C++ RUSH 2

C++

Automating Santa's gift-wrapping line, from a deliberately vague subject.

Santa Claus has had enough of his elves and wants to automate his gift-wrapping line. What makes this rush distinctive: the subject is deliberately opaque, you have to rebuild the rules yourself from a disorganised description. It is an exercise in functional analysis as much as in programming — exactly what you meet facing a real client.

A wrapping line simulator: an abstract Object / Toy / Wrap hierarchy (Teddy, LittlePony, Box, GiftPaper), Itable and IconveyorBelt workstations specialised into PapaXmasTable and PapaXmasConveyorBelt, an IElf chaining the gestures, and the two MyUnitTests functions imposed by the subject.
