    Default Line2D implementation

    Hey guys I got this assignment for my java class, to create two classes Point2D and Line2D.

    Now I've created the Point2D class and it just takes in x,y coordinates and creates a point. It has a few methods, getX, getY and distanceTo(point b)

    What I need to do now is create a Line2D class which also should have a few methods, but I'm stuck at implementing the constructor which should take two point2D variables and create a line between point a and point b.

    So basically the constructor should look like this:

    public Line2D(Point2D a, Point2D b)
    {
    ....
    }

    I'm having real trouble getting my head around what should be inside the brackets, so I'm kinda stuck at the moment. Any pointers/help would be greatly appreciated.

    Well, this is a constructor method, which is used to initialize class variables. Like;

    private Point2D a;
    private Point2D b;
     
    public Line2D(Point2D a, Point2D b)
    {
         this.a = a; // This will set passed parameter to class variable a 
         this.b = b; // ^ same
    }
     
    public double getDistance(){
        // Calculate distance and return it
    }

    @Whitescars, welcome to the forums. Please note the date on threads - this thread is several months old which, in forum and internet time, is an eternity, especially if the original poster has yet to return to the forums since this post. I would also recommend reading http://www.javaprogrammingforums.com...n-feeding.html , as a few of your posts could be interpreted as such
