Chapter 8, Problem 3P
Create a base class called Vehicle that has the manufacturer's name (type string), number of cylinders in the engine (type int), and owner (type Person given in Listing 8.1). Then create a class called Truck that is derived from Vehicle and has additional properties: the load capacity in tons (type double, since it may contain a fractional part) and towing capacity in tons (type double). Give your classes a reasonable complement of constructors and accessor methods, and an equals method as well. Write a driver program (no pun intended) that tests all your methods.

Problem: Create a base class called Vehicle that has the manufacturer’s name (typeString), number of cylinders in the engine (type int), and the owner (type Person). Use thePerson class developed this semester. Create a class automobile that is derived fromVehicle and has additional properties: number of passengers (type int) and weight in tons(type double). Create a class Truck which is derived from Vehicle and has additionalproperties: the load capacity in tons (type double, since it may contain a fractional part)and towing capacity in tons (type double). The classes should have:• Two constructors, a default and an overloaded constructor• All appropriate accessor and mutator methods (getters and setters).• An ‘equals’ method (must conform to the Person example and the Object class ).• A ‘toString’ method• A ‘copy’ constructor• A ‘clone’ method• A ‘finalize’ method
Write a driver (client/test) class that tests ALL the methods. Be sure to invoke each of the constructors, and ALL…
Take the following code snippets (see below) and put them into a class called Employee.
Then create two concrete (non-abstract) classes: Cashier and Supervisor
Set the base salary of cashiers to be $30,000. Set the base salaries of supervisors to be $60,000. (use their constructors to do this).
Create different methods for getMontlySalary() for the Cashier and Supervisor classes.
a) for the Cashier class, just divide the basic salary by 12 to get the monthly.
b) for the Supervisor class, also add a 10% bonus. So a supervisor before any
raises would earn $5500 per month. (60,000/12 + 10%)
Create an employee tester class. Add an array of 10 employees. put 8 cashiers and 2 supervisors into the array. Print out the complete records of all 10 employees using a for loop. (Hint: Overload the toString() on all Employee class).
abstract class Employee {private String name, address;
private int basicSalary;public String getName(){ return name; }public String getAddress(){ return address;…
Define a class named Employee. This class should extend the Person class from the previous question. The class should have a constructor, which takes the name, age, employer (String) and salary (int) as parameters (in that order). The first two parameters should be passed to the constructor of the superclass and the value of the last two parameters should be stored in instance variables.
The class should define the methods, getSalary which returns the salary of the employee and getEmployer which returns the name of the employer.
Any methods from the previous question that need to be overridden should be overridden! Use super and instanceof as appropriate. I.e., for the following methods you should be able to call the method in the superclass for specific situations (e.g. the compareTo method in the superclass can be called if you receive anything other than an Employee, and this also holds for the equals method). The toString method only needs to append details and as such can also…

