Shopping Cart – Part 8

In this workbook, you will add interactivity to the application.

Task 1

Remove all the code inside main().

Task 2

Create one object of the Store class and one object of the Cart class. Make both objects class variables.

Task 3

Inside Main, define a function named loadItems.

/**
 * Name: loadItems
 * @param fileName (String)
 * @throws FileNotFoundException
 *
 * Inside the function:
 *   1. loads items from <fileName>.
 *      - while loop runs through every line in <fileName>
 *      - scan.nextLine() picks up the entire line.
 *      - splits each String using the ";" separator.
 *      - splits both fields in each String using the "=" separator.
 *      - Parse each price into a Double.
 *   2. adds all items to the store object's items field.
 */

The function receives the fileName from which you will load items.

/**
 * Name: loadItems
 * @param fileName (String) <-------
 * @throws FileNotFoundException
 *
 * Inside the function:
 *   1. loads items from <fileName>.
 *      - while loop runs through every line in <fileName>
 *      - scan.nextLine() picks up the entire line.
 *      - splits each String using the ";" separator.
 *      - splits both fields in each String using the "=" separator.
 *      - Parse each price into a Double.
 *   2. adds all items to the store object's items field.
 */

The function throws a FileNotFoundException.

/**
 * Name: loadItems
 * @param fileName (String)
 * @throws FileNotFoundException <--------
 *
 * Inside the function:
 *   1. loads items from <fileName>.
 *      - while loop runs through every line in <fileName>
 *      - scan.nextLine() picks up the entire line.
 *      - splits each String using the ";" separator.
 *      - splits both fields in each String using the "=" separator.
 *      - Parse each price into a Double.
 *   2. adds all items to the store object's items field.
 */

Follow steps 1 and 2 to complete the function. Step 1 assumes you're familiar with split() and Double.parse(). If not, please revisit the Movie Store workbook.

/**
 * Name: loadItems
 * @param fileName (String)
 * @throws FileNotFoundException
 *
 * Inside the function: <-----------
 *   1. loads items from <fileName>.
 *      - while loop runs through every line in <fileName>
 *      - scan.nextLine() picks up the entire line.
 *      - splits each String using the ";" separator.
 *      - splits both fields in each String using the "=" separator.
 *      - Parses each price into a Double.
 *   2. adds all items to the store object's items field.
 */

From main(), try to call loadItems. After,

• System.out.println("\n\t******************************JAVA GROCERS******************************\n");

• System.out.println(store);

In case of a failure, catch the FileNotFoundException.

Expected Output:

Once you get this output, remove the two println() statements.

Task 4 – manageItems

---

Inside Main, add a method called manageItems and call it inside the try block.

/**
 * Name: manageItems <------
 * Inside the function:
 *   - 1. Starts a new instance of Scanner;
 *   - 2. Creates an infinite loop:
 *   -        The user can choose to a) add or b) remove c) checkout.
 *   -          case a: asks for the aisle and item number. Then, adds item to cart.
 *   -          case b: asks for the name. Then, removes item from cart.
 *   -          case c: prints the receipt and closes Scanner.
 *   -        Prints the updated shopping cart.
 */

Create a Scanner object.

/**
 * Name: manageItems
 * Inside the function:
 *   - 1. Starts a new instance of Scanner; <------
 *   - 2. Creates an infinite loop:
 *   -        The user can choose to a) add or b) remove c) checkout.
 *   -          case a: asks for the aisle and item number. Then, adds item to cart.
 *   -          case b: asks for the name. Then, removes item from cart.
 *   -          case c: prints the receipt and closes Scanner.
 *   -        Prints the updated shopping cart.
 */

Make a while loop that runs infinitely. Print the following at the beginning of each loop:

println("\n\t******************************JAVA GROCERS******************************\n");

println(store);

