Lab 1

Lab 1
This lab will focus on using polymorphism while interacting with a contact
list. There will be a main class Contacts that controls the “view” the user
sees and responds to user input. The contact information (personal and
work) will be an instance of the Information class.

The Contacts Class

This lab is built around the Contacts class, which has four attributes:
* view - This string attribute controls what the user sees. When the value
for view changes, the information changes. There are four different views.
* List view - Shows the list of all of the contacts.
* Information view - Shows the work and personal information for a
particular contact.
* Add view - Add information for a new contact.
* Quit view - Leave a message for the user and then end the program.
* names - Vector of strings that stores the names of each person in the
contact list.
* titles - Vector of strings that stores the titles for each person in the
contact list.
* workPhoneNumbers - Vector of strings that stores the work phone numbers
for each person in the contact list.
* workEmails - Vector of strings that stores the work email addresses for
each person in the contact list.
* personalPhoneNumbers - Vector of strings that stores the personal phone
numbers for each person in the contact list.
* personalEmails - Vector of strings that stores the personal email addresses
for each person in the contact list.

choice - This string attribute represents input from the user and is used
to change view.
index - This integer attribute keeps track of the particular contact whose
information is to be displayed.
length - This integer attribute keeps track of the length of the above
vectors.

To put polymorphism into practice, we are going to create the abstract class
Information. This will have the pure abstract functions DisplayInfo and
AddInfo. The Contacts class inherits from Information, and therefore it
must override the DisplayInfo and AddInfo functions.

//add class definitions below this line

class Information {
public:
virtual void DisplayInfo() = 0;
virtual void AddInfo() = 0;
};

class Contacts : public Information {

public:
void DisplayInfo() {

void AddInfo() {

}
};

//add class definitions above this line

Add the attributes and constructor for the Contacts class. For testing
purposes, set view to "quit". We will change this to a more appropriate
value later on. The other attributes do not need a value when instantiating
the object. Instantiate each vector attribute, set choice to an empty string,
and set index and length to 0. Additionally, add the Display function, which
we will go in more detail later on.

//add class definitions below this line

class Information {
public:
virtual void DisplayInfo() = 0;
virtual void AddInfo() = 0;
};

class Contacts : public Information {

public:
Contacts() {
view = "quit";
names = {};
titles = {};
workPhoneNumbers = {};
workEmails = {};
personalPhoneNumbers = {};
 personalEmails = {};
choice = "";
index = 0;
length = 0;
}

void DisplayInfo() {

void AddInfo() {

void Display() {

private:
string view;
vector<string> names;
vector<string> titles;
vector<string> workPhoneNumbers;
vector<string> workEmails;
vector<string> personalPhoneNumbers;
vector<string> personalEmails;
string choice;
int index;
int length;
};

//add class definitions above this line

The Display Function

The Display function is designed to be a loop that runs until the user tells
the program to end. The function checks the value of the view attribute and
calls the appropriate function that displays the information for each view.
Since the loop is while (true), be sure to include a break statement
otherwise the loop would never stop (C++ would eventually stop the
program with an error message). Fill out the Display function like below.
 void Display() {
while (true) {
if (view==("list")) {
}
else if (view==("info")) {
DisplayInfo();
}
else if (view==("add")) {
cout << " " << endl;
AddInfo();
}
else if (view==("quit")) {
cout << ("\nClosing the contact list...\n");
break;
}
}
}

Starting the Other Functions

The Display function calls three other functions; DisplayInfo and AddInfo
have already been declared. Trying to test the code would cause your
program to crash as the ShowList function has not yet been defined. Create
another empty function ShowList just as was done with DisplayInfo and
AddInfo. We will come back later and add working code to each function.
However, to get your code to run we must provide a definition for virtual
functions in your base class.

void DisplayInfo() {

void AddInfo() {

void ShowList() {

Testing Your Code

Before moving on to the next part of the script, we want to check that our
code is working. To do that, instantiate a Contacts object and call the
Display function.

//add code below this line

Contacts contacts;
contacts.Display();

//add code above this line

Run your program. Because the view attribute is "quit", the script should
immediately display a message and then stop. Your output should look
something like this.

