ABOUT

CSC 220 is among CSC 340’s course prerequisites. CSC 210 and CSC 220 learn Java. Java is used in CSC 413 and other upper
division courses. A good foundation in Java usually helps us pick up C++ faster. For these reasons, we were supposed to have a
prerequisite exam to demonstrate our knowledge in Java programming.

Instead of a test, this assignment is our opportunity to review (and to learn) a number of important Java topics and get us
ready for C++. This assignment is to be done in Java, not C++.

PART A – OOP Class Design Guidelines, 10 points

Y. Daniel Liang’s 8 Class Design Guidelines: http://csc340.ducta.net/WEEK-02/JAVAtoCPP-ClassDesignGuidelines

Please choose 4 guidelines and discuss them in depth. For each guideline, use at least half a page for your discussion.

PART B – Java Programming, Data Design, and Data Structures, 45 points

We are hired to implement an interactive dictionary. Our dictionary takes input from users and uses the input as search
key to look up values associated with the key. Requirements:

– Coding: No hard coding, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_coding .
– Data Source: Store the original data in a set of enum objects. Each keyword, each part of speech, and each definition

must be stored in a separate data field. Do not combine them such as storing three parts in one String.
– Data Structure: Use existing data structure(s) or creating new data structure(s) to store our dictionary’s data.
– Data Loading: When our program starts, it loads all the original data from the enum objects into our dictionary’s data

structure.
– User Interface: A program interface allows users to input search keys and displays returned results. Our program searches

the dictionary’s data (not the enum objects) for values associated with the search keys.
– Identical Output: Our program’s output must be identical to the complete sample run’s output. The complete output is
