Summary
For this first assignment, you are expected to demonstrate the basics of OOP in a C++ context.
It is intentionally made “open ended” for you to explore possibilities.
Skills Expected
Basics of OOP (interfaces, object design, etc.)
Working with C++
Pointers
Operator overloads
Assignment Description
This assignment focuses on operator overloading but is non-prescriptive as to implementation. In other words, it’s up to you to design a class with which to demonstrate the required operator overloads.
Note: You will need a “Driver” class to demonstrate your code’s operations. A “Driver” class is “a program that does nothing but test a method.” In other words, you need a class with a main() that is used to test your created object and actions (e.g. operator overloads).
Object Design (6 points total)
Design an object with at least the following:
[2 Points] At least one arithmetic operand (+ - / *)
[2 Points] At least one compound operand (+= -= /= *=)
[2 Points] At least one comparison operand (== !=)
Driver Object (5 points total)
Demonstrate that the following works (e.g. display results to the screen in a coherent way)
[2 Points] Object creation/instantiation
[2 Points] At least one arithmetic operand (independent of the compound operand)
[2 Points] At least one compound operand
[2 Points] At least one comparison operand
[2 Points] Object destructor
Grading Criteria
[2 Points] Program compiles and runs
[6 Points] Object Design
[10 Points] Driver Object
[2 Points] Invariants enforced, comments in code
