Class Id

java.lang.Object
  edu.lasalle.redmond.IDs.Id

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable

public class Id
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable

Field Summary

protected int

secret

Constructor Summary

Id()
Creates a new instance of Id

Id(int len)
Creates a new ranom instance of Id - given a length of Id assumes no check digit

Id(int len, boolean check)
Creates a new ranom instance of Id - given a length of Id and whether a check digit is desired assumes no check digit

Id(java.lang.String str)
Creates a new instance of Id - given a string

Method Summary

char	addCheckDigit() change id to add a check digit to the string
boolean	checkCheckDigit() Check to see if an Id has a proper check digit
int	compareTo(java.lang.Object obj) Compares two Ids - needed for sorting - required since implements Comparable interface returns negative if object comparing to is less, zero if object comparing to is equal, positive if object comparing to is greater
boolean	equals(Id toCompare) determine if a passed Id has the same contents as the calling object (Id number, required length, AND check digit)
boolean	equals(java.lang.Object toCompare) determine if a passed Id has the same contents as the calling object (Id number, required length, AND check digit) Overrides version in java.lang.Object
static char	generateCheckDigit(java.lang.String basicPart) Generate a check digit based on a given "rest" of an ID
static java.lang.String	genRandomValidId() generate a random account number Length is not specified - make 4 digits by default
static java.lang.String	genRandomValidId(int len) generate a random account number Length is specified
boolean	getCheckDig() report whether id has a check digit
java.lang.String	getId() report actual id string
int	getLength() report actual current id string length
int	getRequiredLen() report desired id string length
void	setCheckDig(boolean check) change whether id has a check digit
void	setId(java.lang.String str) change actual id string
boolean	setRequiredLen(int len) change desired id string length
java.lang.String	toShortString()
java.lang.String	toString()
