Question

C++ help. I just need to know what the array would look like from this code:

Given a class “Employee” with a method called “getBasePay()”, and 2 subclasses, “SalaryEmployee” and “ContractEmployee” that each define their own “getBasePay(), provide the code that creates an array called “payroll” of 3 Employees. The first 2 are SalaryEmployees and the third is a ContractEmployee. Then, provide the code that goes through the array and prints each Employees base pay that uses the appropriate “getBasePay()” method based on array element types

I need help with the array part. i am pretty bad at designing arrays. Thanks

Explanation / Answer

/**
C ++ program that demonstrates the creation of the pointer array for
Employee class and override getBasePay in child classes
SalaryEmployee and ContractEmployee .
*/
//test.cpp
//include header file
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;

//Base class Employee
class Employee
{
public:
   //declare a virtual ,method getBasePay
   virtual int getBasePay()
   {
       return 0;
   }
};

class SalaryEmployee : public Employee
{
public:
   //Overrite the method getBasePay
   //that return 10000 for salary employee
   int getBasePay()
   {
       return 10000;
   }
};

class ContractEmployee : public Employee
{
   public:
       //Overrite the method getBasePay
   //that return 8000 for salary employee
   int getBasePay()
   {
       return 8000;
   }
};

int main()
{

   //Cretae an array of pointer type Employee class
   Employee*emp[3];

   //Set salryEmployee object
   emp[0]=new SalaryEmployee();
   //Set salryEmployee object
   emp[1]=new SalaryEmployee();
   //Set ContractEmployee object
   emp[2]=new ContractEmployee();

   //Print getBasePay through emp pointer array
   for(int index=0;index<3;index++)
       cout<<emp[index]->getBasePay()<<endl;

   system("pause");
   return 0;
}

sample output:

10000

10000

8000
