Scenario

These days, online shopping is very popular. Different online shopping sites offer variety of products to its customers. A customer can visit the website and purchase the desired items.

Purchased item will be dispatched to the customer after confirming the status of the product item.

Question No. 1: (10)
Carefully read the above mentioned scenario and identify the five possible states of product item life cycle. Also draw the State Transition Diagram for the mentioned scenario with proper labelling of the transitions.

Question No. 2: (10)
Suppose you are hired as a software engineer in an XYZ organization for maintaining design of an existing educational institute system. For this purpose, you will need to apply the software design principles for a good maintainable design. All the changes in the system design should be localized, so that, it should have a minimal effect on other parts of the system. A small portion of code from the existing system is given below. This code is observed to be loosely cohesive. You are required to apply the software design principles and make the code highly cohesive.

class course {
    private:
         string course_code;
         string course_name;
         int credit_hours;
         int enrolled_student;
         int student_id;
         string student_name;
         int studentCurrentSemster;
         float student_gpa; 
              
   public: 
      void setCourseCode(string);
      void setCourseName(string);
      void setCreditHours(int);
      void countEnrolledStudent();
      void setStudentId(int);
     
      string getCourseCode();
      string getCourseName();
      int getCreditHours();
      int getStudentId(); 
      int getStudentCurrentSemster();
};
