M.Sc. (IT) DEGREE EXAMINATION, DECEMBER 2007. C++ LAB

(2002 onwards) Time : Three hours Maximum : 100 marks Answer TWO questions. All questions carry equal marks. Question are to be selected by the examiner for each candidate. Question I 1. Create a class called TIME that has integer data elements for hours, minutes, seconds. The constructors should initialize these data elements to specified value, if given and otherwise to 0. A member function should display it, in 11:50:45 format. The final member function should add two objects of type Time passed as arguments. Create a class DONOR that contains donor number, donor name, age address, sex, blood group. Write a Menu driven C++ program to display the number, name and address of the donors for the following categories (a) (b) (c) blood donors having the blood group O+ blood donors in the age group between 16 to 25 female donors having blood group A in the age between 19 and 24.

Question II 2. Assume you want to generate a table of multiples of any given number. Write a program that allows the user to enter the number, and then generates the table, formatting it into ten columns and 20 lines. Create a class called Employee that contains Employee number, employee name, designation, basic pay, deductions (LIC, PF). Include a member function to get data from user for n employees. Write a C++ program to prepare the payslips for n number of employees using the following details : D.A H.R.A Gpay Npay = = = = 40% of basic pay 25% of basic pay basic pay + D.A. + H.R.A. Gpay deductions

The result of problems is in given format : Emp. Emp. Basic D.A. H.R.A. L.I.C. P.F. Gpay Npay no name

Question III 3. Using dynamic constructors write C++ program to concatenate two given strings. Create a class called employee that contains a name and an employee number. Include a member function called getdata( ) to get data from the user, another function called putdata( ) to display the data. Write a main ( ) program to exercise this class. It should create an array of type employee and then invite the user to input data for n employees.

Question IV 4. Create a class Employee that contains a employee number, employee name and address. Write a Menu driven C++ program to get the n number of employee details and display all details in employee namewise sorted order. Create a C++ class for a stock item abstract datatype. It should have the attributes of stock levels (an integer) and unit price (a float). Define the methods to return the values of these two attributes and to set them using parameters. Add two more methods to allow stock receipt and issues updating the stocklevel as appropriate. Write a menu driven C++ program to solve the problem.

Cut here
Question V 5. Write a program to process students marks with the help of classes. The class has private variables for name, mark 1, mark 2, mark 3. It has two member function getdata ( ) to get input result ( ) to print the results. All subjects mark must be >= 50 for pass otherwise fail. Raising a number n to power p is the same as multiplying by itself t times. Write a function called power ( ) that makes a double value for n and an int value for p and returns the result as double value. Use default argument of 2

for p, so that if this argument is omitted, the number will be squared. Write a main( ) function that gets values from the user to test this function.

Question VI 6. Write a menu driven C++ program to add and subtract given two matrices of order m n defined in class, using operator overloading. Create a class Int to Overload all five integer arithmetic operators (+, , *, / and %). So that they operate on object of type Int. If the result of any such arithmetic operation exceeds the normal range of int's from 32,768 to 32,767 have the operator print a warning and terminate the program. Write a program to test this class.

Question VII 7. Using pointer create a class and write a program to get the n names and display them in sorted order. Write a program using polymorphism to calculate the square of any two numbers of type int, float, double and long.

Cut here
Question VIII 8. Using operator overloading, write a C++ program to find the different and total length of given two various tubes specified in meters and centimeters. Create a equivalent of a four-function calculator. The program should request the user to enter a number, an operator, and another number. It should then carry out the specified arithmetical operation : adding, multiplying, subtracting, dividing the two numbers. Finally it should display the result. When if finishes the calculation, the program should ask if the user wants to do another calculation.
