Implement and use an Interface
Create a Serializable interface consisting of
* Accept a stream or handle or descriptor argument for the source or destination
* Save to destination or restore from source the properties or data members of the implementing class (restrict yourself to the primitive types
Next, create a Person class which has
clojure
cpp
fsharp
groovy
java 1.3 and above
ocaml
python 2.6
scala
Submit a new solution for clojure, cpp, fsharp, groovy ...
There are 6 other solutions in additional languages (fantom, haskell, perl, php ...)
'save' and 'restore' methods, each of which:
* Accept a stream or handle or descriptor argument for the source or destination
* Save to destination or restore from source the properties or data members of the implementing class (restrict yourself to the primitive types
'int' and 'string')
Next, create a Person class which has
'name' and 'age' properties or data members and implements this interface. Instantiate a Person object, save it to a serial stream, and instantiate a new Person object by restoring it from the serial stream.
