Description of class members

Some common decorators for class members

+ public # protected - private $ class member (static)

Properties:

All properties are public and auto-implemented.

Name this public property is a string representing the UIPAC name of this atom.

Symbol this public property is a two letter string representing the name of this atom that is used in chemistry.

Proton this public property is an int representing the number of protons in the nucleus of this atom. This is also known as the atomic number of this atom.

Neutron this public property is an int representing the number of neutrons in the nucleus of this atom.

Weight this public property is a double representing the atomic weight of this atom.

Constructor:

There are two constructors for this class:

public Atom() This is a default constructor that is necessary for serialization.

public Atom(string name, int proton, int neutron, double weight, string symbol) This constructor assigns the arguments to the appropriate properties.

Methods

You must throw an exception if the argument cannot be parsed to exactly five parts.

This may be implemented afterwards.

To generate an exception, edit the last lines that loads the atoms to:

elements.Add(Atom.Parse("Hassium 108 169 277 Hs Extra Tokens"));

public static Atom Parse(string line) This is a public class method that takes a string and returns an Atom object. The argument is one string that is comprised of the five fields of this object. It does the following:

It uses the Split() method to parse the argument into five parts.

If the argument does not yield five parts then throw an exception.

Otherwise create an Atom object and initialize the fields with the appropriate parts.

Return the above object

You will need to examine the arguments to decide what part will be assign to which field.

public override string ToString() This is a public method overrides the corresponding method in the object class to return a stringify form of the object. Try to keep the output on a single line.

Test Harness

Insert the following code statements in your Program.cs file:

//add the following statement in global scope

//To create a collection to work with

static List elements = new List();

Create a static method and insert the following code

//add the following statement to a class method

Create static methods that will do the following and then called them from your main

//Create class methods to do the following:

//1 - Display all the items in the collection elements

Reminder: To simplify access to the JsonSerializer class, you must install the System.Text.Json NuGet package

//2 - Serialize the first item using json format and save to a suitable file

//3 - Read the above file and display the item

//4 - Serialize the entire collection using json format and save to a suitable file

//5 - Read the above file and display all of the items
