JAVA ADT...Help needed!!!!

[raggy_man]

Guyz I really need ur help in developin thiz code coz I can understand wat my Lecturer is expecting but I don't know how 2 implement the coding.....He say itz quite simple but I'm breakin my head here.....Can some 1 help me 2 come up with the code or algorithm for thiz question??? I appreciate ur help....Plzz

Consider there is train track connecting various stations in a circular path and train can go onward as well as downward.
1. Create a class Station with name, onward train timing and downward train timing, distance, onward fare to next station and downward fare to previous station.
2. Create a class Track that can accommodate details of trains and able to provide services-

- method to identify target from current position onward and downward and display distance and fare.
- method to choose the cheapest direction and display the platform bound for next station with time of the train.

3. Use suitable data structures and exceptions to handle the details and show the evidence of handling any abnormal situations. Additional features will attract bonus marks.

I just don't know how 2 implement the queue in the Track class....Help me out n here r my codez...I'm quite sure my Track class iz wrong...

Station Class:
public class Station implements java.io.Serializable {

private String name ;
private Time onwardTime, downwardTime ;
private double onwardFare, downwardFare ;
private int distance ;

public Station() {
setStation( null, null, null, 0, 0.0, 0.0 ) ;
}

public Station( String n, Time on, Time down, int dis, double oFare, double dFare ) {
setStation( n, on, down, dis, oFare, dFare ) ;
}

private void setStation( String n, Time on, Time down, int dis, double oFare,
double dFare ) {

name = n ;
onwardTime = on ;
downwardTime = down ;
distance = dis ;
onwardFare = oFare ;
downwardFare = dFare ;
}

public String getName() {
return name ;
}

public Time getOnwardTime() {
return onwardTime ;
}

public Time getDownwardTime() {
return downwardTime ;
}

public int getDistance() {
return distance ;
}

public double getOnwardFare() {
return onwardFare ;
}

public double getDownwardFare() {
return downwardFare ;
}

public double getFare( double fare ) {
return distance * fare ;
}


public String toString() {
return name + "\t" + onwardTime + "\t" + downwardTime + "\t" + distance + "\t" +
onwardFare + "\t" + downwardFare ;
}
}


Queue Class:

public class Queue {
protected int front, back, count, size;
protected Object q[];
/** Creates a new instance of Queue */
public Queue(int n) {
size = n;
q = new Object[size];
front = count = 0;

public boolean isEmpty() {
return count == 0;
}

}
public void enqueue(Object item) throws QException {
if(!isFull()){
back = (back + 1) % size;
q[back] = item;
count++;
}
else throw new QException("Q FULL");
}
public String toString() {
String out = "";

- A train that moves on a circular path where it can go onward n downward

For eg:
These r the destinations in the train

1 > 2> 3 > 4 > 5

So, I wish 2 travel 2 destination 5 from destination 3...So, I have 2 obtain user input 2 know the current position n find the cheapest n shortest route....There will be 2 wayz to achieve the destination

Path1: 3>4>5
Path2: 3>2>1>5

So, thiz iz the part where I don't know how 2 implement the code// Plz help me out

[CornedBee]

Please write in proper English.

It'z like thiz bro....

- A train that moves on a circular path where it can go onward n downward

For eg:
These r the destinations in the train

1 > 2> 3 > 4 > 5

So, I wish 2 travel 2 destination 5 from destination 3...So, I have 2 obtain user input 2 know the current position n find the cheapest n shortest route....There will be 2 wayz to achieve the destination

Path1: 3>4>5
Path2: 3>2>1>5

I have try 2 solve with by testing onward n downward methodz in a client class...My onward method iz working well but my downward loop iz not functioning as expected...

import javax.swing.* ;
public class Testing {

public static void main( String args[] ) {

int distance[] = { 0, 4, 5, 3 };
String location[] = { "Nilai" , "Labu", "Tiroi", "Seremban" } ;

current = current - 1 ;
int size = location.length ;
int on = 0;
int down = 0;
int journey = 0;

while( on != destination ){
on = current % size ;
System.out.println( location[on] ) ;
on++ ;
current++ ;
}
System.out.println( journey ) ;


do{
down = (size + (current)) % size ;
System.out.println( distance[current] ) ;
journey = journey + distance[current] ;
--current ;
}
while( down != destination );
System.out.println( journey ) ;


}
