Constructor Summary

Acid(java.lang.String acid)
Constructor for an Acid (converts text to standard format).

Method Summary

int	compareTo(Acid otherAcid)
boolean	equals(java.lang.Object other) Acids are equal if there acid member strings are the equal.
java.lang.String	getLetterPart()
int	hashCode() Careful, even though Acid will return the same hashcode as a String you cannot retrieve an Acid from a hashed collection using a String, because the hash retrieve will use String's equals to see if the right key was retrieve and it fails the "if (anObject instanceof String)" HOWEVER if we were to make Acid a sub class of String then retrieval would work.
static void	main(java.lang.String[] args)
static java.lang.String	stdFormat(java.lang.String acid) Converts the aircraft ID text specified to standard format: a string with only numerics is accepted as valid.
java.lang.String	toString() Returns the ACID (aircraft ID) as a String.

Constructor Detail

Acid

public Acid(java.lang.String acid)

Constructor for an Acid (converts text to standard format).

Parameters:

acid - The ACID (aircraft ID).

Method Detail

stdFormat

public static java.lang.String stdFormat(java.lang.String acid)

Converts the aircraft ID text specified to standard format: a string with only numerics is accepted as valid.

(Tries to get something that works: characters that are not alphanumerics will be removed from the text.)

Parameters:

acid - The ACID (aircraft ID) to format.

Returns:

Returns the aircraft ID as a trimmed, upper-case string.

compareTo

public int compareTo(Acid otherAcid)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<Acid>

Parameters:

otherAcid - The ACID to compare against for determining order.

Returns:

Returns whether the other aircraft ID is the same as this Acid.

Throws:

java.lang.ClassCastException - if the specified object's type prevents it from being compared to this Object.

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object other)

Acids are equal if there acid member strings are the equal. An Acid can be equal to a string object. An Acid is equal to itself.

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

See Also:

Object.equals(java.lang.Object), hashCode()

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Careful, even though Acid will return the same hashcode as a String you cannot retrieve an Acid from a hashed collection using a String, because the hash retrieve will use String's equals to see if the right key was retrieve and it fails the "if (anObject instanceof String)" HOWEVER if we were to make Acid a sub class of String then retrieval would work.

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

getLetterPart

public java.lang.String getLetterPart()

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Returns the ACID (aircraft ID) as a String.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

Returns the Acid (aircraft ID) in string format.

main

public static void main(java.lang.String[] args)
