Bookcase
There is a bookcase, it can hold a number of books. A bookcase can hold a maximum number of books. Books can be put into the bookcase and books can be removed from the bookcase. The bookcase knows at any time how many books are in the bookcase. A book has an ISBN number, a title, a number of pages, and is written by an author. An author has a name and a date of birth. Each author’s current age can be retrieved.
From the above case, create the classes, including attributes and methods. Make use of constructors, getters and setters (if necessary). Use and test your model, by creating some objects from the different classes. At least two bookcases should be created. You then fill these objects with representative data. By calling the methods, you can check if the result matches your expectations.
Build methods that allow you to perform the operations below, or answer the questions:
- Add a book to a bookcase, taking into account the maximum capacity.
- Remove a book from a bookcase.
- Identify the author who wrote a book.
- How many books are in a bookcase?
- What is the total number of pages (of all books) in a bookcase?
- Who is the oldest author in a bookcase?
- List the books that are in a bookcase and were written by a given author.
Tip:
- Use ArrayLists to store books in the bookcase.
Note that we have hidden all (other) private attributes. It is up to you to implement these correctly!