Your code should look like this:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

class Information {
public:
virtual void DisplayInfo() = 0;
virtual void AddInfo() = 0;
};

class Contacts : public Information {

Lab 2

Adding a Contact
The first thing we need to do is to change the default view when a Contacts
object is instantiated. The list view should be the first view shown to the
user. Change the value for view from "quit" to "list" in the constructor.
The rest of the constructor should not be changed.

Code from Lab 1

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

//add class definitions below this line

class Information {
public:
virtual void DisplayInfo() = 0;
virtual void AddInfo() = 0;
};

class Contacts : public Information {

public:
Contacts() {
view = "quit";
names = {};
titles = {};
workPhoneNumbers = {};
workEmails = {};
personalPhoneNumbers = {};
personalEmails = {};
choice = "";
index = 0;
length = 0;
}

void DisplayInfo() {

}
 void AddInfo() {

void ShowList() {

void Display() {
while (true) {
if (view==("list")) {
ShowList();
}
else if (view==("info")) {
DisplayInfo();
}
else if (view==("add")) {
cout<< " "<<endl;
AddInfo();
}
else if (view==("quit")) {
cout << ("\nClosing the contact list...\n");
break;
}
}
}

private:
string view;
vector<string> names;
vector<string> titles;
vector<string> workPhoneNumbers;
vector<string> workEmails;
vector<string> personalPhoneNumbers;
vector<string> personalEmails;
string choice;
int index;
int length;
};

//add class definitions above this line

int main(){

//add code below this line

Contacts contacts;
contacts.Display();
 //add code above this line

return 0;

public:
Contacts() {
view = "list";
// rest of the constructor remains unchanged
}

Next we want to modify the ShowList function to show the list of people in
the contact list. There are two possible states for the list view: the list is
empty or there are contacts in the list. When the list is empty, the user will
be provided with the choice to add a contact or quit the program. Use a
conditional to represent these two states. For now, set view to "quit" in the
else branch.

The print statement is to add a blank line for legibility. We also need a cin
object to collect input from the user. If length is 0, then present the user
with a choice. Store their input in choice. The .tolower() function will
convert the user choice to a lowercase letter. This will make comparisons
easier. Remember, C++ is case sensitive; q and Q are not the same. By
forcing all input to lowercase, we only need to test for the lowercase letter.
The ShowList function ends by calling another function to handle the user’s
choice.

void ShowList() {
cout << endl;
char sc;
if (length == 0) {
cout << ("(A)dd a new contact \n(Q)uit \n> ");
cin >> sc;
choice = putchar(tolower(sc));
}
else {
view = "quit";
}
HandleChoice();
}

Handling User Choices

Every time the user makes a choice, we want to evaluate that choice and
perform the appropriate action. In this case, the user can choose between
adding a contact or quitting the program. Notice that view only changes to
"add" if "a" is entered and we are in list view. We only want to add new
contacts from the list view.

void HandleChoice() {
if (choice==("q")) {
view = "quit";
}
else if (choice==("a") && view==("list")) {
view = "add";
}
}

Adding a Contact
When the user enters "a", we need to create a new contact. To do this, we
are going to modify the AddInfo function. Use cout and the getline function
to ask the user to enter the name, personal phone number, personal email,
work title, work phone number, and work email, and then temporarily
store that information. Each piece of information should go into the
corresponding vector attribute after. Notice that we include cin >> ws
within getline because by doing so, we are able to consume the whitespace
ws. Once the information has been added, increase the length attribute and
revert back to the list view.
 void AddInfo() {
cout << endl;
string sc2;
cout << ("Enter their name: ");
getline(cin >> ws, sc2);
string name = sc2;
names.push_back(name);

cout << ("Enter their personal phone number: ");

getline(cin >> ws, sc2);
string personalPhone = sc2;
personalPhoneNumbers.push_back(personalPhone);

cout << ("Enter their personal email: ");

getline(cin >> ws, sc2);
string personalEmail = sc2;
personalEmails.push_back(personalEmail);

cout << ("Enter their work title: ");

getline(cin >> ws, sc2);
string title = sc2;
titles.push_back(title);

cout << ("Enter their work phone number: ");

getline(cin >> ws, sc2);
string workPhone = sc2;
workPhoneNumbers.push_back(workPhone);

cout << ("Enter their work email: ");

getline(cin >> ws, sc2);
string workEmail = sc2;
workEmails.push_back(workEmail);
length++;
view = "list";
}

Testing Your Code

Before moving on to the next part of the program, we want to check that
our code is adding a contact to the list. To do that, we need to create a getter
for the length attribute.
 int GetLength() {
return length;
}

Now call print the result from the GetLength function.

