I have a school project entitled "Amusement Park Programming Project"
It requires four classes to be created:
- Ticket - Models admission tickets
- Merchandise - Models merchandise available in gift shop
- AmusementPark - Tracks ticket and merchandise inventory / sales
- WaldenAmusementPark - Tester program
AmusementPark Class is where I need help - I understand what needs to be happening per the instructions but I am unclear on how to access getter / setter methods and ArrayLists that are defined in Ticket and Merchandise to make things happen - I am reading the guidance, watching videos but unable to make it work?:
I've pasted my code (such as it is) below - any guidance is appreciated Not looking for the actual code to be written - just to clear up my confusion. Thanks in advance.
----------------TICKET CLASS----------------------------------
import java.util.*;

//Ticket Class models admission tickets

private long number;
private String category;
private String holder;
private Date date;

this.number = number; //Stores unique ticket ID Number
this.category = category; //Stores adult, child, or senior
this.holder = holder; //Stores name of purchaser
this.date = date; //Stores admission date for the ticket
this.price = price; //Stores price of the ticket
this.purchased = purchased; //Stores true if purchased, false if reserved
} // End Brace Constructor Ticket
// MUTATOR METHODS..............................................