- Implement the Seller class as a derived class of Person class. Create the seller.h and seller.cppfiles for this class. The Seller class contains additional data members that hold a seller’s:o average star rating received from the buyers, ando total number of items sold.These data should be accessible by its derived classes. (should these data be private, public, orprotected?) The following methods are included in the seller class:• A default constructor and a copy constructor• A constructor that receives all of the data for a seller.(for the constructors, make sure to call the base class constructor as appropriate)• Appropriate get and set functions for the new data in this class• print() – overrides the base class print() to print the base class data and print all additionalseller data with appropriate messages. Make sure to call the base class print to print thebase class data.• read() – overrides the base class read() to read the base class data and reads all additionalseller data…arrow_forwardNOTE: READ CAREFULLY Design a class named Person and a subclasses named Employee. Make Teacher a subclass of Employee. A Person has a name, address, and e-mail address. An Employee has an office, salary. A Teacher has office hours and a subject they teach. They also have a tenure status. Define the tenure status as a constant. The tenure status is either Senior or Junior, and is represented as an integer, where Senior is equal to 1, and Junior is equal to 2. Each class should have a Default constructor, and a constructor that accepts all arguments. There should be appropriate calls to the superclass within the constructors. Each class should also have getters and setters for each member variable. Each class should have a toString method. Note: You do NOT need to run this in a test program. Just create the classes as indicated above.arrow_forwardConsider a class "Fan" with two integer data members, "state" (0/1 i.e. on or off) and "speed". 1. Write a parameterized Constructor for this class. 2. Write a member function "changeState( )" which behaves similar to pressing a button i.e. it should change the state of the fan. If it is off (0), calling the function should turn it on (1) and vice versa.. Multi Line Text.arrow_forward
- Every employee in a firm XYZ has attributes employeeid, name and salary. However the sales employees in firm XYZ has all the attributes of employees and also has an additional attribute named bonus. You are a software developer who has to the implement the relation between employee and sales employee. Write the code for classes employee and employee_sales. Write the constructors for both classes that set the attributes of both classes.arrow_forwardCreate a base class named Point consisting of x and y data members representing point coordinates. From this class, derive a class named Circle with another data member named radius. For this derived class, the x and y data members represent a circle’s center coordinates. The member functions of the Point class should consist of a constructor, an area() function that returns 0, and a distance() function that returns the distance between two points,(x1,y1) and (x2,y2), where Additionally, the derived class should have a constructor and an override function named area() (PI*pow(radius,2)) that returns a circle’s area. Task: 1-Include the classes constructed in a working C++ program. 2-Have your program call all the member functions in each class. 3- In addition, call the base class’s distance() function with two circle objects and explain the results this function returns.arrow_forwardCreate a class Mammal and another class WingedAnimal.

- Write a class Distance which has two private data members (int feet,float inches). The class has three constructors which are having no parameter - values of both feet and inches are assigned zero. having two numbers as parameters - the two numbers are assigned as feet and inches respectively. having one number as parameter - both feet and inches are assigned that number. Provide getters and setters for data members. Now write a main class which demonstrate the functionality of above class by calling all constructors, setters & getters. Create 1 object using default constructor, and use setters to set values, then getters to print values. Create a second object using constructor having two parameters, provide values, then print values on screen. Create third object by using third constructor having one parameter, after that print values on screen.arrow_forwardComplete the code for the following program. You are provided with an abstract class called abst. Create a class that will be a child of abst and it will be called usesAbst. Your program will have an int variable called value, and all the appropriate methods, as well 2 constructors. The first constructor will simply set the variable value to 0. The second constructor will set the variable value to equal a passed in parameter. You do not have to comment your code. public abstract class abst{ public abst () { } //Outputs to the screen the message Hello public abstract void sayHello (); //returns the stored int value public abstract int getValue (); //sets the int value to x public abstract void setValue (int x); //Outputs to the screen the message Another method public void output () { System.out.println("Another method"); public String tostring () { return "This is an abstract class"; }arrow_forwardDefine a class that captures airline tickets. Name the class as Airline Ticket. Each ticket lists the departure and arrival cities, a flight number, and a seat assignment. A seat assignment has both a row and a letter for the seat within the row (such as 12F). Include appropriate constructor, destructor and a print fucntion in your class definition. Make two examples of tickets and print the values using the print member function.arrow_forward
- Write a shoe class with the following attributes: color (e.g., "blue", "green", "orange") displayName (e.g., "nikes, adidas", "puma") price (e.g., 100, 200,60) Include only one constructor. It should have parameters for each of the attributes and set their values. Additionally, include getters and setters for each of the attributes. Add a driver, name it Purchases, and create 2 objects. Finally, print out some information about both objects (i.e., print the information from some or all of the getters). For example, if you created a shoe object whose color was blue, whose display name was shoes , for a price of 230, you could use the getters to print something like this:These work trousers are blue and cost $230arrow_forward1) Define a Person class containing two private attributes: last name, first name.
