A proper use of the State design pattern (along with delegation) will lead to the happy consequence of not having any if statements in your Lab 7 code. If you are able to write Lab 7 without using if statements you will receive 10 points extra credit.
Incidentally, you are required to use the State design pattern for Lab 7.
My office hours this Friday November 16, 2001 are cancelled.
