Question

Background:

This assignment deals with inheritance. Inheritance is one of the major principles of object-oriented programming. In C++, one of the biggest goals is "code reuse". Inheritance accomplishes this. In order to get inheritance working in C++, you must get both the structure of your .h files as well as the implementation of your constructor correct. Constructor implementations must use an initialization list. Please review the book and the online content on these issues so you know how it works before you begin.

Project 13: Inherited FlashDrive

The purpose of this assignment is to work with exceptions and inheritance. Enhance the FlashDrive class so that the operators and other functions of the class throw subclassed exceptions when things go wrong, rather than just print out an error message. For example, if you wind up with a FlashDrive with a used value that exceeds its capacity, throw a OverflowingFlashDriveException, rather than just a "normal" std::logic_error. If you wind up with a negative used or capacity value, throw a UnderflowingFlashDrive Exception, rather than just a "normal" std::logic_error.

Please be sure that your subclasses call their parent class constructors.

I'd like you to enhance this class so that invoking its methods or operators potentially throw a custom exception, rather than just a std::logic_error. As you may recall, you can create a logic_error by passing a string value to its constructor. You say #include <stdexcept> to begin working with logic_error.

HINT: Recall that you can create a logic_error by passing a string message. For example,

  std::logic_error error( "Bad News" );

While not required with Visual Studio, please #include <stdexcept> when working with this class. Linux fans will require this include; its optional for Windows users but wont hurt anything if you do it.
