Fall-2019 (CS-Department)
Quiz 2

Course Code: CS-217 Course Name: Object-oriented Programming


Student ID: Section:
Date: October 1, 2019 Time: 20 minutes

Question 1:

a) Briefly write the purpose of mutable variables.


b) Can we save reference to a constant variable in a constant pointer? (Yes/No)
c) Is a class with only static members really useful at all? (provide a brief but reasonable answer)

Answer:

a) A variable declared as mutable can have its value changed in a constant function.

b) Yes

c Declaring a class with only static members imply that any instance of that class won't be able to
use those members, hence a class with only static members go against the principles of OOP and
is least useful.

Question 2:

MajinBuu Package Delivery Service wants you to write a test version of an application for them.
Whenever a package is ready for delivery, it is first sent to the Dispatch Department, which in turn
forwards that package for delivery based on the receiver's Tracking ID (format: TMP-xxx), NIC# &
Contact Number (format: +923xxxxxxxxx). Packages without any Tracking ID are sent back to the
Vendors. Since this is a test system, your application must only allow four (4) packages in all.

Answer:

Page 1 of 2
class Package
{
string trackingID;
static int pkgCount;
public:
Package(string trackingID = " ") { this-> trackingID = trackingID; pkgCount++; }
};
int Package::pkgCount = 0;

class Dispatch_Dept
{
public:
void dispatch(Package pkg, Receiver r)
{
int count = Package::pkgCount;
if(pkg.trackingID == " " && count < 4)
cout << "Package returned" << endl;
else
send(pkg, r);
}

void send(Package pkg, Receiver r)


{
cout << "Package " << pkg.trackingID << " sent to " << r.NIC << endl;
}
};

class Receiver
{
string NIC;
string contactNo;
public:
Receiver(string n, string c) { NIC = n; contactNo = c; }
};

int main()
{
Package p1("TMP-111");
Receiver r1("42301-1001010-0", "+923317777777");
Dispatch_Dept d;

d.dispatch(p1, r1);
}
