Task 2

Given two lists, write python code to print “True” if the two lists have at least one common element. For example, x = [1,2,3], y=[3,4,5], then the program should print “True” since there is a common element 3.

Hint: 

We can first calculate set(x) – set(y). set(x) – set(y) is to remove the element in x that also exists in y (3 in this case). So set(x) – set(y) will be equal to (1,2), which is a set. And its length is 2 if you calculate len(set(x) – set(y)).

if set(x) – set(y) has a smaller length than set(x), i.e. len(set(x) – set(y))

This will get easier after we learn the iteration structure and the conditional statement in the next few weeks.

(-5 points) Objectives: • Create a modular code solution with multi-packages • Use the Singleton pattern to create and manage the Scanner object • Create and manipulate a multi-directional LinkedList in Java • Use Java Generics to create generic classes and methods • Implement and use the Comparable interface Problem: A small electronics company has hired you to write an application to manage their inventory. The company requested a role-based access control (RBAC) to increase the security around using the new application. The company also requested that the application menu must be flexible enough to allow adding new menu items to the menu with minimal changes. This includes re-ordering the menu items and making changes to the description of a menu item without having to change the code. Security: The company has suggested to start the application by asking the user for a username and password to ensure that the user is authorized to access the application. There are two types of users at this company, managers and employees. If managers log on to the application, they will see all options on the menu list. If employees log on to the application, they will see a limited set of options on the menu list. User information is stored in Users.dat file, which may or may not exist at the start of the program. A super user “admin” with password “admin” has already been hardcoded in the program to allow for the initial setup and the creation of other users. The Users.dat file contains the FirstName, LastName, Username (case insensitive), HashedPassword and a flag to indicate whether a user is a manager or not. The file is comma separated and it is formatted as follows: Joe, Last, jlast, 58c536ed8facc2c2a293a18a48e3e120, true Sam,, sone, 2c2a293a18a48e3e12058c536ed8facc, false Jane, Best, jbest, 293a18a48e3e12052058c536ed8facc2c, false Application Menu: The menu of the application is dynamically loaded and displayed to the user only after the user successfully logs on. The menu items will be loaded from file “MenuList.dat”, which may or may not exist at the start of the application. If the file doesn’t exist, the application should show at least an Exit menu item as default. The file will contain all menu items details, including the name of the command that will be executed when the menu item is selected. The file may contain duplicate menu items. Your program should detect this by checking the command name as a key to compare menu items and prevent showing duplicates in the menu. If a menu item is marked as restricted (Boolean flag), only managers can see that item. The file contains the following comma separated fields, Description, a Boolean flag to indicate if the option is restricted to managers only, and the name of the menu command that will be executed when the option is chosen. The order and option number of a menu item may change depending on how they are listed in the file. The Exit option will always be listed last and it will not be in the file. Below is a sample of how the MenuList.dat file looks like: Add User, true, AddUserCommand Delete User, true, DeleteUserCommand Change Password, false, ChangePasswordCommand Add New Product, true, AddProductCommand *Note: The command name of each menu item must match the name of the class that you will create in the code (See AddProductCommand class in the code for example). Inventory: The inventory consists of multiple products of type Product stored in class ProductCatalog. The ProductCatalog is responsible of all inventory operations that add, remove, find and update a product. When printing a product information, the product retail price should be calculated and displayed as well. Retail price = (cost + (margin * cost/100)). A list of functions has been added to this class in the provided code template. You must implement all listed functions. The inventory products will be saved in file Inventory.dat, which may or may not exist when the program first starts. The file will contain the product unique id (int), product name (string), cost (double), quantity (int) and margin (int, integer that represents margin percentage). Your program must prevent the user from inserting duplicate products by checking existing products using the product name (ignore case) as a comparison key. The Inventory.dat file is comma separated and formatted as follows: 3424, Smart Watch, 20.45, 23, 80 65454, Flat Screen TV, 465.98, 15, 35 435, Computer Monitor, 123.54, 84, 43 Data Structure: The MenuList and ProductCatalog classes must use a custom LinkedList that you will create instead of using an ArrayList. The nodes in this list must be multi-directional to facilitate moving from current node to next node and from current node to previous node if needed. This custom linked list must be named InventoryLinkedList, must be generic, and must contain at least the following methods: – public InventoryLinkedList(E[] elements) //Constructor – public E GetFirst() //Get the first element in the list – public E GetLast() //Get the last element in the list – public void Insert(int index, E element) //Inserts element e at the specified index – public E Remove(int index) //Remove the element at the specified index – public String toString() //Return formatted elements information – public boolean Contains(E element) //Check if list contains the element – public E SetElement(int index, E element) //Set the element at the specified index – public E GetElement(int index) //Get the element at the specified index – public Integer GetLength() //Returns the number of elements in the list Output Format: Enter username: some username Enter password: some password //Repeat prompts until user is authenticated OR show error and option to exit.
