Analysis and Design of Object-Oriented Software Systems (ITECH7201)

This assignment presents a solution for a software engineering project focused on designing and developing a Java console application. The project requires an understanding of analysis and design techniques, including the creation of use cases and UML diagrams such as use case diagrams, class diagrams, and sequence diagrams. The solution demonstrates object-oriented programming principles, with a specific focus on polymorphism and the use of interfaces. The project addresses the concepts of object-oriented design (OOD) and the importance of understanding polymorphism in the context of software development. The provided solution explores the concept of polymorphism, including the use of different types of integer, string, complex, and real in the context of static and dynamic polymorphism. The assignment is for ITECH7201 Software Engineering: Analysis and Design and is a project that involves the application of object-oriented principles, specifically polymorphism, in a Java console application.

Reflection:
The unified modelling language, which is also known as the object oriented modelling
language, it has been designed for using in the applications that are related to the object
oriented software. Those apps might be on the basis of the technologies that are object
oriented that is also known as UML. For understanding and using the UML, the architectures
of the software as well as the developers have to be familiar with the methods as well as
general concepts of the object oriented analysis and design\. A problem that is related to the
specifications of UML utilizes some of the concepts of OOD that assumes that there are
existed some of the accepted definitions that are typically general for the concepts that is one
of the mistaken assumptions. Polymorphism is one of the most important aspects of OOD.
However, this is defined very poorly as there is none of the agreements that can declare
which one is the best as the polymorphism is having the ability for applying various
meanings for similar symbols such as for messages and operations. The polymorphism
operations can be utilized with various types of integer, string, complex, real etc. this kind of
the static polymorphism is known as overloading usually as well as it means by using the
similar operation symbol or the name of the function. Various number of parameters and
priorities are also allowed by overloading. In simple words, in the OOD, the meaning of
polymorphism is dynamic polymorphism as well as this is related commonly to the dynamic
binding or late binding.
