oop - How to decouple two classes elegantly in the following example? -


suppose take case of building vending machine using oop principles.

let suppose have abstraction called vendingmachine.

class vendingmachine {     list<slot> slots; //or perhaps 2-d matrix of slots }

the vendingmachine class has list of slots , each slot may have capacity (to model 5 items 1 behind other).

now how associate value ($) slot. each slot have same item each slot should associated same value (or better abstraction representing item, item class).

but in terms of responsibility, vendingmachine class should able eject item, or throw exception when trying eject item empty slot. think not responsibility of vendingmachine class know value of particular slot.

how design elegantly? there design pattern comes mind.

my solution create class moneymanager.

class moneymanager {     moneymanager(vendingmachine vm);     pair<slot, item> mapping; } class item {     int itemcode;     bigdecimal value; }

even if think modelling wrong, more interested in knowing how decouple 2 classes that.

for example if design car parking lot, class vehicles should have information on how space takes (number of spots). parkinglot has information how spots has.

but don't want car know in parkinglot parked , in spot. don't want parkinglot maintain state of cars parked , where. should there intermediate class parkingmanager maintains state clean design?

i think need kind of logic wharehouse administration.

supposing slots , items of same size, probabbly break out this. 

public class item {     public string name { get; set; }      public string category { get; set; } }  public class slot {     public int capacity { get; set; }      public list<item> items { get; set; } }  public class warehouse {     public list<slot> slots { get; set; } }

this going manage basic distribution of items in warehouse. warehouse class going manage list of slots , slot class going manage list of items contains.

probably, if need, you add sizes , locations , add logic of kind of items fit different slots.

android - InAppBilling registering BroadcastReceiver in AndroidManifest -

i'm implementing inapp billing in android app. works well, however, i'm trying decouple broadcast receiver activity manifest. suggestion in android's trivialdrive sample: // important: dynamically register broadcast messages updated purchases. // register receiver here instead of <receiver> in manifest // because call getpurchases() @ startup, therefore can ignore // broadcasts sent while app isn't running. // note: registering listener in activity bad idea, done here // because sample. regardless, receiver must registered after // iabhelper setup, before first call getpurchases(). currently there's class extends broadcastreceiver : public class iabbroadcastreceiver extends broadcastreceiver { /** * intent action receiver should filter for. */ public static final string action = "com.android.vending.billing.purchases_updated"; private final iabbroadcastlistener mlistener; public iabbroadcastreceiver(iabbroadcastlistener listener) { m...

python Tkinter Capturing keyboard events save as one single string -

is possible store keyboard events 1 string? code below stores 1 char , prints it. card reader or bar code reader, contains collection of character/ string not 1 character @ time. goal save char pressed text variable. from tkinter import * root = tk() def key(event): text= event.char text+= event.char print ("pressed", text) def callback(event): frame.focus_set() print ("clicked at", event.x, event.y) frame = frame(root, width=100, height=100) frame.bind("<key>", key) frame.bind("<button-1>", callback) frame.pack() root.mainloop() currently, creating text variable , everytime key() function gets called, , text stores last character typed. you can define text module level variable , , use module level text inside key function - text = '' def key(event): global text text+= event.char print("pressed", text)

sql server - Why does Linq-to-SQL add unnecessary COUNT()? -

here tables: create table customer ( cid int primary key, name varchar(32) ) create table ord ( oid int primary key, cid int foreign key references customer, address varchar(20) ) here's linq-to-sql statement: var aaa = c in db.customer select new { c, o = c.ord.tolist() }; and here's inexplicable query generated linq-to-sql: select [t0].[cid] [cid], [t0].[name] [name], [t1].[oid] [oid], [t1].[cid] [cid2], [t1].[address] [address], (select count(*) [dbo].[ord] [t2] [t2].[cid] = [t0].[cid]) [value] [dbo].[customer] [t0] left outer join [dbo].[ord] [t1] on [t1].[cid] = [t0].[cid] order [t0].[cid], [t1].[oid] i want understand how rid of count(*) part. it's entirely uncalled for! linq needs count(*) in order determine number of entries returned o = c.ord.tolist() .
