    Default OOP

    Just need help getting this class started if anyone can help me out please

    • Object NaiveWorld that inherits from World:
    o Attributes: no more than in the parent class World
    o Methods:
     Constructors
     Accessors / mutators (inherits from parent class World)
     naiveEvolutionIndividual: takes a NaiveWorld and the location of an individual in this NaiveWorld (a pair (i,j)) and returns an Individual:
    What this method does is that:
    • If the sum S of levels of gentleness of the individual at (i,j) + of all its surrounding individuals is positive and the individual at (i,j), say P, is bad (i.e., gentleness < 0), then P becomes good (i.e., its gentleness level is now = S);
    • If the sum S of levels of gentleness of the individual at (i,j) + of all its surrounding individuals is negative and the individual at (i,j), say P, is good (i.e., gentleness > 0), then P becomes bad (i.e., its gentleness level is now = S);
    • Otherwise, P, the individual at (i,j), remains unchanged.
    Note: there can be between 3 – case of a corner, and 6 – case of an internal individual – surrounding individuals.
     naïveEvolutionRC: this method takes a NaiveWorld, NW, and an integer, r, (the number of times the evolution is going to repeat), and does the following:
    • For r repeats:
    o For all rows
     For each element of the current row
    • Calls naiveEvolutionIndividual and NW is now the current NW in which the current individual is the result of naiveEvolutionIndividual
    Note: this method ranges on rows first and then columns, hence the RC part of its name.
     naïveEvolutionCR: this method takes a NaiveWorld, NW, and an integer, r, (the number of times the evolution is going to repeat), and does the following:
    • For r repeats:
    o For all columns
     For each element of the current column
    • Calls naiveEvolutionIndividual and NW is now the current NW in which the current individual is the result of naiveEvolutionIndividual
    Note: this method ranges on columns first and then rows, hence the CR part of its name

    Default Re: OOP

    This will get you started:
    public class NaiveWorld extends World
    {
         // your code goes here
    }

    Default Re: OOP

    I started that and thats all I have i dont know what to put in for the code.
    this is the class world
