Introduction:
The objective of this
lab is to create a vector of Name objects that are initialized from a
file.
In addition, the object will be broken into a pair of
files.
Instructions:
Create a class called
Name which will be used by the main program, called NameDriver.cpp.
Separate the code into
2 files:
Name.h
contains the declaration. Please add ‘guardrails’ to your .h
file
Name.cpp
contains the implementation. Name.cpp has a #include “Name.h”
Each Name object
contains a first and last name.
Declare all the methods
and constructors (getters, setters, default constructors) in Name.h
Define and implement
the methods in the Name.cpp file.
In Name.h
Declare private data
members for the class, a first name (fname) and a last name (lname).
Do not worry about a middle name or initial.
Declare public members
getFirstName, getLastName, printName (prints firstName <space>
lastName, a default constructor and a constructor that takes a
string.
Add guards to this file
#ifndef NAME_H
#define NAME_H
…. Class definition
goes here
#endif
In Name.cpp
In the empty default
constructor, initialize the fname and lname to “First” and “Last”
respectively.
Create a constructor
that will initialize both fname and lname from a string (a full line)
which will have to be parsed.
For now, assume no
middle name.
Hint: Using find and
substr, find the index of the comma, and split the long string into
fname and lname.
Define the setters,
getters, and helper functions for this class as declared in the .h
file.
In NameDriver.cpp (main)
Open a file called NamesLastFirst.txt (actually has comma separated
values)
Read each line and pass
it to the Name constructor that takes a string.
Create a name object
for each and append it to a vector of name objects.
Print the vector in
reverse order: firstname lastname
Extra Credit: Create
the vector of pointers to Name objects.
Compile the code with:
g++
Name.cpp NameDriver.cpp -o name
Run the code with:
./name
File contents
(NamesLastFirst.csv):
Cyrus,Miley
Gaga,Lady
Grande,Ariana
Keys,Alicia
Mars,Bruno
Sheeran,Ed
Stiles,Harry
Swift,Taylor
Example Output:
Taylor Swift
Harry Stiles
Ed Sheeran
Bruno Mars
Alicia Keys
Ariana Grande
Lady Gaga
Miley Cyrus
