Modify the set methods in class


Discuss the following:

Q: Modify the set methods in class Time2 of Fig.1 to return appropriate error values if an attempt is made to set one of the instance variables hour, minute or second of an object of class Time to an invalid value. [Hint: Use boolean return types on each method.] Write a program that tests these new set methods and outputs error messages when incorrect values are supplied//

Fig. 1: Time2.java
// Time2 class declaration with overloaded constructors.

public class Time2
{
private int hour; // 0 - 23
private int minute; // 0 - 59
private int second; // 0 - 59

// Time2 no-argument constructor: initializes each instance variable
// to zero; ensures that Time2 objects start in a consistent state
public Time2()
{
this( 0, 0, 0 ); // invoke Time2 constructor with three arguments
} // end Time2 no-argument constructor

// Time2 constructor: hour supplied, minute and second defaulted to 0
public Time2( int h )
{
this( h, 0, 0 ); // invoke Time2 constructor with three arguments
} // end Time2 one-argument constructor

// Time2 constructor: hour and minute supplied, second defaulted to 0
public Time2( int h, int m )
{
this( h, m, 0 ); // invoke Time2 constructor with three arguments
} // end Time2 two-argument constructor

// Time2 constructor: hour, minute and second supplied
public Time2( int h, int m, int s )
{
setTime( h, m, s ); // invoke setTime to validate time
} // end Time2 three-argument constructor

// Time2 constructor: another Time2 object supplied
public Time2( Time2 time )
{
// invoke Time2 three-argument constructor
this( time.getHour(), time.getMinute(), time.getSecond() );
} // end Time2 constructor with a Time2 object argument

// Set Methods
// set a new time value using universal time; ensure that
// the data remains consistent by setting invalid values to zero
public void setTime( int h, int m, int s )
{
setHour( h ); // set the hour
setMinute( m ); // set the minute
setSecond( s ); // set the second
} // end method setTime

// validate and set hour
public void setHour( int h )
{
hour = ( ( h >= 0 && h < 24 ) ? h : 0 );
} // end method setHour

// validate and set minute
public void setMinute( int m )
{
minute = ( ( m >= 0 && m < 60 ) ? m : 0 );
} // end method setMinute

// validate and set second
public void setSecond( int s )
{
second = ( ( s >= 0 && s < 60 ) ? s : 0 );
} // end method setSecond

// Get Methods
// get hour value
public int getHour()
{
return hour;
} // end method getHour

// get minute value
public int getMinute()
{
return minute;
} // end method getMinute

// get second value
public int getSecond()
{
return second;
} // end method getSecond

// convert to String in universal-time format (HH:MM:SS)
public String toUniversalString()
{
return String.format(
"%02d:%02d:%02d", getHour(), getMinute(), getSecond() );
} // end method toUniversalString

// convert to String in standard-time format (H:MM:SS AM or PM)
public String toString()
{
return String.format( "%d:%02d:%02d %s",
( (getHour() == 0 || getHour() == 12) ? 12 : getHour() % 12 ),
getMinute(), getSecond(), ( getHour() < 12 ? "AM" : "PM" ) );
} // end method toString
} // end class Time2
