Your task

You are to use our new inheritance framework to introduce a new kind of fish, which we name a DarterFish, into our simulation. A DarterFish should have the following behavior:

• If the fish can move two steps forward, it will. (This requires that both the first and second locations be empty.)
• Otherwise, if the fish can move one step forward, it will.
• Otherwise, the fish will go either left or right if possible (choosing with equal probability when both options exist).
• The fish will never move backward.

To get you started, we have created a new distribution of the code base, available as partIII.zip, or on turing at /Public/goldwasser/146/partIII

We have stubbed out files darterfish.h and darterfish.cpp, but the project will not compile as given.

We have also modified the driver so that the input data file can be used to specify which type each fish is (0=standard, 1=biased, 2=darter). In the example fish.dat file, fishes A-D are standard, E-H are biased, and I-L are darter.

Submitting your project

Your assignment should be submitted electronically (details on the submission process).

For this assignments, you should only be modifying (and thus submitting) files darterfish.h and darterfish.cpp. Please also submit a "readme" text file that describes the changes you have made.
