Using Objects: Creating a Box

class BoxesExample {

public static void main (String[ ] argv) {

Box shoeBox;

shoeBox = new Box( );

shoeBox.setLength(35);

shoeBox.setWidth(19);

shoeBox.setHeight(13);

Box cdBox = new Box( );

cdBox.setLength(14);

cdBox.setWidth(9);

cdBox.setHeight(1);

int iTotalVolumeOfBoxes;

iTotalVolumeOfBoxes =

shoeBox.getVolume()

+ cdBox.getVolume();

System.out.println

(“The combined volume of the boxes”);

System.out.println

(“is: “, iTotalVolumeOfBoxes);

} // of main

} // of class BoxesExampleProgram

Comments:

1. Variable declaration and assignment

is mixed together. A more complex

program might require better organization

2. “Hybrid OO”: We have classes, but

everything occurs within a static method,

“main”, making things linear. This is fine

for small programs, but larger programs

would benefit from “Pure OO”. Keep this

in mind; it becomes very important later.
