For 2023 (and 2024 ...) - we are now fully retired from IT training.
We have made many, many friends over 25 years of teaching about Python, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, Java, C and C++ - and MySQL, Linux and Solaris/SunOS too. Our training notes are now very much out of date, but due to upward compatability most of our examples remain operational and even relevant ad you are welcome to make us if them "as seen" and at your own risk.

Lisa and I (Graham) now live in what was our training centre in Melksham - happy to meet with former delegates here - but do check ahead before coming round. We are far from inactive - rather, enjoying the times that we are retired but still healthy enough in mind and body to be active!

I am also active in many other area and still look after a lot of web sites - you can find an index ((here))
Java - a demonstration of inheritance on just one page

Here's a challenge, just given to me by my Java Delegates, to put my complete example of a Rectangle and a a Circle class, both inheriting from a Shape base class, and a test harness ... on on a single screen. A bit tight, and a bit uncommented, but here it is!


public class Circle extends Shape {
int w;
public Circle (String col,int w) {
super(col); this.w = w; }
public int getarea () {
return (int)(w * w * 0.25 * 3.14159265); } }
// ---------------------------
public class Rectangle extends Shape {
int w; int h;
public Rectangle (String col,int w, int h) {
super(col); this.w = w; this.h = h; }
public int getarea () {
return h * w; } }
// ---------------------------
public class Shape {
private String colour; private static int nshapes = 0;
public Shape(String colour) {
this.colour = colour; nshapes ++; }
public String getcolour() {
return colour; }
public static int getcount() {
return nshapes; } }
// ---------------------------
public class Tablemats {
public static void main (String [] args) {
Rectangle Salisbury = new Rectangle("Orange",30,20);
Circle Bath = new Circle("Purple",25);
String scol = Salisbury.getcolour();
int sarea = Salisbury.getarea(); String bcol = Bath.getcolour();
int barea = Bath.getarea(); int nmats = Shape.getcount();
System.out.println(scol); System.out.println(sarea);
System.out.println(bcol); System.out.println(barea);
System.out.println(nmats); } }


Now - they have to come up with two types of animals - Pets and Farm Animals - where a pet has a specified value and a farm animal has a value PER KILO.
