POHow to create an array of Rectangles with a Rectangle class?
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm working on an assignment that is supposed to return an array of 10 rectangles with a random height, random width, and random color selected from a string.</p> <p>The program works fine to return the objects for ONE rectangle, but how would I implement this to create an array of 10 rectangles and THEN return each one in a loop?</p> <p>Here's my class file with my objects:</p> <pre><code>import java.util.*; public class Rectangle { private double width; private double height; public static String color = "White"; private Date date; Rectangle() { width = 1; height = 1; date = new Date(); } Rectangle (double w, double h) { width = w; height = h; date = new Date(); } public double getHeight() { return height; } public void setHeight(double h) { height = h; } public double getWidth() { return width; } public void setWidth(double w) { width = w; } public static String getColor() { return color; } public static void setColor(String c) { color = c; } public Date getDate() { return date; } public void setDate (Date d) { date = d; } public double getArea() { return width * height; } public double getPerimeter() { return 2 * (width + height); } public String toString() { String S; S = "Rectangle with width of " + width; S = S + " and height of " + height; S = S + " was created on " + date.toString(); return S; } </code></pre> <p>}</p> <p>Here is my client program so far. I am setting a random height and a random width and selecting a random color from the colors String. </p> <p>I would like to be able to do this for an array of 10 different rectangles: </p> <pre><code>import java.util.*; public class ClientRectangle { public static void main(String[] args) { String[] colors = {"White","Blue","Yellow","Red","Green"}; Rectangle r = new Rectangle(); int k; for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { r.setWidth((Math.random()*40)+10); r.setHeight((Math.random()*40)+10); System.out.println(r.toString() + " has area of " + r.getArea() + " and perimeter of " + r.getPerimeter()); k = (int)(Math.random()*4)+1; System.out.println(colors[k]); } } } </code></pre> <p>Thanks!</p>
