dear sir/madam
iam contacting you regarding a java problem which i have come
across. My teacher at manchester met has set a problem for
us to solve but thinking his teaching is excellent and everyone understands
him wen no one does I would appreciate you helping me in this problem as it
would save us from embarrassment.
THE PROBLEM:
Consider a simplified plan of the liverpool bus system. The system consists
of a network
of bus stops(at most 20) and bus lines (at most 5). Each bus stop has a
unique name and each busline has a unique number. Each bus stop is connected
to other bus stops by at most 3 different bus lines. Each of these bus lines
connects a bus stop to exactly one other bus stop and for each bus stop and
each connecting bus line it is known how many minutes the bus needs to get
to the next bus stop.
The objectives are to design and implement in java:
1. A representation of the bus system using suitable data structures.
2. A mechanism to go from one bus stop to a conected bus stop via a
particular bus line.
3. A mechanism for searching for a connection between two given bus stops.
A command line text based interface should be provided that will allow the
user to issue a
series of the following five commands:
start: Allows to enter the current bus stop by name and resets the total
journey time to
zero.
list: The system will show the total journey time so far, and all
information on the current bus stop, that is, its name and the numbers of
all outgoing bus lines.
go: The system asks for the number of a busline. If the number is that of an
outgoing
busline, then the system finds out the busstop connected to the current bus
stop and makes it the new current bus stop. If the number is not that of an
outgoing bus line, then the system will indicate this by a message , but
make no other changes.
search: The system asks for the name of a bus stop. The system will then
indicate whether there is a way to get to this bus stop from the current bus
stop, but makes no other changes.
exit: Stops and exits the system.
