Chapter 16, Problem 16PC

Program Plan Intro

Employee and ProductionWorker class

Program plan:

source.cpp:

• Include the required header files to the program.
• Declare the required function prototype.
• Define the “main()” function.
  • Create the pointer and call the “create_Production_Worker” function with employee data.
  • If the pointer is not null, then Call the function “display()” to display the employee details.
• Function definition for function “create_Production_Worker”.
  • Create an object for “ProductionWorker” class and pass the employee data.
  • Construct catch blocks for handling “InvalidEmployeeNumber”, “InvalidShift” and “InvalidPayRate”.
• Function definition for function “display()”.
  • Display the name, number, hire date, shift name, shift number and pay rate using the respective function.

Employee.h:

• Define the “Employee.h”.
  • Define an empty “InvalidEmployeeNumber” exception class.
  • In private, declare the required variable.
  • In public, create the constructor and return the name, number and hire date.
  • Create a mutator function for name, number and hire date.
  • Create an accessor function for name, number and hire date.

ProductionWorker.h:

• Define the “ProductionWorkder.h”.
  • Define an empty “InvalidShift” exception class.
  • Define an empty “InvalidPayRate” exception class.
  • Create a “ProductionWorker” which is derived from “Employee” class.
  • In private, declare the required variable.
  • In public, create a default constructor which initializes the “shift” and “rate” as “0” and “0.0” respectively.
  • Invoke the constructor “productionWorker” which also calls the “Employee” constructor.
    • Assign the “shift” and “rate” as “empShift” and “empPayRate” respectively.
  • Create a mutator function for shift name, rate and shift number.
  • Create an accessor function for shift name, rate and shift number.
  • Create a bool() function to check the employee shift number and pay rate. If it is not valid, then call its relevant exception.
