Number of Days Worked
Design a class called NumDays. The class’s purpose is to store a value that represents a number of work hours and convert it to a number of days. For example, 8 hours would be converted to 1 day, 12 hours would be converted to 1.5 days, and 18 hours would be converted to 2.25 days. The class should have a constructor that accepts a number of hours, as well as member functions for storing and retrieving the hours and days. The class should also have the following overloaded operators:
- The addition operator +. The number of hours in the sum of two objects is the sum of the number of hours in the individual objects.
- The subtraction operator −. The number of hours in the difference of two objects X and Y is the number of hours in X minus the number of hours in Y.
- Prefix and postfix increment operators ++. The number of hours in an object is incremented by 1.
- Prefix and postfix decrement operators −−. The number of hours in an object is decremented by 1.

Circle Class (Easy)
Write a Circle class that has the following member variables:
radius : a double
The class should have the following member functions:
Default Constructor: default constructor that sets radius to 0.0.
Constructor: accepts the radius of the circle as an argument.
setRadius: an mutator function for the radius variable.
getRadius: an accessor function for the radius variable.
getArea: returns the area of the circle, which is calculated as area = pi * radius * radius
getCircumference: returns the circumference of the circle, which is calculated as circumference = 2 * pi * radius
Step1: Create a declaration of the class.
Step2: Write a program that demonstrates the Circle class by asking the user for the circle’s radius, creating
Circle objects, and then reporting the circle’s area, and circumference.
You should create at least two circle objects, one sets the radius to 0.0 and one accepts the radius as an…
Design an Account class used to represent an individual’s declining balance gift card. It contains a string for the account number, and a float value for the balance. It should include the following 7 functions:
a 2-argument constructor (it accepts an account number and initial balance).
a set function, one for each attribute (2 total functions, setAccount and setBalance. Each assigns an argument value to the named member variable.
a get function for each attribute (2 total functions, getAccount, and getBalance). Each returns the value stored in the named member variable.
a function to display the account’s information to the screen. The account number and balance value should be labelled.
a function withdraw that takes a float argument and subtracts it from the balance.

Employee and ProductionWorker Classes
Create an Employee class that has properties for the following data:
Employee name
Employee number
Next, create a class named ProductionWorker that is derived from the Employee class. The ProductionWorker class should have properties to hold the following data:
Shift number (an integer, such as 1, 2, or 3)
Hourly pay rate
The workday is divided into two shifts: day and night. The Shift property will hold an integer value representing the shift that the employee works. The day shift is shift 1 and the night shift is shift 2.
Create an application that creates an object of the ProductionWorker class and lets the user enter data for each of the object’s properties. Retrieve the object’s properties and display their values.
