This project was assigned for the Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming (CMPE 160) course in the Spring 2021 semester.
We are all living in a world where technological revolutions occur almost every day. One of the most important revolutions was, of course, the Communication Systems. Today, you’re going to implement a simple version of a communication system.
There will be Customers, Operators, and Bills that belong to the Customers. Customers can talk to each other, message each other, or they can connect to the internet via their mobile phones. Operators have their unique costs for the corresponding actions that will be given to you in the input. Every customer will have their unique Bill that stores and do the necessary actions about their spending.
You’re going to take the input as an input file, do the operations, and will print out the necessary information to the output file. There will be no System.in arguments, in other words, there will not be any input given with the keyboard while the program runs.
Note that there will be multiple classes, (Not like in CMPE150) Therefore, think a little bit about the structure before starting to implement the program.
Field and Method names that are given to you in this Document must be identical in terms of names and structures in your Project. That doesn’t mean that you can not add extra Methods or Fields.
There will be 4 classes interacting with each other in this project:
- Main
- Customer
- Operator
- Bill
Note that, it will be better to do the necessary calculations via using corresponding methods in the Customer, Operator, or Bill class, not in the main Class. Some parts of the main class are given to you (input-output operations); however, the other 3 classes are given completely empty. You’re expected to fill these classes with the given directions.
Main Class is for the general input-output operations. You are going to read an input file that contains directions about the simulation and do several actions, then you will print out the desired results into the output file. These directions will be explained in a detailed way, later on in this document. The name of the input and output files will be given as arguments of the program. For the input-output test cases, we are going to use your main class.
There will be 2 arrays in the main method as follows:
● Customer[] customers
● Operator[] operators
You are going to store the corresponding data in these arrays. All of these arrays must be initialized and, all of the elements in these arrays must be set to “null” as default. You’re going to edit these arrays whenever a new object is created.
Customer Class must have the following fields, exactly as named below:
● int ID
● String name
● int age
● Operator operator
● Bill bill
Customer class must have the following methods with the exact parameters:
● A constructor with five parameters: int ID, String name, int age, Operator
operator, double limitingAmount
● void talk(int minute, Customer other) : for customers to talk via the operator.
Other is the other customer, mainly the second customer.
● void message(int quantity, Customer other) : for customers to send a message,
amount is the number of messages to be sent. Other is the other customer,
mainly the second customer.
● void connection(double amount) : for customers to connect to the internet.
Amount is the number of data as MB.
● Getter and setter methods for age, operator, and bill. Ex: getAge(), setAge(int age)
Operator class should have these fields with the exact names:
● int ID
● double talkingCharge
● double messageCost
● double networkCharge
● int discountRate
Operator class should have the following methods with the given parameters:
● A constructor with 5 parameters: ID, talkingCharge, messageCost,
networkCharge, discountRate
● double calculateTalkingCost(int minute, Customer customer) : for calculating
the total amount to pay for talking.
● double calculateMessageCost(int quantity, Customer customer, Customer
other) : for calculating the total amount to pay for talking.
● double calculateNetworkCost(double amount) : for calculating the total amount
to pay for talking.
● Getter and setter methods for talkingCharge, messageCost, networkCharge,
discountRate.
Bill class must have the following fields:
● double limitingAmount
● double currentDebt
Bill Class must have the following methods with the exact parameters:
● Constructor with 1 parameter: limitingAmount. Note that you should initialize
the currentDebt as zero.
● boolean check(double amount) : for checking whether the limitingAmount is
exceeded or not.
● void add(double amount) : for adding debts to the bill.
● void pay(double amount) : for paying the bills with the given amount.
● void changeTheLimit(double amount) : for changing the limitingAmount.
● Getter methods for limitingAmount and currentDebt
- Most of the calculations must be in the Customer, Operator, and Bill classes and their methods.
- For the talking charge, the charge must be the number of minutes times the operator’s talking charge per minute. If the Customer’s age is below age 18 (18 is excluded) or higher than 65 (65 is excluded), then the operator applies a discount with the corresponding discount rate that is given.
