C++ Write the definition for a class where you could be an object in the class.

Question

C++

Write the definition for a class where you could be an object in the class. So your name would end up being a variable name if someone were to use this class. Your class must have at least 2 member variables and at least one member function with its corresponding definition.

The obvious example would be a student class, with member variables like gpa, and number of credits received. The member function could be a gpa calculator. You can't use this example.

You don't need to actually write an executable program, just write a class that someone else could use to write a program. You should try to imagine a program that would use your class while writing the class definition.

Explanation / Answer

PROGRAM CODE:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

//Creating an Employee class which calculates the salary for the employee
//depending on the hoursworked
class Employee
{
   string employeeID;
   double salary;
   int hoursWorked;
  
   public:
   //constructor for initializing the values
   Employee(string id, int hours_worked)
   {
       employeeID = id;
       hoursWorked = hours_worked;
       salary = 0;
   }
   //calculating the salary
   double calculateSalary()
   {
       salary = hoursWorked*50;
   }
   //printing employee info
   void printEmployee()
   {
       cout<<"Emp ID: "<<employeeID<<" Hours worked: "<<hoursWorked;
       cout<<" Salary: "<<salary<<endl;
   }
  
};
//Main progrsm using the class
int main() {
   Employee michael("ED12343", 35);
   michael.calculateSalary();
   michael.printEmployee();
   return 0;
}
