Objective: Write a TimeObserver interface.
Define an interface (Java) or abstract class (C++) called
TimeObserver
that has the following structure:
The provided graphic shows a class diagram for a class named TimeObserver. Here is a description of the diagram:
-
Class Name: The class is named
TimeObserver
, as indicated in the top section of the diagram.
-
Method: The class contains one public method:
+timeChanged(newTime: int): void
+
: This symbol indicates that the method is public.
timeChanged
: This is the name of the method.
newTime: int
: This indicates that the method accepts a single parameter named newTime
, which is of type int
.
: void
: This indicates that the method does not return any value (return type is void
).
-
Purpose: The diagram implies that the
TimeObserver
class is likely part of an Observer Design Pattern where it monitors or observes changes in a time
value. When the time
value changes, the timeChanged
method is invoked with the updated time as its argument.
