Grocery Store Product Factory

This project implements a design pattern assignment using both the Abstract Factory Pattern and the Factory Method Pattern. The goal is to create different grocery products (such as Bananas and Apples), set their prices after creation by reading from a data file, and demonstrate the functionality with a test driver.

Project Structure

This is how my project is structured:

1. /

The root of the project has all the relevent assignment files

• GroceryProductFactory.java:

  • Defines the abstract factory interface that creates products and sets their prices.

• BananaFactory.java:

  • Implements the GroceryProductFactory interface to create Banana and set the price based on the data file.
  • Also includes the Banana Class
    • Concrete class that represents the Banana product, extending the GroceryProduct class.

• AppleFactory.java:

  • Implements the GroceryProductFactory interface to create Apple and set the price based on the data file.
  • Also includes the Apple Class
    • Concrete class that represents the Apple product, extending the GroceryProduct class.

• GroceryProduct.java:

  • Abstract base class for all products, providing the blueprint for setting and getting product prices.

• TestDriver.java:

  • Main test class that demonstrates the functionality of the factory pattern. It creates instances of Bananas and Apples using the factories and sets the price from the data file.
