Simulating Race Cars with OOP | Code and Programming for Beginners 26 of 28 | Study Hall

In this episode, we’ll put everything we’ve learned so far into practice and use object-oriented programming to simulate a real-world scenario: specifically, racing some virtual cars. We’ll start by brainstorming classes to plan out our program, and we’ll end by writing some basic Java code that runs a simple race simulator.

Since constructors, getters, and setters are ubiquitous in Plain Old Java Objects (or “POJO”s) and mostly use the same boilerplate code, there are tools like Lombok you can use to automatically generate that code for you so your class only needs to define its variables and any specialized methods. Just adding `@lombok.Data` in front of the class block will generate the getters, setters, and a friendly `toString()` method; and you can choose `@lombok.AllArgsConstructor`, `@lombok.NoArgsConstructor`, or both depending on how you want to initialize the class. It helps keep your code lean.
