clock class program

[jvasilj1]

my code is giving me errors and i am stuck...someone please help me.

my code is based on these UML Specs.

Clock

- sec : int
- min : int
- hr : int
- day : int
- mon : int
- yr : int

+ Clock( )
+ getSeconds( ) : int
+ getMinutes( ) : int
+ getHours( ) : int
+ getDays( ) : int
+ getMonths( ) : int
+ getYears( ) : int
+ setTimeDate(int, int, int, int, int, int)
+ tick( )
+ toString( ) : String

-------------------------------------------------------------
The hr instance variable records time on a 24 hour clock: 0 is midnight, 6 is 6am, 12 is noon and 23 is 11pm.

The constructor should create object with instance variables initialized to the time and date 0:00:00 January 1, 1 A.D.

The setTimeDate method should initialize the values of the instance variables. You choose the order of the parameters. You also decide what to do if any values are out of range.

When the tick method is executed, add one to sec. If the resulting value of sec is 60, set is back to 0 and update the other instance variables as necessary.


2. Write a TestClock class that tests all of the methods in your Clock class.
At a minimum, include these dates when testing the tick method: January 31, April 30, February 28 for leap and non-leap years, February 29 for leap and non-leap years, December 31.


3. Add code to your TestClock class that creates a Clock object initialized to the date and time 12 noon, January 24, 2008. Compute the dates 1 million and 10 million seconds in the future by repeatedly calling the tick method with for loops.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------
HERE IS MY CODE


public boolean isLeapYear( )
{
return yr % 400 == 0 || (yr % 100 != 0 && yr % 4 == 0);
}

public void tick( )
{
sec++;

if (sec == 60)
{
sec = 0;
min++;
}

if (min == 60)
{
min = 0;
hr++;
}

if (hr == 24)
{
hr = 0;
day++;
}

switch (mon)
{
case 1:
case 3:
case 5:
case 7:
case 8:
case 10:
case 12:
if (day == 32)
{
day = 1;
mon++;
}
break;

case 4:
case 6:
case 9:
case 11:
if (day == 31)
{
day = 1;
mon++;
}
break;

case 2:
if ((isLeapYear( ) && day == 30) ||
(!isLeapYear( ) && day == 29))

{
day = 1;
mon++;
}
break;

default:
System.out.println("Illegal month.");
break;
}
}

public String getMonthName( )
{
switch(mon)
{
case 1: return "January";
case 2: return "February";
case 3: return "March";
case 4: return "April";
case 5: return "May";
case 6: return "June";
case 7: return "July";
case 8: return "August";
case 9: return "September";
case 10: return "October";
case 11: return "November";
case 12: return "December";
default: return "Illegal month";
}

if (mon == 13)
{
mon = 1;
year++;
}
}

public String toString( )
{
if (hr == 0)
return String.format("%s %d, %d 12:%02d:%02d AM",
getMonthName( ), day, yr, min, sec);
else if (hr < 12)
return String.format("%s %d, %d %02d:%02d:%02d AM",
getMonthName( ), day, yr, hr, min, sec);
else if (hr == 12)
return String.format("%s %d, %d 12:%02d:%02d PM",
getMonthName( ), day, yr, min, sec);
else if (hr > 12 && hr < 24)
return String.format("%s %d, %d %02d:%02d:%02d PM",
getMonthName( ), day, yr, hr % 12, min, sec);
else
return "Illegal month";
}

You need to post the full source code of your class, this is only part of it. Also to make it readable please use code tags around your code. Finally what are the problems you are having?

[hardwired]

Compiles okay now.

thanks....what do i need to do with it to make it run...It is giving me a error in the terminal window saying

exception in thread main java.lang.nosuchmethoderror..........

[hardwired]

exception in thread main java.lang.nosuchmethoderror
Means that the jvm could not find a main method in the class.

public class ClockRx {
    ... everything same as before ...
    /** add a main method */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ClockRc clock = new ClockRx();
        // now you can access fields and call
        // methods in the ClockRx class.
    }
}

[jvasilj1]

i dont really know how to do that could you help me?.....so are you saying that once we figure out how to do that main method, my program will work? and give a 24 hour clock?

[jelly]

Yes that is what hardwired is saying. Whenever you try to run a java class the system looks for a method with the signature

    public static void main(String[] args)

and that is where your code starts executing. What you need to do is instantiate your clock class and then call the methods as you need them

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ClockRx clock = new ClockRx();
        // now you can access fields and call
        // methods in the ClockRx class. for example

       // print details of clock
       System.out.println(clock.);

      // tick the clock
       clock.tick();

       // print details of clock
       System.out.println(clock.);
    }

[jvasilj1]

can u please add that to my code in the post above, so it will work for me?

[jelly]

According to your original spec the testing should be in a separate class called TestClock so:

public class TestClock {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        ClockRx clock = new ClockRx();
        // now you can  call methods in the ClockRx class. for example

       // print details of clock
       System.out.println(clock);

       // tick the clock
       clock.tick();

       // print the current month name of clock
       System.out.println(clock.getMonthName());

       // call any other methods that you want to call

    }

}

[jvasilj1]

yes i need the test clock...how does that work...so i have my one program called clockRX and a completely seperate program called TestClock...

can you post the completed code for both programs, since i dont understand where to go with this.

[jelly]

The code I posted above is a skeleton for the TestClock program there are three calls to your ClockRx program, you should be able to work out some others. Have a go at completing some code, post what you get an dpoeple will help but posting completed code will not help you. When you get into a workplace you will need to write your own so best to start now

[jvasilj1]

ok well the lets go back to my orignal program of the ClockRx and why it is giving me the main error but it compiles....what do i need to add to it for it to run and count the time?...

[jelly]

Your spec at the beginning says you should do that by creating a separate test class called TestClock - that's given in my earlier post. The spec also says that your original Clock class should have a constructor that does the following:

"The constructor should create object with instance variables initialized to the time and date 0:00:00 January 1, 1 A.D."

You currently only have the default constructor so you will need to override that and set your instance variable to the correct values for the date given.

Do that first and then work down the instructions in your spec - it is a pretty clear spec - shout if you get code problems.

Just a query. why did you call your class ClockRx?
