Flight Data Formatting and Passenger Name Standardization

Welcome back,Developers!

In the previous lab, we learned about Classes, Objects, Inheritance, and Arrays to create and manage flight records. In this lab, we extend those concepts by implementing Abstraction and the DAO Pattern using an Interface.

• Basic Java programming concepts

• Classes and objects

• Encapsulation (getters and setters)

• String manipulation methods

Use the Existing Class

Begin with the provided basic Passenger class structure.

Add formatName() Method

Create a method to standardize passenger names into a consistent format (e.g., proper case).

Update setName() Method

Modify the setter to automatically call formatName() before storing the value.

Run and Verify Output

Test the program to ensure that names are correctly formatted and stored

Output:

Modify setPassportNumber() Method

Add validation logic to ensure passport numbers follow the required format and rules

 Add Masked Passport Feature

Implement a method to display a masked version of the passport number for security purposes

Testing

Output:

Run test cases to verify:

• Proper validation of passport numbers

• Correct masking of sensitive data

• Expected program output

Great job!
In this lab, we enhanced an encapsulated Java class by implementing data cleaning, formatting, and validation techniques. We also improved performance using StringBuilder and strengthened data security by masking sensitive information such as passport numbers.
