Chapter 10, Problem 10PP

The U.S. Postal Service printed a bar code on every envelope that represented a five- (or more) digit zip code using a format called POSTNET (this format was deprecated in favor of a new system, OneCode, in 2009). The bar code consists of long and short bars as shown:Chapter 10, Problem 10PP, The U.S. Postal Service printed a bar code on every envelope that represented a five- (or more)

For this program, we will represent the bar code as a string of digits. The digit 1 represents a long bar, and the digit 0 represents a short bar.

Therefore, the bar code would be represented in our program as

110100101000101011000010011

The first and last digits of the bar code are always 1. Removing these leaves 25 digits. If these 25 digits are split into groups of 5 digits each, we have

10100 10100 01010 11000 01001

Next, consider each group of 5 digits. There will always be exactly two 1s in each group of digits. Each digit stands for a number. From left to right, the digits encode the values 7, 4, 2, 1, and 0. Multiply the corresponding value with the digit and compute the sum to get the final encoded digit for the zip code. The table below shows the encoding for 10100.

Bar Code Digits 1 0 1 0 0
Value 7 4 2 1 0
Product of Digit 4 Value
Zip Code Digit = 7 + 0 + 2 + 0 + 0 = 9

Repeat this for each group of 5 digits and concatenate to get the complete zip code. There is one special value. If the sum of a group of 5 digits is 11, then this represents the digit 0 (this is necessary because with two digits per group it is not possible to represent zero). The zip code for the sample bar code decodes to 99504. Although the POSTNET scheme may seem unnecessarily complex, its design allows machines to detect if errors have been made in scanning the zip code.

Write a zip code class that encodes and decodes 5-digit bar codes used by the U.S. Postal Service on envelopes. The class should have two constructors. The first constructor should input the zip code as an integer, and the second constructor should input the zip code as a bar code string consisting of 0s and 1s, as described above. Although you have two ways to input the zip code, internally, the class should store the zip code using only one format (you may choose to store it as a bar code string or as a zip code number). The class should also have at least two public member functions, one to return the zip code as an integer, and the other to return the zip code in bar code format as a string. All helper functions should be declared private. Embed your class definition in a suitable test program. Your program should print an error message if an invalid bar code is passed to the constructor.

2. UNIX Shell and History Feature [20 points] This question consists of designing a C program to serve as a shell interface that accepts user commands and then executes each command in a separate process. A shell interface gives the user a prompt, after which the next command is entered. The example below illustrates the prompt osh> and the user's next command: cat prog.c. The UNIX/Linux cat command displays the contents of the file prog.c on the terminal using the UNIX/Linux cat command and your program needs to do the same. osh> cat prog.c The above can be achieved by running your shell interface as a parent process. Every time a command is entered, you create a child process by using fork(), which then executes the user's command using one of the system calls in the exec() family (as described in Chapter 3). A C program that provides the general operations of a command-line shell can be seen below. #include #include #define MAX LINE 80 /* The maximum length command */ { int…
Question#2: Design and implement a Java program using Abstract Factory and Singleton design patterns. The program displays date and time in one of the following two formats: Format 1: Date: MM/DD/YYYY Time: HH:MM:SS Format 2: Date: DD-MM-YYYY Time: SS,MM,HH The following is how the program works. In the beginning, the program asks the user what display format that she wants. Then the program continuously asks the user to give one of the following commands, and performs the corresponding task. Note that the program gets the current date and time from the system clock (use the appropriate Java date and time operations for this). 'd' display current date 't': display current time 'q': quit the program. • In the program, there should be 2 product hierarchies: "DateObject” and “TimeObject”. Each hierarchy should have format and format2 described above. • Implement the factories as singletons. • Run your code and attach screenshots of the results. • Draw a UML class diagram for the program.