/**
 * Name: manageItems
 * Inside the function:
 *   - 1. Starts a new instance of Scanner;
 *   - 2. Creates an infinite loop: <--------
 *   -        The user can choose to a) add or b) remove c) checkout.
 *   -          case a: asks for the aisle and item number. Then, adds item to cart.
 *   -          case b: asks for the name. Then, removes item from cart.
 *   -          case c: prints the receipt and closes Scanner.
 *   -        Prints the updated shopping cart.
 */

During each run, let the user choose between add to cart, remove from cart, or check-out.

println("Options: \n\ta) Add to cart\n\tb) Remove from cart \n\tc) Checkout");

/**
 * Name: manageItems
 * Inside the function:
 *   - 1. Starts a new instance of Scanner;
 *   - 2. Creates an infinite loop:
 *   -        The user can choose to a) add or b) remove c) checkout. <-------------
 *   -          case a: asks for the aisle and item number. Then, adds item to cart.
 *   -          case b: asks for the name. Then, removes item from cart.
 *   -          case c: prints the receipt and closes Scanner.
 *   -        Prints the updated shopping cart.
 */

Case a:

• Pick up the aisle (row) number.

  • System.out.print("\nChoose an aisle number between: 1 – 7: ");

  • Note: the row index goes from 0 to 6.

• Pick up the item number.

  • System.out.print("Choose an item number between: 1 – 3: ");

  • Note: the index of each element goes from 0 to 2.

• If the item is not already in the shopping cart:

  • add it to the cart

  • System.out.println(item.getName() + " was added to your shopping cart.");

• otherwise:

  • System.out.println(item.getName() + " is already in your shopping cart.");

• Important: Since we're using nextLine() and nextInt() in the same loop, add a throwaway nextLine() after each nextInt(). The throwaways will get consumed anyway.

/**
 * Name: manageItems
 * Inside the function:
 *   - 1. Starts a new instance of Scanner;
 *   - 2. Creates an infinite loop:
 *   -        The user can choose to a) add or b) remove c) checkout.
 *   -          case a: asks for the aisle and item number. Then, adds item to cart. <--------
 *   -          case b: asks for the name. Then, removes item from cart.
 *   -          case c: prints the receipt and closes Scanner.
 *   -        Prints the updated shopping cart.
 */

Case b:

• Pick up the item's name:

  • System.out.print("Enter the item you'd like to remove: ");

• Remove the item from the cart.

/**
 * Name: manageItems
 * Inside the function:
 *   - 1. Starts a new instance of Scanner;
 *   - 2. Creates an infinite loop:
 *   -        The user can choose to a) add or b) remove c) checkout.
 *   -          case a: asks for the aisle and item number. Then, adds item to cart.
 *   -          case b: asks for the name. Then, removes item from cart. <----------
 *   -          case c: prints the receipt and closes Scanner.
 *   -        Prints the updated shopping cart.
 */

Case c: print the receipt and close Scanner().

/**
 * Name: manageItems
 * Inside the function:
 *   - 1. Starts a new instance of Scanner;
 *   - 2. Creates an infinite loop:
 *   -        The user can choose to a) add or b) remove c) checkout.
 *   -          case a: asks for the aisle and item number. Then, adds item to cart.
 *   -          case b: asks for the name. Then, removes item from cart.
 *   -          case c: prints the receipt and closes Scanner. <---------
 *   -        Prints the updated shopping cart. 
 */

• At the end of each run, print the updated shopping cart:

  • System.out.println("\n\nSHOPPING CART\n\n" + cart);

• Prompt the user to continue:

  • System.out.print("Enter anything to continue: ");

/**
 * Name: manageItems
 * Inside the function:
 *   - 1. Starts a new instance of Scanner;
 *   - 2. Creates an infinite loop:
 *   -        The user can choose to a) add or b) remove c) checkout.
 *   -          case a: asks for the aisle and item number. Then, adds item to cart.
 *   -          case b: asks for the name. Then, removes item from cart.
 *   -          case c: prints the receipt and closes Scanner.
 *   -        Prints the updated shopping cart. <---------
 */

Final output:

Good Luck!
