R12.8. Some books on object-oriented programming recommend using inheritance so that the class Circle extends the class Point. Then the Circle class inherits the setLocation method from the Point superclass. Explain why the setLocation method need not be redefined in the subclass. Why is it nevertheless not a good idea to have Circle inherit from Point? Conversely, would inheriting Point from Circle fulfill the is-a rule? Would it be a good idea?

R12.9. Write CRC cards for the Coin and CashRegister classes described in Section 8.2.

Suppose your task is to write a program that reads in such a file and prints The country with the largest area The country with the largest population The country with the largest population density (people per square kilometer) Think through the problems that you need to solve. What classes and methods will you need? Produce a set of CRC cards, a UML diagram, and a set of javadoc comments.
