P1-DivisorCount (Masud)

Overview of project

• Author: Masud Mahdi
• Indices on this project:
  • Example Of-P1-Divisor Count (Winter '96)
  • Design Issue-Gen-Spec
  • Example Of-OOP-HIC (GUI)
• Complexity of this project: Low
• What you will have when you're done: The result of this project is a DivisorCount that spawns THREE windows: One master, one even counter slave, and one odd counter slave.
• Strategy for this problem: (Many thanks to Masud Mahdi for allowing us use of his design document and code for STABLE!)

  Masud's approach to the first programming assignment in 2390 W96 was to focus on the HIC as driving the interactions. Considering that most of the smarts in the DivisorCount problem (see Problem Statement) was inherited from the Count classes (from Coad and Nicola), this wasn't an unreasonable approach.

Steps in this project

• Review the problem statement
• Analyze the problem
• Determine the HIC design.
• Build the DivisorCount and SlaveViewContainer.
• Reflect on potential reuse of this project
