Description
PART A – OOP Class Design Guidelines, 15 points
Y. Daniel Liang’s 8 Class Design Guidelines: http://csc340.ducta.net/WEEK-01/JAVAtoCPP-ClassDesignGuidelines.pdf
Please choose 5 guidelines and discuss them in-depth. For each guideline, use at least one page for your discussion. It is
OK to use code to help demonstrate your points. The code portion, if any, should not take up more than 1/3 of each
guideline’s discussion.
PART B – Java Programming, Data Structures, and Data Design, 85 points
We are hired to implement an interactive dictionary. Our dictionary takes input from users and uses the input as a search
key to look up values associated with the key. Requirements:
– Coding: No hard coding, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_coding. Please think about Dynamic and Scalable.
– Data Source: Store the original data in a set of enum objects. Each keyword, each part of speech, and each definition
must be stored in a separate data field. Do not combine them such as storing three parts in one String.
– Data Structure: Use existing data structures or creating new data structures to store our dictionary’s data.
– Data Loading: When our program starts, it loads all the original data from the Data Source into our dictionary’s data
structure. Data Loading must finish before our program starts interacting with users.
– User Interface: A program interface allows users to input search keys. This interface then displays returned results. Our
program searches the dictionary’s data (not the Data Source) for values associated with the search keys.
– Identical Output: Our program’s output must be identical to the complete sample run’s output.
The complete sample
output is posted at http://csc340.ducta.net/Assignments/Assignment-02-PartB-CompleteSampleOutput.pdf.

In at least 1 full page, please explain the following in detail:
▪ Your analysis of the provided information and the
provided complete sample output. Please think about
Clients and Sales.
▪ What problem you are solving. Please explain it
clearly then define it concisely. Please think about
