 * The purpose of this lab is to acquaint you with several of

 * Before continuing, make sure that the language level is set to

/*
 * Here's a example of a basic class:
 *
 * A Person is a class that has three fields: a first name (String), a
 * last name (String), and a birth year (int).
 *
 * On a piece of paper, draw the data definition in box form as you've
 * seen in lecture.
 */

/* Come up with some examples in English of a Person.  For example:
 *
 *   - John, Adams, 1735
 *   - Neil, Armstrong, 1930
 *   - Dan, Aykroyd, 1952
 *
 * Make some more examples below in this comment:
 *
 *

 */

/*
 * Now in the space between the two lines below, write a Java class
 * definition for the Person class.  Make sure to also write a purpose
 * statement for the class in a comment above the class definition!
 */

/**********************************************************************/

/**********************************************************************/

/*
 * After hitting the Run button, use the Interactions Window to define
 * a few instances of the class.  Practice using both of the following
 * formats:
 *
 *   - new Person("first", "last", 1979)
 *     (note that there's no semicolon at the end!)
 *   - Person p = new Person("first", "last", 1979);
 *     (for definitions, the semicolon is required)
 *
 * Some ideas for example data: yourself, a friend, or your TAs/tutor.
 */

/*
 * To save your examples in your code, you need to insert them into
 * a class called Examples which you can then instantiate and test.
 * Look at the bottom of this file to see a definition of Examples
 * and to see how to insert your examples into it.

/**********************************************************************/

/*
 * Practicing creating some more classes and examples below.  Some
 * ideas for classes (some of which you've seen in class) might be:
 *
 *   - Addresses
 *   - Books
 *   - Train stations
 *   - Restaurant menu items
 *
 * First think about what type of information you need for each class,
 * come up with examples of the class (in English), write a data
 * definition for the class, create the Java class definition, and
 * then translate your English examples into Java.
 */

/**********************************************************************/

/**********************************************************************/

/*
 * Now practice containment: create a class Lecture that has a
 * lecturer (Person), a building name (String), and a room number
 * (int).  Follow the same format as before (examples in English, data
 * definition on paper, class definition, examples in Java).
 */

/**********************************************************************/

/**********************************************************************/

/*
 * Come up with some more ideas of classes that might contain Persons
 * (or Lectures, or whatever classes you came up with on your own
 * above) -- there's space below to work on them.  Some examples are
 * courses (contains Lectures) and the Executive Branch of the US
 * Government (contains Persons such as the President, VP, etc.).

/*
 * Now you'll create a union of classes.  The main example we'll use
 * here are Shapes:
 * 
 *   - A Shape has an x (int) and y (int) coordinate.
 *   - A Circle is a Shape with a radius (int).
 *   - A Square is a Shape with a side length (int).
 *   - A Rectangle is a Shape with a width (int) and height (int).
 *
 * Shape itself is an abstract class -- we're not interested in creating
 * instances of Shape directly, but rather of creating instances of its
 * subclasses.
 *
 * Go through the same steps as above.
 */

/**********************************************************************/

/**********************************************************************/

/*
 * As before, try coming up with your own examples of unions.  Some
 * examples are types of automobiles or different methods of mass
 * transit.
