Definition of a class named Doctor

Not what you're looking for?

Ask Custom Question

Give the definition of a class named Doctor whose objects are records for a clinic's doctors. This class will be a derived class of the class SalariedEmployee given in Display 7.5. A Doctor record has the doctor's specialty (such as "Pediatrician", "Obstetrician", "General Practitioner", and so forth; so use the type String), and office visit fee (use type double). Be sure your class has a reasonable complement of constructors, accessor and mutator methods, and suitably defined equals, and toString methods. Write a program to test all your methods.

You should implement the following methods:

public Doctor()
public Doctor(String theName, Date theDate, double theSalary,
String theSpecialty, double theVisitFee)
public Doctor(Doctor orig)
public String getSpecialty()
public void setSpecialty(String theSpecialty)
public double getVisitFee()
public void setVisitFee(double theVisitFee)
public boolean equals(Doctor other)

HINT:

Constructors defined in the Doctor class can call the superclass's constructor (e.g. super(theName, theDate, theSalary)) nto initialize the instance variables in SalariedEmployee.
By subclassing SalariedEmployee, the Doctor class will inherit not only the methods defined in SalariedEmployee, but also those defined in Employee. You may override (re-implement) methods in the Employee class, but in this project you need only override the toString and equals methods.
Make sure that you initialize the specialty and visitFee fields in your zero-argument constructor.

/**
Subclass of SalariedEmployee that adds specicialty and visit fee fields.
*/
class Doctor extends SalariedEmployee {
/**
The doctor's specialty
*/
private String specialty;

/**
The doctor's visit fee
*/
private double visitFee;

// --------------------------------
// ----- ENTER YOUR CODE HERE -----
// --------------------------------

// --------------------------------
// --------- END USER CODE --------
// --------------------------------

public String toString() {
// Adapted from SalariedEmployee.toString()
return getName() + " (Specialty: " +
getSpecialty() + ")" + "n Fee for office visit: " +
getVisitFee() + "n Hired " + getHireDate() +
", $" + getSalary() + " per year";
}

}

/**

*/
public class DoctorDemo {

public static void main(String[] args) {
// Test the constructors
Doctor doc = new Doctor();
System.out.println("Doctor created without arguments:");
System.out.println(doc);
System.out.println();

Doctor pediatrician = new Doctor("Dr. John Doe",
new Date("March", 15, 2001), 123500.00,
"Pediatrics", 125.00);
System.out.println("Doctor created with all arguments:");
System.out.println(pediatrician);
System.out.println();

// Test the copy constructor and equals method
Doctor p2 = new Doctor(pediatrician);
System.out.println("Doctor created with copy constructor:");
System.out.println(p2);
System.out.println();
System.out.println("pediatrician == p2? " + (pediatrician == p2));
System.out.println(
"pediatrician.equals(p2)? " + pediatrician.equals(p2));
System.out.println(
"pediatrician.equals(doc)? " + pediatrician.equals(p2));
System.out.println();

// Test the setter and getter methods
p2.setName("Dr. Joe Smith");
p2.setSpecialty("Opthomology");
p2.setVisitFee(110.0);
System.out.println(
"After resetting name, specialty, and office visit fee:");
System.out.println(p2);
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Specialty: " + p2.getSpecialty());
System.out.println("OfficeVisitFee: $" + p2.getVisitFee());
System.out.println();
