Chapter 7, Problem 1PP
Define a class called Month that is an abstract data type for a month. Your class will have one member variable of type int to represent a month (1 for January, 2 for February, and so forth). Include all the following member functions: a constructor to set the month using the first three letters in the name of the month as three arguments, a constructor to set the month using an integer as an argument (1 for January, 2 for February, and so forth), a default constructor, an input function that reads the month as an integer, an input function that reads the month as the first three letters in the name of the month, an output function that outputs the month as an integer, an output function that outputs the month as the first three letters in the name of the month, and a member function that returns the next month as a value of type Month. Embed your class definition in a test
Expert Solution & Answer
Program Plan Intro
Program plan:
1 . The following variables are used in the program:
- monthvariable of integer data type is used to store the month.
2. The following methods are used in the program:
- Default constructor.
- Constructor having one integer argument.
- Constructor having three characters arguments.
- input() function to take the month number from the user.
- inputMonthLetter() function to take the month's first three letters from the user.
- getMonth() function to return the month number.
- outputMonthLetter() function to display the month first three-letter.
- nextMonth() function to return the next month.
Program description:
The main purpose of the program is to create the constructor to initialize the class member variable using the integer argument and the first three letters of the month. Also, display the next month. Test all the class member functions in a test program.

Explanation:
In the above program, a default constructor is created which initializes the variable month. Another constructor that takes an integer parameter also initializes the variable month. A third constructor takes three-character arguments. This constructor matches these arguments with the first three letters of each month and then initializes the variable month accordingly.
Inside the main() method, objects of the class Month are created. The input() method is used to take user input for the month in the form of an integer. The outputMonthLetter() is used to output the first three letters of the month corresponding to the user input. The nextMonth() function returns the month in the form of the object of the class Month. The inputMonthLetter() method is used to take user input for the first three letters of the name of the month. This method calls the parameterized constructor that takes three-character arguments.The getMonth() method returns the variable month. The nextMonth() function returns the month in the form of the object of the class Month.