//add code below this line

Contacts contacts;
contacts.Display();
cout<< contacts.GetLength()<< endl;

//add code above this line

Run the program and enter a when prompted, then add the following
contact:

Rachel Kim

555 890-1234

If everything worked properly, your program should print 1 in the terminal

as there is one person in our contact list.

Displaying the List View

Now that we can add a contact to the list, we will want to show all of the
contacts in the list.

Code from Lab 2

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

//add class definitions below this line

class Information {
public:
virtual void DisplayInfo() = 0;
virtual void AddInfo() = 0;
};

class Contacts : public Information {

public:
Contacts() {
view = "list";
names = {};
titles = {};
workPhoneNumbers = {};
workEmails = {};
personalPhoneNumbers = {};
personalEmails = {};
choice = "";
index = 0;
length = 0;
}

void DisplayInfo() {

void AddInfo() {
cout << endl;
 string sc2;
cout << ("Enter their name: ");
getline(cin >> ws, sc2);
string name = sc2;
names.push_back(name);

cout << ("Enter their personal phone number: ");

getline(cin >> ws, sc2);
string personalPhone = sc2;
personalPhoneNumbers.push_back(personalPhone);

cout << ("Enter their personal email: ");

getline(cin >> ws, sc2);
string personalEmail = sc2;
personalEmails.push_back(personalEmail);

cout << ("Enter their work title: ");

getline(cin >> ws, sc2);
string title = sc2;
titles.push_back(title);

cout << ("Enter their work phone number: ");

getline(cin >> ws, sc2);
string workPhone = sc2;
workPhoneNumbers.push_back(workPhone);

cout << ("Enter their work email: ");

getline(cin >> ws, sc2);
string workEmail = sc2;
workEmails.push_back(workEmail);
length++;
view = "list";
}

int GetLength() {
return length;
}

void HandleChoice() {
if (choice==("q")) {
view = "quit";
}
else if (choice==("a") && view==("list")) {
view = "add";
}
}
 void ShowList() {
cout << endl;
char sc;
if (length == 0) {
cout << ("(A)dd a new contact \n(Q)uit \n> ");
cin >> sc;
choice = putchar(tolower(sc));
}
else {
view = "quit";
}
HandleChoice();
}

void Display() {
while (true) {
if (view==("list")) {
ShowList();
}
else if (view==("info")) {
DisplayInfo();
}
else if (view==("add")) {
cout << endl;
AddInfo();
}
else if (view==("quit")) {
cout << ("\nClosing the contact list...\n");
break;
}
}
}

private:
string view;
vector<string> names;
vector<string> titles;
vector<string> workPhoneNumbers;
vector<string> workEmails;
vector<string> personalPhoneNumbers;
vector<string> personalEmails;
string choice;
int index;
int length;
};

//add class definitions above this line

 int main(){

//add code below this line

Contacts contacts;
contacts.Display();
cout << contacts.GetLength() << endl;

//add code above this line

return 0;

But before doing that, we need to remove the print statement at the end of
the script. The final two lines of code should look like this:

//add code below this line

Contacts contacts;
contacts.Display();

//add code above this line

We are going to iterate through the list of contacts and print the name. To
help users select a contact, a number will appear before each name. This
way, the user types the number, and the contact’s information appears.
Previously, the cin object stored the user input as a char, but since we want
the user to be able to input numbers now, we have to change the input sc
to a string instead. Then we create a loop in which sc gets iterated and each
character will be converted into lowercase and added to the string choice.
In the else branch function, create a for loop to go from 0 to length. We
want a number followed by the name. The numbers should start at 1, so
print the loop index plus 1 followed by the element from the names vector.
After displaying the list of names, ask the user to make a selection. Entering
a number will show all of the information about a contact. After
HandleChoice is called, be sure to set choice back to an empty string;
otherwise, the user’s input will continue to be stored in choice and
negatively affect the acceptable input requirement.
 void ShowList() {
cout << endl;
string sc;
if (length == 0) {
cout << ("(A)dd a new contact \n(Q)uit \n> ");
cin >> sc;
for (char c : sc) {
choice += (tolower(c));
}
}
else {
for (int i = 0; i < length; i++) {
cout << (i + 1 ) << ") " << names.at(i) << endl;
}
cout << ("\n(#) Select a name \n(A)dd a new
contact\n(Q)uit \n> ");
cin >> sc;
for (char c : sc) {
choice += (tolower(c));
}
}
HandleChoice();
choice = "";
}

