Assignment: Inheritance and Exceptions Binary, Octal, Decimal and Hexadecimal 60 Points A Desktop Calculator Emulator

This document describes an assignment to create a desktop calculator emulator that performs arithmetic operations on different numeric bases. It involves creating a base LongInteger class to represent decimal integers, with methods for addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and getting/setting the value. It then tasks the derivation of BinaryInteger, OctalInteger and HexInteger classes from LongInteger to handle the same operations on binary, octal and hexadecimal integers respectively using inheritance. An IntDriver class is also to be created to provide a menu interface for the user to select a numeric base, enter two numbers, select an operation, and display the result. Extra credit can be earned for handling negative numbers and converting between bases without inheritance. Proper use of inheritance is emphasized

Assignment: Inheritance and Exceptions


Binary, Octal, Decimal and Hexadecimal
60 points

A Desktop Calculator Emulator

Create a base class LongInteger that


represents a single long integer
value in decimal (base 10). The
class should have methods that
allow you to add, subtract, multiply,
and divide two LongInteger
objects. Each of these methods
should return a new LongInteger
object or modify an existing
LongInteger. There should also be
get and set methods to allow the
value of the integer to be changed.
Implement a toString() which
returns the string representation of
the integer in the appropriate base.

Derive a class from LongInteger called BinaryInteger, which is a binary version of LongInteger.
It should be able to do all the things LongInteger does (add, subtract, multiply, divide) by means
of inheritance. Of course, the toString method needs to return a binary number in string
format.

Derive a class from LongInteger called OctalInteger, which is a base 8 version of LongInteger.
As with BinaryInteger, OctalInteger should have add, subtract, multiply, divide methods
through inheritance. It should also have its own toString.

Derive a class from LongInteger called HexInteger, which is a hexadecimal (base 16) version of
LongInteger with the same attributes and methods as the others. It should also have its own
toString.

Create a class IntDriver which will contain a main method. The class should do the following:

1. Present the user with a display that allows them to select one of the above four modes.
The user is then supposed to enter a number of that type. If the number they enter is
not of the specified type, throw an exception to handle it. The type of exception you
throw is up to you, but you should include the type of number expected and the input
the user entered. This information should be printed to the screen (ex: BinaryInteger

expected, user entered 1010102). The user should then be re-prompted for an integer
of the chosen type.
2. Enter an operator (+, -, * or /)
3. Enter a second number.
4. Enter = to perform the calculation and display the result.

NOTE

If you properly utilize inheritance on this assignment, your derived classes will be quite small in
terms of the code they contain. Try to design your base class such that everything can be re-
used or built on in your derived classes.

To Turn In

Turn in all source code in a single zip file. Name your file as usual.
