Lab #8, Friday, March 9

The purpose of this lab is to give you practice writing a class in C++.

While you are gone for Spring Break you want to program your intelligent robot, the Tobor 3000, to do things for you around the house. The robot is given commands by creating a Tobor object. The Tobor class stores the date, time of day (in 24 hour format), and task that the robot should perform. Here is a sample main program:

int main()
{
   // Create an array of Tobor objects. The default constructor is used for each object.
   // The default constructor should set the date to "Unknown date", the time to 0, and
   // the task to "Do nothing"
   Tobor vacation[4];

    // Create three separate Tobor objects using the constructor to set the date, time, and task
    Tobor dog1("March 12",1200,"Feed dog");
    Tobor dog2("March 13",1200,"Feed dog");
    Tobor trash("March 12",2300,"Take out trash");

    // Copy three of these objects into the array.
    // slot 2 is left with the object created by the default constructor
    vacation[0] = dog1;
    vacation[1] = trash;
    vacation[3] = dog2;

    // Output each task for the robot to do, and when
    for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++)
    {
       cout << "On " << vacation[i].getDate() << " at time "
            << vacation[i].getTime() << " Tobor will "
            << vacation[i].getTask() << endl;
    }
}

• A string to store the date
• An integer to store the time of day
• A string to store the task

• A default constructor
• A constructor that sets the date, time, and task
• An accessor function to retrieve the date
• An accessor function to retrieve the time
• An accessor function to retrieve the task

The output of your program should look like this:

On March 12 at time 1200 Tobor will Feed dog
On March 12 at time 2300 Tobor will Take out trash
On Unknown date at time 0 Tobor will Do nothing
On March 13 at time 1200 Tobor will Feed dog
