Sprint Challenge Overview
This sprint challenge combines concepts from all four modules, allowing you to demonstrate your understanding of custom exceptions, dependency injection, and linked list implementations in a comprehensive project.
What to Expect
-
Custom Exceptions: Design and implement a hierarchy of custom exceptions for error cases, with proper serialVersionUID and constructor signatures. Apply exception chaining to preserve error context.
-
Dependency Injection: Implement Dagger dependency injection to create a loosely coupled architecture. Set up modules, components, and appropriately scoped dependencies.
-
Advanced DI Patterns: Apply advanced patterns like @Binds and appropriate scoping to create an efficient dependency graph.
-
Linked List Operations: Implement and analyze a custom linked list with focus on the time complexity of different operations. Compare with array-based implementations for specific scenarios.
Assessment Criteria
Your solution will be evaluated based on correctness, code quality, appropriate use of patterns, and your ability to explain design decisions. Focus on applying the learning objectives from all modules:
- Creating appropriate exceptions for specific error cases
- Implementing effective dependency injection with proper scoping
- Designing efficient linked list implementations
- Analyzing time complexity for different data structure operations
