Project 3 Design

Due Date

Before midnight, Sunday 10/27/02
No late designs accepted

Objective

The objective of this assignment is to make sure that you begin thinking about your project in a serious way early. This will not only give you experience doing design work, but will help you anticipate the number of hours that you'll need to set aside to be able to complete the project.

The Assignment

Your design document should consist of a reasonable attempt at the writing of the class definitions for the Library, Book and Patron classes. Write them assuming that you will be implementing all functionality. Be sure to use const everywhere that is appropriate.

Your design assignment must indicate any additional public methods you feel are necessary and provide their justification. Insufficient justification will result in point deductions.

What To Turn In

This design document is to be a plain text file created using a text editor. Do NOT use a word processor to create this document. The file MUST be called design3.txt

Grading

Your design3.txt file will count as 10% of your Project 3 grade. If this file is not submitted by its due date, or if you submit a new version after its due date, you will lose all 10 points.

Your design3.txt file will be assessed as to whether or not you made a reasonable attempt at writing the class definitions for the required classes. Anywhere from 0 to 10 points may be deducted, depending on how sincere and complete your attempt was.

Submitting the Design File

To submit your design document, type the following at the Linux prompt. Note that the project name starts with uppercase 'P'.
