Programming Assignment
Getting Started: C++/Java
Due Date: October 3, 2007
Instructor: A. Bellaachia
In this project, we would like to create a system that keeps information about a collection of
individuals. The collection might represent registered voters in a given region. The input
information for each individual is:
ID, Name, gender, father’s name or ID, mother’s name or ID, DOB.
We assume the following:
• There is no duplicate,
• All sibling have the same parents,
• All parents are married
Our objective in this project is to answer the relationships that exist among individuals.
Examples of possible questions are:
• How many children does John have?
• Who are the uncles of John?
• Who is the sibling of Suzan?
• Is Mary a mother, grandmother of both John and Suzan?
You are required to outline your solution in the report. Your solution should use linked list
data structures.
The system should be interactive and give the following information:
• Help: Print on the screen a summary of available commands
• Info: Information about each individual.
• Add: Insert a new individual if it is not already in the system and update
all related information.
• Update: Update information of a specific individual.
• Retrieve: Answer the above questions about the relationships between
individuals.
• Quit: Quit the application.
1. Develop your system using Java (Make sure you include a test driver for your
application)
2. Develop your system using C++ (Make sure you include a test driver for your application)
Notes:
- Make sure you include constructors in your classes.
- Also make
accessors and mutators
methods to get the properties of an object.
- Make Your own assumptions and state them in your report.
