    This is Java, so you can even turn those ints into Integers and doubles into Doubles if you want to maximize the objects in that part of the code. In all seriousness, though, it looks perfectly fine to me.

    Most of my college coursework was around OOP. That said, they actually did a pretty lousy job of explaining it in a practical sense, so since we were left to figure it out ourselves a lot of our assignments ended up looking like this.

    At the end of the program, our capstone project was to build a full stack app. They did a pretty good job simulating a real professional experience: we all worked together on requirements gathering and database design, then were expected to build our own app.

    To really drive home the real world experience, the professor would change the requirements partway through the project. Which is a total dick move, but actually a good lesson on its own.

    Anyway, this app was mostly about rendering a bunch of different views, and something subtly would change that ended up affecting all views. After the fact, the professor would say something to the effect of “If you used good objects, you’ll only have to make the change in one place.”

    This of course is only helpful if you really appreciated the power of OOP and planned it from the start. Most of us were flying by the seat of our pants, so it was usually a ton of work to get those changes in

    But answer07 is an object… Not sure what your teacher/ta disliked 😆

      To be needlessly pedantic on this joke, answer07 in itself is not an object, but a class, a blueprint for objects. An instance of that class would be an object. Calling the static function main does also not create an instance of the class in the class loader.

        To expand on that you can never instantiate an object of type answer07 since it’s a static class.

        (For the students here the “static” modifier means “it’s on the class, not the object”. Non-static will only be accessible as a “obj.whatever” but static is accessible by “Class.whatever”)

      I presume WeatherData.getData() should be going into some Data class that has multiple properties (using the , as a delimiter) instead of what OP is doing and just using the String

        I mean, unless it’s explicitly specified, one can still argue. For fun, that is. I did it a few times with stuff like using maps when the task said I couldn’t use loops. Didn’t really get into trouble since there was a proper solution ready as well.
