SeatingChart Java OOP Project – 2D Arrays

Let’s write a program for something like PowerSchool that helps organize a seating chart for students.  There is a tester file at the page’s bottom.

First class : Student  , from https://mrmonline.org/student-class/

Class SeatingChart

This class mainly manages a 2-d  array of student objects. Note: an empty seat in the chart will be designated by a null value.

Constructor(s)

  • public SeatingChart(int per, String teacher, String _rosterName) Initializes parameters to respective arguments and creates a 2-d array  of null objects with default dimensions DEFAULT_ROWS , DEFAULT_COLS
  • public SeatingChart(int per, String teacher, String _rosterName, Student[][] table)

Methods:

public String getTeacherName() // returns teacherName

public String getRosterrName() // returns  rosterName

public int getPeriod()  // returns period

public int countEmptySeats() ; //returns the number of empty seats. As noted earlier, an empty seat is represented by a null value in the 2-d array of student s

Student[][] getStudentChart()  @returns chart

public int[] indexOf(Student stu);  returns a 2 element array representing the row and column position of stu in chart ; [-1 , -1] should be returned if stu is not in chart

public boolean setSeat(int row, int col, Student stu) -  places Student Stu  at that row and column .  This can only be done if there is no student in that location. If a student already inhabits that row and column then the method should return false and not make any changes to chart .

public void swap(Student s1, Student s2) // this swaps the locations of s1 and s2

public Student getStudent(int row, int col) returns the student at the given row and col ; or null if the seat is empty

public void removeStudentAt(int row, int col)   sets value of object at  row  and  col  to  null 

public boolean equals(SeatingChart other) // returns true if all aspects of  other are equivalent to self.

public void colMajorForm() . This prints out the student chart in column major form.   Examine the diagram below showing an example seating chart on the left and the printed output on the right.seating chart col major

public String toString(); //follow the conventions we have been using. When you print out the chart , let’s show "E!" t o indicate an empty seat; for seats with students, just display their name.SeatingChart to string v2

public Student oldest() // returns the student object with the greatest age

Extra credit

public void randomize() // this randomizes the chart. Please be prepared to meet with me to discuss your code. (You cannot use a library to do all the work, if such a library even exists)
