Homework 1

Classes

Write a program which contains C++ class definition for an abstract data type describing a bookstore inventory. Each book has the following attributes:

· Book title (Character String)

· Book Author (Character String)

· Book Price (Floating-point number having two decimal places)

· Count of books on hand (Integer)

The member functions are as follows:

· A constructor that is used to initialize all eight elements of the array (to any values you want)

· A display_all function that displays in a readable tabular form the contents of the entire book colection

· A modify function that, once called, prompts the user first for a book number (1 through 8) and then for a code (T, A, P, or C) indicating which attribute (title, author, price, or count) of the indicated book is to be changed; finally, the function should provide a prompt for the new value of the attribute.

· Your display function displays the information for a single book in your inventory.

Reasonable tests for valid input should be performed in the modify function. Write the declaration for an object named inventory of the type described by this class.

Submit your programs in the following format:

your_class.h, your_class.cpp and driver.cpp
