| • | Remember,
a class is simply a data type |
||||||||||
| • | It
corresponds to an “abstract data type” from CS163 |
||||||||||
| • | So,
identify classes by looking for nouns |
||||||||||
| • | For
example, for a message system nouns are: |
||||||||||
| mailbox,
message, user, passcode, extension, |
|||||||||||
| administrator,
mailsystem, menu |
|||||||||||
| • | BUT,
just because you find “nouns” doesn’t mean |
||||||||||
| they
are good choices for your classes! And, you may |
|||||||||||
| need
others that provide functionality behind the |
|||||||||||
| scenes |
|||||||||||
