(Chapter 9) 9.1 The Rectangle class

Chapter 9
9.1 The Rectangle class. 
Design a class named Rectangle to represent a rectangle. The class contains:

• Two double date fields named width and height that specify the width and height of the rectangle. The default values are 1 for both width and height.
• A no-arg constructor that creates a default rectangle.
• A constructor that creates a rectangle with the specified width and height.
• A method named getArea() that returns the area of this rectangle.
• A method named getPerimeter() that returns the perimeter.

Write a test program that creates two Rectangle objects - one with width 4 and height 40 and the other with width 3.5 and height 35.9. Display the width, height, area, and perimeter of each rectangle in this order.

public class Exercise09_01 {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
    Rectangle myRectangle = new Rectangle(4, 40);
    System.out.println("The area of a rectangle with width " +
      myRectangle.getWidth() + " and height " +
      myRectangle.getHeight() + " is " +
      myRectangle.getArea());
    System.out.println("The perimeter of a rectangle is " +
      myRectangle.getPerimeter());


    Rectangle yourRectangle = new Rectangle(3.5, 35.9);
    System.out.println("The area of a rectangle with width " +
      yourRectangle.getWidth() + " and height " +
      yourRectangle.getHeight() + " is " +
      yourRectangle.getArea());
    System.out.println("The perimeter of a rectangle is " +
      yourRectangle.getPerimeter());
  }


}


class Rectangle  {
  private double width;
  private double height;


  public Rectangle() {
  }


  public Rectangle(double width, double height) {
    this.width = width;
    this.height = height;
  }


  /** Return width */
  public double getWidth() {
    return width;
  }


  /** Set a new width */
  public void setWidth(double width) {
    this.width = width;
  }


  /** Return height */
  public double getHeight() {
    return height;
  }


  /** Set a new height */
  public void setHeight(double height) {
    this.height = height;
  }


  /** Return area */
  public double getArea() {
    return width * height;
  }


  /** Return perimeter */
  public double getPerimeter() {
    return 2 * (width + height);
  }
}
