Programming Assignment: Inventory Class Hierarchy

This assignment builds on the class hierarchy of Lab (see below)

Task 1: List of authors

Our design so far assumes that a book has only one author. You need to modify class Book to be able to accommodate multiple authors, each represented with a name. A good way to do this is to use the C++ Standard Template Library and declare member authors to be of type vector. However, since one of the objectives of this assignment is to practice with dynamic data and pointers as members of a class, we want to define a new class Listto store the list of author names.

List should have two private data members, a pointer to string which will be use to dynamically allocate an array of string of a certain size, integer representing the size of the allocate array (call it listCapacity), and integer representing the actual number of elements in the list (call it listSize). List should also have the following public member functions (at a minimum):

a) a parametrizedclass constructor to initialize the list to at least one item. Note that the constructor does not populate the list, it just allocates a string array of a given capacity. You should also provide a default constructor.

b) a functionsize() that returns the number of items in the list.

c) a function that returns the value in the ith element (be sure to validate i).

d) a function that adds a new item to the back of the list (call it push_back() ). If the list is full, allocate a new array of the appropriate size, copy all existing elements into the new array, and add the new item.

e) a function that removes the element at the back of the list (call it pop_back()).

f) a function clear() to delete all the items from the list.

Exercise 1. Define a class List with the above specification.

Task 2: Testing Class List

Consider the following test driver program:

#include"List.h"
voidtestList();
intmain()
{
tesList();
cin.get();
system("pause");
return 0;
}
//*******************************************************
// This function is used to test class List
inttestList()
{
List a(3); // testing constructor, push_back(), size(), and getItem()
a.push_back("James Bond");
a.push_back("Iman Tillman");
a.push_back("Mary Joe Hernandez");
a.push_back("Roger Moore"); // one more that original capacity
cout<<"Number of items in list a: "< for (inti =0; i cout<

cout< List b = a; // testing copy constructor
cout< for (inti =0; i cout<

a.pop_back();
a.pop_back();
a.pop_back();
a.push_back("John Doe");
cout<

for (inti = 0; i cout< return 0;
}

Exercise 1. Predict the above program output with class List as specified in Task 1.

Exercise 2. Run the test program and compare its output to your prediction in Exercise 1. Did it behave as you expected. Explain why. You may also run a test case with the assignment operation.

Task 3: Class Dynamic Data Members

Exercise 1. Add a class copy constructor to class List to do deep copying. Use the test program from Task 2 to test it.

Exercise 2. Add a class destructor to delete dynamically allocated data.

Exercise 3. Adda public member function that overloads the assignment operator to perform deep copying(remember to deallocate dynamic data of the destination object before copying). Use the test program from Task 2 to test it.

You may add any other member functions that you deem necessary or helpful for other tasks. However, you should be careful not to provide any public member function that modifies the size or capacity of the list since these should only be changed by the constructors or when an item is added or removed from the list.

Exercise 4. Demo your final class List definition

Task 4: Update class Book with the authors list member

Exercise 1. Modify data member authorsin class Bookto be of type List. Add the following accessors and mutators (at a minimum):

a. getAuthors: returns a List object holding the authors namelist and number of authors
b. addAuthor: adds an author to the list of authors
c. removeAuthor: removes the last author added to the list.
d. clearAuthors: removes all authors.

Exercise 2. Update member functions display of class Book and classInventoryItemto

a. Output to any output stream not just cout, and

b. Output book information in the following format (all on one line):

descriptionquantity on handpricenumber of authorslist authors separated by tabspublisher

Exercise 3. Overload the stream insertion operator << for both class Book and class InventoryItem. Important Note: keep the display functions, and have operator<

Exercise 4. Update theread member functions of class Book and class InventoryItem to read book information from an input stream in the following format:

category, description, quantity on hand, price, number of authors, list of author names separated by commas, publisher

where category is a string that indicates the inventory item category. Assume the allowable categories are: book for books and general for anything else.

Note the following:

1. Book::read must call InventoryItem::read
2. The comma after price must be consumed by Book:read
3. You may use the following function to trim leading and trailing white spaces from strings after you call getline():

voidtrim(string&s)
{
size_t p = s.find_first_not_of(" \t\n");
s.erase(0, p);

p = s.find_last_not_of(" \t\n");
if (string::npos != p)
s.erase(p+1);
}

Exercise 5. Overload the stream extraction operator >> for both classes. Again, Do NOT replace theread function, simply have the operator >> call functionread.

Exercise 6. Use the driver program below to demo your updated Book class. You may also download a text version of it from file demoNewLab in the Lab6 folder (on EagleOnline). Make sure to include the header files with the Book class definition.

#include"book.h"
#include

//void testList();
intdemoNewBook();

intmain() {
demoNewBook();

system("pause");
return 0;
}
intdemoNewBook()
{
ifstream file("data.csv"); //Assume the name of input file is "data.csv"
if(!file)
{
cerr<<"Can't open file "<<"data.csv"< return(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

vectorbookList;
Book temp;
while (while(!file.eof())
{
file >> temp;
bookList.push_back(temp);
}
for (size_ti = 0; i cout<<"Book "< cout< }

system("pause");
return 0;
}

Task 5: Polymorphism

Assume inventory items are of two categories: books or general items (category list can be expanded). As discussed above, a general inventory item has the data fields description, quantity on hand, and price whereas a book has the additional fields title, author list (number of authors and list of their names), and publisher name. Assume that inventory data files contain information from the two categories, each tagged with their category. Example;

general, IPhone 6, 35, 599.0

book, CS book, 15, 199.50, Intro to Programming with C++, 2, D.S. Malik, T. J. Holly, Pearson
general, Samsung Galaxy 7S, 376.99

book, Novel Sci Fi, 2, 6.99, The Martians, 1, Andy Weir, Media Type

Exercise 1. Consider the following test program. What do you expect it to output if run with the sample input in the box above?

#include"book.h"
#include

//void testList();
//intdemoNewBook();
inttestPolymorphism();

intmain()
{
testPolymorphism();

system("pause");
return 0;
}
//*******************************************************
// This program is used to test polymorphism of input and output operations of class Book
inttestPolymorphism()
{
ifstream file("data2.csv"); //Assume the name of input file is "data2.csv"
if(!file)
{
cerr<<"Can't open file "<<"data.csv"< return(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
InventoryItem *temp;
string category;

getline(file, category, ','); // get the category for first item

trim(category); // remove leading and trailing spaces
if (category == "general")
temp = newInventoryItem;
elseif (category == "book")
temp = newBook;
else
{ cout< return(EXIT_FAILURE);
}

file >> *temp;
cout<< *temp;

getline(file, category, ','); // get the category for 2nd item
trim(category);

if (category == "general")
temp = newInventoryItem;
elseif (category == "book")
temp = newBook;
else
{ cout< return(EXIT_FAILURE);
}
file >> *temp;
cout<< *temp;

return 0;
}

Exercise 2. Run the test program and verify your prediction. Why isn't the book information displayed correctly?

Exercise 3. Make the required changes to base classInventoryItem so that the appropriate input and output functions are called depending on the type of object calling them i.e. make the functions polymorphic.

Exercise 4. Demo you program with the test data and program of exercise 1 above.

InventoryItem *temp;
string category;

trim(category);
if (category == "general")
