Class DecimalConverter

Object

DecimalConverter

All Implemented Interfaces:

Converter

public class DecimalConverter
extends Object
implements Converter

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

Field Summary

Fields

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

Constructor Summary

Constructors

Constructor	Description
DecimalConverter()	Default constructor to assign decimalObj to 0.
DecimalConverter(DecimalCoordinate decimalObj)	Overloaded constructor which takes in a pre-existing DecimalCoordinate object and sets decimalObj equal to it.

Method Summary

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

Field Details

decimalObj

DecimalCoordinate decimalObj

The DecimalCoordinate object to be converted.

convertedObj

DMSCoordinate convertedObj

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

Constructor Details

DecimalConverter

public DecimalConverter()

Default constructor to assign decimalObj to 0.

DecimalConverter

public DecimalConverter(DecimalCoordinate decimalObj)

Overloaded constructor which takes in a pre-existing DecimalCoordinate object and sets decimalObj equal to it.

Parameters:

decimalObj - DecimalCoordinate object with values already set.

Method Details

getConvertedObj

public DMSCoordinate getConvertedObj()

Returns convertedObj.

Returns:

convert

public void convert()

Implements the convert() method from the Converter interface. Should take the decimalObj and convert that to a DMSCoordinate, once converted, set convertedObj to the new DecimalCoordinate. The Math.floor() function will come in handy! There is some more information in the Additional Info section of the README. Math.floor() also returns a double, so to convert from double to int use the `(int)` cast before a double to "cast" it to an int.

When creating and setting the convertedObj, I would recommend to use the DMSCoordinate(int, int, int, int, int, int) 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.
