Question
Chapter 7.7, Problem 7.9CP
Program Plan Intro
Constructor:
Constructor is a function which initializes the instance of a class. It also initializes the values to the members after the memory space is allocated to objects.
- Whenever an object is generated, constructor is called by the compiler.
- It contains the same name of the class.
- A class can contain many constructors.
Constructor types:
There are 3 types of constructor. They are:
- Default:
- The default constructor does not contain any argument.
- Parameterized:
- The parameterized constructor contains arguments with it. It is also called as overloaded constructor.
- Copy:
- The copy constructor is used to take the values of the members of one object to another. It also takes argument with it.

TRUE OR FALSE:
In C++, comments that begin with the "multi-line" comment symbol can't be nested.
A member function of a class has access to only the public data members of the class.
If a C++ function does not take any parameters, parenthesis around the empty parameter list are still required.
The size of a pointer variable depends on the type that it is pointing to.
In C/C++, True or False:
A variable's type helps define the range of values that can be held by that type.
A variable's type helps define the operations that can be performed on that type.
A parameter that has a default value must be the first parameter listed in the function's parameter list.
In operator overloading, if you overload == as a nonmember function, you are allowed to pass one or
both objects as parameters
O True
False

Pretend to be working in the IT department for a corporation and have been tasked with developing an application to manage assigning people to a team. This process involves creating a team with a name and a purpose, the assignment of people in the team, and the assignment of a person to lead the team. Use inheritance to facilitate the reuse of code and operator overloading to allow the usage of familiar operators tailored specifically to the Person, TeamMember, and Leader classes. Composition is also demonstrated in using a Team class that contains objects of the TeamMember and Leader classes. You will need to develop several classes to maintain this information:Team, Person, TeamMember, Leader, and Date.