- For messaging, the cost must be the quantity of the messages times the operator’s message cost per message. If the 2 customers are using the same operator, then the operator applies a discount with the corresponding discount rate that the operator has.
- For internet usage, calculations are straightforward, amount of MBs * the network cost per MB.
- Before the actions, you should check the limit of the bill, if someone would exceed the limit after the actions, then no actions must occur.
- We assume that every customer has enough money to pay their bill for the desired amount.
- The ID of the Customers, Operators, and Bills should start from 0.
- You can declare extra fields or extra methods. But the given ones in this document must exist in your program and their parameters and names must be the same as the ones that are given.
You’re going to read the input file line by line or token by token. The first 3 lines will be integers. In the first line, the number “C” represents the number of customers who will be in this project. The second line has the number “O” which tells you the number of Operators in the project. In the third line, the number “N” will represent the number of events that are going to be simulated.
Next N lines are going to be operations with the given rules:
1 - Creating a new Customer
2 - Creating a new Operator
3 - A customer can talk to another customer
4 - A customer can send a message to another customer
5 - A customer can connect to the internet
6 - A customer can pay his/her bills.
7 - A customer can change his/her operator
8 - A customer can change his/her Bill limit
Input 1: Creating a new Customer
This line contains a String name, an int age, an int ID as operator ID, double as the limiting amount.
1 <name> <age> <ID> <limitingAmount>
Note that, the ID of the customer should be in the order of creation. To illustrate, first created customer must have ID 0 and the location in the array of that customer should be on his/her ID. Also, there is no operation to create a bill object, therefore you need to create in the Customer class and store the bill object whenever you are going to create a customer.
Input 2: Creating a new Operator
This Input line is followed by 3 doubles and 1 integer respectively, double talkingCharge, messageCost, networkCharge, int discountRate
2 <talkingCharge> <messageCost> <networkCharge> <discountRate>
Creation of an Operator object. Again, the ID of the operator must be in the order of creation.
Input 3: A customer talks to another customer
This line is followed by 3 integers that represent respectively, the ID of the first customer, the ID of the second customer, time as an integer.
3 <1stCustomerID> <2ndCustomerID> <time>
Input 4: A customer sends a message to another customer
This line is followed by 3 integers that represent respectively, the ID of the first customer, the ID of the second customer, number of messages that Customer 1 has sent.
4 <1stCustomerID> <2ndCustomerID> <quantity>
Input 5: A customer connects to the internet
This line is followed by an integer and a double, the ID of the customer, and amount of the internet that the customer uses in MB.
5 <CustomerID> <amount>
Input 6: A customer pays his/her bills
This line is followed by an integer and a double, ID of the customer, and the amount of money that the customer wants to pay for his/her bill.
6 <CustomerID> <amount>
Input 7: A customer changes his/her operator
This line contains 2 integers as the CustomerID and the OperatorID.
7 <CustomerID> <OperatorID>
Input 8: A customer changes his/her Bill limit
This line contains 1 integer and 1 double for, the CustomerID, and the new limit.
8 <CustomerID> <amount>
You should calculate the following and print them out to the output file.
- For each operator, you should print out, the amount of time that they serviced for talking, number of messages sent via that operator, amount of internet usage in terms of MB that operator provided.
Operator <ID of the Operator> : <talking time> <num of messages> <MBs of usage>
- For each Customer, How much money that they spend for paying their bills and the current debt at the end of the simulation in their bills.
Customer <ID of the Customer> : <total money spent> <current debt>
- ID of the Customer that talks the most and the amount of time in terms of minutes. (if 2 Customers are equal, then print out the one that has a smaller ID)
<name of the Customer> : <talking time>
- ID of the Customer that sends messages the most and the number of messages. (if 2 Customers are equal, then print out the one that has a smaller ID)
<name of the Customer> : <number Of Messages>
- ID of the Customer that connects the internet the most and the amount in terms of MBs. (if 2 Customers are equal, then print out the one that has a smaller ID)
<name of the Customer> : <connection amount>
