Homework #1 - Simple class

Assignment

• Write a public class PV178.Homework1.Mutant implementing the interface PV178.Homework1.IMonster

Requirements:

• properties NumberOfEyes and NumberOfLegs throw exceptions according to the comments in the interface
• the method CalculateLifeSpan() of the class Mutant returns a a life span of the mutant according to the schema/algorithm:
  1. eyeless and legless mutants live for 32 years
  2. one more eye means double the life span of a mutant
  3. one more leg means -20 years of life
  4. mutants don't live shorter than 1 year
• the method Scream() of the class Mutant outputs a string "Wrghoauhhhh!!!" to System.Console
• add an extra static read-only property MutantsCount to the Mutant class, which maintains the number of objects of the class Mutant (hint: don't forget to update counter in constructor and destructor)

Submitting

• Name the file Mutant.cs and upload it to the directory of your seminar group (link below) before the deadline.
• Deadline: 23:59 14.3.2010

Seminar

• everything is enclosed in classes (no functions, no global properties)
• all the types inherit from the object class
• referential vs. value types
• class members visibility
• it is always better to write visibility modifiers explicitly
• properties (code snippet "prop"), attributes, fields
• enums, structs (the difference between structs and classes)
• naming conventions
