Assignment 5
Goals: Practice working with abstract classes, constructors, exceptions.
Instructions
The names of the projects and some of the project files must be exactly the same as specified in the assignment. Failure to do so makes it impossible for the graders to run your submission and results in immediate loss of at least 50% of the homework credit.
Make sure you follow the style guidelines for code indentation.
You will submit this assignment by the deadline using the Web-CAT submission system. We will be practicing its use during the lab next week.
With each homework you will also submit your log file named pairxxx.txt where you replace xxx with your pair number.
On top of every file you submit you will have the names of both partners, and the pair number.
The .txt file will be the log of your work on this assignment. Each log entry will have data and time, who was present (one or both of the partners) and a short comment decribing what you were working on.
Submit the assignment in three parts: ExcelCells.java or ExcelCells.zip, BoundedPt.java, and Account.java or Account.zip
Due Date: Friday, October 12th, 9:59 pm.
Practice Problems
Work out these problems on your own. Save them in an electronic portfolio, so you can show them to your instructor, review them before the exam, use them as a reference when working on the homework assignments.
Work out the problems 21.3, 21.7, 21.8, 21.9
Problem 1: Complex Data
Define the file ExcelCells.java that will contain the entire solution to this problem.
For this problem we use classes that represent data in the cells of a spreadsheet. For each cell we record its row and column, where the cell is located, and the data (IData) stored. An IData item is either a number (int) or a Formula.
Each formula can be one of three possible functions: + (representing addition), min (producing the minimum of the two cells), or * (computing the product) and involves two other cells in the computation.
Design the classes (and interfaces) needed to represent the given information.
Draw the class diagram for the classes and interfaces you have designed.
Make an example of the following spreadsheet segment:
| A | B | C | D | E |
--+------------+----------+-------+-------+------------+
1 | 8 | 3 | 4 | 6 | 2 |
--+------------+----------+-------+-------+------------+
2 | min(B1,E1) | +(A1,C1) | | | *(B2,D1) |
--+------------+----------+-------+-------+------------+
3 | *(A1,A2) | +(B2,E1) | | | min(A3,D1) |
--+------------+----------+-------+-------+------------+
4 | | +(B3,B2) | | | min(B4,E3) |
--+------------+----------+-------+-------+------------+
5 | | +(B4,B3) | | | *(B5,E4) |
--+------------+----------+-------+-------+------------+
Draw this spreadsheet on paper and fill in the values that should show in each cell.
Do not hand this in. It should help you in working out the rest of this problem.
Design the method value that computes the value of this cell.
Hint: follow the recipe... examples really help.
Design the method countArgs that computes the number of cells that contain numbers (not formulas) involved in computing the value of this cell.
Note: Make sure you count every cell only once. So the value of the call B4 is computed by using the values in the cells A1, C1, and E1, and so the method countArgs will return 3.
Problem 2: Constructors
Here is a class that represents a location within our drawing canvas:
class BoundedPt extends Posn{ |
int WIDTH = 600; // the width of the canvas |
int HEIGHT = 400; // the height of the canvas |
|
BoundedPt(int x, int y){ |
super(x, y); |
} |
} |
We would like to make sure that the user cannot define a point outside of the WIDTH and HEIGHT of the canvas.
Design a new constructor that throws an exception if the given coordinates are outside of the bounds, and lets the user know how far out of bounds the values were on each side. So the message may be:
"The given x coordinate was 40 points beyond the right edge"
Note: The call to the super constructor must be the first action of the constructor for this class, even when the constructor throws an exception.
Problem 3: Abstract Classes
Finish the problem 2 from the Lab 5a – defining the same method for the classes that represent bank accounts.
Design the method canWithdraw that determines whether the cutomer can withdraw the desired amnount from an account. Can this method be lifted to the abstract class?
Design the method moreAvailable, which determines whether this account has more available for withdrawal than the given account. Can this method be lifted to the abstract class? Or does it have to be defined in each class?
Design the method withdraw that produces a new Account, same as this one, but with the given amount withdrawn. Can this method be lifted to the abstract class? Or does it have to be defined in each class?
Throw a RuntimeException if the customer is trying to withdraw more that what can be withdrawn.
