You are a programmer in the IT department of an important law firm. Your job is to create a program that will report gross salary amounts and other compensation.
There are three types of employees in your firm:
Programmers
Lawyers
Accountants
Your computer-based solution will use inheritance to reflect the ‘general-to-specific’ nature of your employee hierarchy.
Common attributes for all employees are:
Name
Salary
Attributes for specific employee types are:
Lawyers:
Stock options earned (type int)
Accountants
Parking allowance amount (type double)
Programmers:
Bus pass (type boolean)
The three specific classes of employees should extend the abstract Employee class (nobody is a generic employee) and implement their own reportSalary() method.
The pay schedule is:
Employees earn the base salary of $40K per year
Accountants earn the base employee salary per year
Programmers earn the base employee salary plus $20K per year o Lawyers earn the base employee salary plus $30K per year
Requirements:
Each subclass of Employee must implement its own reportSalary() method. The specific implementations of reportSalary() are limited to a printed line:
System.out.println(“I am a lawyer. I get “ + getSalary() + “, and I have ” + getOptions() + “ shares of stock.”);

System.out.println(“I am an accountant. I make “ + getSalary() + “ plus a parking allowance of “ + getParking());
System.out.println("I am a programmer. I make " + getSalary() + " and I" + ((getBusPass())?" get a bus pass.":" do not get a bus pass."));
Salaries for specific types of employees are in addition to the base employee salary.
Raising the base employee salary should automatically raise salaries for all types of employees (hmmm…).
An object of the ‘Employee’ class cannot be instantiated because it would be too
general.
Attribute(s) that belong to a super or sub class should be initialized in the corresponding class constructor.
Task 1:
Setup a class hierarchy to accurately reflect the relationships in your law firm.
Task 2:
Create a driver program that will create employee objects and report salaries for your company’s employee base:
