HW05: OOP MovieUI due Mon 19 Feb 10:00

Allowed and Disallowed Resources

• The Java Command Sheets handed out in class (and also available here: https://josephus.hsutx.edu/classes/all/commandsheets/).
• Examples and sample code found here: https://josephus.hsutx.edu/classes/p2/source/. NOTE: The same examples can be cloned from this repository: https://tsergeant@bitbucket.org/tsergeant/p2_examples.git
• A Java compiler with or without an IDE. The text editor you use can provide syntax highlighting, but must not generate code.
• Video instructions provided in Canvas as part of this course. You MAY NOT USE any other video resources.
• The course notes that accompany the video instructions which can be found here: https://josephus.hsutx.edu/classes/p2/coursenotes.php
• The official Java Documentation found here: https://docs.oracle.com/en/java/javase/21/
• Any handouts provided by the instructor as part of this course.
• Your own course notes
• Your instructor
• Discussions about the assignment with other students as long as you never look at the code produced by another student and you never receive instructions about solving the homework. That is, discussions need to be about concepts and understanding the technologies and not about how to solve the particular problem posed in this assignment.

You may NOT use/access:

• Resources not expressly listed above, including, but not limited to, the following ...
• Source code not provided as part of this assignment. (Obviously, this includes, but is not limited to, source code written by other students whether current or in the past).
• Code-generating tools (of which ChatGPT is one example).
• Any web sites not directly linked to from the homework assignment.

Failure to abide by these guidelines will result in a zero for the assignment and the incident will be reported to the university provost as a violation of the university academic integrity policy. A second incident of academic dishonesty (whether from this course or another computer science course) will result in an F in the course.

Instructions

In this assignment you will finish the conversion of the movie database program to an object-oriented design by implementing a MovieUI class that adheres to the UML diagram below:

The driver will contain main() and will be short. My driver code in main() looked like this:

MovieUI mui= new MovieUI("../data/movielist.txt");
mui.run();

It may be hard to visualize what some of the methods in MovieUI should look like so I'm pasting in my solution for the searchByYear() method:

/**
 * Search movies by number of years.
 */
public void searchByYear()
{
   int year;
   System.out.print("Enter year: "); // get year from user
   year= kb.nextInt();
   kb.nextLine();
   mc.searchByYear(year);   // pass year along to our container
}

When this assignment is finished the program should be functioning as it did in its original version. However, the code is organized quite differently.

Continue your pattern of focusing on a single method at a time: write it, debug it, document it, and then commit it. As always, when the program is complete make sure all work is committed and pushed to your bitbucket repository.

Grading

Your program should be completely working and should follow all of the programming conventions named in class and explained in https://josephus.hsutx.edu/classes/all/javaconventions/ (including the use of comments that conform to the JavaDoc guidelines).

The instructor will grade your work based on what you have pushed to the hosted homework repository you have shared. For all assignments the program is due before the beginning of class on the due date. Repositories that show a commit time after that time will be graded as late.
