Mis 3330 project using intellij idea

Semester Project

Concept Summary:

1. Object Oriented programming concepts
2. Abstract classes
3. Polymorphism
4. Collections

Objective:

you will need to create three classes and a driver program. The first class, the parent, should be
an abstract class called Item. The other two classes, the children, should inherit from the parent
class and be called Book and Periodicals. Finally, create a test class called myCollection.

Item abstract class

Create an abstract class called Item. It must have:

● title – A private attribute of type string.
● A getter/setter for title
● A constructor that takes no arguments and sets title to empty string ● A constructor which

takes a title and sets the title attribute.
● getListing() is an abstract method that returns a string and is implemented in classes

Book and Periodicals.
● An override of toString/ToString which returns the title.

Book child class
Create a Book class which inherits from Item. It must have:

● isbn_number – A private attribute which holds an ISBN number (13 digits) to identify the
book

● author – A private attribute which holds the authors name (string) ● getters/setters for the
attributes in this class.

● A constructor which takes no arguments
● An overloaded constructor which sets all the attributes in the Book class as well as the

Item class.

● A concrete version of the getListing() method which should return a string that contains
the following:

Book Name – Title
Author – Author

ISBN # – ISBN number

Periodical child class
Create a Periodical class which inherits from Item. It must have:

● issueNum – A private attribute which holds the issue number (e.g. 103)
● getter/setter for issueNum
● A constructor which takes no arguments
● An overloaded constructor which sets all the attributes in the Periodical class as well as

the Item class.
● A concrete version of the getListing() method which should return a string that contains

the following:
Periodical Title – Title Issue
# – Issue number

myCollection Driver Program
Write the driver program which will prompt the user exactly 5 times to add Books and
Periodicals to an array (***BONUS POINTS FOR USAGE OF COLLECTION IN PLACE OF
ARRAYS***)

The array should be of type Item since it can hold either Books or Periodicals. This is
polymorphism!

Ask the user to “Please enter B for Book or P for Periodical”

If they choose Book, prompt for Title, Author and ISBN number. Store the results in the next
cell of the array.

If they choose Periodical, prompt for Title and IssueNumber. Store the result in the next cell
of the array.

Once the user has entered 5 items which could be any combination of Books and
Periodicals, show the user their collection.

See sample output below.
