I'm just nearing the end of that same book. Still have my working example of that code:
PHP Code:
class VolcanoRobot {
String status;
int speed;
float temperature;
void checkTemperature() {
if (temperature > 660) {
status = "returning home";
speed = 5;
}
}
void showAttributes() {
System.out.println("Status: " + status);
System.out.println("Speed: " + speed);
System.out.println("Temperature: " + temperature);
}
}
PHP Code:
class VolcanoApplication {
public static void main(String[] args) {
VolcanoRobot dante = new VolcanoRobot();
dante.status = "exploring";
dante.speed = 2;
dante.temperature = 510;
dante.showAttributes();
System.out.println("Increasing speed to 3.");
dante.speed = 3;
dante.showAttributes();
System.out.println("Changing temperature to 670.");
dante.temperature = 670;
dante.showAttributes();
System.out.println("Checking the temperature.");
dante.checkTemperature();
dante.showAttributes();
}
}
I've used Notepad++, Netbeans and Eclipse. I've definately found Eclipse to be the better of the 3 for Java.
