Hands On C++: Project 12

The Projects

Your instructor will assign you one of the problems below. To solve your problem, write a program that reads the necessary information to compute and output the indicated values, as efficiently as possible. Following the pattern in the lab exercise, first, design using OCD; then code your design in C++ using stepwise translation; finally, test your program thoroughly.

Project #12.1: Extend your Gender enumeration with these operations:

• Next(Gender value); that returns the enumerator that follows value, wrapping around from the last valid enumerator to the first valid enumerator---returns FEMALE when value is UNKNOWN, returns MALE when value is FEMALE, and returns UNKNOWN when value is MALE.
• Previous(Gender value); that returns the enumerator that precedes value, wrapping around from the first valid enumerator to the last valid enumerator---i.e., returns FEMALE when value is MALE, returns MALE when value is UNKNOWN, and returns UNKNOWN when value is FEMALE.

Write a driver program that tests your functions.

Project #12.2: Build a Month enumeration. Using it, create a Date class that stores the month, day, and year for a date. Test your class by writing a program that reads two dates, and returns the number of days between those two dates (don't forget to consider leap years).

Project #12.3: Extend the classes in enumGenerator.cpp to automatically generate the Next() and Previous() functions described in the previous project for any enumeration.

Project #12.4: Build two enumerations:

• Suit, containing the values Clubs, Diamonds, Hearts and Spades.
• Rank, containing the values Ace, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Nine, Ten, Jack, Queen, King.

Use these enumerations to design and build a PlayingCard class. Using this class and vector, build a DeckOfCards class. Provide the following operations:

• A constructor that creates a new (in-order) deck of cards.
• A Shuffle() operation that arranges the PlayingCards in a DeckOfCards in random order.
• A TopCard() operation that returns the top card in the DeckOfCards() without removing it.
• A DealTopCard() operation that returns the top card in the DeckOfCards() and removes it.

Use these classes to write a program that plays a simple card game, such as "Go Fish."
