COMP 2012 Object-Oriented Programming and Data
Structures
Assignment 1 Food Ordering System
Source: DALL-E
Introduction
In this assignment, we will combine the concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
principles and utilizes C++ to construct a food ordering system. We will leverage the power
of OOP concepts like classes and objects to model real-world entities such as Order,
Buyer, and Menu. These classes will encapsulate relevant data and functionalities, ensuring
proper implementation. Additionally, we will employ basic C++ constructs like functions,
loops, and conditional statements to implement functionalities like adding items to
the menu, placing orders, and managing user interactions.
Furthermore, for this assignment you will work on these major functionalities.

class Buyer {
private:
 int buyerID;
 string buyerName;

public:
 //Default Constructor
 Buyer(int id = 0, const string& name = "");
 //Setter and getter methods for Buyer ID
 int getBuyerId() const;
 void setBuyerId(int newId);
 //Setter and getter methods for Buyer Name
 string getBuyerName() const;
 void setBuyerName(const string& newName);
};
Explanation of Buyer Class
The provided code defines a class named `Buyer` that represents a buyer in a system.
Member Variables
buyerID: An integer variable to store the unique identifier of the buyer.
buyerName: A string variable to store the name of the buyer.
Constructor
Buyer(int id = 0, const string& name = "")
This is the constructor for the `Buyer` class. It takes two optional arguments to initialize a
new `Buyer` object:
id (integer): An integer representing the buyer's ID (defaults to 0).
name (const string&): A constant string reference to the buyer's name (defaults
to an empty string).
Member Functions (Getters and Setters)
The `Buyer` class provides methods to access and modify its member variables in a
controlled manner:
getBuyerId() const: This function retrieves the current value of the `buyerID`
member variable and returns it as an integer. It's a **const** function, meaning it
guarantees not to modify the object's state.
setBuyerId(int newId): This function allows you to set a new value for the
`buyerID` member variable. It takes an integer argument (`newId`) representing the
new buyer ID.
getBuyerName() const: This function retrieves the current value of the
`buyerName` member variable and returns it as a string. Similar to `getBuyerId`, it's a
**const** function.
setBuyerName(const string& newName): This function allows you to set a new
value for the `buyerName` member variable. It takes a constant string reference
(`newName`) representing the buyer's new name.
COMP 2012 Assignment 1: Food Ordering System 29/03/2024, 23:23
https://course.cse.ust.hk/comp2012/assignments/assignment1/#submission Page 4 of 19
By using getters and setters, the `Buyer` class promotes data encapsulation. It restricts
direct access to the member variables and provides controlled ways to retrieve and update
their values.
Food Class (Food.h)
The file Food.h is a C++ header file defining a Food class. The Food class provides a
structured way to represent and manage food items with their unique IDs, names, and
prices. It offers methods to control access to these attributes and allows for creating deep
copies of existing food items.
class Food {
private:
 int foodID;
 string foodName;
 float price;
public:
 //Default Constructor
 Food(int id = 0, const string& name = "", float price = 0.0);

 // Copy constructor for Food
 Food(const Food& other);
 //Setter and getter method for Food ID
 void setFoodId(int newId);
 int getFoodId() const;

 //Setter and getter method for Food Name
 void setFoodName(const string& newName);
 string getFoodName() const;

 //Setter and getter method for Food Price
 void setPrice(float newPrice);
 float getPrice() const;

};
Explanation of Food Class
The provided code defines a class named `Food` that represents a food item within a
system.
Member Variables
foodID: An integer variable to store the unique identifier of the food item.
foodName: A string variable to store the name of the food item.
price: A float variable to store the price of the food item.
Constructors
The `Food` class includes two constructors for creating new `Food` objects:
Default Constructor:

