Classes and methods arrangements along arrays
How do I go about putting my methods and classes in order?
I am writing a product Data Catalogue program with a mix of classes and methods, as well as Arrays.
Right now, I am stuck. I can’t figure out how to put the combination of Arrays, Methods and classes in proper orders.
Being new to C# makes writing a program with multiple classes and methods a difficult work.
I would be happy for your suggestions and help, to give me an idea how I could go about it.
Below is the dirty script of what I am trying to do:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
namespace CatalogueInventory // change to catalogue inventory
{
static void Main (string)[] args)
{
// Create a singleargument constructor, which accepts and
// initializes the catalogueName field and initializes
// numberOfProducts as 0 and allocates and
// assigns an array of ProductData (having MAX_NUM_PRODUCTS elements) to products.
// Create a method PrintCatalogue, which iterates over all products stored in products
// and prints out each product by invoking ProductData’ s PrintProduct method.
// method InsertProduct, which adds another product
// (including its name and retail price) into the catalogue.
public int numberOfProducts =0;
const int MAX_NUM_PRODUCTS = 100;
public string[]productNames = new string [MAX_NUM_PRODUCTS];
public double[]retailPrices = new double [MAX_NUM_PRODUCTS];
public string[]catalogueName = new string[MAX_NUM_PRODUCTS];
// Create a new product catalogue: Prompt the user to enter the name of the
// product catalogue (e.g., electronics, groceries, apparel, etc.).
// Then create an instance of ProductCatalogue like so:
ProductCatalogue catalogue = new ProductCatalogue(StoreitemCatalogue);
productCatalogue[]catalogues = new ProductCatalogue[10];
Catalogues = new Electronics();
productNames[0] = "Golden Apple Watch";
retailPrices[0] = 1800;
productNames[0] = "Swiss cuckoo clock";
retailPrices[0] = 400;
productNames[0] = "ACME watch";
retailPrices[0] = 123.45;
productNames[0] = "Kambrook Fan Heater";
retailPrices[0] = 59;
Catalogues = new Books();
productNames[1] = "The Distinguished Gentleman";
retailPrices[1] = 14.95;
productNames[1] = "Get Shorty";
retailPrices[1] = 9.95;
productNames[1] = "Born Invincible";
retailPrices[1] = 22.45;
Catalogues = new Apparel();
productNames[2] = "Women Double-faced wool coat";
retailPrices[2] = 275.25;
productNames[2] = "Men Cotton Polo Shirt";
retailPrices[2] = 45.55;
productNames[2] = "Children Bear coverall sweater";
retailPrices[2] = 48.55;
