Question

Use C++

Design a class to store measurements. The class should have two data items, feet and inches, both integers. The class must make sure that the number of inches never gets below zero or above 11. If inches is outside that range, adjust feet accordingly. (Yes this means feet might be a negative number.)

Create a default constructor and one which receives one integer, a number of inches.

Answer 1

CODE IN C++ :

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class measurement{
public:
int feet ;
int inches ;
measurement() //this is the default constructor which initializes the value of feet and inches to 0 //
{
feet = 0 ;
inches = 0;
}
measurement(int inches , int feet) //this is the constructor which receives two int values which will be assigned to inches and feet based upon the conditions//
{
if( inches > 11)
{
int a = inches/12 ;
int b = inches%12;
this->feet = feet + a ;
this->inches = inches + b ;
}
else if(inches >= 0 && inches <= 11) // checking the range in which inches lie because it should always be greater than 0 as mentioned in the question
{
this->inches = inches ;
this->feet = feet ;
}
}
};
