Complexity of this project: Low
What you will have when you're done: The result of this project is a Multiple_Count that can increment, decrement, and reset itself, and add/subtract another Multiple_Count to/from it. As a part of this project, an Integer_Count_With_Base class is created to help form the series of individual digits which make up a Multiple_Count.
Strategy for this problem: This problem is being solved by reusing Coad & Nicola's IntegerCount code (C++ version), and developing Integer_Count_With_Base (a subclass of IntegerCount) and Multiple_Count. "Dynamic Arrays" (of Integer_Count_With_Bases') are used in Multiple_Count to allow for the number of digits in an instance of Multiple_Count to be specified at run-time. Quote from Tom: "I heard you to say in class that our special integer counts (which I call Integer_Count_With_Base) should handle from base 2 to 37, i.e. 0-9 A-Z. My case makes reference to this range of the base when appropriate (such as in the problem statement)."
