What is the is a and has a relation ship in oops concept in
java?

Answer Posted / sandya

The relationships are the structure of the object. has-a
relationship can be described in Java code as member fields.
is-a relationship can be described in Java keyword extends.
The is-a relationship has an inheritance feature (like
"extends" or "implements") and has-a relationship has an
encapsulation feature (like private or protected modifier
used before each member field or method).

Let's look at one example. Translate the following perfect
sentences into Java code.

1. Pizza is a food. A Pizza has ingredients, a cost, and
a price.


public class Pizza extends Food //is-a relationship
{
int ingredients;//has-a relationship
double cost;
double price;
....
}

3.2 Consider the following class: public class Point { protected int x, y; public Point(int xx, int yy) { x = xx; y = yy; } public Point() { this(0, 0); } public int getx() { return x; } public int gety() { return y; } public String toString() { return "("+x+", "+y+")"; } } Say you wanted to define a rectangle class that stored its top left corner and its height and width as fields. 3.2.1 Why would it be wrong to make Rectangle inherit from Point (where in fact it would inherit the x and y coordinates for its top left corner and you could just add the height and width as additional fields)? (1) 8 Now consider the following skeleton of the Rectangle class: public class Rectangle { private Point topLeft; private int height, width; public Rectangle(Point tl, int h, int w) { topLeft = tl; height = h; width = w; } public Rectangle() { this(new Point(), 0, 0); } // methods come here } 3.2.2 Explain the no-argument constructor of the Rectangle class given above. 3.2.3 Write methods for the Rectangle class to do the following: • a toString() method that returns a string of the format "top left = (x, y); height = h; width = w " where x, y, h and w are the appropriate integer values. • an above() method that tests whether one rectangle is completely above another (i.e. all y values of the one rectangle are greater than all y values of the other). For example, with the following declarations Rectangle r1 = new Rectangle(); Rectangle r2 = new Rectangle(new Point(2,2), 1, 4); the expression r2.above(r1) should give true, and r2.above (r2) should give false. (You can assume that the height of a rectangle is never negative.) (2) (5)
