Be able to select appropriate API facilities in the design, implementation and testing of OO applications and applets.

Objectives

The objective of this assessment is for you to demonstrate your ability to design and implement an OO system consisting of a set of Java classes and a client program. In particular:

1. To design and implement classes with suitable fields, constructors, accessor methods, and modifier methods.

2. To conform to the standard conventions of Java.

3. To implement classes that are associated by inheritance, delegation, composition and aggregation.

4. To write a client application that uses your classes to show that they function correctly.
