A program stores data about avatars in a program using Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). An avatar is a character that a user can control in a game. The class Avatar stores the data about avatars. Avatar TheName : String Glasses : Boolean Hair : String Age : Integer stores the name of the avatar stores TRUE if the avatar wears glasses stores FALSE if the avatar does not wear glasses stores the colour of the avatar's hair stores the age of the avatar Constructor() GetName() GetAge() MeetCriteria() initialises all attributes to its parameter values returns the name of the avatar returns the age of the avatar takes the glasses choice and hair choice as parameters and returns whether the avatar matches the choices
Write program code to declare the class Avatar and its constructor. All attributes must be private. Do not declare the other methods. Use your programming language appropriate constructor. If you are writing in Python, include attribute declarations using comments. Save your program as Question2_J26. Copy and paste the program code into 2(a)(i) in the evidence document.
The get methods GetName() and GetAge() each return the relevant attribute. Write program code for GetName() and GetAge() Save your program. Copy and paste the program code into 2(a)(ii) in the evidence document.
The method MeetCriteria() takes two parameters: • a Boolean value to identify whether the avatar wears glasses • a string value to identify the hair colour. The method checks whether this avatar's attributes match both of the parameters. Boolean TRUE is returned when both of the attributes match the parameters, otherwise Boolean FALSE is returned. Write program code for MeetCriteria() Save your program. Copy and paste the program code into 2(a)(iii) in the evidence document.
The text file AvatarFile.txt stores data for 30 avatars. Each avatar is on a new line in the file. The data is stored in the order: name, glasses, hair colour, age. Each value is separated by a space. For example, the first line in the file is: Kit True blonde 21 The name of the avatar is Kit, the avatar wears glasses, the avatar has blonde hair, the avatar is 21 years old. The procedure LoadAvatars() reads the data from the text file into the program. The function creates a new object for each avatar in the file and stores the avatar objects in a global array with the identifier AvailableAvatars The procedure uses exception handling when opening and reading from the file. Write program code for LoadAvatars() Save your program. Copy and paste the program code into 2(b)(i) in the evidence document.
Write program code for the main program to call LoadAvatars() Save your program. Copy and paste the program code into 2(b)(ii) in the evidence document.
The procedure EnterChoices() prompts the user to enter whether they want an avatar that wears glasses and the hair colour they want. The procedure takes these two values as input until they are valid: • wearing glasses can only be yes or no • the hair colour can be black, blonde, brown, pink, red or green. The procedure calls the method MeetCriteria() for each avatar in AvailableAvatars and stores the avatars that match the criteria in a global array. Write program code for EnterChoices() Save your program. Copy and paste the program code into 2(c)(i) in the evidence document.
Write program code to extend the main program to: • call EnterChoices() • output the quantity of avatars that match the criteria • output the name and age of each avatar that matches the criteria. All outputs must include an appropriate message. Save your program. Copy and paste the program code into 2(c)(ii) in the evidence document.
Test your program with the following data as input: Glasses choice: yes Hair colour first input: blue Hair colour second input: black Take a screenshot of the output(s). Save your program. Copy and paste the screenshot into 2(d)(i) in the evidence document.
Test your program with the following data as input: Glasses choice: no Hair colour: green Take a screenshot of the output(s). Save your program. Copy and paste the screenshot into 2(d)(ii) in the evidence document.
A 2D array is used to store the linked list, LinkedList. The linked list stores a maximum of eight data items. Each data item is an integer. The array elements not currently used in the linked list are stored as the empty list. LinkedList has two pointers: • StartLinkedList stores a pointer to the first node in the linked list • StartEmptyList stores a pointer to the first node in the empty list. A data value of -1 indicates there is no data in the node. A pointer of -1 indicates it is the end of the linked list, or the end of the empty list. The linked list and pointers all have global scope. The linked list already has the following data stored: array index | data | pointer 0 | 9512 | 5 1 | 5541 | 3 2 | 1999 | 0 3 | 6651 | -1 4 | -1 | 6 5 | 5612 | 1 6 | -1 | -1 7 | -1 | 4 StartLinkedList currently stores 2 StartEmptyList currently stores 7
Write program code to declare and initialise the linked list and the pointers. Save your program as Question3_J26. Copy and paste the program code into 3(a) in the evidence document.
The procedure PrintListItems() outputs the data in each node of the linked list. The procedure starts with the first node in the linked list and follows the pointers until it has reached the end of the linked list. Write program code for PrintListItems() Save your program. Copy and paste the program code into 3(b)(i) in the evidence document.
The procedure PrintEmptyList() outputs the index of each node in the empty list. The procedure starts with the first node in the empty list and follows the pointers until it has output the index of each node in the empty list. Write program code for PrintEmptyList() Save your program. Copy and paste the program code into 3(b)(ii) in the evidence document.
Write program code to extend the main program to: • output "Linked list" and then call PrintListItems() • output "Empty list" and then call PrintEmptyList() Save your program. Copy and paste the program code into 3(b)(iii) in the evidence document.
Test your program. Take a screenshot of the output(s). Save your program. Copy and paste the screenshot into 3(b)(iv) in the evidence document.
New nodes are inserted at the end of the linked list. The procedure AddItem() takes an integer parameter, inserts the parameter in the space identified by StartEmptyList and updates the appropriate pointer(s). If there is no space in the linked list, the procedure outputs "List is full" Write program code for AddItem() Save your program. Copy and paste the program code into 3(c)(i) in the evidence document.
Write program code to extend the main program to: • use AddItem() to insert a new node into the linked list with the data 8451 • output the new contents of the linked list using PrintListItems() with a suitable heading • output the new contents of the empty list using PrintEmptyList() with a suitable heading. Save your program. Copy and paste the program code into 3(c)(ii) in the evidence document.
