Here is a statement: class temporary { public: void set(string, double, double); void print(); double manipulate(); void get(string&, double&, double&); void setDescription(string); void setFirst(double); void setSecond(double); string getDescription() const; double getFirst()const; double getSecond()const; temporary(string = "", double = 0.0, double = 0.0); private: string description; double first; double second; }; How can I write a definition of the member function manipulate that returns a decimal number as follows: If the value of description is "rectangle", it returns first * second; if the value of description is "circle", it returns the area of the circle with radius first; if the value of description is "sphere", it returns the volume of the sphere with radius first; if the value of description is "cylinder", it returns the volume of the cylinder with radius first and height second; otherwise, it returns the value -1.
Here is a statement:
class temporary
{
public:
void set(string, double, double);
void print();
double manipulate();
void get(string&, double&, double&);
void setDescription(string);
void setFirst(double);
void setSecond(double);
string getDescription() const;
double getFirst()const;
double getSecond()const;
temporary(string = "", double = 0.0, double = 0.0);
private:
string description;
double first;
double second;
};
How can I write a definition of the member function manipulate that returns a decimal number as follows: If the value of description is "rectangle", it returns first * second; if the value of description is "circle", it returns the area of the circle with radius first; if the value of description is "sphere", it returns the volume of the sphere with radius first; if the value of description is "cylinder", it returns the volume of the cylinder with radius first and height second; otherwise, it returns the value -1.
