QUESTION 1
SCENARIO: Rachel owns a small takeaway kitchen where she specialises in
making 15 different food items which includes a few starters, main meals and
desserts. Clients can choose between anyone of these categories when ordering
something to eat.
Do the following before answering the questions that follow:
Open the incomplete program in the Question 3 folder.
Open the incomplete object class unit clsOrder.pas.
Compile and execute the program.
3.1 [Class Unit]
The incomplete object class (TOrder) contains the declaration of attributes
which describe an Order object.
The complete set of attributes / properties / private fields for an Order object
(a single meal) have been declared as follows:
fItemName – The description of the item/meal
fItemType – The type of meal (e.g. Starter / Main Meal /
Dessert)
fPrepTime – The time (in minutes) taken to prepare a meal.
fPriceClass – The price class according to which Rachel
manages each meal (There are three: 1, 2 or
3)
fCost – The cost of an item/meal in Rand (R).
The following methods have also been provided:
ToString: An incomplete method used to concatenate and return
the attributes of the object as a single string.
Three accessor methods (GETCost, GETItemType and
GETItemName).
Complete the code in the object class unit (clsOrder) as described in
QUESTION 3.1.1 to QUESTION 3.1.4.
3.1.1 Write a constructor method called Create that will receive the item name,
item type, price class and preparation time as parameters and will assign the
values to the appropriate class attributes. Set the fcost attribute to 0. (6)
3.1.2 Write a mutator method setOrder to receive the item name, item type,
preparation time and cost as parameters and to assign the values to the
appropriate class attributes. (6)

3.1.3 Rachel’s Kitchen uses three price classes listed and calculated as follows:
1 : Cost = R3.50 x PrepTime in minutes
2 : Cost = R5.65 x PrepTime in minutes
3 : Cost = R7.80 x PrepTime in minutes
Exception! : If the item is a T-bone & Chips the cost is
R145.00 regardless of preparation
time.
Write a method called CalcCost that will determine, using the formula
above, and assign the resulting cost of a dish (Order object) to the fCost
attribute. Use the fPriceClass attribute to determine the price class (1, 2, 3
or exception) for the Order object. (8)
3.1.4 Complete the toString method to include:
Only cash will be accepted if the total cost is less than R50.00, else
a credit card or cash can be used. Generate and add an appropriate
message to the return string of the method.
An example of the return string:

Information Technology/P1 5 FEBRUARY 2025
The following class scope variables are declared:
A text file (Menu.txt) has been supplied in the data folder. Each line in the
text file contains the unprocessed information of an item / meal that can be
ordered.
The CallObject method reads the text file and retrieves the type, the name
and the price class of every meal, as well as the time to prepare the meal.
The Info object is an instance of the declared and compiled TInfo class.
3.2.1 Button [Question 3.2.1]
Add code to the incomplete btnQ3_2_1 event handler to:
o call the CallObject method,
o instantiate objOrder by calling the constructor method of the class
TOrder with the following arguments tempName, tempType,
tempPrep, tempClass,

o to call the appropriate methods of the objOrder object to display the
type, name and cost of a meal in the listbox lbxList.
Example of correct output:
(10)
3.2.2 Button [Question 3.2.2]
The user must select an item / meal from the list in the lbxList component
before the meal information can be retrieved and displayed in the provided
redDisplay component.
Add code to the incomplete btnQ3_2_2 to do the following:
o Instantiate the Info object with the item / meal selected in the listbox
as argument by calling the create method in the TInfo class which
receives a single string as parameter.
NOTE: use the constant variable SelectedMeal if you can’t retrieve
the selected meal from the listbox.
o Call the GetInfo method for the Info object with the following
arguments: tempName, tempType, tempPrep, tempCost.
o Call the appropriate methods for the objOrder object to display the
information of the selected meal from the listbox in the redDisplay
component.