COMP 2012 Assignment 1: Food Ordering System 29/03/2024, 23:23
https://course.cse.ust.hk/comp2012/assignments/assignment1/#submission Page 5 of 19
This constructor takes three optional arguments for initializing a new `Food` object:
id (integer): An integer representing the food item's ID (defaults to 0).
name (const string&): A constant string reference to the food item's name
(defaults to an empty string).
price (float): A floating-point number representing the price of the food item
(defaults to 0.0).
Copy Constructor:
Food(const Food& other);
This constructor creates a deep copy of an existing `Food` object, ensuring
independent memory allocation for the copied data. While completing the copy
constructor task make sure you implement this as a delegated constructor.
Member Functions (Getters and Setters)
The `Food` class provides methods to access and modify its member variables:
getFoodId(): Returns the current value of the `foodID` member variable.
setFoodId(int newId): Sets a new value for the `foodID` member variable.
getFoodName(): Returns the current value of the `foodName` member variable.
setFoodName(const string& newName): Sets a new value for the `foodName`
member variable.
getPrice(): Returns the current value of the `price` member variable.
setPrice(float newPrice): Sets a new value for the `price` member variable.
Menu Class (Menu.h)
The file Menu.h is a C++ header file defining a Menu class. The Menu class provides a
structured way to manage a collection of food items within a menu system. It provides
functionalities to add, remove, display, and manage food items within a menu.
Explanation of Menu Class
class Menu {
private:
 Food* foodItems; // Dynamic array of food items
 int currentSize; // Current number of food items
 int capacity; // Maximum capacity of the array
 int nextFoodId; // Track the next available food item ID

public:
 Menu(); // Constructor to initialize currentSize and allocate memory for foodItems
 ~Menu(); // Destructor to free allocated memory
 void addFood(const Food& food);
 bool removeFood(int id);
 void displayMenu() const;
 void manageFoodItems();
 const Food* getFoodById(int id) const;
private: //Helper Functions
 bool isFull() const { return currentSize == capacity; }
 void resizeArray(); // Resizes the array if needed
 int findFoodIndex(int id) const;
};

items stored in the `foodItems` array.
capacity: An integer variable that specifies the maximum number of food items the
`foodItems` array can hold.
nextFoodId: An integer variable that is used as a counter to track the next available
food item ID which should be a unique value. This variable is then used to assign new
Food item ID (a new and unique value) when added to menu.
Public Member Functions
Menu() (Constructor): This constructor initializes the `Menu` object. It sets
`currentSize` to 0, 'nextFoodId' to 1, and allocates memory for the `foodItems` array
with a chosen initial capacity. NOTE: Assign capacity value to 10 in the beginning.
~Menu() (Destructor): This destructor is responsible for freeing the memory allocated
for the `foodItems` array when a `Menu` object goes out of scope, preventing memory
leaks.

takes a reference to a `Food` object (`food`) and adds it to the `foodItems` array.
removeFood(int id): This function removes a food item from the menu based on its
ID (`id`). It searches for the food item with the matching ID and removes it from the
`foodItems` array.
displayMenu() const: This function displays the information about all food items
currently in the menu. It iterates through the `foodItems` array and displays details of
each food item.
manageFoodItems(): This function provides an interface for managing food items in
the menu. It offer options to add, remove, edit, or perform other operations on the food
items.
getFoodById(int id) const: This function retrieves a pointer to a `Food` object
from the menu based on its ID (`id`). It searches for the food item with the matching ID
and returns a pointer to it, or `nullptr` if not found.
Private Helper Functions
isFull() const: This helper function checks if the `foodItems` array is at full
capacity. It returns `true` if the `currentSize` equals the `capacity`.
resizeArray(): This private function handles resizing the `foodItems` array if
needed. It called by `addFood` if the array is full, increasing the capacity and
reallocating memory for the array.
findFoodIndex(int id) const: This helper function searches for the index of a
food item with a specific ID (`id`) within the `foodItems` array. It iterates through the
array and returns the index if a match is found, or -1 if not found.
Order Class (Order.h)

