public class Report

extends java.lang.Object

This class is made for containing and calculating on the evaluations that users write in. It's only input is a questionnaireID where the rest is taking from the database, and it is used by ReportOutput to generate a pdf document. The calculations done in this class is getting the newest evaluations and adding the multiplechoice answers together. There will only be get and creation of the report method in this Class because it's not the idea to change the data that is retrieved from the database.

Constructor Summary

Report()
Default Constructor for Report, with no inputs and values

Report(int questionnaireID)
Constructor for Report, this is the most used constructor for report it takes the questionnaireID as an input for knowing which quesionnaire to take, and calls 2 methods: getEvaluations(questionnaireID) and findTypeOfInnerAnswers()

Method Summary

void	cycleFreeTexts(int answerNumber, int evaluationNumber) The method retrieves from the database and instantiate a tempAnswer from the evaluation evaluationNumber, where the tempAnswer is at the position answerNumber in the evaluations answers list.
void	cycleMultipleChoices(int answerNumber, int evaluationNumber) The method retrieves from the database and instantiate a tempAnswer from the evaluation evaluationNumber, where the tempAnswer is at the position answerNumber in the evaluations answers list.
void	findTypeOfInnerAnswers() The method is called after the evaluations are put into order, where it goes through each usable evaluation and finds out which type of answer it contains, which are send to their cyclemethod for their type.
int	getAllEvaluationsSize() The method returns the size of the Arraylist allEvaluations that contains the reference to all evaluations taken from the database
void	getEvaluations(int questionnaireID) Method getEvaluations, this method runs through all evaluations for that questionnaire and takes out each of them and compares them with the ones already in the ArrayList usableEvaluations.
java.util.ArrayList	getInnerAnswerMultipleChoice() The method return the ArrayList innerAnswerMultipleChoice which contains the references to the instances of InnerAnswerMultipleChoice in the report
int[]	getInnerAnswerMultipleChoiceDistribution(int j) The method gets the instance of the type InnerAnswerMultipleChoice at the index j in the ArrayLisy innerAnswerMultipleChoice.
