Further Programming

Assignment - Introduction

You are required to implement a basic Java program using Java. This assignment is designed to:
Test your knowledge of basic Java concepts.
Evaluate your ability to design programming logic.
Practice simple object design in Java.

The Reading Room Book Shop
You are to implement a book purchasing system, called "The Reading Room". The system keeps a list of books that can be purchased (in physical and/or ebook form) as follows.

Each book has limited number of physical copies. You will track the number of available physical copies of each book. If the user tries to buy a (physical) book and there are no copies available, then the system outputs an error message.

Some (not all) books are available in ebook form. There is no limit of copies for ebooks. If the ebook exists for a book, then there is always a copy of the ebook available.

All physical books cost $50.00; all ebooks cost $8.00.

The user can request purchasing a book by specifying a keyword: the system lists all books that contain the keyword, along with the number of copies and ebook availability. The user chooses which form of the book they want: if the book is available then it gets added to the user's "shopping cart". Note that keyword matching is not case-sensitive here.

The user can view and update the shopping cart.

The user can print the full list of books and their availability.

Once the user is finished selecting books, the user can "checkout and pay"; the system prints the final total price and updates the number of copies of each book.

The user can quit the system (before or after paying).

Assumptions and Simplifications.
All prices as per Australian currency denominations.
Correct input can be assumed in this assignment. Error handling is not required.

Part A
Implement the above specifications without necessarily using object-oriented design at this stage. The key focus is to implement the correct algorithm logic. You can implement the system in one main program in a single class (Note: you may skip Part A and go straight to Part B with the use of OO. Part A is designed to let you focus on the basic functionalities.)

Following is a possible sample interaction with the bookstore system. You do not have to strictly follow the format but it illustrates required functionality. Text in bold and green is input from the user:

Part B

The aim of Part B is to incorporate basic object-oriented concepts into your program and test main functionality. In particular, define a Book class that contains all information related to a book title, including the title, author (this is new!), number of physical copies, and ebook availability. Using the OO solution, you should only use ONE data structure (e.g., a JCF data structure you prefer) of Book objects. This means you should not use different arrays to store book titles, book authors, etc. Note that within the whole program, you are permitted to use as many arrays as you prefer for other functionalities, e.g., another array for storing books in the shopping basket.
In Part B, the only change to the functionality is that when you print list of books, you list both title and author, as well as number of copies and ebook availability (see example output below).

NOTE1: it is OK to start using Object Oriented concepts from the start of the assignment if you prefer---
i.e. it is not a requirement to complete Part A before introducing OO.
