Homework #8 – Streams

In this assignment you are asked to implement a program that reads a list of Person objects from a file, outputs those objects to an in-memory stream, then outputs the contents of the in-memory stream to stdout. The following UML class diagram shows the class that will be read from streams and written to streams.
Figure 1. UML class diagram for class Person
1. (1 point) Meet these basic requirements: a. All non-test code must be implemented in a namespace based on your first and last name (e.g. “RayMitchell”). b. The Person class must be defined in a file named “Person.h”; all member functions must be defined in a file named “Person.cpp”. c. The main function and tests must be placed in a file named “hw8.cpp”. d. Make sure const is used correctly everywhere within the assignment. Be sure to check all pointer parameters, reference parameters, and member functions for proper “const-ness”.
2. (3 points) Define class Person exactly as shown in the UML diagram. Do not add any members not shown in the diagram.
The stream insertion operator (operator<<) should output the attributes of the Person in the following format:
firstName lastName ageYears heightInches weightPounds
Here is an example of the output expected from the stream insertion operator:
John Smith 37 72.25 189.37
The stream extraction operator (operator) should extract a Person in the same format.
3. (5 points) Write a test program that implements the following pseudocode:
Open a file named “hw8-input.txt” using an fstream If the file opened successfully:
Person
-firstName: String -lastName: String -ageYears: Integer -heightInches: Float -weightPounds: Float
<<friend+operator(in: istream &, person: Person &): istream & <<friend+operator<<(out: ostream &, person: const Person &): ostream &
CSE-40477
While the end of the file has not been reached: Extract the next person from the file Insert the person and a newline into a stringstream Output the contents of the stringstream to stdout
Demonstrate your program working with file “hw8-input.txt” containing the following:
John Smith 37 72.25 189.37 Sally Jones 26 60.18 107.88 Aaron Anderson 12 55.50 89.30 Janet Anderson 10 49.00 60.98 Brian Doe 28 76.11 238.00 Brett Daniels 48 69.01 189.74
4. (1 point) Make sure your source code is well-commented, consistently formatted, uses no magic numbers/values, follows a consistent style, and is ANSI-compliant.
Place all source code and a screen capture of the output produced by your program in a single Word or PDF document. Submit this document.
