Lab 1: Introduction to Lab. Environment and Object Orientation

• Object First
  • Cell Class
    • CircleCell Class
    • SquareCell Class
    • HexCell Class
  • RBS Class (Radio Base Station)
  • MSC Class (Mobile Switching Center)

CircleCell Class

The CircleCell Class is a subclass of Cell Class. It is a specialized cell which only handles circular shape cells. Thus, there should be some overrides in the class definition to make it more specialized.

The special classification of a CircleCell Class is as follows:

• Calculate its area using Square equation which is simply:
  
• Override the coverage behavior since the super class definition is not valid for circular cells.
  

These definitions can be implemented in Java Language as follows :

File name: CircleCell.java

Class Fields :

• CELLTYPE : Indicates the type of shape it handles.
• RATIO : A constant used in area calculation.

Class Constructors:

• CircleCell(x,y,r) : Initializes all Class Fields using passing arguments

Class Methods:

• area( ) : returns the area of the Cell (implements which was once abstract in superclass).

import java.lang.Math;
/**

public class CircleCell extends Cell
{
  private static final double RATIO = Math.PI; //ratio used in area calculation

    {
        super(x,y,r);
    }

     * Calculate the area of a Circular shape Cell
     * @return     the area of the Circular Cell
     */
    public double area()
    {
        return RATIO*getR()*getR();
    }
