ITECH5403 – Comparative Programming Languages School of Science, Engineering and Information Technology CRICOS Provider No. 00103D Page 1 of 7 ITECH5403 - Assignment 2 – Parallel Implementations Due Date: 5pm, Friday of Week 11 This assignment will test your skills in programming applications to specification in a number of different programming languages, and is worth 20% of your non-invigilated (type A) marks for this course. Assignment Overview You are tasked with creating a text-based program for taking orders at a Fruit and Veg Basket shop – however, as this is a comparative languages course, you will be creating the same application in the following four programming languages:  C or C++ (you may choose either of these),  Python,  Java, and  Lisp or Perl (you may choose either of these). As you implement the application in each language you should keep notes on the features of the languages used, which features you found useful, as well as any issues or complications which arose due to the complexity or lack of any language features. A brief discussion based on these programming features for each individual language accompanying each implementation is required. Finally, a comparative overview of the languages highlighting how they were suitable or not suitable for the creating this type of application is also required. It is recommended that the first application you write is in the programming language which is most familiar to you, which will help you to have a working 'template' for taking orders - which you can then translate into the other programming languages. Program Specification Users may order one or more Fruit and Veg Baskets, where a basket may be either: medium, large or extra large. Medium baskets cost $10, large baskets cost $15 and extra large baskets cost $25. Medium baskets come with two serve of fruit and one serve of vegetables. Large baskets come with two serves of fruit and two serves of vegetables. Extra large baskets come with three serves of fruit and three serves of vegetables. Figure 1 - A Fruit and Vegetable basket.ITECH5403 – Comparative Programming Languages School of Science, Engineering and Information Technology CRICOS Provider No. 00103D Page 2 of 7 Customers may choose from the following fruits (technically, a banana is a herb – but we'll call it a fruit!): - Apples, - Bananas, - Cherries, and - Dates. Customers may choose from the following vegetables: - Artichokes, - Broccoli, - Carrots, and - Potatoes. A basket order consists of an order for one or more fruit and veg baskets, where each basket has a size and a list of fruit and vegetables that it's comprised of. Each basket order requires a name and a phone number for pickup. Delivery is not available. Customers may choose to add additional serves of fruit or vegetables to any ordered basket at $6 per serve. The application must be error tolerant and capable of accepting keyboard input to store a number of basket orders in memory (they do not have to be persisted to file), as well as displaying an order summary which include details of all orders that have been taken during this run of the program, including:  The name and phone number of the person who is making the order.  The total cost of the order, and  The details of each basket ordered (size and fruit/veg details).ITECH5403 – Comparative Programming Languages School of Science, Engineering and Information Technology CRICOS Provider No. 00103D Page 3 of 7 Example Program Output ----------------------------------------------- --- Welcome to FedUni Fruit and Veg Baskets --- ----------------------------------------------- [T]ake next order, [D]isplay all placed orders or [Q]uit?

IDLE for Python Python, including the IDLE development environment can be downloaded from: https://www.python.org/downloads/ Eclipse for Java Eclipse may be freely downloaded from: http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/ Eclipse does not come with the Java JDK, which must the downloaded separately from: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Ensure that your Eclipse type and Java type match – i.e. 32-bit Java for 32-bit Eclipse, or 64-bit Java for 64-bit Eclipse. If you mix and match it won't work. GNU CLisp for Common Lisp CLISP 2.49 can be obtained from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/clisp/files/latest/download Any good text editor would be suitable for writing the source code. Stawberry Perl for Perl Strawberry Perl can be obtained from: http://strawberryperl.com/ Any good text editor would be suitable for writing the source code.ITECH5403 – Comparative Programming Languages School of Science, Engineering and Information Technology CRICOS Provider No. 00103D Page 6 of 7 Additional Documentation – Language Suitability Report Every programming languages is designed to be used for different types of tasks, and has features which allow it to be a good choice for those tasks, while perhaps not as good at different types of tasks. During your implementation of the fruit and veg basket program in each of the languages you should make notes about the language features which exist or do not exist, and which have therefore made program development easier or more difficult. Where a language has not provided a feature which would have been useful to the implementation of the program, or where the complexity of using a language feature has been high you should remark upon it and briefly discuss a mechanism or feature of another language which would have made development easier. After completing the application in all languages (or as many as you can), discuss the comparative ease of implementation in terms of the design, implementation and debugging for each programming language, including how robustness issues were addressed. Submission and Marking Process You must supply your program source code files and language suitability report documentation in as single compressed archive called: ITECH5403_Assignment_2__.zip You may supply your programming language suitability report in either Word or LibreOffice/OpenOffice format in which the document can be edited – no proprietary Mac specific formats, please. Assignments will be marked on the basis of fulfilment of the requirements and the quality of the work. In addition to the marking criteria, marks may be deducted for failure to comply with the assignment requirements, including (but not limited to):  Incomplete implementation(s), and  Incomplete submissions (e.g. missing files), and  Poor spelling and grammar. Submit your assignment (all program source files plus your discussion document) to the Assignment 2 Upload location on Moodle before the deadline of Friday of week 11 at 5pm. The mark distribution for this assignment is explained on the next page.ITECH5403 – Comparative Programming Languages School of Science, Engineering and Information Technology CRICOS Provider No. 00103D Page 7 of 7 Assignment 2 – Parallel Implementations Student name: Student ID: Requirement Weight Mark Implementation of the program in the C or C++ programming language.
