This assessment item relates to the unit learning outcomes as in the unit descriptors.

This checks your understanding about object-oriented software development.

This assessment covers the following LOs.

LO1 Demonstrate understanding of classes, constructors, objects, data types and

instantiation; Convert data types using wrapper methods and objects.

LO2 Independently analyse customer requirements and design object-oriented programs

using scope, inheritance, and other design techniques; Create classes and objects that
access variables and modifier keywords. Develop methods using parameters and return
values.

LO3 Demonstrate adaptability in building control and loop structures in an object-

oriented environment; Demonstrate use of user defined data structures and array
manipulation.

Project: Converting pounds to kilograms calculator

Problem Description:

Write a JPanel (Conversion.java) and its testing class (testConversion.java) with

appropriate layout to create a user interface as shown in the figure below. Your program
should let the user enter a value in pound and should display the answer in kilograms in a
text area when the “Convert!” button is clicked. Note, your answers should be expressed
in three decimal places, and use append() method to append the answers to the text area
so that any previous answers won’t go away.

Useful formula: 1 𝑝𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑑 = 0.453592 𝑘𝑖𝑙𝑜𝑔𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑠

Analysis/Design: State what you need to implement, border layout type and other
components required … etc.

Coding: (Paste your code here, including the implementation of the button
ActionListener)
