Question

Design a personType class with the following attributes (variables), and behaviors (methods/functions).

Private

• Variables
  • string fName;
  • string lName;
  • string address:
  • double height (inches)
  • string DOB
  • char: gender

Public

• functions
  • setters for all of your data members (variables)
  • getters for all of your data members
  • print. This function will print "All of the persons' information".
  • equals which takes another personType object as a parameter and compares all its members. Returns true is identical.

Create a driver program that creates 5 different people. After creating the 5 different people, neatly print them.

For this assignment, you will be dynamically creating an array of personType's from our previous assignments. For now, this will only be able to deal with the base class and not any derived classes.

1. Prompt the user for the number of people to create, then create an array of personTypes to hold them.

2. Loop through the array, prompting the user to enter the data as necessary using the corresponding setters.

3. Finally, loop through the array again and call the print method for each person.

4. Deallocate the array and quit.

Run your program for 5 people. Upload the .cpp, .h files along with a screenshot. Ensure to fill out all the data for each person.

am i able to upload my cpp files that i already have for the previous assignment?

Answer 1

Please find the code below:

I have created 3 files, header file for class, .cpp file for the implemetation and driver (main.cpp) file

I have mentioned all the details in the comments.

personType.h

#ifndef _PERSON_TYPE
#define _PERSON_TPE
#include<string>
using namespace std;

//define class
class personType{

//public members of the class
public:
personType();
void setFname(string fname);
void setLname(string lname);
void setAddress(string address);
void setHeight(double value);
void setDOB(string dob);
void setGender(char g);

string getFname();
string getLname();
string getAddress();
double getHeight();
string getDOB();
char getGender();

void print();
bool equals(personType p);
//private members of the class
private:
string fName;
string lName;
string address;
double height;
string DOB;
char gender;
};

#endif

personType.cpp

//include header file
#include "personType.h"
#include<iostream>
#include<string>

using namespace std;

//default constructor
personType::personType(){
fName = "";
}

//set methods for all variables
void personType::setFname(string name){
fName = name;
}
void personType::setLname(string name){
lName = name;
}
void personType::setAddress(string value){
address = value;
}
void personType::setHeight(double value){
height = value;
}
void personType::setDOB(string dob){
DOB = dob;
}
void personType::setGender(char g){
gender = g;
}

//getter methods for all variables
string personType::getFname(){
return fName;
}
string personType::getLname(){
return lName;
}
string personType::getAddress(){
return address;
}
double personType::getHeight(){
return height;
}
string personType::getDOB(){
return DOB;
}
char personType::getGender(){
return gender;
}

//print method
void personType::print(){
cout<<"First Name:"<<fName<<endl;
cout<<"Last Name :"<<lName<<endl;
cout<<"Address :"<<address<<endl;
cout<<"Height :"<<height<<endl;
cout<<"DOB :"<<DOB<<endl;
cout<<"Gender :"<<gender<<endl<<endl;
}

//equals to check equality between objects
bool personType::equals(personType p){
if((fName==p.fName) && (lName==p.lName) && (address==p.address) && (height==p.height) && (DOB==p.DOB) && (gender==p.gender)){
return true;
}
return false;
}

main.cpp

#include<iostream>
#include "personType.cpp"
using namespace std;

int main(){
//get the number from the user
int n;
cout<<"Enter Number of people to be created: ";
cin>>n;
//dynamically create array of size n
personType **arr;
arr = (personType**)malloc(n*sizeof(personType*));
//variables
int i;
string val;
double h;
char c;
  
//loop to ask values from user
for(i=0;i<n;i++){
arr[i]= new personType();

cout<<"Please Enter First Name for person "<<(i+1)<<" :";
cin>>val;
arr[i]->setFname(val);

cout<<"Please Enter Last Name for person "<<(i+1)<<" :";
cin>>val;
arr[i]->setLname(val);

cout<<"Please Enter Address for person "<<(i+1)<<" :";
cin>>val;
arr[i]->setAddress(val);

cout<<"Please Enter Height for person "<<(i+1)<<" :";
cin>>h;
arr[i]->setHeight(h);

cout<<"Please Enter DOB for person "<<(i+1)<<" :";
cin>>val;
arr[i]->setDOB(val);

cout<<"Please Enter Gender for person "<<(i+1)<<" :";
cin>>c;
arr[i]->setGender(c);
}

//loop to print values
for(i=0;i<n;i++){
arr[i]->print();
}
//loop to deallocate array
for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
free (arr[i]);
//deallocate pointer of the array
free (arr);
return 0;
}

Output:
