Program 2: KAU Air Booking System Objective Learn how to use classes and objects to create more powerful programs. Program Description This program is an extension of Program 1. The overall idea is the SAME. You will write a program to assign tickets/seats AND passengers for a commercial airplane. The airplane has 12 rows, with 7 seats in each row. Rows 1 and 2 are first class. Rows 3 to 7 are business class, and rows 8 to 12 are economy class. You must display the following menu to the user: ---------------------------------------------------- Welcome To KAU Air --- Seat Reservation System ---------------------------------------------------- 1. Book First Class Seats 2. Book Business Class Seats 3. Book Economy Class Seats 4. View Air Plane Seating Assignment 5. View Passenger List 6. System Status 7. Know Fair 8. System Reset 9. Exit From The Booking System Enter Your Choice: In this menu, there are two new options: View Passenger List (option 5) and System Status (option 6). All of the options, including these two new ones, will be discussed in detail starting on page 5. *** Difference between Program 1 and Program 2 *** For Program 2, each time you book a seat, that seat will have a specific ticket issued and a specific passenger will sit at that seat. Therefore, each booked seat will be represented by an object of type Ticket. Also, each ticket object will have a reference variable (psngr) that will point to (refer to) an object of type Passenger. You will need to use three *.java files, as follows: 1. Ticket.java : this file will have the Ticket class. You will make Ticket objects from the Ticket class. 2. Passenger.java : this file will have the Passenger class. You will make Passenger objects from the Passenger class. 3. KAUairBookingSystem.java : this file will contain main and all other auxiliary methods used or needed by your program.
For Program 1, you used a 2-d array of integers to represent the seats: 0 meant the seat was available, and 1 meant that the seat was taken (booked). Perhaps you declared your 2-d array as follows: int[][] x = new int[12][7]; Now, for Program 2, you will have a 2-d array of object references. Remember, in JAVA, we do not have a 2-d array of actual objects. Instead, we have a 2-d array of object references. Each cell of the array is a reference that refers to an object that you must create. ***For more information, see the notes on Chapter 8, Objects & Classes (pages 74 77). As an example, if you want your array variable to be called ticket, you can declare and create your array as follows: Ticket[][] ticket = new Ticket[12][7]; What does this line do? It creates a 12x7 (two dimensional) array of references. Note: each reference has a default value of null. Until now, we have NOT created any objects. Now, for example, you could create a new Ticket object and store the reference to that object at index [0][0], as follows: Ticket[0][0] = new Ticket(); So now, the reference at Ticket[0][0] does not store null. Instead, it stores an address to the new Ticket object we just created. The seat at index Ticket[0][0] is now booked. When you make a new Ticket object, new Ticket(), the constructor for the Ticket class is invoked to initialize the Ticket object. Here, inside the Ticket constructor, you will create a new Passenger object, and you will save the reference (address) of that object into the variable psngr. So now, the Ticket object is created and one of its data members is psngr, which is a variable pointing to a Passenger object. See the diagram below: Ticket Object int ticketnumber; // other variables Passenger psngr; Passenger Object String fname; String lname; int ID; ticket *the n stands for null n n n n n n
Description of the three Java Files (Classes) 1. Here is the UML diagram for the Ticket class (Ticket.java): There are 6 data members in this class. The first 4 data members are static (UML says package ). These variables are shared by ALL objects of the Ticket class. 1) numfirstclass is an int that stores the total number of First Class tickets 2) numbusinessclass is an int that stores the total number of Business Class tickets 3) numeconomyclass is an int that stores the total number of Economy Class tickets 4) ticketcounter is an int that represents the first ticket number assigned in the program. For example, the first seat assigned will get the ticket number KAU23730221. Then, ticketcounter is incremented. As a result, the next seat assigned will be given the ticket KAU23730222. 5) ticketnumber is an int that stores that actual ticket number for that specific Ticket object 6) psngr is a reference variable of type Passenger. This variable will store a reference to the Passenger object belonging to this ticket. The actual Passenger object will get created inside the constructor, Ticket(). This class has three methods: 1) Ticket() is the constructor. The constructor should do the following: It should save the current ticketcounter value into ticketnumber ticketnumber = ticketcounter++; See item 4 (above) for more information on what this line does. It should also create a new Passenger object as follows: psngr = new Passenger(); So now psngr stores a reference to the new Passenger object 2) getticketnumber() is the accessor method to get the ticketnumber 3) getpsngr() is the accessor method, which returns a reference to the Passenger object pointed to by this Ticket object.
