We strongly suggest that you try the exercise yourself and use the starter code before looking at the solution code.

public class Clothing
{
    // Your code here

    // Instance variables for size and color
    private String clothingSize;
    private String clothingColor;

    // Getter method for size
    public String getSize()
    {
        return clothingSize;    
    }

    // Getter method for color
    public String getColor()
    {
        return clothingColor;    
    }

    // Constructor
    public Clothing(String size, String color)
    {
        clothingSize = size;
        clothingColor = color;
    }
}

public class ClothingTester extends ConsoleProgram
{
    public void run()
    {
        // Start here!
    }
}

public class Jeans extends Clothing
{
    public Jeans(String size)
    {
        super(size, "blue");
    }
}

Reminder about the this. keyword

The prefix this. can be used to indicate that the instance variable is being used, not the formal parameter.

public class Sweatshirt extends Clothing
{
    private boolean clothingHasHood;

    public boolean hasHood()
    {
        return this.clothingHasHood;    
    }

    public Sweatshirt(String size, String color, boolean hasHood)
    {
        super(size, color);
        this.clothingHasHood = hasHood;
    }
}

public class TShirt extends Clothing
{   
    private String clothingFabric;

    public String getFabric()
    {
        return this.clothingFabric;
    }

    public TShirt(String size, String color, String fabric)
    {
        super(size, color);
        this.clothingFabric = fabric;
    }   
}

Prompt (CodeHS)

In this problem, you’ll design a few classes that represent different pieces of clothing in a clothing store.

You’ll write the classes for TShirt, Jeans, Sweatshirt and Clothing.

The Clothing class should have two instance variables: one for the size of the clothing (a String), and another for the clothing’s color (also a string).

Clothing should have two accessor (getter methods) as well:

public String getSize()
public String getColor()

The Sweatshirt class should have a private instance variable (or field) to store whether or not it has a hood, and a corresponding getter method

public boolean hasHood()

The TShirt class should have a private field to store the fabric and a corresponding getter for that called

public String getFabric()

All Jeans should have the color blue.

The constructors should be of this format:

public Clothing(String size, String color)
public TShirt(String size, String color, String fabric)
public Sweatshirt(String size, String color, boolean hasHood)
public Jeans(String size)
