Assignment 4 Overloading Operators

Instructions In this assignment you will build upon the program worked on in the previous assignment. You are free to build upon your solution or start from the skeleton code provided. Task 1: Overloading Operators In this part of the assignment we will go through and overload some operators for some of the classes in this program. Some of these overloaded operators will replace some functions that are already present.
Vehicle Class ● Overload the << operator so that it prints the contents of the Vehicle object in the same manner that it is printed when the “Print Customer Database” option is selected from the main menu of the program. ● Overload the < and operators to compare Vehicle objects based on their year. Change the code that compares Vehichle objects in the VehicleList class during insertion to use these operators instead of comparing the Vehicle objects’ years directly. VehicleList Class ● Overload the += operator that takes a Vehicle pointer and adds it to the VehicleList. Once implemented, remove the add function and fix any other code in the program to use this operator instead of that function. ● Overload the -= so that it takes a Vehicle pointer and removes it from the VehicleList. If the Vehicle does not exist in the VehicleList simply do nothing. This is new functionality for this program that we will use later in this assignment.
● Overload the [] operator so that it takes an integer subscript as a parameter and returns a pointer to the Vehicle object at that position in the list. If the specified index is invalid, return null. ● Overload the << operator so that it prints the contents of the VehicleList. You are to do this by iterating over the list using your newly implemented [] operator. You are not allowed to make this operator a friend to the Node class, only to the VehicleList (so you have to use your [] operator). Be sure to make use of the << operator you implemented in the Vehicle class. Once this is completed, remove the toString function. Update any other code in the program to now use this operator instead.
Customer Class ● Overload the += operator that takes a Vehicle pointer and adds it to the VehicleList. This should make use of the += operator now available in the VehicleList class. Once implemented, remove the addVehicle function and fix any other code in the program to use this operator instead of that function. ● Overload the << operator so that it prints the contents of the Customer object in the same manner that it is printed when the “Print Customer Database” option is selected from the main menu of the program. In this operation, make use of the << operator now available to you from the Vehicle class. ● Overload the < and operators to compare Customer objects based on their last name. Change the code that compares Customer objects in the CustomerList class during insertion to use these operators instead of comparing the Customer objects’ last name directly.
CustomerList Class ● Overload the += operator that takes a Customer pointer and adds it to the CustomerList. Once implemented, remove the add function and fix any other code in the program to use this operator instead of that function. ● Overload the -= so that it takes a Customer pointer and removes it from the CustomerList. If the Customer does not exist in the CustomerList simply do nothing. This is new functionality for this program that we will use later in this assignment. ● Overload the [] operator so that it takes an integer subscript as a parameter and returns a pointer to the Customer object at that position in the list. If the specified index is invalid, return null. ● Overload the << operator so that it prints the contents of the CustomerList. You are to do this by iterating over the list using your newly implemented [] operator. You are not allowed to make this operator a friend to the Node class, only to the CustomerList (so you have to use your [] operator). Be sure to make use of the << operator you implemented in the Customer class. Once this is completed, remove the toString function. Update any other code in the program to now use this operator instead. You
should now be able to run your program and when selecting “Print Customer Database”, the output should look more or less the same as it did before.
Shop Class ● Overload the += operator that takes a Customer pointer and adds it to the CustomerList stored in the Shop. This should make use of the += operator defined in the CustomerList class. Once implemented, remove the addCustomer function and fix any other code in the program to use this operator instead of that function. ● Overload the -= so that it takes a Customer pointer and removes it from the CustomerList stored in the Shop. This should make use of the -= operator defined in the CustomerList class. This is new functionality for this program that we will use later in this assignment.
Task 2: Adding to the Main Menu We will now add two new options to our main menu: 4. Remove Customer and 5. Remove Vehicle. These functions will work similarly to the respective add functionality and will maintain the design principles of this program. You will need to implement functionality in a few classes to achieve this. If the user chooses Remove Customer, they are prompted for a Customer ID. If they enter an invalid ID, this is reported and nothing happens. Otherwise, the Customer identified is removed. If the user chooses Remove Vehicle, they are prompted for a Customer ID. If they enter an invalid ID, this is reported and nothing happens. Otherwise, the user is prompted to indicate which vehicle (a number from 0 - the number of vehicles the customer has registered -1). If they enter an invalid number, this is reported and nothing happens. Otherwise the Vehicle identified is removed.
In both cases the objects should be completely destroyed and all allocated memory associated with those objects should be freed.
Task 3: Introducing a Class Hierarchy We will now introduce a relatively simple class hierarchy into this program. We will create a Person class that has the following members: firstName, lastName, address and phoneNumber. It will also have a constructor that is responsible for initializing these members and a getter function for each member. It is up to you whether you make these members private, protected or public, keeping with the idea of encapsulation we have been talking about in class.
Once implemented, you will update the Customer class to inherit from the Person class properly.
Task 4: Introducing the Mechanic Class On top of keeping track of our customers, we also want to keep track of our Mechanics. Implement a Mechanic class which inherits from the Person class. On top of the inherited members, the Mechanic class needs to have the following: ● A constant integer ID member. This ID is taken from a static integer declared in the class which is initialized to start at 5000, and is incremented every time a new Mechanic is created, similar to the id in the Customer class. ● A salary data member, stored as an integer. ● A constructor which initializes the object properly. ● Overloaded << operator which prints a Mechanic object in a similar manner to a Customer object, replacing the Vehicles with the salary. Once this is created, add an array of pointers for Mechanic objects to the Shop class. Since our shop is relatively small, this will have a fixed size of 5. Overload the += operator in the Shop class to take a pointer to a Mechanic object and add it to this array, if there is room. If there isn’t, do nothing. In the initCustomers function in the ShopController class, create at least 3 Mechanic and add them to the Shop object using your += operator. Keep in mind that these objects should be dynamically allocated and you will therefore decide where and when this memory needs to be free. We will rename this function initShop which better aligns with its new functionality. We will now add one more option to our main menu: 6. Print Mechanics. This functions will work similarly to the Print Customer Database option and will maintain the design principles of this program. You will need to implement functionality in a few classes to achieve this.
