Class Time - represents time of day

[verbazon]

Hello All,

I'm writing a Class Time that represents a time of day. It has hour & minute attributes; the hour ranging from 0 to 23, where 0 to 11 represents a time before noon; the minute, ranging 0 to 59.

I've tried setting it up so far and have commented what each method needs to include but am stuck as a confused beginner. I would appreciate any help possible.

Thanks!

public class Time
{
	private int hour;
	private int minute;
	
	 public Time()
	 //default constructor initializing time to 0 hours, 0 minutes
	 {
	 	hour = 0;
		minute = 0;
	 }
	 
	 private boolean isValid(hour,minute)
	 //returns true if given hour & minute values are of range
	 {
	 	if(hour >= 0 && hour <= 23) && (minute >= 0 && minute <=11))
		{
			return true;
		}
		else
		{
			return false;
		}
	 }
	 
	 public void setTime(hour,minute)
	 //set time if given values are valid - how do i do this?
	 {
	 	if(isValid)
		{
			//set time
		|
	 }
	 
	 public void setTime(hour,minute,isAM)
	 //sets time if given values are valid
	 //hour range: 1 to 12
	 //parameter isAM true if the time is an a.m. time, otherwise false
	 {
	 	if(isValid)
		{
		
		}
	 
	 }
}

• write a default constructor initializing time to 0 hours, 0 minutes
  
• write a private method isValid(hour,minute) that returns true if the given hour & minute values are in appropriate range
  
• write method setTime(hour,minute) setting time if given values are valid
  
• write another method setTime(hour,minute,isAM) setting time if given values are valid. The given hour should be in range 1 to 12. isAm is true if the time is an a.m., otherwise false

Aren't you supposed to do your own homework? If you've really written the code you posted, you should be able to do the rest of it.
