Hello,
I have an assignment for class that I have been working on and am nearly there. First of all, here is the description of the assignment:
"Employee and ProductionWorker Classes
Design a class named Employee. The class should keep the following information in member variables:
Employee name
Employee number
Hire Date
Write one or more constructors and the appropriate accessor and mutator functions for the class.
Next, write a class named ProductionWorker that is derived from the Employee class. The ProductionWorker class should have member variables to hold the following information:
Shift (an integer)
Hourly pay rate (a double)
The workday is divided into two shifts: day and night. The shift variable will hold an integer value representing the shift that the employee works. The day shift is shift 1 and the night shift is shift 2. Write one or more constructors and the appropriate accessor and mutator functions for the class. Demonstrate the classes by writing a program that uses a ProductionWorker object."
Phew! Sorry that was so long. So, I've written this program and it builds with no errors or warnings and when I run it, it seems to do everything it should except display the Employee's Name. All it displays for that is some weird symbol of something...
I will paste my code here and if anyone notices where I've messed up, could you please point me in the right direction? Thanks. Here's my code:
//This program demostrates a class and a derived class with constructors.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>
using namespace std;
class Employee
{
private:
char EmpName;
int EmpNum;
int HireDate;
public:
void setEmpName(char);
void setEmpNum(int);
void setHireDate(int);
char getEmpName() const;
int getEmpNum() const;
int getHireDate() const;
Employee();
};
void Employee::setEmpName(char x)
{
EmpName = x;
}
void Employee::setEmpNum(int y)
{
EmpNum = y;
}
void Employee::setHireDate(int z)
{
HireDate = z;
}
char Employee::getEmpName() const
{
return EmpName;
}
int Employee::getEmpNum() const
{
return EmpNum;
}
int Employee::getHireDate() const
{
return HireDate;
}
Employee::Employee()
{
cout << "I will ask you some questions about an employee.\n\n";
}
class ProductionWorker : public Employee
{
private:
int Shift;
double HourlyPayRate;
public:
void setShift(int);
void setHourlyPayRate(double);
int getShift() const;
double getHourlyPayRate() const;
ProductionWorker();
};
void ProductionWorker::setShift(int a)
{
Shift = a;
}
void ProductionWorker::setHourlyPayRate(double b)
{
HourlyPayRate = b;
}
int ProductionWorker::getShift() const
{
return Shift;
}
double ProductionWorker::getHourlyPayRate() const
{
return HourlyPayRate;
}
ProductionWorker::ProductionWorker()
{
cout << "After answering the questions,\n";
cout << "I will display the employee's information.\n\n\n";
}
int main()
{
ProductionWorker info;
char name[100];
int num;
int date;
int shift;
double rate;
cout << "What is the employee's name? ";
cin.getline(name, 100);
cout << "What is the employee's number? ";
cin >> num;
cout << "What is the employee's hire date?\n";
cout << "(Month, day, and year without any slashes,\n";
cout << "dashes, commas, or other punctuation.)\n";
cout << "For example, January 14, 1983 would look like 01141983. ";
cin >> date;
cout << "Does the employee work shift 1 or shift 2? ";
cin >> shift;
cout << "How much does the employee make per hour? ";
cin >> rate;
info.setEmpName(name[100]);
info.setEmpNum(num);
info.setHireDate(date);
info.setShift(shift);
info.setHourlyPayRate(rate);
cout << "\n\nHere is the employee's data:\n\n";
cout << "Employee's Name: " << info.getEmpName() << endl;
cout << "Employee's Number: " << info.getEmpNum() << endl;
cout << "Employee's Hire Date: " << info.getHireDate() << endl;
cout << "Employee's Shift: " << info.getShift() << endl;
cout << setprecision(2) << fixed;
cout << "Employee's Hourly Pay Rate: $" << info.getHourlyPayRate() << endl << endl;
return 0;
}PS: I'm still new to these forums and last time I made a post, I was called out on not using the code tags. I tried to make sure I used them this time. I hope I did it correctly.
