  6. When I develop object oriented software, I "create" _________(a) and then I ________(b) them thus creating a software _____________(c) (analagous to, but NOT, a "program").  They get ___________(d) when the software is executed; then they become _______________(e).    (Note that "develop object oriented software" means "from start to finish", i.e from conception to writing C++ or Java, etc. code.  This means that "implement", "compile",  or "code" do not fit in any of these blanks because they are implied when I said "develop object oriented software".)

  8. (Intro/Overview, S) (a) Draw the UML class diagrams with inter-class relationships for an "efficient" object oriented architecture of a "Polygon Analyzer" application that determines the area, perimeter, and location of triangles, squares, and rectangles from data input by a user.  Use, among others, 5 classes: (1) Triangle, (2) Square, and (3) Rectangle; (4) UserInterface which instantiates local variables testTriangle, testSquare, and  testRectangle and allows the user to give them various values, and (5)  Point2D which specifies the location of a point (which is used to designate each object's center).   (b) Expand this architecture by incorporating the MOST useful abstract class for this software architecture. (c) Write a skeleton code for the Java  implementation of this architecture; do NOT write the code for any of the methods (Replace this with comments.).
  9. (Intro/Overview, S)  (a) Given the following class architecture, draw the UML class diagram that documents the architecture.  Class G is a generalization of class  C. G has an procedural method mG1, and  C has a functional method mC1 whose return type is a class R; both methods can be used by any class. C has private attributes aC1 and aC2 both of which are of type A (a class).  I/O is accomplished via an class UI that contains a main method that instantiates class C. Be sure to include the directionality and multiplicities of all relationships.
