Challenge 1: A Rectangle Class with a Constructor and area() — Possible Solution ==================================================================== Rectangle.java: public class Rectangle { private double width; private double height; public Rectangle(double width, double height) { this.width = width; this.height = height; } public double area() { return width * height; } public static void main(String[] args) { Rectangle r = new Rectangle(4.0, 5.0); System.out.println("Area: " + r.area()); } } Output: Area: 20.0 Explanation: width and height are private, so nothing outside Rectangle can read or write them directly. The constructor parameters share the fields' names on purpose, so this.width/this.height are required inside the constructor to distinguish the field from the parameter -- without this, `width = width;` would just assign the parameter to itself. WHY THIS WORKS AS AN ANSWER ------------------------------ Both fields are private per the chapter's own "default to private" guidance, the constructor uses this to disambiguate exactly as demonstrated in the chapter's own Account example, and area() is a public instance method computing a real value from that private state.
