Counter and Subclasses

Description

This is a Java project that demonstrates the use of classes and inheritance to create different types of counters. The project includes three classes: Counter, StepCounter, and ModNCounter, each with its unique behavior and features.

Usage

To use this project, you can follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository to your local machine using Git:

   git clone https://github.com/kathleenforgiarini/java_counters.git
   

2. Open the project in your preferred Java development environment (IDE).

3. Run the CounterTester1 class to test and demonstrate the functionality of the counter classes.

Project Structure

• bus package contains the counter classes (Counter, StepCounter, ModNCounter).
• client package contains the CounterTester1 class to test and demonstrate the counter classes.

Counter Classes

• Counter: The base class representing a simple counter with the ability to increment, decrement, and reset.
• StepCounter: Extends Counter and adds a step value for each increment and decrement operation.
• ModNCounter: Extends Counter and resets to a specific value (1 by default) when reaching a maximum limit.

Example Output

You can refer to the example output in the comments section of the CounterTester1 class to see how the counters behave and their interactions.
