The class EncryptedText: representation of the objects

We have to decide how to represent the properties of encrypted texts. Note that an encrypted text needs two properties: the text itself and the encryption key. Let us represent the objects of the class EncryptedText by means of the following instance variables:

• the text, by means of an instance variable text, of type String;
• the key, by means of an instance variable key, of type int.

At this point we can write:

public class EncryptedText {
  // representation of the objects of the class
  private int key;
  private String text;

  // public methods that realize the requested functionalities
  // possibly auxiliary methods
}
