SquareCell Class

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

The special classification of a SquareCell 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 square cells.

These definitions can be implemented in Java Language as follows :

File name: SquareCell.java

Class Fields :

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

Class Constructors:

SquareCell(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).
coverage(x,y) : returns true when x,y is covered in the Cell (overrides superclass behavior).
