    Question IsSquare Method

    HI

    I have this question :

    Suppose we have a Rectangle class that begins:

    class Rectangle {

    private Point upperLeft; // the upper left corner point
    private double height; // the height of the rectangle
    private double width; // the width of the rectangle
    isSquare method

    Write an isSquare method that returns true if the rectangle is a square (and false otherwise).


    I have wrote this code but it doesnt work....

    package assignement01;

    import java.awt.Point;
    import java.util.Scanner;

    public class Assignement01 {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO code application logic here


    Scanner x = new Scanner(System.in);
    System.out.print("Enter Rectangle height: ");
    double height = x.nextDouble();
    System.out.print("Enter Rectangle width: ");
    double width = x.nextDouble();


    class Rectangle {

    private Point upperLeft; // the upper left corner point
    private double height; // the height of the rectangle
    private double width; // the width of the rectangle


    public boolean isSquare() {
    if (height == width){
    boolean answer = true;
    System.out.println(" The answer is" + answer);
    }
    else{
    boolean answer = false;
    System.out.println(" The answer is" + answer);


    }
    }
    }
    }
    }

    There are few errors in your code:
    1. No need to declare two classes. One classes have enough.
    2. isSquare method will not get called as you are not defining it.

    The thing is that if it was me, i wouldnt add the first class, but as said on the subject we wave to use the rectangle class otherwise it will be wrong.

    Try this
    public class Rectangle {
     
        private Point upperLeft; // the upper left corner point
        private double height; // the height of the rectangle
        private double width; // the width of the rectangle
     
        public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO code application logic here
            Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
            Scanner x = new Scanner(System.in);
            System.out.print("Enter Rectangle height: ");
            double height = x.nextDouble();
            System.out.print("Enter Rectangle width: ");
            double width = x.nextDouble();
            r.isSquare(height, width); // call method
        }
     
        public boolean isSquare(double height,double width) {
            boolean answer;
            if (height == width) {
                 answer = true;
                System.out.println(" The answer is" + answer);
            } else {
                 answer = false;
                System.out.println(" The answer is" + answer);
            }
            return answer;
        }
