# Summary

Throughout this jam, you've built a strong foundation in object-oriented programming concepts:

1. **Class Design & UML**
- Created professional UML class diagrams
- Learned proper class design principles
- Mastered draw.io for documentation
- Understood relationships between classes

2. **Object-Oriented Programming**
- Implemented encapsulation with private fields and public methods
- Created constructors and getter methods
- Used toString for object representation
- Managed object relationships

3. **Collection Management**
- Worked with ArrayList for dynamic collections
- Implemented search and management operations
- Applied defensive copying principles
- Handled collection validation

4. **Professional Development**
- Used test-driven development
- Followed documentation best practices
- Applied proper error handling
- Created maintainable, well-structured code

## Looking Ahead

In the next jam, we'll build on these foundations as we explore:

- Inheritance and polymorphism
- Abstract classes and interfaces
- More complex object relationships
- Advanced collection operations

# Project Structure

The following new files should be in your repository:

csci205_jams/
├── src/
│   ├── main/
│   │   └── java/
│   │       └── jam05/
│   │           ├── Product.java
│   │           ├── ProductCatalog.java
│   │           └── Jam05-uml.drawio.png
│   └── test/
│       └── java/
│           └── jam05/
│               ├── ProductTest.java
│               └── ProductCatalogTest.java

# Submission

Before submitting your work, complete this final checklist:

1. **Code Completeness**
- All required files are present and in correct locations:
- `Product.java` with working implementation
- `ProductCatalog.java` with collection management
- `Jam05-uml.drawio.png` UML diagram
- All test files in correct location
- All files compile without errors
- All programs run correctly

2. **Documentation**
- UML diagram is clear and complete
- All code follows course standards

3. **Testing**
- All test cases pass (5 Product tests, 8 ProductCatalog tests)
- Product class works correctly
- ProductCatalog manages collections properly
- New price range feature works as expected

4. **Version Control**
First, push your feature branch as a backup:

   # Ensure all changes are committed
   git status
   
   # Push your jam05 branch to remote
   git push origin jam05

Then, merge your work into main:

   # Switch to main branch
   git checkout main
   
   # Merge your jam05 branch into main
   git merge jam05
   
   # Push main to remote
   git push

🚨 **Important Submission Notes**

1. Branch Management:
- Main branch should contain your final, working submission
- Keep your `jam05` branch until grading is complete

2. Repository Status:
- Both branches should be pushed to GitLab
- Working directory should be clean
- The instructors can only grade what's in your GitLab repository

:::warning
🚧 **Important**
Always verify your work appears on [gitlab.bucknell.edu](https://gitlab.bucknell.edu/). The instructors and graders can only see and grade what you've properly pushed to your remote repository.
