## Third Assignment: Movie Explorer 🎬 + Rational Calculator 🧮
---
Welcome to Your Third Assignment in the Advanced Programming Course!
This assignment consists of two separate parts. You must complete both parts.
---
## Part 1: Rational Class (Rational Numbers)
In this part, you will implement a Rational class that supports basic mathematical operations.
A `RationalTest` class is provided.
+You can run it to verify that your implementation works correctly.
+Use it to test your logic before submitting.
Tasks:
Define fields for numerator and denominator
Implement addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as instance methods
Implement addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as static methods
Note: Detailed TODO comments are provided inside Rational.java.
Do NOT modify the constructor, simplify logic, or completed methods.
Only complete the TODO methods.
---
## Part 2: Movie Explorer 🎬 (Using API)
In this part, you will develop a Java application that fetches movie data from an API and allows users to browse and search movies.
### Files Provided
- `Movie.java`
- `Genre.java`
- `MovieService.java`
- `Main.java`
The `Genre` class is already implemented as a sample.
You must design and implement the `Movie` class yourself (fields, constructors, getters, setters, toString if needed).
We have already implemented two methods that call the API and return the raw JSON response as a `String`:
- `getGenresList()` → calls the API and returns the list of genres in JSON format.
- `getMoviesByGenreList(Long genreId, Long page)` → calls the API and returns the list of movies for a specific genre and page in JSON format.
Do NOT modify:
API URLs
`getGenresList()`
`getMoviesByGenreList()`
Only complete the TODO methods.
### Your Tasks
1. Complete the `Movie` class (fields, constructor, getters, and setters).
2. Write a method that receives the JSON string returned by `getMoviesByGenreList()` and converts it into a `List<Movie>`.
3. Write another method that displays the list of movies (for the selected genre) in a clean and readable format.
4. Implement a console menu in `Main` that allows the user to:
- View the list of genres
- Select a genre
- View movies for the selected genre (with pagination)
After completing `MovieService`, you must also complete the `Main` class
so the menu works correctly.
### Note
To understand what fields should exist in the `Genre` and `Movie` classes, it is recommended that you first call the two API methods once and inspect the raw JSON response. This will help you determine the exact structure of the data and define the appropriate class fields.
We implemented JSON parsing using **Gson** in the project.
However, the **Jackson dependency is also included**.
If you prefer, you are allowed to use Jackson instead of Gson.

## Objectives ✏️
By completing this assignment, you will:
Reinforce OOP concepts: class design, constructors, encapsulation, collections
Practice instance methods vs. static methods
Work with JSON parsing and REST APIs
Design a simple console-based menu
Improve Git workflow and project management
----
## Prerequisites ✅
Git
Java (version 23 or 25)
Maven as a package manager
---
## Tasks Summary 📝
Fork the repository and clone it locally
Create and switch to a development branch
Complete Part 1 (Rational.java) following the TODO comments
Complete Part 2 (Movie.java, Genre.java, MovieService.java, Main.java) following the TODO comments
Ensure the code compiles and runs correctly
Commit and push regularly
Submit a pull request from development to main
---
## Evaluation Criteria ⚖️
Functionality: Code compiles and runs without errors; all features work correctly
Code Quality: Clean, readable, well-structured code with proper naming
Understanding: You must be able to explain your implementation
---
## Bonus Tasks ✒️
1. Fetch and display movie information using movie ID
Implement movie search by ID. User enters an ID, program displays complete movie details.
### ⚠️ First: Add Missing Fields to Movie Class
The API returns more data than your current class supports. Add these fields:
- `actors`, `awards`, `director`, `imdb_id`, `imdb_votes`, `metascore`, `plot`, `rated`, `released`, `runtime`, `type`, `writer`
### Implementation Steps:
1. **Complete `getMovieById(movieId)`**
- Build request to: `https://api.meshcomp.ir/api/v1/movies/{movieId}`
- If status 200 → return JSON body, else → return null
2. **Complete `displayMovieDetails(movieId)`**
- Call `getMovieById()` → check for null
- Use Gson to parse JSON to Movie object (after adding fields above)
- Print formatted output (see example below)
### Example Output:
```
