CSC_211_Assignment_5___Inheritance_and_Operator_Overloads

The document outlines the requirements for CSC 211's C++ Assignment 5, focusing on inheritance and operator overloads. Students must create a base class 'Media' and a derived class 'Book', implementing specific attributes and methods, including operator overloading. Additionally, a 'Library' class is required to manage an array of books with proper memory management and functionality to add books and copy libraries.

CSC 211: C++ Assignment 5 - Inheritance & Operator

Overloads
Todd W. Flyr
6th March, 2025

A Base Requirements
Due: Thursday, Mar 13th, midnight.
Remember for all assignments, the following are required:

• Include your name in a top of code comment

• All classes must be in their own files.

• All member variables must be private and requires accessors/mutators for control.

• All classes with dynamic data must manage it, have destructors, default ctors/ initializing
ctors, etc.

• All code must be commented.

• Turn this as an OnlineGDB link! Thank you.

• as usual, SAVE THIS CODE, WE MAY MODIFY IT IN THE NEXT ASSIGNMENT! (I’m
not sure yet, but save it just in case!)

B Technical Requirements
B-1 Base Class Implementation

Create a base class named Media with the following specifications:

• A string object for storing a title

• An integer field for storing a year (published, released)

• accessors and mutators for this member data.

B-2 Inheritance Implementation

Create one derived class (for example, Book ) that:

• Inherits from the Media class

• Adds as string attribute for an author

• Adds a string for ISBN number

• accessors and mutators for this member data.

• Overloads the == (comparison) operator to see if two books are equal. Here’s an
example of that if you need it: https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/how-to-overload-operator-
in-cpp/
B-2-1 Required Derived Class Features
The derived class must include:

• Proper constructor that calls the base class constructor

C Library Class
Create class called Library that contains a pointer to an array of Books and a string for the
owner of the library (may be a person or a school or something).
This class has the following additional requirements:

• It must have a copy constructor

• IT must have an assignment operator overload to copy one library to another.

• It must have an accessor add book to allow the user to add a book which resizes the
array.

• it must have a proper destructor for deleting dynamic memory.

D Main Function Requirements


Create a main() function that demonstrates:

• Creation of book objects, and the ability to add them to the library.

• Add a few books.

• Testing all overloaded operators (e.g. copy one library to another, prove that it works)

• Verification of proper memory management
