This lab is due by Thursday, November 19, 2020, 11:59 PM.
As with all labs you may, and are encouraged, to pair program a solution to this lab. If you choose to pair program a solution, be sure that you individually understand how to generate the correct solution.
Concepts
Focus on defining a Godzilla
class from
scratch.
Suggestion: Use NotePad or WordPad
Consider using NotePad or WordPad on your computer to write your code for this lab. Once you feel good about what you've written, then copy the code into your project. Doing this will help you see where you might make mistakes on the exam!
You should write a
main.cpp
that tests each feature of your class works as expected. You
will need to submit your class declaration file, your class
definition file, and your
main.cpp
file for this lab.
Godzilla
Class
We are going to declare a class called Godzilla
that will allow us to ultimately simulate a battle
between Godzilla & Mechagodzilla.
Create a new class called Godzilla
that
contains private data members for storing the name (as a string
), the health and power (as double
s) of a Godzilla creature.
Public functions you should include in your class:
- A default constructor that sets the name to "Godzilla", the health to a random value between [50, 100], and the power to a random value between [10, 25].
- A parameterized constructor that allows a user to enter a new Godzilla object specifying the name, health, and power. Ensure that the provided health and power are both greater than zero. If either are not, then reassign it to a random default value.
- Appropriate getter and setter functions. The power setter should ensure that the power is greater than zero. If not, then reassign it to a random default value.
Now in main, create two Godzilla
objects - one named godzilla
and the other named mechagodzilla
.
godzilla
should be created using the default constructor. Then prompt the user to enter the power & health for
the godzilla
object and call the corresponding setters to assign the new user entered values. Prompt the user to provide
the health and power of mechagodzilla
before making the object so the parameterized constructor can be used.
To verify your objects are correct, output the name, health, & power of godzilla
and mechagodzilla
. When
you output the data members' values to verify, use the corresponding getters.
An example output is below:
Enter the health of Godzilla: 80
Enter the power of Godzilla: 20
Enter the name of the second creature: Metalzilla
Enter the health of the second creature: 95
Enter the power of the second creature: 30
The two creatures are:
Godzilla (P: 20) - H: 80
Metalzilla (P: 30) - H: 95
Lab Submission
You will submit your solution to this lab with the rest of Set7. Detailed instructions for doing this are posted in Assignment 7.
