Phase 2 Please download Species.java and CircleOfLife.java. Use CircleOfLife.Java for testing Species.java as you follow these steps:

Phase 3 Create a Species constructor that takes in a String for its name, an int for its population, and an int for its growth rate. Don't let someone initialize a species with a population above 1500 or below 1, or a growth rate outside of the range of 1 to 20 percent. If the population is initialized below 1, set it to 1, and if above 1500, set it to 1500. Similarly for the growth rate.

Phase 4 Return an appropriate String in the toString method that describes the state of a Species object. Example String to return in the toString() method: Name of species: cat Population: 1200 Growth Rate: 12% Once you have created a toString method, you can use it to display a Species object stored in a variable s as follows: System.out.println(s); which is a shortcut for System.out.println(s.toString());

Phase 5 Create two species objects of whatever animal that you wish (do this in CircleOfLife.java).

Phase 6 Complete the code for mergeSpecies(Species other). This is a non-static method (as all of the rest of them are) that takes another species as a parameter. This method adds the populations of the two species, changes the name of the species to the concatenation of the two names, and the growth rate to the maximum of the two growth rates

Phase 7 Complete the code for grow() and populationInXYears(int x) (hint: don't change the value of the population for the populationInXYears method -- simply return what the population will be in X years given the growth rate of that species. EXAMPLE If the species are rabbits and their growth rate is 10%, population is 100, and x is 2, you should see The projected population for the rabbits in 2 years will be 121.

Species a = new Species("Frog", 100, 10); System.out.println(a); a.grow(); System.out.println(a); System.out.println("a.populationInXYears(10) returns " + a.populationInXYears(10)); Species b = new Species("Rabbit", 10, 23); a.mergeSpecies(b); System.out.println("a.mergeSpecies(b) is " + a); } }

Circleoflife.java

public class CircleOfLife { public static void main(String args[]) { // Create a new Species object here, passing in the appropriate arguments // Print out the species' growth rate // Use the species' toString here // Call populationInXYears here // Create a new Species object here, passing in the appropriate arguments // using a very large number for the population (e.g. 100000000) // Print out the species' population to make sure it is set to 1500 // Call populationInXYears here, feel free to hardcode in the int to be passed to the method // Call mergeSpecies here. Test that mergeSpecies is doing what you expected it to } }
