Hi Jon,
A way the Person object could be connected to the getAddress method
could be if the Person object "HAS-A" reference to an Address object
and delegates the functionality of its address retrieval method to
Address.getAddress():
public class Person {
private AddressInterface address = new Address(); // polymorphism
public AddressInterface getAddress() {
return address.getAddress(); // delegation
}
}
... and the Address object "IS-A" AddressInterface:
public class Address implements AddressInterface {
private String street;
// other Address variables
public AddressInterface getAddress() {}
// other Address methods
}
For further reading I'd suggest googling for "polymorphism" and
"delegation" in regards to their implementations in Java.
Hope this helped.
Have a good day,
Geoff.
