Study Notes
Batting Average
- Baseball Player Class: Represents a baseball player with attributes for hits, at-bats, and name.
- Constructor: Initializes a player’s name, number of hits, and at-bats.
- printBattingAverage Method: Calculates batting average by dividing hits by at-bats (using double for precision) and prints the result.
- toString Method: Returns a string presenting the player’s name, hits, and at-bats format.
Dog Class
- Dog Class: Represents a dog with attributes for name, age, and weight.
-
Multiple Constructors:
- Initializes all three attributes (name, age, weight).
- Initializes name and age, defaulting weight to 0.0.
- toString Method: Formats and returns the dog's name, weight, and age for display.
Student Overload
- Student Class: Represents a student with first name, last name, grade level, and school attributes.
-
Constructors:
- One constructor initializes all four attributes.
- Another initializes the first name, last name, and grade level, but requires handling when school is not specified.
- Grade Level Handling: Checks for valid grade levels within constructors (e.g., how grades relate to school levels).
