[Hackerrank] Class vs. Instance

Objective

 

In this challenge, we're going to learn about the difference between a class and an instance; because this is an Object Oriented concept, it's only enabled in certain languages. Check out the Tutorial tab for learning materials and an instructional video!

 

Task

 

Write a Person class with an instance variable, age, and a contructor that takes an integer, initialAge, as a parameter. The constructor must assign initialAge to age after confirming the argument passed as initialAge is not negative; if a negative argument is passed as initialAge, the constructor should set age to 0 and print Age is not valid, setting age to 0.. In addition, you must write the following instance methods:

1. yearPasses() should increase the age instance variable by 1.

2. amlOld() should perform the follwowing conditional actions:

• if age < 13, print You are young..
• if age >= 13 and age < 18, print You are a teenager..
• Otherwise, print You are old...

To help you learn by example and complete this challenge, much of the code is provided for you, but you'll be writing everything in the future. The code that creates each instance of your Person class is in the main method. Don't worry if you don't understand it all quite yet!

Note: Do not remove or alter the stub code in the editor.

 

Input Format

Input is handled for you by the stub code in the editor.

The first line contains an integer, T (the number of test cases), and the T subsequent lines each contain an integer denoting the age of a Person instance.

 

Constaints

• 1 <= T <= 4
• -5 <= age <= 30

Output Format

 

Complete the method definitions provided in the editor so they meet the specifications outlined above; the code to test your work is already in the editor. If your methods are implemented correctly, each test case will print 2 or 3 lines (depending on whether or not a valid initialAge was passed to the constructor).

 

Sample Input

4
-1
10
16
18

 

Sample Output

Age is not valid, setting age to 0.
You are young.
You are young.

You are young.
You are a teenager.

You are a teenager.
You are old.

You are old.
You are old.

 

Explanation

Test Case 0: initialAge = -1
Because initialAge < 0, our code must set age to 0 and print the "Age is not valid..." message followed by the young message. Three years pass and age = 3, so we print the young message again.

Test Case 1: initialAge = 10
Because initialAge < 13, our code should print that the person is young. Three years pass and age = 13, so we print that the person is now a teenager.

Test Case 2: initialAge = 16
Because 13 <= initialAge < 18, our code should print that the person is a teenager. Three years pass and age = 19, so we print that the person is old.

Test Case 3: initialAge = 18
Because initialAge >= 18, our code should print that the person is old. Three years pass and the person is still old at age = 21, so we print the old message again.

The extra line at the end of the output is supposed to be there and is trimmed before being compared against the test case's expected output. If you're failing this challenge, check your logic and review your print statements for spelling errors.

문제

• initialAge라는 나이값을 매개변수로 준다.
• 받은 나이를 확인하여 음수일경우 "Age is not valid, setting age to 0." 라는 문구를 출력해주고, age는 0으로 셋팅해준다.
• 나이가 셋팅되면 year Passes 라는 함수를 통해 1년씩 지나간다. (age가 1씩 증가)
• 지나가고나서 amIold라는 함수를 호출하며, 해당 함수에서는 나이가 몇살인지 체크한다. ( 13살 이하는 young, 13~18살은 teenager 그보다 더 많으면 old이다..

public class Person {
    private int age;	
  
	public Person(int initialAge) {
  		// Add some more code to run some checks on initialAge
          if(initialAge < 0) {
              age = 0;
              System.out.println("Age is not valid, setting age to 0.");
          } else {
              age = initialAge;
          }
	}

	public void amIOld() {
  		// Write code determining if this person's age is old and print the correct statement:
          if(age < 13) {
              System.out.println("You are young.");
          } else if (age < 18) {
              System.out.println("You are a teenager.");
          } else {
              System.out.println("You are old.");
          }
	}

	public void yearPasses() {
  		// Increment this person's age.
          age++;
	}
