COMP167 Major Programming Assignment 2

Fall 2024

Implement the following classes that will be used to track personnel at a university. Use data encapsulation to hide implementation details from client classes. Also, make sure you review the coding standards posted at the beginning of the semester. Programs that does not adhere to the standard will be severely penalized.

Common Behaviors:

Each class will have mutator and accessor methods for each property except ArrayLists. ArrayList properties will have num, get, set, add and delete behaviors as described in MP1.

Class Descriptions:

Person:

This class includes the following protected properties: firstname:String, lastname:String, studentId:String, birthDate:Date, phoneNumber:String and represents a generic person. In addition to the mutator and assessors, include a no-arg constructor that sets the properties to reasonable default values and a constructor with parameters for each property – Person( fname:String, lname:String, sId:String, birthDate:String, phoneNumber:String). Note: your constructor code should use the String format of the date “mm/dd/yyyy” to initialize the instance variable that represents a date. Include a toString() method returns each field in the class separated by a comma:

Kelvin, Bryant, 8574945, 9/26/1964, 336-444-4444

Student:

This class inherits from Person and also includes these protected properties: major:String, creditHours:int (total credit hours, not semester credit hours), gpa:float, classSchedule:ArrayList<String> (an ArrayList of course numbers – e.g. {“COMP365”, “MATH201”, “GEEN345”}). In addition to a no-arg constructor, include a constructor that includes one parameter for each field of Person and the fields of Student (except classSchedule). The toString() method returns all the properties of Person and Student in the following format:

Kelvin, Bryant, 8574945, 9/26/1964, 336-444-4444

Computer Science, 65, 3.52

COMP365, MATH201, GEEN345

GraduateStudent:

This class inherits from Student and also includes these protected properties: thesis:String, concentration:String, assistanceType:String (either RA or TA). The class just has a no-arg constructor. The toString() method should return everything from the toString() of Student plus the additional GraduateStudent properties separated by commas:

Kelvin, Bryant, 8574945, 9/26/1964, 336-444-4444

Computer Science, 65, 3.52

COMP365, MATH201, GEEN345

Generic Register Allocation on CISC Architectures, Software Engineeering, RA

Employee:

This class inherits from Person and includes these additional protected properties: hireDate:String, status:String (FT for full-time, PT for part-time), department:String. Include a no-arg constructor only. The toString() returns the Person properties followed by the additional Employee properties:

Kelvin, Bryant, 8574945, 9/26/1964, 336-444-4444

08/15/2007, FT, Computer Science

Faculty:

Extends Employee and includes these additional protected properties: rank:String (Assistant, Associate, Full), researchArea:String, currentCourses:ArrayList<String> (the equivalent of classSchedule in the Student class). Include a no-arg constructor only. Here is the toString() format:

Kelvin, Bryant, 8574945, 9/26/1964, 336-444-4444

08/15/2007, FT, Computer Science

Associate, High Performance Computing

COMP365, GEEN165

Staff:

Inherits from Employee and includes these additional protected properties: jobTitle:String, supervisor:String, careerBand:String (Contributing, Journey, Advanced).

toString() format:

Kelvin, Bryant, 8574945, 9/26/1964, 336-444-4444

Director of Gaming and Fun Activities, Patrice Bryant, Advanced

Department:

Department

+Department() +Department(name:String, location:String) +readDepartment( filename : String) : void +writeDepartment( filename : String) : void +toString():String +//Behaviors for the employees and students	Use default values Instantiate with name and location Append file contents to the Department. Write out the department in input file format. Return a String representation of the department in the input file format.

Grading

Level 1: (15%)

Create UML diagrams for the Person, Student, GraduateStudent, Employee, Faculty and Staff classes. Also, create a UML Domain model showing the relationships between all the classes (including the Department class).

Level 2: (65%)

Implement each of the described classes except for the Department class (it is part of Level 3). In a separate file, create a main method that will instantiate each of the classes and call their respective toString() methods. Send your results to a JOptionPane.

Level 3: (100%)

Create the Department class in a separate file. Modify the main method so that it obtains an input file from the command-line arguments. If there is no command-line argument then start with an empty Department. Use the input file to populate the Department via the readDepartment method. Create extra Student and Employee objects and add them to the department. Prompt the user for an output file name and call the writeDepartment method to save the updated department contents.

Extra Credit (10%)

Implement a GUI using SceneBuilder. Details will be given in an Addendum document. Note: Extra credit can only benefit the non-exam portion of your final grade.
