Class Food

java.lang.Object
  foodManagement.Food

All Implemented Interfaces:

Listable

public class Food
extends java.lang.Object
implements Listable

An IMMUTABLE class that represents an item that might be part of an entree in a restaurant. (For example, Toast or Coffee.) A food object has a name (String), a wholesale cost measured in pennies (int), a retail price measured in pennies (int), and a small picture that depicts the item (java.awt.Image).

Note that the constructor is private, so the only available Food objects are those that are found in the public static array of Food objects called FOOD_OBJECTS. (You cannot use "new" to instantiate a Food object, you must use the ones that are already in the FOOD_OBJECTS array.)
