Question

Create an abstract Student class for Parker University. The class contains fields for student ID number, last name, and annual tuition. Include a constructor that requires parameters for the ID number and name. Include get and set methods for each field; the setTuition() method is abstract. Create three Student subclasses named UndergraduateStudent, GraduateStudent, and StudentAtLarge, each with a unique setTuition() method. Tuition for an UndergraduateStudent is $4,000 per semester, tuition for a GraduateStudent is $6,000 per semester, and tuition for a StudentAtLarge is $2,000 per semester.

Answer 1

Answer:

<?php

abstract class Student {

 public $Id; // field for student ID  Number

 public $Lastname; // field for student last name

 public $Tuition; // field for annual tuition

 public function __construct( $id, $lastname) { // constructor property to initialise id number and lastname

  $this->Id = $id; // variable initialisation

  $this->Lastname = $lastname;

 }

 // set Id number

 public function setId($id) {

  return $this->Id = $id;

 }

 // get id number

 public function getId() {

  return $this->Id;

 }

   // set lastname

 public function setLastname($lastname) {

  return $this->Lastname = $lastname;

 }

 // get lastname

 public function getLastname() {

  return $this->Lastname;

 }

   //the setTuition() method is abstract

 abstract public function setTuition($amount);

 // get Tuition fee

 public function getTuition(){

  return $this->Tuition;

 }

}

 // UndergraduateStudent is a subclass that inherits the properties of class Student

class UndergraduateStudent extends Student {

 public function setTuition($amount) {

  return $this->Tuition = $amount;

 }

}

class GraduateStudent extends Student {

 public function setTuition($amount) {

  return $this->Tuition = $amount;

 }

}

class StudentAtLarge extends Student{

 public function setTuition($amount) {

  return $this->Tuition = $amount;

 }

}

   // create an instance of the class

$Undergraduate = new UndergraduateStudent(1,"Anyadike");

   // call all required methods

   echo ' id: '.$Undergraduate->getId();

   echo ' name:'.$Undergraduate->getLastname();

   echo " Tution:".$Undergraduate->setTuition("$4000");

 echo "
";

$GraduateStudent = new GraduateStudent(2,"Okonkwo");

   echo ' id: '.$GraduateStudent->getId();

   echo ' name:'.$GraduateStudent->getLastname();

   echo " Tution:".$GraduateStudent->setTuition("$6000");

 echo "
";

$StudentAtLarge = new StudentAtLarge(3,"Ojukwu");

 echo ' id: '.$StudentAtLarge->getId();

   echo ' name:'.$StudentAtLarge->getLastname();

   echo " Tution:".$StudentAtLarge->setTuition("$2000");

?>
