如何在Java中扩展抽象类

Question

I have a made an engine class that is as follows. based on

Engine: Interface that extends Java's Comparable (to compare among engines) and declares an integer getter method “getForce”, which indicatesthat engine subclasses will have a force they are capable of
producing.

public interface Engine extends Comparable<Engine>{

public int getForce();

}

I am trying to make an AbstractEngine class based on the following description.

AbstractEngine : Abstract class implemented by most engines. It subclasses from Engine and has an integer field indicating its force. This field is initialized through a constructor. The class overrides getForce from Engine and compareTo from Comparable . The comparison of two engines is done by finding the difference between their forces (in such a way that sorting a collection of engines arranges. I am confused on overriding the methods from Engine and making sure AbstractEngine has the compare to the Engine has.

This is what I have at the moment, but it's failing a JUnit test checking if AbstractEngine has the getForce , equals , and CompareTo . Is there a specific way I have to extend the methods?

abstract class AbstractEngine implements Engine {

public AbstractEngine(int force){

}
public int compareTo(Engine o) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    return 0;
}
}

here is the junit test

import static org.junit.Assert.*;

import org.junit.Test;

public class EngineTest {

    Engine engine = new Engine() {

        @Override

Answer 1

• In the constructor of AbstractEngine , you need to set the force member variable.
• It is not necessary to have a getForce() method in AbstractClass , if this method looks exactly the same as in class Engine .
• You have to implement the compareTo method as described in the assignment, either in the Engine class or in the AbstractEngine class.

Reading the description, shouldn't the force member variable be in the AbstractEngine class instead of the Engine class? (If you put it in AbstractEngine , then getForce() should also be in AbstractEngine instead of Engine ).
