Overview

This project implements a simulation of a growing fruit garden using manually managed, memory-efficient data structures in pure C++. The program models a garden consisting of trees, branches, and fruits.

Features

Custom Data Structures

• Implementation uses linked lists
• Manual memory management using raw pointers.
• Structures are designed with efficiency and clarity in mind.

TREE_CLASS (Tree)

• Each tree has a unique ID and a specific height.
• Branches can grow at specified heights.
• Supports fading, growing, and harvesting operations.

BRANCH_CLASS (Branch)

• Each branch has a defined length.
• Can hold a list of fruits.
• Can be cloned or harvested.

FRUIT_CLASS (Fruit)

• Each fruit has a weight and length.
• Attached to a specific branch.
• Can grow, fade (reduce weight), or be plucked.

Implemented Functionality

GARDEN_CLASS

• getWoodsTotal() – Returns the number of trees in the garden.
• getBranchesTotal() – Returns the number of branches across all trees.
• getFruitsTotal() – Returns the number of fruits in the garden.
• getWeight() – Returns the total weight of fruits in the garden.
• add() – Adds a new tree with the smallest available ID.
• extendWood(unsigned int) – Grows a new branch at a specified height.
• fadeGarden() – Calls fade operations across the entire garden.
• harvestGarden(unsigned int) – Harvests all fruits above a specified height.
• cutBranch(unsigned int) – Removes all fruits from branches of specified length.

WOOD_CLASS

• getBranchesTotal() – Returns number of branches in the tree.
• getFruitsTotal() – Returns number of fruits in the tree.
• getWeight() – Returns total weight of fruits in the tree.
• extendWood(unsigned int) – Grows a branch at a given height.
• fadeBranch(unsigned int) – Decreases fruit weights on branches of given length.
• harvestBranch(unsigned int) – Removes fruits above given length.
• cutBranch(unsigned int) – Removes all fruits from branches of given length.
• clone(const BRANCH_CLASS*) – Clones a given branch and attaches it to this tree.

BRANCH_CLASS

• getFruitsTotal() – Returns number of fruits on the branch.
• getWeight() – Returns total fruit weight on the branch.
• growthBranch() – Increases fruit weight by 1.
• fadeBranch() – Decreases fruit weight by 1.
• pluckBranch() – Resets weight of all fruits to zero.
• cutBranch() – Removes all fruits from the branch.

FRUIT_CLASS

• getLength() – Returns the fruit’s length.
• getWeight() – Returns the fruit’s weight.
• growthFruit() – Increases weight by 1.
• fadeFruit() – Decreases weight by 1 (minimum 0).
• pluckFruit() – Resets weight to 0.
• getBranchPointer() – Returns a pointer to the parent branch.
• getNext() / setNext() – Used for linked list structure.
• setParent() – Updates the parent branch reference.