Handling Numeric Input

Add an else if branch to the HandleChoice function that asks if the user
input is numeric (remember, the cin object now stores user input as a
string) and if the user is in the list view. If yes, then convert the user input
to an integer, subtract 1, and store it in the variable num. Remember, we
added one to the loop index in the ShowList function. If the user made a
mistake in entering the number, the script will crash if you try to access an
index that is outside of the vector. So we need to verify that the number is
between 0 and length. Finally, set index to num and set view to "info".
 void HandleChoice() {
if (choice==("q")) {
view = "quit";
}
else if (choice==("a") && view==("list")) {
view = "add";
}
else if (IsNumeric(choice) && view==("list")) {
int num = (stoi(choice) - 1);
if (num >= 0 && num < length) {
index = num;
view = "info";
}
}
}

We need to create the boolean helper function IsNumeric which takes the
user input and determines if they entered a number. First see if the user
input (a string) is empty. Return false if either condition is true. Then try to
convert the string to an integer. If this works, return true. If C++ throws an
exception because the string cannot be converted to an integer, then return
false. Since IsNumeric is a helper function, you should encapsulate it as
private.

bool IsNumeric(string s) {
int value;

if (s == "") {
return false;
}

try {
value = stoi(s);
return true;
}
catch (runtime_error& e) {
return false;
}
}

Testing Your Code

Before moving on to the next part of the program, we want to check that
our code is displaying all of the contacts in the list. To do that, enter two
different contacts. The first one is:

On the previous page, we already modified HandleChoice to deal with
numeric input. So let’s update the DisplayInfo function to display the
information. Print the elements from each vector using the attribute index.
After the information is displayed, change view back to "list" and then call
ShowList.

void DisplayInfo() {
cout<< endl;
cout<<names.at(index)<<endl;
cout<<"Personal email address: " << personalEmails.at(index)
<<endl;
cout<<"Personal phone number: " <<
personalPhoneNumbers.at(index)<<endl;
cout<<"Work title: " << titles.at(index)<<endl;
cout<<"Work email address: " << workEmails.at(index)<<endl;
cout<<"Work phone number: " << workPhoneNumbers.at(index)
<<endl;
view = "list";
ShowList();
}

Testing Your Code

This program should be complete now. To test it, add at least two contacts.
Select one of the contacts by entering the correlated number. Keep entering
a number to display the relevant contact information, a to add additional
contacts, or q to quit the program.

Code

Your code should look like this:

#include <iostream>
#include <vector>
using namespace std;

Lab Challenge

Problem

In the IDE to the left, the class Chef is already defined, as is the Display
function. However, it does not have a constructor. Create three
constructors that take one, two, and three parameters respectively. Note
that the attributes name and cuisine are set to "null" while michelinStars is
set to 0 by default.

Given Code

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

//add class definitions below this line

class Chef {
public:

//add constructors below this line

//add constructors above this line

string GetName() {
return name;
}

string GetCuisine() {
return cuisine;
}

int GetStars() {
return michelinStars;
}

void Display() {
cout << GetName() << " is known for " << GetCuisine() << "
cuisine and has " << GetStars() << " Michelin stars." <<
endl;
}
 private:
string name = "null";
string cuisine = "null";
int michelinStars = 0;
};

//add class definitions above this line

int main() {

//DO NOT EDIT code below this line

Chef c1("Marco Pierre White");

Chef c2("Rene Redzepi", "Nordic");
Chef c3("Thomas Keller", "French", 3);

c1.Display();
c2.Display();
c3.Display();

//DO NOT EDIT code above this line

return 0;

Expected Output

Three Chef objects are instantiated, each one using a different constructor.
Calling the Display function for each object should return the following
text:

Function Call Return Value

Marco Pierre White is known for
c1.Display() null cuisine and has 0 Michelin
stars.
Rene Redzepi is known for
c2.Display() Nordic cuisine and has 0
Michelin stars.
Thomas Keller is known for
c3.Display() French cuisine and has 3
Michelin stars.
