so I'm having an issue writing my code such that i will be able to create an equals method that will return true if 2 credit cards are equal if they have the same Security code, company and account number.
Heres my code so far.
public class CreditCard {
private double balance;
public static double interestRate;
public static String personname;
public static String company;
public static double creditLine;
public CreditCard ()
{
balance = 0;
}
public static void setIntRate (double rate)
{
interestRate = rate;
System.out.println("The Interest rate for this card is : " + interestRate);
}
public static double getIntRate ()
{
return interestRate;
}
public static void setPersonName (CreditCard card ,String pName)
{
personname = pName;
System.out.println("Name on card: " + personname);
}
public static void setCompany (CreditCard card, String compName)
{
company =compName;
System.out.println("The Company name is : "+ company);
}
//creates new card number
public static void CardNum (CreditCard card)
{
int[] accountnumber = new int [16];
Random generator = new Random ();
for (int i =0; i<16; i++)
accountnumber [i] = (int)(Math.random()*10);
System.out.println ("The Account number for this card is: " + (java.util.Arrays.toString(accountnumber))+"");
}
//Creates new securitycode
public static void getSecurityCode (CreditCard card)
{
int[] securitycode = new int [3];
Random generator = new Random ();
for (int i =0; i<3; i++)
securitycode [i] = (int)(Math.random()*10);
System.out.println ("The security code for this card is: " + (java.util.Arrays.toString(securitycode))+"");
}
public static void setexpirationdate(int MM, int YY)
{
System.out.println("The expiration date for this card is: " + MM + "/"+ YY + "\n");
}
public static void setCreditLine (int cLine){
creditLine =cLine;
}
public static void getCreditLine (CreditCard card)
{
System.out.println( " CreditLine is : $" + creditLine);
}
// buys something
public void buyWithCreditCard (double amount)
{
balance = balance + amount;
}
//Inserts money to reduce balance
public double paybalance (double amount)
{
if (balance >= amount){
balance = balance - amount;
roundBalance();}
else{
creditLine = creditLine + (amount - balance);
balance = 0;
System.out.println("Your new CreditLine is: "+creditLine);
roundBalance();
}
return amount;
}
// adds interest to balance
public void addInterest ()
{
double interest = balance * getIntRate ();
balance = balance + interest;
roundBalance ();
}
private void roundBalance ()
{
balance = (double)(Math.round(balance*100))/100;
}
public double checkBalance (){
return balance;
}
//Shows Credit Card Debt
public static void showBalance (CreditCard card)
{
System.out.print(card.balance);
}
}
and then the class that utilizes the CreditCard Class.
public class CreditCardDemo {
public static void main (String [] args)
{
//Creates cards 1 and 2
CreditCard firstCard = new CreditCard ();
CreditCard secondCard = new CreditCard ();
//Calls for card info 1
System.out.println("First card Information is:");
CreditCard.setPersonName(firstCard,"John White");
//CreditCard.getName(firstCard);
CreditCard.setCreditLine(600);
CreditCard.getCreditLine(firstCard);
CreditCard.setCompany(firstCard,"Visa");
CreditCard.setIntRate(0.02);
CreditCard.CardNum(firstCard);
CreditCard.getSecurityCode(firstCard);
CreditCard.setexpirationdate(11, 17);
//call for card info 2
System.out.println("Second card Information is:");
CreditCard.setPersonName(secondCard,"Jack Black");
CreditCard.setCreditLine(2600);
CreditCard.getCreditLine(secondCard);
//CreditCard.getName(secondCard);
CreditCard.setCompany(secondCard,"Discover");
CreditCard.setIntRate(0.02);
CreditCard.CardNum(secondCard);
CreditCard.getSecurityCode(secondCard);
CreditCard.setexpirationdate(10, 19);
//Purchases
System.out.println("\nYou bought something for $5.00");
firstCard.buyWithCreditCard (5.00);
System.out.println("You bought another item for $12.00");
firstCard.buyWithCreditCard(12.00);
System.out.println("You bought another item for $15.00");
firstCard.buyWithCreditCard(15.00);
System.out.println("You bought another item for $33.42");
firstCard.buyWithCreditCard(33.42);
//Display Current Balance
System.out.print("You currently owe: $");
CreditCard.showBalance(firstCard);
//Interest Adds onto it
if (firstCard.checkBalance () > 50.00){
System.out.println("\nInterest has been added");
firstCard.addInterest ();
System.out.print("Your new balance is : $");
CreditCard.showBalance(firstCard);
System.out.println("");
//Payment
System.out.println("You have overpaid your balance.");
firstCard.paybalance (70);
System.out.print("Your new balance is : $");
CreditCard.showBalance(firstCard);
}
}
}
So if anyone could show me how to create a method in the CreditCard class that would allow me to check if the firstCard and secondCard, that would be great. Thanks a bunch :)
