Question

In C++ Class creation: You have to create a simple class from scratch – You will need to create the member variables, constructors, accessors, mutators and one additional method. For this you will need to split the two sections up to show the declaration section and implementation section.

Answer 1

Code:

class Cat // begin declaration of the class

{

public: // begin public section

Cat(int initialAge); // constructor

int GetAge() const; // accessor function

void SetAge(int age); // mutator function

void Meow();

private:

int itsAge; // member variable

};

// constructor of Cat,

Cat::Cat(int age)

{

itsAge = age;

}

// GetAge, Public accessor function

// returns value of itsAge member

int Cat::GetAge() const

{

return itsAge;

}

// Definition of SetAge

// mutator function

void Cat::SetAge(int age)

{

// set member variable its age to

// value passed in by parameter age

itsAge = age;

}

// definition of Meow method

// action: Prints "meow" to screen

void Cat::Meow()

{

cout << "Meow.\n";

}
