Assignment Details:

You are to build a book review OOP system using the data in the given dataset described
below.

The Book-Crossing dataset comprises 3 files.

Books

1. Books are identified by their respective ISBN which are unique. Invalid ISBNs have
already been removed from the dataset. Moreover, some content-based information
is given (Book-Title, Book-Author, Year-Of- Publication, Publisher), obtained from
Amazon Web Services. Note that in case of several authors, only the first is provided.

Users

2. Contains the users. Note that user IDs (User-ID) have been anonymized and map to
unique serially incremented integers. Demographic data is provided (Location, Age) if
available. Otherwise, these fields contain NULL-values, empty.

Reviews

3. Contains the book rating information. Ratings (Book-Rating) are either explicit,
expressed on a scale from 1-10 (higher values denoting higher appreciation), or
implicit, expressed by 0. A user might have reviewed multiple books and a book might
have been reviewed by multiple users. Full processing of this file is required for each
book and each user that takes a very long time. Therefore, you will use the file
Reviews_small.csv instead.

Assignment Tasks:

1. Code the following classes:

Book
Attributes: Instance attributes representing:
isbn, bookTitle, bookAuthor, yearOfPublication, publisher, rating, and ratingCount

Methods:
• toString
• constructor: it also initializes rating and ratingCount to 0

Location
Attributes: instance attributes representing:
city, state, and country
Methods:
• toString
• constructor
User
Attributes: instance attributes representing:
userId, password, location, age, and the list reviewed

Methods:

• toString
• constructor: initializes the reviewed list to empty list. Calls the private method
setPassword that assigns the value of the first letter from the value of each attribute
of the location object followed by the integer value of the age or 0 if there is no value
of the age.
• setPassword

Bookdataset

Attributes: instance attributes representing the lists:

books, and users.

Methods:
• constructor: for the first time you run your program, it constructs the book objects
using the data in the Books.csv file and saves them in the books list as well as writes
them to book.dat file. In subsequent runs, it loads book list with the books objects
saved in the file book.dat. The same applies to the user objects.
• loadBooks: uses the data in the file Book.csv to create objects of Book and save it in
the list books.
• loadUsers: uses the data in the file User.csv to create objects of User and save it in the
list users.
• initRating: uses the data in the file Review_small.csv to calculate the average rating
and rating_count for each book in the list books and assigns it to the rating and
ratingCount attributes of that book.
• initReviewed: uses the data in the file Review_small.csv to find the books that have
been reviewed by each user in the list users and add them to the reviewed list attribute
of that user.
• loadObjs: reads the objects stored in book.dat and append them in the books list. It
also reads the objects stored in users.dat and append them to the users list.

users.dat the user objects of the books list.
• searchBooks: it returns the matching book objects from the books list for a given name
of a book’s attribute and its value.
• searchUsers: returns the matching user objects from the users list for a given name of
a user’s attribute and its value. Any one of the attributes: userId, age, city, or state, or
country of location.
• sortBooks: it sorts a books list using any one of the book’s attributes.

Attributes: private instance attributes representing:
username, password, and bookdataset which is an object of the Bookdataset class.

Methods:
• Proper constructor: is also calls showMenu method.
• showMenu: it display options for the user to:
• Search for a book using any combination of values of a book’s attributes and display
the matching books.
• Sort the displayed list of books using any one of the books attributes.
• Search for a user using any combination of values of a user’s attributes and returns the
matching user objects from the users list.
• main

What to submit

1. Submit your work on Blackboard (Due on May 24, 2023) NO EXTENSIONS.
