Exercise 8

Inheritance; Matrices

Exercise 8A (Inheritance)

Implement a class Animal. It should define a variable holding the animal's name and the following methods:

The dog, the cat and the parrot are special types of animals. Implement a specific class for each of them! Each specific class has a constructor and overrides makeSound such as to print out the sound the specific animal makes.

Furthermore, the parrot class should implement a method repeat that prints out the string parameter passed into it twice.

Finally implement two specific dog classes representing the Chiwawa and the Rottweiler breeds. Their makeSound methods are expected to print out "bau!" and "BAU!" respectively.

Solution


Exercise 8B (Matrices)

The purpose of this exercise is to implement a game of battleship. The game is played on a grid of 10x10 cells.
The computer-player is your enemy. It can randomly deploy a number of ships on the grid. Each ship occupies one cell. The computer-player has no weapons.
The human-player tries to destroy all ships using as few turns as possible. At each turn he or she can shoot two different weapons: cannons and torpedos. The cannon can be shot at a cell at position (row, column) which is hit. The torpedo can be shot from a cell at position (row, column) in a direction given by the values -1, 0 and 1 as shown in the figure. The effect is that all cells on the torpedo's trajectory are hit.
