CSCI 261 - Programming Concepts - Summer 2019

Lab 8B - Class Part II: Protected Godzilla

This lab is due by Tuesday, June 18, 2019, 11:59 PM.
As with all labs you may, and are encouraged, to pair program a solution to this lab.


Concepts



Focus on expanding the Godzilla class from Lab8A.


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.


Expanded Godzilla Class



We are now going to properly structure our Class members correctly. Begin by denoting your data members as private and the methods as public. Add the following functions below to your class you should include in your class:
  • Appropriate getter and setter functions. The power setter should ensure that the power is greater than zero. If not, then reassign it to the random default value.
  • Use a private helper function wherever one makes sense to refactor your constructors and setters.
Now in main, have the Gozilla object (not the Mechagodzilla object) call the setters based on the user's input. When you output the data members' values to verify, use the corresponding getters.


Lab Submission



You will submit your solution to this lab with the rest of Set8. Detailed instructions for doing this are posted in Assignment 8.
