Question

Create a class Term. This class represents a term of
a polynomial such as 2x4 where 2 is coefficient and 4 is
exponent of the term.
Data members:-
 int coefficient
 int exponent
Create another class Polynomial. The internal
representation of a polynomial is an array of Terms. The
size of this array should be fixed.
Provide a constructor for this class that will set all terms
of a polynomial object as zero (where coefficient is 0 and
exponent is 0). Provide following
functions:
 setTerm(int, int) – Setting a term of a polynomial
object. Each successive call of this function should
set next term of the polynomial object.
It should do the following validations:-
 Whether the exponent of the term being set is
already used.
 Whether the array size limit is exceeded.
 Whether the exponent is negative.
In all the cases it should not set the term and display an
appropriate message.
 sort() – to arrange the terms in ascending order of
exponents.
 provide a function to print a polynomial object
