Week 4 - Homework: Course Enrollment

This homework will help you learn how to solve problem with multiple Java classes.

The objectives of this week are following:

• Programming abstraction of simple enrollment system.
• Learn more about class composition relationship.
• Reusing PList and PNode classes with other types of data.
• Using constructor to initialized class data type.
• Using "this" keyword as parameter.

##PNode Class

• Modify the PNode class from your previous work to store "Object" data instead of "char".

##PList Class

• Modify the PList class from your previous work to be able to handle "Object" data instead of "char".
• Make sure all the methods work correctly with "Object".
• Rename the method "search(char i)" to "found(Object data)" which search the list for the specified data
  • Return True if the data is found in the list, otherwise returns False.
• Add the "remove(Object data)" which removes the first node containing the "data" from the list.
  • Returns True if data is removed successfully, otherwise returns False.
• Add the "elementAt(int index)" which returns an "Object" data stored at location "index".
  • "index" value of a list starts from 0 to (size-1)
  • Returns "null" if "i" is invalid.

##Student Class From your previous work:

• Add a list of courses that a student has enrolled successfully. Implement using "PList".

Methods:

• Modify constructors so that they can initialized the "courses" attribute properly.
• Add the "addCourse(Course c)" method to add a course that a student wants to enroll.
• Add the "dropCourse(Course c)" method to drop a course that a student wants to drop.
• Modify the "toString()" method : for printing the student object's state:
  • Also printing "course id" and "course name" of all courses that a student has enrolled.

##Course Class From your previous work:

• Modify the default maximum number of students to 3 (instead of 10).
• Add a list of students that has already enrolled in this course. Implement using "Plist".

Methods:

• Modify constructors so that they can initialized the "students" attribute properly.
• Add the "enrollStudent(Student s)" method to add a student to a course.
  • Need to check if the course is FULL or not?
  • Need to check if the student is ALREADY ENROLLED to the course or not?
  • Return TRUE, if the student is enrolled successfully.
  • Otherwise, print error message, and return FALSE.
• Add the "removeStudent(Student s)" method to remove a student from a course.
  • Need to check if the course has NO STUDENT or not?
  • Need to check if the student is ALREADY ENROLLED to the course or not?
  • Return TRUE, if the student is removed successfully.
  • Otherwise, print error message, and return FALSE.
• Modify the "toString()" method : for printing the course object's state:
  • Also printing "student id" and "student name" of all students who are studying this course.

To complete the homework you need to meet following requirements:

• Pass all test cases: PListTest.java, StudentTest.java, CourseTest.java
• Output from the "TestEnrollment.java" program should be the same as or very similar to the output stored in the "TestEnrollment-output.txt".
• Draw a class diagram showing the relationship among the classes: PNode, PList, Student, and Course
