Kalk is the final project developed for the Object Oriented Programming Course at the University of Padova. It focuses on linear algebra data structures and operations. Multiple types of matrices can be combined, and each of them has its own custom methods.
Kalk is structured into two different subprojects. Both heavily implement templating, inheritance, polymorphism and S.O.L.I.D. principles, as required by the specifics, which can be found here (they are only available in Italian). The custom library that handles linear algebra operations and data structures is separated from the rest of the code and is heavily commented.
Please check out the essay that discusses the project in great detail and explains its class hierarchy.
This folder contains the code for a desktop application written in C++ using the Qt framework. It implements the Model-View-Controller pattern as well as separation of concerns. Every visual component is defined in its own class and receives the data to display from the parent. The core library implements multiple virtual inheritance, and the hierarchy is displayed below. The code aims to be easily extendible thanks to the use of multiple abstract classes and virtual iterators.
This folder contains the Java equivalent of the kalk-cpp/lib folder, so it is the Java implementation of the core library that is leveraged by the desktop app. It's main class, Use.java, has the only purpose of displaying sample usages of the different classes of the hierarchy. Due to the usage of Streams, it requires Java 8.
While developing this project, the focus was on the following requirements:
- polymorphism
- separation of concerns
- composability
- OOP
- reactive events (thanks to
Qt::connect) - code readability
This project was evaluated 2/2, thus allowing me to complete the OOP University Course with a Mark of 30/30.
