OOPs

In today's technology-driven world, computer programming skills are in high demand. The object-oriented programming (OOP) approach is very much useful while designing and maintaining software programs. Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a basic program…

Chapter 13, Problem 16PC

Freezing and Boiling Points

The following table lists the freezing and boiling points of several substances.

Substance	Freezing Point	Boiling Point
Ethyl alcohol	-173	172
Oxygen	-362	-306
Water	32	212

Design a class that stores a temperature in a temperature member variable and has the appropriate accessor and mutator functions. In addition to appropriate constructors, the class should have the following member functions:

• isEthylFreezing—This function should return the bool value true if the temperature stored in the temperature field is at or below the freezing point of ethyl alcohol. Otherwise, the function should return false.

• isEthyl Boi1ing—This function should return the bool value true if the temperature stored in the temperature field is at or above the boiling point of ethyl alcohol. Otherwise, the function should return false.

• isOxygenFreezing—This function should return the bool value true if the temperature stored in the temperature field is at or below the freezing point of oxygen. Otherwise, the function should return false.

• isOxygenBoi1ing—This function should return the bool value true if the temperature stored in the temperature field is at or above the boiling point of oxygen. Otherwise, the function should return false.

• isWaterFreezing—This function should return the bool value true if the temperature stored in the temperature field is at or below the freezing point of water. Otherwise, the function should return false.

• isWaterBoiling—This function should return the bool value true if the temperature stored in the temperature field is at or above the boiling point of water. Otherwise, the function should return false.

Write a program that demonstrates the class. The program should ask the user to enter a temperature, then display a list of the substances that will freeze at that temperature, and those that will boil at that temperature. For example, if the temperature is −20 the class should report that water will freeze and oxygen will boil at that temperature.

Scenario You work for a small company that exports artisan chocolate. Although you measure your products in kilograms, you often get orders in both pounds and ounces. You have decided that rather than have to look up conversions all the time, you could use Python code to take inputs to make conversions between the different units of measurement. You will write three blocks of code. The first will convert kilograms to pounds and ounces. The second will convert pounds to kilograms and ounces. The third will convert ounces to kilograms and pounds. The conversions are as follows: 1 kilogram = 35.274 ounces 1 kilogram = 2.20462 pounds 1 pound = 0.453592 kilograms 1 pound = 16 ounces 1 ounce = 0.0283 kilograms 1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds For the purposes of this activity the template for a function has been provided. You have not yet covered functions in the course, but they are a way of reusing code. Like a Python script, a function can have zero or more parameters. In the code window you…
