radius;
public Circle(double r)
{
radius = r;
{
public double getArea()
{
return Math.PI * radius * radius;
}
public double getRadius()
{
return radius;
}
}
- a. Write a toString method for this class. The method should return a string containing the radius and area of the circle.
- b. Write an equals method for this class. The method should accept a Circle object as an argument. It should return true if the argument object contains the same data as the calling object, or false otherwise.
- c. Write a greaterThan method for this class. The method should accept a Circle object as an argument. It should return true if the argument object has an area that is greater than the area of the calling object, or false otherwise.

public class Accumulator
{
private int total
private String name;
public Accummulator (string name , int total)
{
this .name = name;
this .total=total;
}
}
3. In a main method, create an object of Accumulator with the name as "Mary" and total as 100.
It is customary that we write this method to return a string representation of objects in a class.
constructor
mutator
toString
accessor
Value-returning methods must pass parameters.

For the second constructor, the minimum should default to zero and the maximum to ten. Your Problem object should generate 2 random integers between the minimum and maximum values (inclusively). Each Problem object should only have one set of numbers that do not change. While you may include additional helper methods, two methods need to be available to the user.

The following attributes should be present in your automobile class: private string make private string model private string color private int year private int mileage Your program should have appropriate methods such as: default constructor parameterized constructor add a new vehicle method list vehicle information (return string array) remove a vehicle method update vehicle attributes method. All methods should include try..catch constructs. Except as noted all methods should return a success or failure message (failure message defined in "catch"). Create an additional class to call your automobile class (e.g., Main or AutomobileInventory). Include a try..catch construct and print it to the console.
