Question

1) Using the O-O Paradigm create a class in C++ for the object Dog

2) Implement ALL the behaviors  (member functions/methods- including any needed constructors, and helper methods ) of the class.

3) Write the necessary Client/Application/User program

The Client program should do the following:

a) create at least 4 objects.

b) show all the behaviors

Answer 1

• Complete program provided below is well commented for better understanding.
• Program follows all the instructions given in question.
• Program snippet is provided below the typed code to understand indentation of code.
• Output snippet for program is also attached below.

Program:

#include<iostream>
#include<string>
using namespace std;
/* Defining class Dog*/
class Dog
{
/* defining Dog class member variables */
private:
// NOTE: Other characters of dog can be added similarly if needed
string name;
int age;
char gender;
int size;
public:
// Dog class constructor
Dog(string n, int a, char g, int s)
{
name = n;
age = a;
gender = g;
size = s;
}

/* Defining Dog class methods to access members of class*/
string getName()
{
return name;
}
int getAge()
{
return age;
}
char getGender()
{
return gender;
}
int getSize()
{
return size;
}

// defining barking behavior of Dog
// NOTE: Here any other behavior or other member functions can be defined according to need
void bark()
{
cout<<"Bow-wow"<<endl;
}
};

// Defining main function/ driver function
int main()
{
// Creating 4 objects of Dog with their properties
Dog dog1("Puppy", 8, 'M', 6);
Dog dog2("Lucy", 7, 'F', 5);
Dog dog3("Tom", 8, 'M', 7);
Dog dog4("Daisy", 6, 'F', 6);

/* Printing description of Dog1 */
cout<<"Dog 1 description:"<<endl;
cout<<"Name: "<<dog1.getName()<<endl;
cout<<"Age: "<<dog1.getAge()<<endl;
cout<<"Gender: "<<dog1.getGender()<<endl;
cout<<"Size: "<<dog1.getSize()<<endl<<endl;

/* Printing description of Dog2 */
cout<<"Dog 2 description:"<<endl;
cout<<"Name: "<<dog2.getName()<<endl;
cout<<"Age: "<<dog2.getAge()<<endl;
cout<<"Gender: "<<dog2.getGender()<<endl;
cout<<"Size: "<<dog2.getSize()<<endl<<endl;

/* Printing description of Dog3 */
cout<<"Dog 3 description:"<<endl;
cout<<"Name: "<<dog3.getName()<<endl;
cout<<"Age: "<<dog3.getAge()<<endl;
cout<<"Gender: "<<dog3.getGender()<<endl;
cout<<"Size: "<<dog3.getSize()<<endl<<endl;

/* Printing description of Dog4 */
cout<<"Dog 4 description:"<<endl;
cout<<"Name: "<<dog4.getName()<<endl;
cout<<"Age: "<<dog4.getAge()<<endl;
cout<<"Gender: "<<dog4.getGender()<<endl;
cout<<"Size: "<<dog4.getSize()<<endl<<endl;

// Calling bark behavior of dog
cout<<"Dog 1 is barking: ";
dog1.bark();
cout<<"Dog 3 is barking: ";
dog3.bark();
}
