A Simple Class

 
Exercise Write a simple class called Cube. The object should calculate the total area and the volume based on the side measurement. If the program supplies a side equal or lower than 0, reset the side to 1. Create an empty constructor and an empty destructor.

Implement the object in different files.


Header File: cube.h
#ifndef CUBE_H

#define CUBE_H



class Cube

{

public:

	Cube();

	~Cube();

	void setSide(double s);

	double getSide();

	double Area();

	double Volume();

	void Properties();

private:

	double Side;

};



#endif
Source File cube.cpp
#include <iostream.h>

#include "cube.h"



Cube::Cube()

{

}



Cube::~Cube()

{

}



void Cube::setSide(double s)

{

	Side = s <= 0 ? 1 : s;

}



double Cube::getSide()

{

	return Side;

}



double Cube::Area()

{

	return 6 * Side * Side;

}



double Cube::Volume()

{

	return Side * Side * Side;

}



void Cube::Properties()

{

	cout << "Characteristics of this cube";

	cout << "\nSide   = " << getSide();

	cout << "\nArea   = " << Area();

	cout << "\nVolume = " << Volume() << "\n\n";

}
Main File: Exo.cpp
#include "cube.h"



void main()

{

	Cube cube;

	cube.setSide(-12.55);

	cube.Properties();



	Cube de;

	de.setSide(28.15);

	de.Properties();

}

Here is an example of the result:
Characteristics of this cube

Side   = 1

Area   = 6

Volume = 1



Characteristics of this cube

Side   = 28.15

Area   = 4754.53

Volume = 22306.7
