Objectives:
Overload Operators for a Class
Preparation:
Review Chapter 14 from Starting Out with C++ by Gaddis
Assignment:
- Name your source files LlllFfffRational.h, LlllFfffRational.cpp, and LlllFfffLab09.cpp where Llll is the first four letters of your last name and Ffff is the first four letters of your first name.
- Create an updated Rational class that uses overloaded operators. Include a private reduce member function to be used by other member functions whenever a non-reduced Rational
might exist. Overload the input and output operators and the conversion operator to
type double. The input operator should reduce the input rational number if it is not already
in reduced form. The addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division operators
should be overloaded. They should return a result that is reduced. All six relational
operators should be overloaded. Use integer variables to represent the numerator and
the denominator. Provide a default constructor and an explicit value constructor to
initialize the object to specific values. The definition of the class needs to be
in a header file and the implementations of the member functions and friend functions
need to be in an implementation file.
- Provide a driver program that demonstrates the class. It should allow the user to
enter two rational numbers. It should then calculate and display the sum, difference,
product, and quotient of the two rationals showing the results in complete equations.
It should also compare the two rationals with all six relational operators reporting
the result in complete expressions. Finally it needs to display a real number equivalent
to each of the two rational numbers.
- Verify your program works correctly.
- Submit your source code file to
ude.wons@nosneros.htrag. Due at 8:00 am on 3 March.
