Creating a Oval class?

[SincereShel]

hey I got to create an oval class for my java class.

Create an Oval class given the following design:

YourLastNameOval

variables: width, length

methods:
setWidth - changes the width. Requires one parameter for width.
setLength - changes the length. Requires one parameter for length.
getWidth - returns the oval width.
getLength - returns the oval length.
area - returns the area of the oval ((l*w)*0.8) given the current width and length

Write appropriate client code to test the class. Call the client class simply YourLastName

This is what I have so far.

public class McIntoshOval {
public double length, width;

public Oval(){
public int width = 5;
public int length = 10;
}

public Oval(double l, double w){
length = l;
width = w;
}

public void setLength(){
length = l;
}

public double getLength(){
return(length);
}

public void setWidth(){
width = w;
}

public double getWidth(){
return(width);
}

public double area (){
return((l*w)*0.8) ;
}




public static void main(String[] args) {
}
}

Can anyone give me some help, perhaps stir me in the right direction and let me know of things I am missing Id really appreciate it. Thanks.

And client code?? What is that?

[petes1234]

the client class simply has a main method, creates one or more Oval objects and tests them.

Regarding help: what specific questions do you have?

If you provide methods to set the length or the width, you need to allow the desired values to be passed into them.
