Java Homework Help:

The book is Data Structures and Algorithms 6th Edition.

The Assignment deals with generics and has 1 interface named Bag, and classes named ArrayBag, LinkedBag, Player, SinglyLinkedList, and the main method class called Client.

Here are the instructions:

1. Develop a Generic interface named Bag that can store certain number of items (type will be specified by the client). Provide the following methods in the interface:

A method that returns the current count of items in the bag

A method that checks if the bag is empty

A method that checks if the bag is full

A method that adds an item to the bag and returns true if the item was added successfully or false if the item was not added.

A method that removes a random item from the bag as long as the bag is not empty. This method would return the removed item from the bag.

A method that removes a specific item from bag. This method will take as parameter the item to be removed, find the first occurrence of the item. Finally, the method returns true if the removal was successful, false otherwise.

A method that removes all the items from the bag

A method that returns the count of occurrences of a specific item in the bag.

A method that checks if an item exists in the bag.

A toString method that returns a String representation of the contents of the bag.

An equals method that returns true if the contents of the two bags are equal, false otherwise.

2.

Design a Generic class called ArrayBag that implements the Generic Bag Interface created earlier. This class will include a Type Parameter as part of class declaration. A client class using ArrayBag will specify the actual type.

Declare an instance variable list an array of Generic type: This structure will hold the items in the bag.

Declare another instance variable count: This will provide the count of items currently stored in the bag. This count will increment as a new item is added to the bag and decrement as an item is removed from the bag.

Provide a default constructor that will initialize the instance variable bag to a new array of length 50.

Provide an overloaded constructor that allows the client to specify the initial capacity of the bag.

Implement the methods received from the interface.

The method that adds an item to the bag should check if the bag is full. When the bag is full it should automatically double the capacity of the bag and add the item.

The method that removes a specific item which is passed as a parameter should use the equals( ) method to compare the contents of object in the bag with the contents of the parameter. If there is an object in the bag with the same contents then, it removes that item from the bag and returns true, and returns false if there is no item with the same contents.

The methods that remove items (randomly or specified item) should automatically allow the items to shift to replace the removed item.

Implement the following additional method

A method that returns an item at a specific index position in the bag.

3.

Design a Generic class called LinkedBag that implements the Generic Bag Interface created earlier. This class will include a Type Parameter as part of class declaration. A client class using LinkedBag will specify the actual type.

Declare an instance variable list a Singly Linked List of Generic type: This structure will hold the items in the bag.

Declare another instance variable count: This will provide the count of items currently stored in the bag. This count will increment as a new item is added to the bag and decrement as an item is removed from the bag.

Provide a default constructor that will initialize the instance variable bag with an empty Singly Linked list.

Implement the methods received from the interface.

The method that checks to see if the bag is full should always return false.

The method that removes a specific item which is passed as a parameter should use the equals( ) method to compare the contents of object in the bag with the contents of the parameter.

If there is an object in the bag with the same contents then, it removes that item from the bag and returns true,

If there is no item with the same contents it returns false.

Implement the following additional method

A method that returns an item at a specific index position in the bag.

4. Create a user-defined class called Player. Each Player object will have the following attributes (instance variables): name, position played, and jersey number. Use appropriate data types to define these instance variables and use recommended naming conventions for the variable names. Provide a constructor, implement the accessor and mutator methods for each of the instance variables, and include the toString( ) and equals( ) methods.

5.

Create a client class named Client with the main( ) method. Inside the main method do the following:

Create an object of ArrayBag called footballTeam to store all players information of NDSUs Mens football team using the overload constructor to make the initial length of the list array equal to 2.

Run a for loop to prompt the user for each Players information, create the Player object and finally add the player to the team. Enter information for at least 6 players.

Remove a random player from the team.

Add a new Player with some made up information.

Display the current count of players in the team.

Remove the Player that you just added earlier with made up information from the team using appropriate method.

Display the current count of players in the team.

To demonstrate that your generic class can support objects of different types:

Create an object of ArrayBag called courses to store the course ids of the courses that you are taking this semester (CSci 161, ..) as Strings.

Populate the bag with the course ids.

Remove a random course id from the Bag.

Use a for loop to print the course ids from the bag.

Create an object of LinkedBag called basketballTeam to store all the playerss information of NDSUs Womens basketball team.

Repeat steps 1 through 6 above for the basketballTeam that uses LinkedBag.

My main help needed is in the client class

Here's my code for the Bag Interface

/** * * @author Robert.Ryden * @version September 7, 2017 * Interface Bag that defines the methods for the array */

public interface Bag {

/** * method that returns a count of numbers in the bag * * @return */

public int getCurrentSize();

/** * checks if bag is empty, returns true when empty * * @return */

public boolean isEmpty();

/** * adds a new number num to the bag * * @param num * @return */

public boolean add(T num);

/** * checks if bag is full * @param num * @return */

public boolean isFull();

/** * removes the first occurrence of the number num from the bag * * @param num * @return */

public boolean removeI(T num);

/** * removes a randomly selected entry from the bag * * @return */

public T remove();

/** * removes all the numbers from the bag */

public void clear();

public int getFrequencyOf(T num);
