### Exercise 2.2
* What value is returned if you check the machine’s balance after it has printed a ticket?
Answer: The balance will be 0

### Exercise 2.3
* Experiment with inserting different amounts of money before printing tickets.
* Do you notice anything strange about the machine’s behavior?
* What happens if you insert too much money into the machine – do you receive any refund?
Answer: The machine will keep the money if too much money is inserted. There will be no refund
Answer:
* What happens if you do not insert enough and then try to print a ticket?
Answer: The tickets will still be printed

### Exercise 2.4
* Try to obtain a good understanding of a ticket machine’s behavior by interacting with it on the object bench before we start looking at how the `TicketMachine` class is implemented in the next section.

* Create another ticket machine for tickets of a different price.
* Buy a ticket from that machine.
* Does the printed ticket look different?
Answer: No, the only difference would only be the price of the ticket. Tickets are still being printed regardless of how much money is being inserted.

### Exercise 2.6
* Write out what you think the outer wrappers of the `Student` and `LabClass` classes might look like – do not worry about the inner part.

or<br>
`class public TicketMachine`<br>

Answer: Yes, only the latter works.

* Edit the source of the `TicketMachine` class to make the change and then close the editor window.
* Do you notice a change in the class diagram?
Answer; You can no longer create an object out of the class diagram
* What error message do you get when you now press the compile button?
Answer: "Error(s) found in class. Press Command K or click link on right to go to next error."
* Do you think this message clearly explains what is wrong?
Answer: Yes

### Exercise 2.8
* Check whether or not it is possible to leave out the word `public` from the outer wrapper of the `TicketMachine` class.

* From your earlier experimentation with the ticket machine objects within BlueJ you can probably remember the names of some of the methods – `printTicket`, for instance.
* Look at the class definition in Code 2.1 and use this knowledge, along with the additional information about ordering we have given you, to try to make a list of the names of the fields, constructors, and methods in the `TicketMachine` class.
* Hint: There is only one constructor in the class.

Answer: Fields: Price, Balance, and Total
constructor: Ticket machine
Methods: getPrice, getTicketNumber, getBalance,
### Exercise 2.10
* Do you notice any features of the constructor that make it significantly different from the other methods of the class?
Answer: Constructors is the only method with a parameter, responsible for assigning the values of price, balance, total, and ticketNumber. Also the constructor does not return any types of values

does it matter which order the three words appear in?
Answer: Yes
* Edit the `TicketMachine` class to try different orderings. After each change, close the editor.
* Does the appearance of the class diagram after each change give you a clue as to whether or not other orderings are
possible?
possible? Yes
* Check by pressing the compile button to see if there is an error message.
* Make sure that you reinstantiate the original version after your experiments!

### Exercise 2.14
* Is it always necessary to have a semicolon at the end of a field declaration?
Answer: Yes, as semicolon tells you the end of your declaration.
* Once again, experiment via the editor.
* The rule you will learn here is an important one, so be sure to remember it.


### Exercise 2.15
* Write in full the declaration for a field of type `int` whose name is `status`.
Answer: private int status

### Exercise 2.16
* To what class does the following constructor belong?
```
public Student(String name)
```
Answer: Student

### Exercise 2.17
* How many parameters does the following constructor have and what are their types?
```

Answer: 2 parameters

### Exercise 2.18

* Can you assume anything about the names of its fields?

Answer: Some of the names that can be included in the fields would be Genre, Price, and Title
