CLO4 - Implement a small module utilizing object oriented design.
You are tasked with developing a School Management System using object-oriented principles.
The system should manage details about a school, its teachers, students, and classes. A School has
a name, an address, and a list of classes. The school is also associated with a Principal who is a
person with a name, age, and experience in years. The relationship between the school and the
principal is one of composition — the school cannot exist without a principal. If the school is
deleted, the principal object should also be deleted.
Each ClassRoom in the school has a class name (e.g., "Grade 10"), a class code (e.g., "G10"), and
a teacher. A classroom can have multiple students, but for this assignment, you are required to
limit the number of students to a maximum of five. You are expected to use a simple array for
storing student objects. The relationship between the school and the classroom is also one of
composition — if the school is deleted, all associated classrooms should also be deleted.
A Teacher is a person with a name, age, and the subject they teach. A teacher can only be assigned
to a single classroom at a time. The relationship between a teacher and a classroom is an example
of aggregation — a teacher can exist independently of a classroom, and deleting a classroom does
not delete the teacher object. Similarly, a Student is a person with a name, age, and a roll number.
A student can be enrolled in a single class at a time. The relationship between a student and a
classroom is also an example of aggregation — a student can exist without being enrolled in a
class, and deleting a classroom does not delete the student object.
To model this system effectively, you are required to create a Person class that will act as a parent
class for the Teacher, Student, and Principal classes. The toString() method should be
overridden in each child class to display class-specific details in a formatted way. You should also
implement the equals() method in the Student and Teacher classes. The equals() method in
the Student class should compare two student objects based on their roll number, whereas the
equals() method in the Teacher class should compare two teacher objects based on their teacher
ID.
This assignment will test your ability to design and implement an object-oriented solution using
inheritance, composition, aggregation, and method overriding. You are expected to define
meaningful constructors and methods, handle logical cases like class limits, and ensure that the
output is cleanly formatted.
Step 1: Create a UML Class Diagram
Before starting the coding task, you are required to first design a UML class diagram on paper. The
diagram should reflect the relationships between the classes (inheritance, composition, and
aggregation) and define the attributes and methods for each class. Make sure that the relationships are
clearly labeled. The class diagram should be neatly drawn and properly formatted. Submit a scanned copy
or a clear photograph of the completed UML class diagram along with your code submission.
Step 2: Implement the Classes
Once the UML diagram is complete and approved by the instructor, proceed with the implementation of
the system. Define meaningful constructors and methods for each class. Make sure that the constructors
properly initialize the objects and that the toString() and equals() methods are correctly overridden.
Ensure that the relationships between the objects are implemented as described in the scenario.
Step 3: Write Code to Perform the Following Tasks
1. Create a School object with a Principal and at least two classes.
2. Create a Teacher object and assign them to a class.
3. Enroll up to five Student objects in each class.
4. Prevent enrolling a student into a class if the class is already full — display an appropriate message
if the student cannot be added.
5. Display the details of the school, including the principal, class, teacher, and student details in a
structured format using the toString() method.
6. Demonstrate the use of the equals() method by comparing two student objects and two teacher
objects.
7. Make sure that objects are connected logically — a student should reference their class, and a
teacher should reference the class they are assigned to.
Submission Instructions
1. You are required to upload your complete code and the UML class diagram to a Git
repository before the end of the lab session.
2. Once the code is uploaded, generate a link to the repository and submit it using the form
below:
GitHub Submission Form
3. No updates to the repository will be allowed after submission. Ensure that you have
reviewed your code and tested it for errors before submitting.
4. The submission will be marked based on both the code quality and the accuracy of the
UML diagram.
