1
00:00:00,510 --> 00:00:02,760
The dealership clerk should have a two string method as well.

2
00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:07,530
I showed you that two string makes it easy to print every field and the current object.

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:14,080
When you had to string to your class, Java internally calls it when you're printing the object.

4
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:24,040
When we print the dealership, it would be nice to display every car in the dealership.

5
00:00:27,110 --> 00:00:30,590
So in this lesson, you're going to have to string method to the dealership class.

6
00:00:32,720 --> 00:00:36,710
Like before, the two string method is going to be public and return to string value.

7
00:00:45,990 --> 00:00:50,670
It's really important that you follow the signature exactly so that Gever recognizes it as the two string

8
00:00:50,670 --> 00:00:51,930
method that it needs to call.

9
00:00:53,580 --> 00:00:57,130
And this method is going to return a strong representation of every car and the dealership.

10
00:00:57,150 --> 00:01:02,790
So first I'm going to set a temporary variable equal to an empty string and I'll return it's.

11
00:01:09,690 --> 00:01:12,750
Then a for loop is going to run through the entire length of the car's array.

12
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,680
You can choose to put this or not.

13
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:20,440
It doesn't matter, Javin knows that you're referring to the field cars because it's the only thing

14
00:01:20,440 --> 00:01:21,160
within scope.

15
00:01:21,650 --> 00:01:25,570
But you know me, I like to always include this keyword when referring to a field.

16
00:01:27,780 --> 00:01:33,270
And during each run, we're going to update the string to describe every parking spot, so I'm going

17
00:01:33,270 --> 00:01:37,830
to set temp equal to itself, plus the words parking spot.

18
00:01:39,570 --> 00:01:41,940
Followed by the current index that we're running through.

19
00:01:47,760 --> 00:01:50,310
As well as a new line for aesthetic purposes.

20
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:57,660
Ultimately, this group is going to run three times and each time it's going to append the current parking

21
00:01:57,660 --> 00:01:59,030
spot that we're running through.

22
00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:12,670
For now, I'm going to test this code by printing the dealership object.

23
00:02:24,940 --> 00:02:30,760
And as expected, printing an object automatically calls its two string method, in this case the two

24
00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,230
string method for dealership runs and returns a string that describes every parking spot.

25
00:02:41,420 --> 00:02:45,440
And now remember that each car object also has a two string method as well that describes all of its

26
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,010
fields'.

27
00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:55,180
So during each run, right after we describe the current spot, we're going to add the two string value

28
00:02:55,180 --> 00:02:56,970
of the current car that we're running through.

29
00:02:57,640 --> 00:03:03,400
So we're going to update the string variable to include the two string description of each car object.

30
00:03:06,370 --> 00:03:09,190
Once again, I'm also going to add a new line for aesthetic purposes.

31
00:03:12,700 --> 00:03:17,920
So we should expect that during each run, the temp variable is going to update with the parking spot

32
00:03:17,920 --> 00:03:21,460
and the two string description of the car parked at that spot.

33
00:03:22,330 --> 00:03:24,610
It's going to repeat this three times until I restring.

34
00:03:24,610 --> 00:03:28,300
Variable describes every parking spot and the car that's parked in it.

35
00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:31,550
All right, let's run the code.

36
00:03:39,290 --> 00:03:44,450
And we get a no, a exception, but remember that the third object in the car is array is No.

37
00:03:46,820 --> 00:03:51,440
The for loop effectively grabs the string representation of the first and second objects.

38
00:04:01,710 --> 00:04:07,290
However, the third spot in the area is no, and you can't access or call anything from Intel, Java

39
00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:08,190
is going to crash.

40
00:04:12,260 --> 00:04:17,740
So inside the loop, we need to check if an object is null before attempting to use its two string,

41
00:04:18,500 --> 00:04:20,630
if the current element that the loop is running.

42
00:04:20,660 --> 00:04:21,320
There was no.

43
00:04:33,730 --> 00:04:37,300
Then we're going to update the string to say empty for that parking spot.

44
00:04:49,630 --> 00:04:53,950
Otherwise, if there is an object at that element, we can append its two string.

45
00:04:59,870 --> 00:05:01,370
That's the run your code.

46
00:05:20,060 --> 00:05:24,950
And this is great, the first two elements aren't empty, but the one in index two is.

47
00:05:28,650 --> 00:05:33,090
By printing the object, Jova calls the two string method, which returns a string that effectively

48
00:05:33,090 --> 00:05:35,010
displays every car in the array.

49
00:05:39,780 --> 00:05:44,370
All right, we're officially done programming the car and dealership class, there's still one little

50
00:05:44,370 --> 00:05:50,460
thing we have to fix, but in the end we blueprinted every field action and we added the necessary getters,

51
00:05:50,460 --> 00:05:51,680
setters and to strength.

52
00:05:52,380 --> 00:05:55,860
And now we can effectively program using car and dealership objects.

53
00:05:58,370 --> 00:06:02,850
All of these options are going to come together and form a beautiful application once we add user input.

54
00:06:03,290 --> 00:06:05,510
So for now, let's remove all the function calls.

55
00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:15,720
In this lesson, you added a two string method to the dealership class, the tutoring method for dealership

56
00:06:15,720 --> 00:06:18,660
effectively returns every object in the car's array.
