Question

My project is to make a program for A local coffee shop that sells a variety of different items shown below to their customers. You are asked to write a Java application that can be used to keep track of these items. Additionally, this program provides a way to print out a listing of the items.

Item Name Price

Coffee $1.00

Water $2.00

Milk $1.50

Bagel $1.25

Donut $0.75



Your program will create a class, named Item. This class has the following:

A String instance variable to hold the item name

A double instance variable to hold the price

A constructor that takes a String and double to initialize the instance variables

A get and set method for each instance variable

Once you have this class created, you write a second class named CoffeeDriver. This class has the following methods:



• sortName – this method sorts the array of items by item name and then displays the name and price of all items on the screen

• sortPrice – this method sorts the array of items by item price and then displays the name and price of all items on the screen

• main - It creates an array of Item objects using the data above to set each Item's information.



Be sure your program demonstrates good programming style. //<------"(appropriate comments, identifier names, indenting, etc within the program code).

Explanation / Answer

import java.util.*;


public class CoffeeDriver
{
    //This method will sort the array of items by name
    //and then print them to the screen
    public void sortName(Item[] itemArray){
        Arrays.sort(itemArray, new ItemNameComparator());
        printItems(itemArray);
    }
    //This method will sort the array of items by price
    //and then print them to the screen
    public void sortPrice(Item[] itemArray){
        Arrays.sort(itemArray, new ItemPriceComparator());
        printItems(itemArray);
    }
    //This method prints the array of items to the screen
    private void printItems(Item[] itemArray){
        for (int x = 0; x < itemArray.length; x++){
            System.out.println(itemArray[x]);
        }
    }

    //Comparators used to do the perform the sorting
    class ItemNameComparator implements Comparator<Item>
    {
        public int compare(Item a, Item b){
            return a.getItemName().compareTo(b.getItemName());
        }
    }
    class ItemPriceComparator implements Comparator<Item>
    {
        public int compare(Item a, Item b){
            return ((new Double(a.getPrice())).compareTo(new Double(b.getPrice())));
        }
    }
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {
        int numItems = 5;
        //This array will hold the items
        Item[] itemArray = new Item[numItems];

        //Initialize the items array
        itemArray[0] = new Item("Coffee", 1.0);
        itemArray[1] = new Item("Water", 2.0);
        itemArray[2] = new Item("Milk", 1.5);
        itemArray[3] = new Item("Bagel", 1.25);
        itemArray[4] = new Item("Donut", 0.75);

        CoffeeDriver cf = new CoffeeDriver();
        cf.sortName(itemArray);
        System.out.println();
        cf.sortPrice(itemArray);
    }
}