next: A pointer to the next `OrderNode` in the linked list. It allows traversing the list by
following these pointers from node to node.
buyer (const Buyer&): A constant reference to the `Buyer` object associated with
the `order`. This reference is retrieved using the `getBuyer()` method of the `Order`
object within the node.
OrderNode(const Order& order, OrderNode* next = nullptr)
(Constructor): This constructor initializes a new `OrderNode` object. It takes an
`Order` object by reference (`order`) and an optional pointer to the next node (`next`).
It creates a new node storing the order and setting the `next` pointer accordingly
(defaults to `nullptr` if not provided).
Public Member Functions
OrderList() (Constructor): This constructor initializes the `OrderList` object. It set
the `head` pointer to `nullptr`, indicating an empty list.
~OrderList() (Destructor): This destructor is responsible for deallocating all the
nodes in the linked list when an `OrderList` object goes out of scope, preventing
memory leaks. It iterate through the list, starting from the `head`, and delete each
node appropriately, ensuring proper memory management.

`OrderList`. It creates a new `OrderNode` with the provided `order` and inserts it at
the end of list.
removeOrder(int orderId): This function attempts to remove an order from the
list based on its unique ID (`orderId`). It searches for the node containing the matching
order and removes it from the linked list.
findOrder(int orderId) const: This function searches for an order in the list
based on its ID (`orderId`). It iterates through the linked list and returns a pointer to the
`Order` containing the matching order, or `nullptr` if not found.
displayOrderList() const: This function displays information about all orders
currently in the list. It iterates through the linked list and calls the `displayOrder`
function of each `OrderNode`'s `order` object to display details.
displayOrdersForBuyer(int buyerId) const: This function displays
information about orders placed by a specific buyer identified by their ID (`buyerId`). It
iterates through the list and checks the `buyer` reference within each `OrderNode`
using the `getBuyer().getId()` (assuming `Buyer` has a `getId` function) to see if it
matches the provided `buyerId`. If there's a match, the order details are displayed.
isEmpty() const: This function check if the order list is empty or not.

NOTE: The program is compiled using the -fsanitize flag. You will lose points if your
program contains memory leak or other runtime issues.
Compilation Requirement
IMPORTANT: You are strongly recommended to finish the function prototypes such that the
program can compile before you start implementing the functions. If your program cannot
compile, your score on ZINC is automatically 0. If your program can compile, you may get
partial credits for tasks you have finished.
It is required that your submissions can be compiled and run successfully in our online
autograder ZINC. If we cannot even compile your work, it won't be graded. Therefore, for
parts that you cannot finish, just put in dummy implementation so that your whole program
can be compiled for ZINC to grade the other parts that you have done. Empty
implementations can be like:
Reminders
Make sure you actually upload the correct version of your source files - we only grade
what you upload. Some students in the past submitted an empty file or a wrong file or an
exe file which is worth zero mark. So you must double-check the file you have submitted.
Late Submission Policy
There will be a penalty of -1 point (out of a maximum 100 points) for every minute you are
late. For instance, since the deadline of assignment 1 is 23:59:00 on March 30th, if you
submit your solution at 1:00:00 on March 31st , there will be a penalty of -61 points for your
assignment. However, the lowest grade you may get from an assignment is zero: any
negative score after the deduction due to late penalty (and any other penalties) will be reset
to zero.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: My code doesn't work / there is an error. Here is the code. Can you help me fix it?
A: As the assignment is a major course assessment, to be fair, you are supposed to work on
it on your own, and we should not finish the tasks for you. We might provide some very
general hints, but we shall not fix the problem or debug it for you.
Q: Can I include additional libraries?
A: No, other than the libraries already included in their respective .cpp files.
Q: Can I use global or static variables such as static int x?
A: No.
Q: Can I use auto?
A: No.
Q: What is the purpose of nextFoodId variable in menu class?
A: Refer to Piazza disscussion @149 and also @144 and their followup discussions.