2. Here is the UML diagram for the Passenger class (Passenger.java): This class has three private data fields, fname (first name), lname (last name), and ID This class has 7 methods 1) The first method is the constructor, Passenger(). This method should initialize fname and lname to unassigned This method should also initialize ID to -1. The other 6 methods are the standard accessor/mutator methods 3. The third java file should be called KAUairBookingSystem.java. KAUairBookingSystem.java This is your main program. This class file will have main and all of the other methods to run your program. The functionality of main will remain the same. You must display the menu, scan the user input (choice), and then perform appropriate methods. The following methods must be inside the KAUairBookingSystem.java file: 1. public static void showmenu() The menu gets printed/displayed on the screen. 2. public static void bookfirstclass(ticket[][] ticket, Scanner input, double ff) We send to this method three parameters: (1) a reference to the 2-d array of tickets, (2) a reference to the Scanner object, and (3) the cost of the first class fair (ff). You must first ask the customer how many seats they want, and then you will use the Scanner variable, input, to scan/save their input. The customer can requested more than one seat, and you must first make sure the seats are available. If the seats are available, you will create a new Ticket object for each seat requested. Once you create a new Ticket object, you must then scan the first name, last name, and ID of
the passenger and save them into the Passenger object. Finally, you will print a confirmation message. This message should print the first name, last name, ID, seat number, and ticket number for the passenger. (see sample output file). If the seats are not available, you should print an appropriate message (see sample output file). 3. public static void bookbusinessclass(ticket[][] ticket, Scanner input, double bf) We send to this method three parameters: (1) a reference to the 2-d array of tickets, (2) a reference to the Scanner object, and (3) the cost of the business class fair (bf). This methods works exactly like the previous methods, except that it works on Business Class. 4. public static void bookeconomyclass(ticket[][] ticket, Scanner input, double ef) We send to this method three parameters: (1) a reference to the 2-d array of tickets, (2) a reference to the Scanner object, and (3) the cost of the business class fair (bf). This methods works exactly like the previous methods, except that it works on Economy Class. 5. public static void displayseat(ticket[][] ticket) We send to this method the 2-d array of Ticket references. The method should display the current seating assignment (see sample output file). ***Hint: if (Ticket[i][j] == null), this means that no one is booked in that seat. If (Ticket[i][j]!= null), this means that the seat is booked and this index stores a reference to a specific Ticket object. 6. public static void passengerlist(ticket[][] ticket) We send to this method the 2-d array of Ticket references. The method should print out a list of all passengers booked on the flight (see sample output file). ***Hint: To do this, you must iterate over the 2-d array of references. If the reference does not equal null, this means that the seat is booked, and it means that a passenger is sitting there. So you must print out this passenger! However, from main, you do NOT have direct access to the fname, lname, and ID data fields of the Passenger object. From main, you only have access to the data fields of the Ticket objects. As such, you must invoke the getpassenger() method of the Ticket class. This method returns a reference to the Passenger object pointed to by this Ticket object. Of course, you must store this reference inside main. Here is an example of this: Passenger p1; p1 = ticket[i][j].getpsngr(); Now, from main, you have direct access to a specific Passenger object. As such, you can now use the mutator methods of the Passenger class (getfname, getlname, getid)to print the passenger data. 7. public static void statussystem(ticket[][] ticket, double ff, double bf, double ef) We send to this method four parameters: the 2-d array of Ticket references and the three prices for the cost of the fare. If at least one seat has been assigned, this method should display the total number of passengers booked in each class and the Total Fare paid for each class. If no seats are booked, an error message should be displayed (see sample output file).
8. public static void knowfair(double ff, double bf, double ef) This method simply prints out the fare (see sample output file). 9. public static void resetsystem(ticket[][] ticket) We send to this method the 2-d array of Ticket references. The method should reset the system. This means that all cells in the 2-d array should be reset to null. Note: before performing the reset, you must confirm with the user by asking them if they are sure they want to perform a system reset. If they answer y or Y, then you should reset the system and print an appropriate message (see sample output file). 10. public static void main(string[] args) Of course, you must have a main method to test your system. Output Format Your program should output in a similar format to the sample provided (see below). Sample and Output Files A sample run of the program will be provided on Moodle. Study this output carefully and make sure your program works similarly. Grading Details Your program will be graded upon the following criteria: 1) Adhering to the implementation specifications listed on this write-up. 2) Your algorithmic design. 3) Correctness. 4) Use of Classes and 2-d array of objects. If your program does not use objects, you will NOT get credit for the assignment. Period. 5) The frequency and utility of the comments in the code, as well as the use of white space for easy readability. (We're not kidding here. If your code is poorly commented and spaced and works perfectly, you could earn as low as 80-85% on it.) 6) Your program should include a header comment with the following information: your name, course number, section number, assignment title, and date. Deliverables You should submit three files: 1. Ticket.java 2. Passenger.java 3. KAUairBookingSystem.java NOTE: your name, ID, section number should be included as comments in all files!
