Question

defined the class boxType by extending the definition of the class rectangleType. In this exercise, derive the class boxType from the class rectangleType, defined in Exercise 1, add the functions to overload the operators +,–, *, ==, !=, <=, <, >=, >, and pre- and post-increment and decrement operators as members of the class boxType. Also overload the operators << and >>. Overload the relational operators by considering the volume of the boxes. For example, two boxes are the same if they have the same volume.

Write the definitions of the functions of the class boxType as defined above and then write a test program that tests various operations on the class. It is showing that I failed to overload the *, ++, +, --, -, ==, and != operators.

Most of the code is done I am not getting this part

This is not in the correct format because you need to pass three parameters. You need to add #include "rectangleType.h".

boxType::boxType(double side)
{
    setDimension(side, side);
}

For example

void boxType::setDimension(double l, double w, double h)
{
    rectangleType::setDimension(l, w);

here is my code:

-------------------------boxType.cpp---

#include
#include

#include "boxType.h"

using namespace std;

boxType::boxType(double side)
{
    setDimension(side, side);
}

boxType::boxType()
{
    length = 0;
    width = 0;
}

boxType boxType::operator++()
{
        //increment the length and width
    ++length;
    ++width;

    return *this;   //return the incremented value of the object
}

boxType boxType::operator++(int u)
{
    boxType temp = *this; //use this pointer to copy
                                 //the value of the object
        //increment the length and width
    length++;
    width++;

    return temp;    //return the old value of the object
}

boxType boxType::operator--()
{
        //Decrement the length and width
    assert(length != 0 && width != 0);
    --length;
    width = length;

    return *this;    //return the incremented value of the object
}

boxType boxType::operator--(int u)
{
    boxType temp = *this; //use this pointer to copy
                                 //the value of the object

        //Decrement the length and width
    assert(length != 0 && width != 0);
    length--;
    width = length;

    return temp;    //return the old value of the object
}

boxType boxType::operator+
                          (const boxType& box) const
{
    boxType tempBox;

    tempBox.length = length + box.length;
    tempBox.width = tempBox.length;

    return tempBox;
}

boxType boxType::operator-
                          (const boxType& box) const
{
    boxType tempBox;

    assert(length >= box.length &&
           width >= box.width);

    tempBox.length = length - box.length;
    tempBox.width = tempBox.length;

    return tempBox;
}

boxType boxType::operator*(const boxType& box) const
{
    boxType tempBox;

    tempBox.length = length * box.length;
    tempBox.width = tempBox.length;

    return tempBox;
}

bool boxType::operator==
                      (const boxType& box) const
{
    return (area() == box.area());
}

bool boxType::operator!=
                       (const boxType& box) const
{
    return (area() != box.area());
}

bool boxType::operator<=
                       (const boxType& box) const
{
    return (area() <= box.area());
}

bool boxType::operator<
                       (const boxType& box) const
{
    return (area() < box.area());
}

bool boxType::operator>=
                       (const boxType& box) const
{
    return (area() >= box.area());
}

bool boxType::operator>
                       (const boxType& box) const
{
    return (area() > box.area());
}

ostream& operator<<(ostream& osObject,
                      const boxType& box)
{
    osObject << "Side = " << box.length;

    return osObject;
}

istream& operator>>(istream& isObject, boxType& box)
{
    isObject >> box.length;
    box.width = box.length;
    return isObject;
}
