Class DMSConverter

Object

DMSConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter

public class DMSConverter
extends Object
implements Converter

This class converts DMSCoordinate objects to DecimalCoordinate objects. This class should be constructed with a DMSCoordinate object. Once that object is set, convert() can be called to convert the DMSObj to a DecimalCoordinate object and set it appropriately.

Field Summary

Fields

Modifier and Type	Field	Description
(package private) DecimalCoordinate	convertedObj	Once convert() is called, this convertedObj is set to the correct DecimalCoordinate.
(package private) DMSCoordinate	DMSObj	The DMSCoordinate object to be converted.

Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor	Description
DMSConverter()	Default constructor to assign DMSObj to 0.
DMSConverter(DMSCoordinate DMSObj)	Overloaded constructor that takes in a pre-existing DMSCoordinate object and sets DMSObj equal to it.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
void	convert()	Implements the convert() method from the Converter interface.
DecimalCoordinate	getConvertedObj()	Returns convertedObj.

Field Details

DMSObj

DMSCoordinate DMSObj

The DMSCoordinate object to be converted.

convertedObj

DecimalCoordinate convertedObj

Once convert() is called, this convertedObj is set to the correct DecimalCoordinate.

Constructor Details

DMSConverter

public DMSConverter()

Default constructor to assign DMSObj to 0.

DMSConverter

public DMSConverter(DMSCoordinate DMSObj)

Overloaded constructor that takes in a pre-existing DMSCoordinate object and sets DMSObj equal to it.

Parameters:

DMSObj - DMSCoordinate object with values already set.

Method Details

getConvertedObj

public DecimalCoordinate getConvertedObj()

Returns convertedObj.

convert

public void convert()

Implements the convert() method from the Converter interface. Should take the DMSObj and convert that to a DecimalCoordinate, once converted, set convertedObj to the new DecimalCoordinate. Remember all of the useful getters included with the DMSCoordinate class.

When creating and setting the convertedObj, I would recommend to use the DecimalCoordinate(double, double) constructor. A helpful graphic of the formula in action is in the GitHub README, and a link to an explanation is available in the README.
