Virtual Functions C++


Problem Statement :


This problem is to get you familiar with virtual functions. Create three classes Person, Professor and Student. The class Person should have data members name and age. The classes Professor and Student should inherit from the class Person.

The class Professor should have two integer members: publications and cur_id. There will be two member functions: getdata and putdata. The function getdata should get the input from the user: the name, age and publications of the professor. The function putdata should print the name, age, publications and the cur_id of the professor.

The class Student should have two data members: marks, which is an array of size 6 and cur_id. It has two member functions: getdata and putdata. The function getdata should get the input from the user: the name, age, and the marks of the student in 6 subjects. The function putdata should print the name, age, sum of the marks and the cur_id of the student.

For each object being created of the Professor or the Student class, sequential id's should be assigned to them starting from 1. 

Solve this problem using virtual functions, constructors and static variables. You can create more data members if you want.

Note: Expand the main function to look at how the input is being handled.

Input Format

The first line of input contains the number of objects that are being created. If the first line of input for each object is 1, it means that the object being created is of the Professor class, you will have to input the name, age and publications of the professor.

If the first line of input for each object is 2, it means that the object is of the Student class, you will have to input the name, age and the marks of the student in 6 subjects.

Constraints 

  1 <= age <= 80
  1 <= publicatons <= 1000
  0 <= marks <= 100 , where marks is the marks of the student in each subject.

Output Format

There are two types of output depending on the object.

If the object is of type Professor, print the space separated name, age, publications and id on a new line.

If the object is of the Student class, print the space separated name, age, the sum of the marks in 6 subjects and id on a new line.

                            Solution in C :

class Person {
protected:
    string name;
    int age;
public:
    static int prof_id;
    static int stud_id;
    virtual void getdata()=0;
    virtual void putdata()=0;
};

int Person::prof_id = 1;
int Person::stud_id = 1;

class Student : public Person{
public:
    int marks[6];
    int cur_id;
    Student() {
        cur_id = stud_id++;
    }
    void getdata() {
        cin >> name >> age;
        for(int i = 0; i < 6; ++i) cin >> marks[i];
    }
    void putdata() {
        int sum = 0;
        for(int i = 0; i < 6; ++i) sum += marks[i];
        cout << name << ' ' << age << ' ' << sum << ' ' << cur_id << endl;
    }
};

class Professor : public Person{
public:
    Professor() {
        cur_id = prof_id++;
    }
    int publications;
    int cur_id;
    void getdata() {
        cin >> name >> age >> publications;
    }
    void putdata() {
        cout << name << ' ' << age << ' ' << publications << ' ' << cur_id << endl;
    }
};

Left Rotation

A left rotation operation on an array of size n shifts each of the array's elements 1 unit to the left. Given an integer, d, rotate the array that many steps left and return the result. Example: d=2 arr=[1,2,3,4,5] After 2 rotations, arr'=[3,4,5,1,2]. Function Description: Complete the rotateLeft function in the editor below. rotateLeft has the following parameters: 1. int d

Sparse Arrays

There is a collection of input strings and a collection of query strings. For each query string, determine how many times it occurs in the list of input strings. Return an array of the results. Example: strings=['ab', 'ab', 'abc'] queries=['ab', 'abc', 'bc'] There are instances of 'ab', 1 of 'abc' and 0 of 'bc'. For each query, add an element to the return array, results=[2,1,0]. Fun

Array Manipulation

Starting with a 1-indexed array of zeros and a list of operations, for each operation add a value to each of the array element between two given indices, inclusive. Once all operations have been performed, return the maximum value in the array. Example: n=10 queries=[[1,5,3], [4,8,7], [6,9,1]] Queries are interpreted as follows: a b k 1 5 3 4 8 7 6 9 1 Add the valu

Insert a Node at the Tail of a Linked List

You are given the pointer to the head node of a linked list and an integer to add to the list. Create a new node with the given integer. Insert this node at the tail of the linked list and return the head node of the linked list formed after inserting this new node. The given head pointer may be null, meaning that the initial list is empty. Input Format: You have to complete the SinglyLink

Insert a Node at the head of a Linked List

Given a pointer to the head of a linked list, insert a new node before the head. The next value in the new node should point to head and the data value should be replaced with a given value. Return a reference to the new head of the list. The head pointer given may be null meaning that the initial list is empty.
