Java-OOP Homework 03 - Inventory Manager Solution

Problem Description
You have decided you want to create an Inventory management system, which can keep track of items, their weights, and their prices.
Solution Description
We have provided you with the skeletons of three classes: Item, Inventory and InventoryManager. Your task is to fill them in so that they meet the following requirements:
Item
• You will create two instance fields in Item:
– A double field named “weight”. – A double field named “price”.
• In addition, you will fill in the first constructor. Just fill in the TODO lines provided.
Inventory
• You will create an Item[] field in Inventory called contents.
• You will write the merge method. This works as follows:
– You are given another inventory. You can access its contents with other.contents.
– You need to first figure out how big the merged array should be. You must add together the lengths of contents and other.contents.
– You need to create a new Item[] whose size is the sum we computed above.
– You need to copy all of contents into that Item[] created above.
– You need to copy all of other.contents into that Item[] created above.
• You need to write the getItem method. This works as follows:
– First, check if the given index is valid. (Think about when an array index is valid versus invalid.) If it is invalid, return null.
– Otherwise, if it is valid, return the value in contents at the given index.
• You need to write the putItem method. This works as follows:
– First, check if the given index is valid. (Think about when an array index is valid versus invalid.) If it is invalid, return false.
– Otherwise, if it is valid, set the value in contents at the given index to item and return true.
• You need to write the getContentsLength method, which just returns the length of contents.
InventoryManager
• You will fill in a mergeInventories method, which just takes in two Inventorys and merges them using the methods you wrote above.
• You will fill in a addItem method, which just takes in an Inventory to put the item into, an Item, to put in the Inventory, and an index for where in the Inventory to put the Item. If it doesn’t work, print "Can't add there.".
• You will fill in a printItem method, which takes in an Item and prints (name, price, weight), where name, price and weight are filled in with the proper values from Item. price and weight should be printed to two decimal points. If the Item is null, print (empty, 0, 0). Do not print a new-line after this.
• You will fill in a showInventory method. If the Inventory is null, or if getContentsLength returns a value less than or equal to zero, just print (). Otherwise, print a comma separated list of the Items in the Inventory’s contents array. An example is given below:
(A, 0.0, 0.0), (B, 1.0, 0.0), (empty, 0, 0), (empty, 0, 0), ...
Your formatting (spaces, no extra commas, etc.) must match this exactly. Print a new-line after your list or after the “()”.
Allowed Imports
To prevent trivialization of the assignment, you are only allowed to import the following classes:
• java.util.Scanner
• java.util.Random
If you would like to import anything else, ask on Piazza. Based on what we have seen in the past, we’ll go ahead and say you cannot import the following classes:
• java.util.Arrays
• java.util.ArrayList
– Or any List
Feature Restrictions
There are a few features and methods in Java that overly simplify the concepts we are trying to teach. For that reason, do not use any of the following in your final submission:
• var (the reserved keyword)
• System.arraycopy
Rubric
Make any specific notes about the rubric here.
All possible partial credit should be clear in the rubric as a nested bullet. Each bullet (or nested bullet) should correspond to an autograder test or something that TAs have to check manually. Be sure to follow the exact spacing (empty lines and 4 spaces before nested bullet points).
[20] Item
• [10] Created weight and price
– [5] per-field
• [10] Correct random assignment of price and weight
– [5] per-field
[40] Inventory
• [5] contents field
– [2.5] contents named correctly
– [2.5] contents has correct initial capacity
• [15] merge method
– [15] merge functions properly
• [5] getItem method
– [5] getItem functions properly
• [10] putItem method
– [5] putItem functions properly on its own
– [5] putItem functions with merge as well
• [5] getContentsLength method
– [5] getContentsLength functions properly
[40] InventoryManager
• [5] mergeInventories method
– [5] merges i2 into i1
• [5] addItem method
– [2.5] adds correctly in normal case
– [2.5] prints correct error if adding fails
• [15] printItem method
– [5] prints null item correctly
– [10] prints non-null items correctly
• [15] printInventory method
– [5] prints empty inventory correctly
– [10] prints non-empty inventory correctly
Checkstyle
You must run checkstyle on your submission. The checkstyle cap for this assignment is 10 points. Review the style guide and download the checkstyle jar. Run checkstyle on your code like so:
$ java -jar checkstyle-6.2.2.jar *.java Audit done. Errors (potential points off): 0
The message above means there were no Checkstyle errors. If you had any errors, they would show up above this message, and the number at the end would be the points we would take off (limited by the checkstyle cap mentioned above). The Java source files we provide contain no Checkstyle errors. In future homeworks we will be increasing this cap, so get into the habit of fixing these style errors early!
Depending on your editor, you might be able to change some settings to make it easier to write style-compliant code. See the customization tips page for more information.
Collaboration
Collaboration Statement
I worked on the homework assignment alone, using only course materials.
or
In order to help learn course concepts, I worked on the homework with [give the names of the people you worked with], discussed homework topics and issues with [provide names of people], and/or consulted related material that can be found at [cite any other materials not provided as course materials for CS 1331 that assisted your learning].
Allowed Collaboration
• What general strategies or algorithms you used to solve problems in the homeworks
• Parts of the homework you are unsure of and need more explanation
• Online resources that helped you find a solution
• Key course concepts and Java language features used in your solution
Examples of approved/disapproved collaboration:
• approved: “Hey, I’m really confused on how we are supposed to implement this part of the homework. What strategies/resources did you use to solve it?”
Turn-In Procedure
Submission
To submit, upload the files listed below to the corresponding assignment on Gradescope:
• Item.java
• Inventory.java
• InventoryManager.java
Make sure you see the message stating “HW03 submitted successfully”. From this point, Gradescope will run a basic autograder on your submission as discussed in the next section.
Gradescope Autograder
For each submission, you will be able to see the results of a few basic test cases on your code. Each test typically corresponds to a rubric item, and the score returned represents the performance of your code on those rubric items only. If you fail a test, you can look at the output to determine what went wrong and resubmit once you have fixed the issue.
The Gradescope tests serve two main purposes:
1) Prevent upload mistakes (e.g. forgetting checkstyle, non-compiling code)
2) Provide basic formatting and usage validation
In other words, the test cases on Gradescope are by no means comprehensive. Be sure to thoroughly test your code by considering edge cases and writing your own test files. You also should avoid using Gradescope to compile, run, or checkstyle your code; you can do that locally on your machine.
Some of your files will depend on other files in your submission. If one file breaks and also causes another to break, you’ll lose points in both files. The public tests will help ensure you don’t have these dependency issues, but it is ultimately up to you to ensure it functions correctly.
Important Notes (Don’t Skip)
• Non-compiling files will receive a 0 for all associated rubric items
• Test your code in addition to the basic checks on Gradescope
• Submit every file each time you resubmit
• Ensure you pass all “FORMAT:” tests
• Read the “Allowed Imports” and “Restricted Features” to avoid losing points
• Check on Piazza for a note containing all official clarifications
