1. This question involves the management of student’s assignments that are represented by the
following Assignment class.

public class Assignment

{
/** Data fields. */
private String name;

private String course;

private int daysUntilDue;

private String description;

/** Constructs an Assignment object. */

public Assignment(String name, String course,
int daysUntilDue, String desc)
{ /* implementation not shown */ }

/** Returns the value of the name field. */

public String getName()
{ /* implementation not shown */ }

/** Returns the value of the course field. */

public String getCourse()
{ /* implementation not shown */ }

/** Returns the value of the daysUntilDue field. */

public int geDaysUntilDue()
{ /* implementation not shown */ }

/** Returns the value of the description field. */

public String getDescription()
{ /* implementation not shown */ }

You will implement two methods of the Agenda class.

public class Agenda

{

/** List of assignment objects, initialized by the constructor.*/

private ArrayList<Assignment> assignments;

/** Constructs an Agenda object. */

public Agenda()
{ /* implementation not shown */ }

/** Adds an assignment to the assignments list.

*/
public void addToAgenda(Assignment assignment)
{ /* to be implemented in part (a) */ }

/** Removes an assignment from the assignments list based on inputted name.
* Precondition: All assignments have a unique name – No duplicate names.
*/
public void removeAssignment(String name)
{ /* to be implemented in part (b) */ }

(a) Write the Agenda method addToAgenda. This method will add an Assignment
object to the assignments list, in order based on the daysUntilDue field value of
the Assignment.

NOTE: Assume the assignments list is already sorted by the daysUntilDue field
value.

For example, if the assignments list was initialized to the following:

{
Assignment(“SampleName1”, “APCS”, 6, “”),
Assignment(“SampleName2”, “APCS”, 8, “”),
Assignment(“SampleName3”, “APCS”, 9, “”),
}

If we run addToAgenda
(Assignment(“SampleName4”, “APCS”, 7, “”));

The list should change to the following:

{
Assignment(“SampleName1”, “APCS”, 6, “”),
Assignment(“SampleName4”, “APCS”, 7, “”),
Assignment(“SampleName2”, “APCS”, 8, “”),
Assignment(“SampleName3”, “APCS”, 9, “”),
}

If we then run addToAgenda

(Assignment(“SampleName5”, “APCS”, 8, “”));

The list should change to the following:

{
Assignment(“SampleName1”, “APCS”, 6, “”),
Assignment(“SampleName4”, “APCS”, 7, “”),
Assignment(“SampleName5”, “APCS”, 8, “”),
Assignment(“SampleName2”, “APCS”, 8, “”),
Assignment(“SampleName3”, “APCS”, 9, “”),
}

In the case where the daysUntilDue are equal, the new item will be added before the
already existing entries with that value.

(b) Write the Agenda method removeAssignment. This method will remove an
Assignment object from the assignments list that has the same name as the input
parameter.

For example, if the assignments list was initialized to the following:

{
Assignment(“SampleName1”, “APCS”, 6, “”),
Assignment(“SampleName2”, “APCS”, 8, “”),
Assignment(“SampleName3”, “APCS”, 9, “”),
}

If we run removeAssignment(“SampleName2”);

The list should change to the following:

{
Assignment(“SampleName1”, “APCS”, 6, “”),
Assignment(“SampleName3”, “APCS”, 9, “”),
}
