Class Access Modifiers:
The feature of object oriented
There are three access specifiers used in the class to restrict the access of members inside the class. They are as follows:
- Public
- Protected
- Private
For classes and members, the default access specifier is “private”.
Sample code:
/* class Base defines the member functions and variables with appropriate access modifiers */
class Base
{
public:
//public members
protected:
// protected members
private:
// private members
};
Explanation of Solution
Private members:
From outside of a class, a member variable that is private could not be accessed, or viewed. Class could access members that are private and friend functions only.
By default, class members are private, for example in class given below “width” denotes a private member, which denotes that until a label is provided to a member, it would be assumed as a private member:
/* class lBox defines member functions “lsetWidth” and “lgetWidth”*/
class lBox
{
// Variable declarations
double lwidth;
public:
// Variable declarations
double length;
// Member function declarations
void lsetWidth( double lwid );
double lgetWidth( void );
};
The data is defined in private members, and related functions are defined in public section, so that it could be called from outside of a class, as shown in below program.
This program shows the usage of “Private” access modifier, in which member variables could not be accessed from outside of class.
// Select header files
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
Declare the class lBox that defines the member functions “lsetWidth()” and “lgetWidth()” to set and return the width for box.
//Create the class
class lBox
{
public:
// Variable declarations
double length;
// Member function declarations
void lsetWidth( double lwid );
double lgetWidth( void );
private:
// Variable declarations
double lwidth;
};
Define the member function lgetWidth() to return width of box...
Explanation of Solution
Protected members:
A protected member function or variable denotes similarity to a private member. That is, from outside of a class, accessing a member variable or function that is protected is not possible.
- An additional benefit is that they can be accessed within child classes which are known as derived classes.
- In below example, “width” member could be accessed by the derived class “SmallBox” member function.
This program shows the usage of “Protected” access modifier, in which member variables could not be accessed from outside of a class, but it could be accessed within child classes which are termed as derived classes.
// Select header files
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
Declare the class lBox that defines the variable “width” to set and return the width for box.
// class lBox defines “width” as a protected variable”
class lBox
{
protected:
// Variable declarations
double width;
};
Declare the class “SmallBox” that defines the member functions “lsetSmallWidth()” and “lgetSmallWidth()” to set and return the width for box...

Problem Description: • • Design a class named Person and its two subclasses named student and Employee. • Make Faculty and Staff subclasses of Employee. • A person has a name, address, phone number, and e-mail address. • • • A person has a class status (freshman, sophomore, junior and senior). Define the status as a constant. An employee has an office, salary, and date hired. A faculty member has office hours and a rank. A staff member has a title. Override the toString() method in each class to display the class name and the person's name. 4-1. Explain on how you would code this program. (1 point) 4-2. Implement the program. (2 point) 4-3.

The warranty states that if the device fails during its first year of use, you get a new device for no cost, and this new device carries exactly the same warranty. However, if it fails after the first year of use, the warranty is of no value. You plan to use this device for the next six years. Therefore, any time the device fails outside its warranty period, you will pay $300 for another device of the same kind. (We assume the price does not increase during the six-year period.) The time until failure for a device is gamma distributed with parameters α = 2 and β = 0.5. (This implies a mean of one year.) Use @RISK to simulate the six-year period. Include as outputs (1) your total cost, (2) the number of failures during the warranty period, and (3) the number of devices you own during the six-year period.

To manage its operations efficiently, the company is looking for a program that can help track its fleet, manage bookings, and calculate revenue for each cruise. Each cruise is tracked by a Cruise Identifier (must be 5 characters long), cruise route (e.g. Miami to Nassau), and ticket price. The program should also track how many tickets have been sold for each cruise. Create an object-oriented solution with a menu that allows a user to select one of the following options: 1. Create Cruise – This option allows a user to create a new cruise by entering all necessary details (Cruise ID, route, ticket price). If the maximum number of cruises has already been created, display an error message. 2. Search Cruise – This option allows to search a cruise by the user provided cruise ID. 3. Remove Cruise – This op…arrow_forwardI need to know about the use and configuration of files and folders, and their attributes in Windows Server 2019.arrow_forward
- Southern Airline has 15 daily flights from Miami to New York. Each flight requires two pilots. Flights that do not have two pilots are canceled (passengers are transferred to other airlines). The average profit per flight is $6000. Because pilots get sick from time to time, the airline is considering a policy of keeping four *reserve pilots on standby to replace sick pilots. Such pilots would introduce an additional cost of $1800 per reserve pilot (whether they fly or not). The pilots on each flight are distinct and the likelihood of any pilot getting sick is independent of the likelihood of any other pilot getting sick. Southern believes that the probability of any given pilot getting sick is 0.15. A) Run a simulation of this situation with at least 1000 iterations and report the following for the present policy (no reserve pilots) and the proposed policy (four reserve pilots): The average daily utilization of the aircraft (percentage of total flights that fly) The…arrow_forwardWhy is JAVA OOP is really difficult to study?arrow_forwardMy daughter is a Girl Scout and it is time for our cookie sales.

If a purchase is made, the revenue generated from the sale follows the Normal distribution with mean $18 and standard deviation $5.
