    Angry Contains Method HELP PLEASEEEE

    Hi again

    Ive made the IsSqare method but now he asks us to do the Contsains method.

    Rectangle class
    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



    contains method
    Write a contains method that returns true if the point passed in is inside the rectangle


    Thats what i wrote :


    package assignement01;
     
    import java.awt.Point;
    import java.util.Scanner;
     
    /**
     *
     * @author mouni
     */
    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();
            System.out.print("Enter X Point: ");
            double xheight = x.nextDouble();
             System.out.print("Enter Y Point: ");
            double ywidth = x.nextDouble();
            r.contains(p);
            p(xheight, ywidth);
        }
     
     public boolean contains(Point p) {
     
            boolean answer;
            double x_ul = upperLeft.getX();
            double y_ul = upperLeft.getY();
            double x_p = p.getX();
            double y_p = p.getY();    
     
        if ( (x_ul < x_p && x_p < x_ul + width) &&
             (y_ul - height < y_p && y_p < y_ul) ){
            answer = true;
            System.out.print("The Answer is " + answer);
        }else {
            answer = false;
            System.out.print("The Answer is " + answer); 
        }
            return answer;
        }
     
    }




    THANKS A LOT !!!!

    The question is unclear.

    You're not declare p , how can you use it in these two lines ?

    r.contains(p);
    p(xheight, ywidth);
    Whatever you are, be a good one

    These two llines are for the point coordinate... is it wrong ? Can you show me the correct code for this question ?

    We need to ask the user to enter the rectangle height and width and to ask him the point and we have to know if the point is in the rectangle.

    Thanks a lot

    What is the usage for xheight and ywidth? Do we need a formula in order to know whether it is inside the rectangle ?

    For me xheight and ywidth is the coordinate of the point. I think it is wrong. For this i am sure :

    public boolean contains(Point p) {

    boolean answer;
    double x_ul = upperLeft.getX();
    double y_ul = upperLeft.getY();
    double x_p = p.getX();
    double y_p = p.getY();

    if ( (x_ul < x_p && x_p < x_ul + width) &&
    (y_ul - height < y_p && y_p < y_ul) ){
    answer = true;
    System.out.print("The Answer is " + answer);
    }else {
    answer = false;
    System.out.print("The Answer is " + answer);
    }
    return answer;
    }

    Where you get this from ?

    The question looked similar to this Writing Own .contains Method For Rectangles - Java | Dream.In.Code

    Below is my answer, not sure is it correct

    public class Rectangle {
        private Point upperLeft; // the upper left corner point
        static private double height; // the height of the rectangle
        static private double width; // the width of the rectangle
        static boolean answer;
     
        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: ");
            height = x.nextDouble();
            System.out.print("Enter Rectangle width: ");
            width = x.nextDouble();
            r.isSquare(height,width);
            System.out.print("Enter X Point: ");
            double xpoint = x.nextDouble();
            System.out.print("Enter Y Point: ");
            double ypoint = x.nextDouble();
            r.contains(xpoint, ypoint);
        }
     
        public boolean contains(double xpoint, double ypoint) {
     
            boolean answer;
            upperLeft = new Point();
            double x_ul = upperLeft.getX();
            double y_ul = upperLeft.getY();
            double x_p = xpoint;
            double y_p =ypoint;
     
            if ( (x_ul < x_p && x_p < x_ul + width) &&
                    (y_ul - height < y_p && y_p < y_ul) ){
                answer = true;
                System.out.print("The Answer is " + answer);
            }else {
                answer = false;
                System.out.print("The Answer is " + answer);
            }
            return answer;
        }
     
        public boolean isSquare(double height,double width) {
            if (height == width) {
                System.out.println(" It is square ");
            } else{
                System.out.println(" Not a square ");
            }
            return answer;
        }
    }

    Hope it helped you
