About file read and output (complex question)
Basically, I finished most part of the assignment. The thing is that I can not get the
"load " method of part c). How to read the file that is created and create the new Flight object? I can finish the whole assignment in a few hours, and I just want to see if anyone can provide some hints. Also, if you find some mistakes in my codes, please tell me although I am confident that there should be no mistakes. The information and my codes are shown below:
For this question, you will be supplementing the classes that were developed in Assignment 4
with additional functionality. The first two parts of this question are worth 2 marks each, the
third part is worth 5 marks, and the last part is worth 1 mark.
(a) For this part, you will be adding a new method to the Airport class that allows us to
create a new Airport object given a String that describes the new airport we would
like to create.
Write a static method called buildFromString that takes a String as a parameter,
and returns a new Airport object. The parameter should be a String of the exact
same format that the current toString method would return. For example, we should be
able to pass the string:
Kennedy International Airport (JFK): New York, NY
to the buildFromString method and we should get back a new Airport object
whose name is 揔ennedy International Airport? whose code is 揓FK? and whose location
is 揘ew York, NY?. Assume that the name, location, and code of an airport cannot
contain the characters ? ? or ? and so there will be only one ?character that separates
the name and the location of the airport, and there will be only one set of brackets
?and ?that surround the airport code.
(b) For this part, you will be adding a new method to the Passenger class that allows us to
create a new Passenger object given a String that describes the new passenger we
would like to create.
Write a static method called buildFromString that takes a String as a parameter,
and returns a new Passenger object. The parameter should be a String of the exact
same format that the current toString method would return. For example, we should be
able to pass the string:
Name: Joe Smith
Age: 35
to the buildFromString method and we should get back a new Passenger object
whose first name is 揓oe? last name is 揝mith? and age is 35. Assume that the first name
and last name will be single words, and so you can always split the first and last name by
looking for the single space character that separates them.
(c) For this section, you will be adding additional functionality to the Flight class that lets
us add an unlimited number of passengers to a flight, and also to save and load a flight to
and from a file.
First, modify the Flight class to allow an unlimited number of passengers to be added
to a flight. If you are using multiple member variables to store the passenger list, you
must modify the class to use an Array to hold the passengers. Initially, set the size of
the array to be 5, and then alter the addPassenger method so that it always ensures that
there is enough room in the passenger array to add the new passenger. It should do this by
checking if the array is full, and doubling its size if it is. We implemented a feature like
this in the Dog class that is on WebCT under the 揈xamples from Class?section, and so
you may use that as a guide. Also, since the addPassenger method will always succeed,
change its return type to be void.
Write a method called getPassenger that takes an integer n and returns the nth passenger
in the list of passengers, or null if there are less than n + 1 passengers in the list.
The passengers should be indexed starting with 0, and so calling getPassenger with the
argument 0 should return the first passenger in the list, calling it with 1 should return the
second passenger, and so on.
Write a method called save that takes a String as a parameter, and returns a boolean
value. The parameter should represent a filename, and the method should save the contents
of the flight to a file with that filename. All of the contents, including the origin and
destination airports, as well as entire list of passengers must be saved. It is up to you to
come up withe strategy for what the file should contain, but since you must be able to
restore the Flight object and all of its data from the file, you must ensure that all of the
data gets saved to the file. This method should return true if it is able to save the flight,
or false otherwise.
Write a static method called load that takes a String as the parameter and returns a new
Flight object. The parameter will represent a filename, and this method should read
in the contents of the file with that filename, and should build a new Flight objects
whose contents are exactly what was in the file. You can assume that the file was created
by your save method, and that the contents have not been modified since it was created,
and so you will not need to implement code to check that the contents of the file is in a
valid format. The new Flight object that is created must contain exactly what was in
the file, and so you will need to restore the origin and destination airports, and the entire
list of passengers that were saved in the file. Fortunately, you have created methods in the
Airport and Passenger classes that allow you to build these objects from a String
representation, and so you should keep in mind that most of the hard work has already
been taken care of in those two methods, you just need to use them properly in this one.
