10. Objects

• Feel free to use your laptop if you have it

• Ensure I have recorded your completion — failure to do so will result in a grade of 0

• I strongly encourage you to work with others in the lab

  • When you get stuck, do me a favour and ask those sitting around you for help

  • I want people to get used to working together in the labs

  • Peer teaching and peer learning is super effective

Note

To obtain full marks for the lab, you must:

1. Have completed the pre-lab exercises

2. Have been working on the lab content

3. Demonstrate competency in the topics

10.1. Pre Lab Exercises

• Have a working implementation of the Circle class from lecture

  • You can obtain the source code from here

  • Yes, this week’s pre-lab exercise is intended to be simple

  • It will provide a nice template for all the classes you will make in this lab

10.2. Before Kattis

1. Create a Square class

   • Single attribute side_length

   • The constructor will take a parameter for specifying the size

   • Method for calculating area()

   • Method for calculating the perimeter()

   • Make instances of the class and write assert tests to verify correctness

2. Create a Rectangle class

   • Attribute for length

   • Another attribute for width

   • The constructor will take two parameters for specifying the size

   • Method for calculating area()

   • Method for calculating the perimeter()

   • Make instances of the class and write assert tests to verify correctness

3. Create a RectangularPrism class

   • Attributes for length, width, and height

   • The constructor will take three parameters for specifying the size

   • A method for calculating surface_area()

   • A method for calculating volume()

   • Make instances of the class and write assert tests to verify correctness

4. Create a Person class

   • Attribute for first_name

   • Attribute for last_name

   • Attribute for email_address

   • The constructor will take three parameters for specifying the values of the attributes

   • A method returning a string of their full_name() — e.g. Bob Smith

   • Make instances of the class and write assert tests to verify correctness

10.3. Kattis Problems

• You should be using a scrap piece of paper to work out the ideas for the following problems

  • The problems you are to solve are getting too complex to try to solve by just coding

  • Trying to solve problems by just typing away will not yield success
