Using C++ (not C) to create a class, X, consisting of three data members, a char

Question

Using C++ (not C) to create a class, X, consisting of three data members, a char*, an int, and a long. These data members are to be used to store a name (both first and last), an age, and a social security number. Add any necessary functions to your class. You do not have to write a copy constructor for this problem. Write an overloaded insertion operator so that you can print a class object. The overloaded insertion operator should display the members as:

The name should be left justified in a field of width 32.

The age should be right justified in a field of width 5 and displayed in hexadecimal with a base indicator.

The social security number should be left justified in field of width 12, displayed in decimal.

Instantiate a class object using your name, age (you can lie about your age), and social security number with a constructor that looks like this:

X object(“Joe Bentley”,25,123456789);

Use your insertion operator to write the X class object into an output file.
Turn in your program code and the output file.
main() should have only 4 lines, like this:

int main()
{
X object(“Joe Bentley”,25,123456789);    // your name, age, ssn
?
?
return 0;
}

Explanation / Answer

Constructor to print the values is:

X::X(char str,int age,long ssn) {
cout <<setw(32)<< left<<"First and last name" <<str<< endl;
cout <<setw(5)<<right<< "Age" <<age<< endl;
cout << setw<<(12)<<left<<"SSN" << aan<<endl;

}

To write the object in an output file, do the following:

string filename = "X.txt";

ofstream outfile;
outfile.open (filename.c_str(), ios::out | ios::app);
outfile.write ( (char *)(&X), sizeof(X) );
outfile.close();
