THE COURSEWORK OVERVIEW The coursework is made up of two parts. The first part, Practical Assessment, consists of a set of 2 questions which each student is required to complete during lab sessions and submit to the lecturer by the end of each lab session. Each question will carry a total of 15 marks. The second part, Individual Assignment, consist of a real world scenario where each student is required to develop a Resort Management System. Requirements of the system will be described in greater detail in this document.

OBJECTIVES OF THIS COURSEWORK - Develop the practical ability to describe, justify and implement an object oriented system.
-

Introduce current technical issues in the field of object oriented programming (OOP).

3.0

LEARNING OUTCOMES At the end of this coursework, you should be able to:
-

Explain object oriented programming concepts and apply them to the modelling of real world systems. Explain the object oriented paradigm and utilisation of the offered facilities. Demonstrate the ability to develop and derive new class structures and organise them such that they will model real world systems within computers.

PRACTICAL ASSESSMENT Details of the Practical Assessment will be given during the lab sessions. Students will have exactly one hour to work on each of the questions and will need to submit the solution via email to the lecturer within the hour. Students who do not turn up for the lab session will not be able to do the Practical Assessment for the session and will have to submit an EC. If the EC is upheld, then he / she will be able to take the Practical Assessment (with a different set of questions) on another day as determined by the lecturer.

INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT DESCRIPTION Spring Breaks Travels Sdn Bhd is a licensed resort provider in Temerloh - East Coast Region of Malaysia. Spring Breaks Travels Sdn Bhd offers varieties of accommodation for daily, weekly or monthly rental. Spring Breaks Travels Sdn Bhd has approached you to develop an application for them to manage the homes, bookings and rentals. There are 3 users of this system, namely the staff from Spring Breaks Travels Sdn Bhd, the owners of the home and the customers. The LOGIN module determines the user of the system as one of the following staff, owners and customer. 6.1 to:
-

Users

The staff of Spring Breaks Travels Sdn Bhd would use Resort Management System (RMS) Register staff, owner and customer. (default password will be given to them) Change own password. Add details of new homes. Edit details of existing home, for example to add or remove facilities within the home such as furniture, parking availability etc.
-

View the details of owners, homes and bookings made by customers.

The owner would use Resort Management System (RMS) to: -

Change password. View the status of his/her home either it is rented or not. If it is rented, the duration period it is rented. View how much payment has been collected at any given time.

Note: The owners do not have the access to view customers details. The customers would use Resort Management System (RMS) to: Change password.

View the list of homes, details of the home and the availability of the home for homestay. Book the home and in order to secure a booking, the customer would need to provide personal details and deposit payment details (payable via credit card). Customers will not have the option to make changes to or delete the bookings once it is made.

View the booking they made. Homes / Owners Home ID : autogenerated Home Address : No of bedrooms : <limited to 2, 3 or 4> No of bathrooms : <logical value> Maximum Capacity : <logical value> Facilities available : <give the user the option to select facilities based on a given menu> Size (sq feet) : <can be set to certain square feet> Daily / Weekly / Monthly rental rate: <specify individually> Owner ID : autogenerated Owner Name : Owner Contact No : Owner Address :

6.2

Details of the homes / owners include the following:

May include other relevant details either of home / owner 6.2 Home Booking When a customer intends to book a home, either for daily, weekly or monthly purpose, he / she should be able to view the availability of the home respectively. Based on the list, will he / she be able to make the necessary bookings. When the customer makes a booking, details of the customer are recorded, such as name, IC number / Passport number , Booking Date, Contact Details such as (Address, Telephone Number, Email Address),Home ID, Check-in date and Check-out date

(or the option of daily, weekly, monthly), Credit Card number, Credit Card type and Deposit Payment. The system should calculate the total payment for homestay based on check-in date and check-out date. System also should display balance to be paid to the customer at the end of the transaction. These details should be recorded into data/text file. Note: When booking a home, the customer should just key in HomeID, not the home details. Home details of home should be retrieved from the data / text file. 7.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS The program you submit should compile without errors using any C++ compiler. You should comply with the following coding style guidelines: Use C++ features and NOT C features Use object-oriented concepts in the solution Document your codes by using comments where necessary Use indentation Use meaningful names for identifiers

You should store all the information that is added and edited in either a text file or a data file, so that the information can be uploaded back into the system once activated or saved when the system is exited. You have to assume that this system is installed only in one terminal and used by all types of users. Validation should be done for each entry from the user in order to avoid logical errors. The implementation code must highlight the use of object oriented programming concepts such as: 8.0 Classes & Objects Inheritance Polymorphism
