Chapter 11, Problem 2PP
Define a class for rational numbers. A rational number is a number that can be represented as the quotient of two integers. For example, 1/2, 3/4, 64/2, and so forth are all rational numbers. (By 1/2, etc., we mean the everyday meaning of the fraction, not the integer division this expression would produce in a C++ program.) Represent rational numbers as two values of type int, one for the numerator and one for the denominator. Call the class Rational.
Include a constructor with two arguments that can be used to set the member variables of an object to any legitimate values. Also include a constructor that has only a single parameter of type int; call this single parameter wholeNumber and define the constructor so that the object will be initialized to the rational number wholeNumber/1. Also include a default constructor that initializes an object to 0 (that is, to 0/1).
Overload the input and output operators >> and <<. Numbers are to be input and output in the form 1/2, 15/32, 300/401, and so forth. Note that the numerator, the denominator, or both may contain a minus sign, so −1/2, 15/32, and −300/−401 are also possible inputs. Overload all of the following operators so that they correctly apply to the type Rational: ==, <, <=, >, >=, +, −, *, and /. Also write a test program to test your class.
(Hints: Two rational numbers a/b and c/d are equal if a*d equals c*b. If b and d are positive rational numbers, a/b is less than c/d provided a*d is less than c*b. You should include a function to normalize the values stored so that, after normalization, the denominator is positive and the numerator and denominator are as small as possible. For example, after normalization 4/−8 would be represented the same as −1/2. You should also write a test program to test your class.)

Write C++ code of class Complex that would represent a complex number. A complex number consists of a real part and an imaginary part and usually displayed in the form + ἰ (a is real part while b is imaginary). This class should consists of void show( ) to display the complex number in the form a+ bi ( if imaginary part is positive) or a – bi ( if imaginary part is negative), void input( ) to assign values to the object of the Complex class. This Complex class should have two constructors i.e. default and parameterized. The object instantiated using default constructor should call input() to assign value to the real and imaginary part of the object. Also write code to overload + operator to add two complex numbers (objects). Comment your program properly and mention mutator and accessor as well. All functions should be inline except the constructors. Use this pointer wherever class data members are referred.

Write a program that converts a number entered in Roman numerals to a positive integer. Your program should consist of a class, say, romanType. An object of type romanType should do the following:
Store the number as a Roman numeral.
Convert and store the number as a positive integer.
Print the number as a Roman numeral or positive integer as requested by the user. The integer values of the Roman numerals are: M 1000D 500C 100L 50X 10V 5I 1
Test your program using the following Roman numerals: MCXIV, CCCLIX, and MDCLXVI.
Write a C++ code for this.

No matter how you hate it, you always have to do it since you have no other choice. Given (1) an array of prices of the items, (2) another array of the items the customer wishes to take back, and (3) the customer's payment, print the change of the customer. Input: The first number indicates the number of items "n" brought to the cashier. The next "n" numbers are the prices of the items. The next number indicates the number of items "m" that the customer wants to take back and not proceed. It is assured that 0 <= m <= n. The next "m" numbers are the items to be void that ranges from item 1 to item "n". The final number is the customer's payment. It is also assured that the given payment >= final price of items.

Static type checking occurs at compile-time, while dynamic type checking occurs at runtime. ○ Static type checking is faster than dynamic type checking. Dynamic type checking ensures that the program will not crash. Static type checking allows types to change during execution.arrow_forward
- Help write the code for the follwing problem starting from scratch Write a complete C++ program in three files here that asks the user to enter a radius for a circle then calculates and prints its' area. The area should be calculated using the formula area = 3.14 * radius * radius. You must have a class called Circle that stores the radius as a double value and can calculate its' own area via a method called calcArea that takes no parameters and returns the area. The circle class may not print the area or radius! Hint: calcArea should take no parameters and return a double. For this version, make radius private and write setter (mutator) and getter (accessor) methods and/or constructors as needed to modify (set) and retrieve (get) the value of radius. Input Validation: If a negative radius is passed to an object of the Circle class, whether through a setter or a constructor, set the radius to 0 instead of using the negative value.
