Java Fundamentals Project

Project Overview

This repository contains several Java classes that were created as part of a Java fundamentals course. These classes cover the basic concepts of object-oriented programming, including constructors, fields, accessor and mutator methods, and more. Each class demonstrates a specific concept and can be used to understand the fundamentals of Java programming.

The following classes are included in this project:

1. Employee Class

• Contains fields for employee's name, ID number, department, and position.
• Includes constructors and accessor/mutator methods.
• Demonstrates storing and displaying employee data.

2. Car Class

• Contains fields for the car's year model, make, and speed.
• Includes methods for accelerating and braking.
• Demonstrates how to modify an object's state through method calls.

3. Personal Information Class

• Stores personal data such as name, address, age, and phone number.
• Demonstrates how to create instances to represent personal data.

4. RetailItem Class

• Contains fields for description, units on hand, and price of an item.
• Demonstrates the use of constructors and methods to interact with retail item data.

5. Payroll Class

• Contains fields for an employee’s name, ID number, hourly pay rate, and hours worked.
• Includes methods to calculate gross pay.

6. TestScores Class

• Stores three test scores.
• Demonstrates how to calculate and return the average score.

7. Circle Class

• Fields include the radius of the circle and a constant for PI.
• Methods for calculating area, diameter, and circumference.

8. Temperature Class

• Stores a temperature in Fahrenheit.
• Methods for converting and retrieving temperature in Celsius and Kelvin.

9. MonthDays Class

• Determines the number of days in a month, considering leap years.
• Contains logic to check for leap years.

10. Game of Twenty-One

• A game where the user tries to beat the computer’s hidden total without going over 21 using dice rolls.

11. Freezing and Boiling Points Class

• Stores a temperature and compares it to the freezing/boiling points of ethyl alcohol, oxygen, and water.
• Methods to check whether the stored temperature is below the freezing or above the boiling points of the substances.

12. SavingsAccount Class

• Stores a savings account’s annual interest rate and balance.
• Methods for withdrawing, depositing, and calculating monthly interest.

13. Deposit and Withdrawal Files

• Reads deposit and withdrawal data from text files and updates the balance in a SavingsAccount object.

14. Patient Charges Class

• Stores information about a patient and procedures performed, including charges.
• Demonstrates the use of multiple classes to store related data.

15. Dice Game

• Simulates a dice game where the user plays against the computer.

16. Roulette Wheel Colors Class

• Simulates a roulette wheel, determining the color of a pocket based on its number.

17. Coin Toss Simulator

• Simulates the tossing of a coin and tracks the number of heads and tails results.

18. Tossing Coins for a Dollar

• A game simulation using coins where the goal is to reach exactly one dollar.

19. Fishing Game Simulation

• Simulates a fishing game using a die roll to determine the items caught, each worth a different number of points.
