public class GooseAdapter implements Quackable {
- This declares a public class named
GooseAdapter
.
- It implements the
Quackable
interface, indicating that instances of this class can quack.
Goose goose;
- This declares a member variable named
goose
of type Goose
.
- It represents the goose that is being adapted to quack.
Observable observable;
- This declares a member variable named
observable
of type Observable
.
- It is used to manage observers interested in the quacking events of this goose adapter.
public GooseAdapter(Goose goose) { this.goose = goose; observable = new Observable(this); }
- This is the constructor of the
GooseAdapter
class.
- It takes a
Goose
parameter (goose
) and initializes the goose
member variable with the provided goose.
- It also initializes the
observable
variable with a new instance of Observable
, passing itself (this
) as the QuackObservable
object.
public void quack() { goose.honk(); notifyObservers(); }
- This method is part of the
Quackable
interface implementation.
- It delegates the quacking behavior to the
honk
method of the Goose
object and notifies observers.
public void registerObserver(Observer observer) { observable.registerObserver(observer); }
- This method is part of the
Quackable
interface implementation.
- It delegates the responsibility of registering observers to the
Observable
object.
public void notifyObservers() { observable.notifyObservers(); }
- This method is part of the
Quackable
interface implementation.
- It delegates the responsibility of notifying observers to the
Observable
object.
@Override public String toString() { return "Goose pretending to be a Duck!"; }
- This overrides the
toString
method to provide a custom string representation of the object.
}
- Closes the
GooseAdapter
class.
- Overall Explanation:
- The
GooseAdapter
class adapts a Goose
object to behave like a Quackable
object.
- It implements the
Quackable
interface, providing the necessary methods for quacking, registering observers, and notifying observers.
- The
Goose
's honk
method is used to simulate quacking.
- The
observable
member variable is used to manage observers interested in the quacking events of the goose adapter.
- The
toString
method provides a descriptive string representation of the object.
- This adapter pattern allows a
Goose
to be used in scenarios expecting a Quackable
object, demonstrating how different types of quackable entities can be treated uniformly in the code.
