1. Overview
In this project you will:
- Practice using C++ class syntax,
- Practice implementing member functions,
- Implement parent and child classes
- Use polymorphism and virtual functions
2. Background
Spring is in the air!
Many people find growing and maintaining a garden a wondering soothing and fulfilling activity starting in the early spring. Some people like to grow beautiful flowers to brighten up their otherwise dull days. Some people like to provide homegrown fruits and vegetables to their families. Still others just enjoy playing in the dirt.
For this project, we are going to build a digital garden. And just like a real garden, we are going to watch our plants grow and develop. The flowers will be able to flower and then die back. The vegetables will grow and can be harvested. The trees will grow very slowly and eventually bear fruit.
3. Assignment Description
Your assignment is to build an application that can simulate a garden complete with flowers, vegetables, and fruit trees. Each of these have a common parent - plant.
Here is a relationship diagram describing each of the classes:
1. For this project, we will be emphasizing inheritance, polymorphism, and overloaded operators.
2. All user inputs will be assumed to be the correct data type. For example, if you ask the user for an integer, they will provide an integer.
3. Regardless of the sample output below, all user input must be validated. If you ask for a number between 1 and 5 with the user entering an 8, the user should be re-prompted.
4. Have a main menu that asks the user if they want to:
a. What would you like to do?:
i. Plant Single Item
ii. Plant Many of the Same Item
iii. Plant a Full Garden
iv. Exit
1. Upon exit, nothing is saved
4. Requirements:
Initially, you will have to use the following files Plant.h, Flower.h, Vegetable.h, Tree.h, Garden.h, driver.h and Fruit.h. You must make your own makefile for this project.
- The project must be completed in C++. You may not use any libraries or data structures that we have not learned in class. Libraries we have learned include , , , , , , and . You should only use namespace std.
- Do not change any of the header files (.h).
- There should be no memory leaks.
