Mix Tape Calculator Project

Mix Tape Calculator

CSc 103 Programming Project

The goal of this project is to write a Java program for the console version of the Mix Tape Calculator application.

Objectives

The objectives of this assignment are

to convert a procedural application into an Object Oriented solution.
to learn to use ADT's effectively to build simple, flexible, maintainable, reusable software components.
to build an application that uses the List interface from the Collections framework.
to use unit testing effectively in constructing a moderately complex application.

Overview

In CSc 101 students implemented a procedural solution using the C language to the PlayList Calculator problem. The problem specification has been enhanced to include a Swing GUI. Your job is to convert the C implementation into Java and take advantage of Object Oriented principles to create a better quality design that contains the features required by the enhanced specification.

Software Design

The instructor has written the code for the Graphical "front end" part of the application. You are provided a JAR file containing the MixTapeGUI class and other components of the GUI. Your assignment is to write the "back end" components and a console user interface.

Here are the Javadoc for the instructor supplied components:
MixTapeApp
AbstractSongList
Natural

MixTapeGUI.jar contains the .class files for the instructor components in a JAR formatted file.

You must implement these modules:

Javadoc	Skeleton Code
Song TimeDuration MixTapeModel MixTapeConsole SongPool PlayList	`Song.java TimeDuration.java MixTapeModel.java MixTapeConsole.java SongPool.java PlayList.java`

Here is the C implementation of the original problem.
playlistCalculator.c

Testing

Your components will be tested with instructor reference tests. The reference tests are JUnit tests of your classes. MixTapeGUI is not used in testing.

You must include the following two data files with your submission as they will be used by the instructor's tests:
MilesDavis.m3u
consoledata1.txt

On this project your solution must conform to the class coding standard. Your unit tests must demonstrate "statement" coverage (they cause every statement in your program to be executed.)

Handing in Your Source Electronically

Submit a zip file containing your source code, unit tests, and data files to Web-CAT. You do not need to submit MixTapeGUI.jar.
When Web-CAT assigns a 100% score to your work, you should finalize your Time Log and submit it to the instructor at the next class meeting.
