Runner's training log
• Develop a program that manages a runner's training
log. Every day the runner enters one entry
concerning the day's run. Each entry includes the
day's date, the distance of the day's run, the
duration of the run, and a comment describing the
runner's post-run feeling.
• Examples:
– on June 5, 2003: 5.3 miles in 27 minutes, feeling good;
– on June 6, 2003: 2.8 miles in 24 minutes, feeling tired
– on June 23, 2003: 26.2 miles in 150 minutes, feeling
exhausted;

Computes the pace for a daily entry
• For each entry, the program should compute how
fast the runner ran in minutes per mile.
... Develop a method that computes the pace for a
daily entry.

- Date date
- int day
- double distance
- int month

Design pace() method
Purpose and contract (method signature)
// computes the pace for a daily entry
public double pace() {
}

• Examples
– new Entry(new Date(5, 6, 2004), 5.3, 27,
"good").pace() should produce 5.094
– new Entry(new Date(6, 6, 2004), 2.8, 24,
"tired").pace() should produce 8.571
– new Entry(new Date(23, 6, 2004), 26.2, 159,
"exhausted").pace() should produce 6.069
11
Design pace() method (con't)
Template
// computes the pace for a daily entry
public double pace() {
...this.date...
...this.duration...
...this.distance...
...this.comment...
}

Implement
public double pace() {
return this.duration / this.distance;
}

Design pace() method (con't)
• Unit testing

public void testPace() {

Entry entry1 = new Entry(new Date(5, 6, 2004), 5.3, 27, "good");
assertEquals(entry1.pace(), 5.094, 0.001);

Entry entry2 = new Entry(new Date(6, 6, 2004), 2.8, 24, "tired");

assertEquals(entry2.pace(), 8.571, 0.001);

Entry entry3 = new Entry(new Date(23, 6, 2004), 26.2, 159, "exhausted");

assertEquals(entry3.pace(), 6.069, 0.001);
}

13
Compare Date: early than
• A runner's log refers to Dates and a natural question
concerning comparing dates is when one occurs earlier
than another one.
Develop a method that determines whether one date
occurs earlier than another date.
• Hint:
– The first possibility is that the first date is in the year preceding
the other.
– Next, if the years are the same, the month in the first date is
before the month in the second date.
– Finally, if both the year and the month values are the same, the
date in the first date is before the day in the second date.

14
Delegation
• Q: Which class (Entry or Date) should we put
ealierThan() method in ?
• A: The ealierThan() method deals with properties of
the Date so that we delegate this computational task to
the corresponding methods in Date class

Design earlierThan() method
• Purpose and contract (method signature)
// is this date early than the other date
public boolean earlierThan(Date that)

• Examples
– new Date(30, 6, 2003).earlierThan(new Date(1,
1, 2004)) should produce true
– new Date(1, 1, 2004).earlierThan(new Date(1,
12, 2003)) should produce false
– new Date(15, 12, 2004).earlierThan(new Date(31,
12, 2004)) should produce true

16
Design earlyThan() method (con't)
Template // is this date early than the other date
public boolean earlyThan(Date that) {
...this.day...this.month...this.year...
...that.day...that.month...that.year...
}

public boolean earlierThan(Date that) {

Implement if (this.year < that.year) return true;
if (this.year > that.year) return false;
if (this.month < that.month) return true;
if (this.month > that.month) return false;
if (this.day < that.day) return true;

Restaurant example
• Develop a program that helps a visitor navigate
Manhattan's restaurant scene.
The program must be able to provide four pieces of
information for each restaurant: its name,
the kind of food it serves, its price range,
and the closest intersection avenue
(street and avenue).
• Examples:
– La Crepe, a French restaurant, on 7th Ave and 65th Street,
moderate;
– Bremen Haus, a German restaurant on 2nd Ave and 86th Street,
moderate;
– Moon Palace, a Chinese restaurant on 10th Ave and 113th Street,
inexpensive;

Q: Which class (Restaurant or Intersection) should
we put closeTo() method in ?

Intersection so that we delegate this computational task
to the corresponding methods in Intersection class

Intersection class

Problem Statement

Exercise 3.1
Develop a "real estate assistant'' program. The "assistant'' helps
the real estate agent locate houses of interest for clients. The
information about a house includes its kind, the number of
rooms, the asking price, and its address. An address consists of
a house number, a street name, and a city.
• Represent the following examples using your classes:
– Ranch, 7 rooms, $375,000, 23 Maple Street, Brookline
– Colonial, 9 rooms, $450,000, 5 Joye Road, Newton
– Cape, 6 rooms, $235,000, 83 Winslow Road, Waltham
• Note:
– Ranch: A ranch is a large farm used for raising animals, especially
cattle, horses or sheep.
– Colonial: A colonial building or piece of furniture was built or made
in a style that was popular in American in the 17th and 18th
centuries.
– Cape: A cape is a large piece of land that sticks out into the sea
from the coast.
70
Exercise 3.1
Develop the following methods for the class House:
1. hasMoreRooms, which determines whether one
house has more rooms than some other house;
2. inThisCity, which checks whether the advertised
house is in some given city (assume we give the
method a city name);
3. sameCity, which determines whether one house is
in the same city as some other house.

71
Exercise 3.2
. . . Develop a program that assists bookstore employees.
For each book, the program should track the book’s title, its
price, its year of publication, and the author. A author has a
name and birth year.
• Develop the following methods for this class:
– currentBook that checks whether the book was published in
2004 or 2003;
– currentAuthor that determines whether a book was written by
a current author (born after 1940);
– thisAuthor that determines whether a book was written by the
specified author;
– sameAuthor that determines whether one book was written by
the same author as some other book;
– sameGeneration that determines whether two books were
written by two authors born less than 10 year apart.

• Provides the data
definition for a weather
recording program. TemperatureRange
Date -int low
-int high
-int day
-int month

• Develop the following methods:

– withinRange, which determines whether today's high and
low were within the normal range;
– rainyDay, which determines whether the precipitation is
higher than some given value;
– recordDay, which determines whether the temperature
broke either the high or the low record.

Exercises 3.4 (Lab hours)
• Develop a program that can assist railway travelers with the
arrangement of train trips.
• The available information about a specific train includes its
schedule, its route, and whether it is local.
• The route information consists of the origin and the
destination station.
• A schedule specifies the departure and the arrival (clock)
times when the train leaves and when it arrives.
• ClockTime consists of the hour (of the day) and the minutes
(of the hour).
• The customer want to know:
– Does his destination station match the destination of the train trip?
– What time does the train start ?
– How long does the train trip take?
