Find largest distance

Java

Hi, I am stuck on a problem that requires me to come up with a way to calculate the largest side perimeters of different shapes. I am kind of confused on how to even start with it tbh.



This is some of the code.

public class PerimeterAssignmentRunner {

public double getPerimeter (Shape s) {

double totalPerim = 0.0;

Point prevPt = s.getLastPoint();

for (Point currPt : s.getPoints()) {

double currDist = prevPt.distance(currPt);

totalPerim = totalPerim + currDist;

prevPt = currPt;

}

// totalPerim is the answer

return totalPerim;

}





The package was provided with points given in another file (don't know the exact the terminology).

What I have tried:

double largestSide = 0;
Point prevPt = s.getLastPoint();
for(Point currPt:s.getPoints())
