Challenge: Mediator Pattern

Challenge: Mediator Pattern

In this challenge, you have to implement the mediator pattern to solve the given problem.

Problem statement

In this challenge, you need to use the mediator pattern to implement the HR of an office that mediates the communication between the employees (workers and managers).

You have been given the dummy code for the HR class. You need to define its constructor and the functions:

  • registerEmployee(employee): Registers an employee.

  • scheduleRaise(raise, worker, manager): Conveys the raise to the manager. Once the manager approves the raise, it gives the raise to the worker.

Now let’s look at the Manager and Worker classes. Both of them inherit from the Employee class (already defined for you). You need to do the following:

  • Define the constructor for both classes.

  • In Manager class, define the recieveMessage function. It should display the message received from the HR regarding the raise of the worker.

  • In Manager class, define the approveRaise function. It should display a message of approval of the raise, and return true after approval.

  • In the Worker class, define the recieveRaise function. It should increment the worker’s pay by the raise and display a message for the new pay.

Input

The scheduleRaise function is called

Output

The messages conveying the raise to the manager, manager approving the raise, and the final pay are displayed

Sample input

var hr = new HR()
var employee = new Worker(hr,"Joe","Developer",1400)
var manager = new Manager(hr,"Allen","Team Lead",3000)
hr.scheduleRaise(200,employee,manager)

Sample output

"Joe should get 200 dollar raise" //HR conveying the message to the manager
"Joe's 200 dollar raise is approved" //manager approving the raise
"My new pay is 1600 dollars" //worker announcing the new pay

Take a close look and design a step-by-step solution before jumping on to the implementation. This problem is designed for your practice, so try to solve it on your own first. If you get stuck, you can always refer to the solution provided. Good Luck!

class HR {
  //initialize the constructor here
  constructor(){
    //define the constructor
  }
  registerEmployee(employee){
   //write-code-here
  }
  
  scheduleRaise(raise,worker, manager){
    //write-code-here
  }
}
class Employee{
  constructor(hr,name,position,pay){
    this.hr = hr
    this.name = name
    this.position = position
    this.pay = pay 
  }
}
class Manager extends Employee{
    //initialize the constructor here
    constructor(){
     //define the constructor
  }
    recieveMessage(worker,raise){
     //write your code here
    }
    finalizeRaise(worker,raise){
     //write your code here
    }
}
class Worker extends Employee{
  //initialize the constructor here
  constructor(){
    //define the constructor
  }
  recieveRaise(raise){
    //write your code here
  }
}

Let’s discuss the solution in the next lesson.
