CSCI 3326

Assignment #3

Due date: Start of class Monday, 1/26/2009

Hand in:

1) Turn in your source code to me as an email attachment. The subject of the email must be:

cs3326hwk3

2) Also turn in a hardcopy of your source code along with a printout of a sample run.

Extend the Kennel class we created during Wednesday’s class period by writing the 3 methods:

void boardDog( Dog d )

Dog retrieveDog( String name )

String toString()

As an example, write your methods such that the following block of code will yield something similar to the output below:

Example code:

Dog grendel; //declare variable of type dog

Dog blapjack;

Dog newpuppy;

Dog zelda;

Kennel thepound;

//create some dogs to test the kennel

grendel = new Dog("Grendel", "Blue Heeler", 25, 24);

blapjack = new Dog("BlapJack", "Great Dane", 70, 80);

newpuppy = grendel.mate(blapjack);

zelda = new Dog("Zelda", "Pembroke Welsch Corgi", 40, 10);

//create a kennel to board the dogs in

thepound = new Kennel(); //create a new Dog kennel to store all the dogs

thepound.boardDog(grendel);

thepound.boardDog(blapjack);

thepound.boardDog(zelda);

thepound.boardDog(newpuppy);

thepound.retrieveDog("Zelda");

System.out.println(thepound);

The above code should cause something like the following to be displayed:

Retrieving Zelda the Pembroke Welsch Corgi with a bmi of 281.2 from the pound

Cage 0 contains: Grendel the Blue Heeler with a bmi of 30.51215277777778
