Homework 11: Inheritance and Derived Classes

For each statement, indicate if it is True or False by circling T or F. If you need to cross out an answer, be sure that your final answer is clear and unambigous—otherwise it will receive no credit.

Assume there is a class called Student that has private member variables string name, int perm. Assume that Student has getters and setters for each of these data members getName, setName, getPerm and setPerm, and a constructor that takes name and perm as parameters. Assume that the class is declare in file student.h . In other words, you are given the following class definition:

class Student {
  std::string name;
  int perm;
public:
  Student(std::string name, int perm) :
    name(name), perm(perm) {}

  const std::string & getName() const {
    return name;
  }

  void setName(std::string name) {
    this->name = name;
  }

  int getPerm() const {
    return perm;
  }

  void setPerm(int perm) {
    this->perm = perm;
  }
}

1. (8 pts) Write the contents of a .h file for a derived a class called CmpscStudent that inherits from Student and has additional data members including *string* ugradDegreeType, *bool* graduateStudent. Include prototypes for a public constructor that initializes all of the data members of CmpscStudent as well as getters (but not setters) for the additional data members of CmpscStudent. Do not implement these constructors and methods as inline. Just give the prototypes in the class definition.

2. (8 pts) Write the function definition for the constructor CmpscStudent that takes as its parameters all of the data members of CmpscStudent, and fully initializes the object being constructed, as it would appears in the .cpp file.
