Project 2 : Incoming Flights Display Simulation - Advanced

Expand upon, enhance, and reorganize the program written for Project One to incorporate the following features and programming techniques:

• Use Object-Oriented-Programming
  • Specifically, at the very least, you are required to create one class definition for the data corresponding to each flight, possibly called Flight (convert the struct into a class) and one class definition for the data structure, possibly called FlightList (encapsulating the data storage and the functions to manipulate the data structure). You may use more class definitions if you wish to do so.
  • As far as possible, use private data variables in your classes and access them through appropriate public accessor functions. Make the accessor functions inline so as to improve speed of execution.

• Use Separate Compilation.
  • Specifically, each class should be split into a header and a CPP file, with the declaration in the header file and the definitions in the CPP file.
  • Use conditional directives to avoid multiple inclusions of the same files.

• Use a Linked List as the data structure to store the list of flights.
  • As far as possible, use a Singly Linked List (no Prev pointers)
  • Include an appropriate constructor and destructor to initialize and destroy the data structure.
  • Include functions to manipulate the data structure in order to Add, Delay and Remove flights.

• Your program must be able to read in and process an initial file, whose name is supplied on the command-line, before presenting the regular interactive interface to thse user. If no filename is specified, the program must start with an empty list as before.

The program must still satisfy all the requirements of the previous project, with the notable exception that there should no longer be a restriction of 100 flights (since we are now using a linked list as opposed to a static array). However, the program is still to display only the earliest 5 flights.

The user interface must be identical to before. Only the internal organization of the program and the data must change.

Submission

• Submit a .zip file (created by WinZip or PKZip) containing all your source files, header files, test data, and workspace files. It must be possible for us to recompile your project based on the files you submit - please test this before submission. Do not submit .exe, .obj or any intermediate files like precompiled headers. Your projects must be submitted through the JAVA online submission system or Non-JAVA submission system.
• Make a printout of your source code and some relevant screen dumps and submit these in paper form.
• There will be no demonstration for the project.
