CPE 101, Turner --- Lab 3 --- Spring 2003

This lab is to be done individually. It is modified from one by Dr. O'Gorman.

Laboratory Exercise for Week 3

This lab is designed to give you further experience in designing and coding Java objects. You will create a worker class Person that contains information about a person's name, and an applicaion class that creates four Person objects and prints them in several ways.

You may have noticed that cultures in Asia usually give the surname first when using a person's name. Persons from these cultures often continue that preference even when relocated to a Western locale. Your Person objects will record the surname and given name of a person, along with the preference that person has for the way the name is said or written. Moreover, it will provide accessor ("getter") methods to produce the name in Western, Asian, and the preferred form, as well as to access the preference and the parts of the name.

Requirements:

Your worker class must be named Person and must be defined in a file named Person.java.
Your application class must be named TestPerson and must be defined in a file named TestPerson.java.
The worker class must have the constructor and other public methods documented in the Javadoc page for a solution. (Ah, so that is what Javadoc does!)
The application class must create four Person objects, then it must print the names three different ways, once each in Western form, Asian form, and finally in the form preferred by the person. You may assign the names as you like, but the content of the names must reflect the preference; you may use the names from the example below if you like.
Next, your TestPerson's main method must print the results of the accessor methods for one of the Person objects (it doesn't matter which one, and you should do this for only one).
Finally, your TestPerson's main method must change the preference in the Person which was just printed, and then print the preferred name of that Person.
Running your application must produce output like this:
```
	 $ java TestPerson
         
         Western names:
           Mary Roe
           John Doe
           Chong-il Kim
           Dae-jung Kim

         Asian names:
           Roe Mary
           Doe John
           Kim Chong-il
           Kim Dae-jung

         Preferred names:
           Mary Roe
           John Doe
           Kim Chong-il
           Kim Dae-jung
 
         Parts:
           Given name: Dae-jung
              Surname: Kim
	   Preference: true
	   
	 New preferred name:
	   Dae-jung Kim
```

Due Date: All parts must be handed in by 9 p.m. on Friday, April 18 using handin to the "Lab3b" folder. .
