- Users: identified by unique user id (String)
- Groups: which are sets of users who are members of the group. The group is identified by a unique group id.
- Contacts: A list of other users who are in the contact list of a given user. - Posts: A string and / or an image which can be posted by the user.
Like in a social network, posts of users can be to a contact or a group. All posts to a group appear in the incoming messages list for all members of the group. All direct posts from a contact also appear as incoming messages. For this current assignment, the list of users, their contacts, and the list of groups is given as an input from a file (named social_network.txt) of the following format:
# users
<user_id1: contact_user1, contact_user2, …>
…
<user_idn: contact_user1, contact_user2, …>
#groups
<group_id1: member1, member2, …>
…
<group_idn: member1, member2, …>
