Implement a JAVA application that keeps track of package deliveries to consumers. Theapplication consists of the following classes:• Item: Create a class called Item. The class has two member variables oftype String named name and description and provides getter and settermethods for both.• Mail (abstract class): Implement an abstract class called Mail . The class hasa member variable of type String named address and a getter method for it.• Letter: Implement a class called Letter that inherits from Mail . The classhas one member variable of type String named contents.• Package: Implement a class called Package that inherits from Mail . Theclass has one member variable of type Item[] named items and a gettermethod for it.• DeliveryTruck: Implement a class called DeliveryTruck with a singlemember variable of type Mail[] of length 10. Add the following method:o void load(Mail mail): This method stores the given mail argumentat the next available spot in the member variable.
Define a class named Doctor whose objects are records for a clinic’s doctors. Derive this class from the class Person given in Listing 8.1. A Doctor record has the doctor’s name—defined in the class Person—a specialty as a string (for example Pediatrician, Obstetrician, General Practitioner, and so on), and an office-visit fee (use the type double). Give your class a reasonable complement of constructors and accessor methods, and an equals method as well. Write a driver program to test all yourmethods.
Imagine a publishing company that markets both book and audiocassette versions of its works. I it markets both book and audiocassette versions of its works.
create a class called publication that stores the title (a string) and price (type float) and date of a publication.
Provide getters/setters and constructor also write an abstract method isOversize()
.From this class derive two classes: book, which adds a page count (type int); and tape, which adds a playing time in minutes (type float).
Each of the classes should have a getter/setters and constructors and provide definition to function called isOversize() to the book and tape classes. Let’s say that a book with more than 800 pages, or a tape with a playing time longer than 90 minutes (which would require two cassettes), is considered oversize.
You can access this function from main() and display the string “Oversize” for oversize books and tapes when you display their other data.

Given the Java Point class (which contains two private variables x and y and constructors that allows creating a point object with known x and y values as well as other methods such as equals( ), toString( ) etc), (a). define a new class called Circle that contains private two variables: center which is a Point object from the Point class and radius which is of type double. The Circle class must have the following methods: (b). add a constructor which creates a circle object using a center point with x and y values and a radius as its parameters. (c). add a default constructor. ( (d). add an equals() method that can compare if any object is equal to a Circle object (two circle objects are equal if they have the same center point with the same radius). (e). add a toString() method that prints a Circle object with the center point and radius.arrow_forward

Define the Car constructor to initialize these values (in that order).

- JAVA Write the class Rectangle. A Rectangle is a Shape and should have a width and a height. Refers to this : Write an abstract class for Shape. The intended subclasses are Polygon, Circle, Triangle, and Rectangle. All of these will have a name, an area, and a perimeter. (Consider which methods might be abstract.) Add a toString method that will return the information about the Shape, for example: Triangle, Area: 7.5, Perimeter: 12.0arrow_forwardCreate a Right Triangle class that has two sides. Name your class rightTraingle. Code getter and setters for the base and the height. (Remember class variables are private.) The class should include a two-argument constructor that allows the program to set the base and height. The constructor should verify that all the dimensions are greater than 0. before assigning the values to the private data members. If a side is not greater than zero, set the value to -1. The class also should include two value-returning methods. One value-returning method should calculate the area of a triangle, and the other should calculate the perimeter of a triangle. If either side is -1, these functions return a -1. The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is 1/2 * b*h, where b is the base and h is the height. The formula for calculating the perimeter of a triangle is b+h+sqrt (b*b+h*h). Be sure to include a default constructor that initializes the variables of the base, height to -1. To test…arrow_forwardSOLVE IN C# Define a class Shape with an abstract method CalculateArea(). Define two additional classes for a triangle and a rectangle with fields width and height (values being set through appropriate constructors), which implement CalculateArea(). This method has to return the areas of the rectangle (height*width) and the triangle (height*width/2). Define another class for a circle with an appropriate constructor, which initializes the two fields (height and width) with the same value (the radius) and implement the abstract method for calculating the area. Create an array of different shapes and calculate the area of each shape in another array. helparrow_forward
