The maximum allowable deflection of a beam depends on its function. For a floor, the typical maximum allowable deflection, in inches, is Dmax = L/240, while for a roof beam Dmax = L/180, where L is the length of the beam in inches. Using these formulas, write a c++ program and test a function named maxdeflect() that accepts the length of a beam, in feet, and the type of beam (floor or roof) as a character code, and returns the maximum allowable deflection. Make sure our function is called from main() and correctly returns a value to main(). Have main() use a cout statement to display the value returned. Test the function by passing various data to it.
