FeetInches Class Copy Constructor and multiply Function
Add a copy constructor to the FeetInches class. This constructor should accept a FeetInches object as an argument. The constructor should assign to the feet attribute the value in the argument’s feet attribute, and assign to the inches attribute the value in the argument’s inches attribute. As a result, the new object will be a copy of the argument object.
Next, add a multiply member function to the FeetInches class. The multiply function should accept a FeetInches object as an argument. The argument objects feet and inches attributes will be multiplied by the calling object’s feet and inches attributes, and a FeetInches object containing the result will be returned.

Double Bubble
For this exercise you need to create a Bubble class and construct two instances of the Bubble object. You will then take the two Bubble objects and combine them to create a new, larger combined Bubble object. This will be done using functions that take in these Bubble objects as parameters.
The Bubble class contains one data member, radius_, and the corresponding accessor and mutator methods for radius_, GetRadius and SetRadius. Create a member function called CalculateVolume that computes for the volume of a bubble (sphere). Use the value 3.1415 for PI.
Your main function has some skeleton code that asks the user for the radius of two bubbles. You will use this to create the two Bubble objects. You will create a CombineBubbles function that receives two references (two Bubble objects) and returns a Bubble object. Combining bubbles simply means creating a new Bubble object whose radius is the sum of the two Bubble objects' radii. Take note that the CombineBubbles function…
Object passing checklist1. Go over each member function and add the const keyword after their declaration ifthey do not modify any of the class' member variables.2. When accepting objects as parameters, prefer to pass them by reference. Add reference declarator (& before the identifier name of an object parameter.3. If the member function does not modify the parameter, make the parameter constantby using the const keyword.
apply the Object Passing Checklist. Modify food.h and volunteer.h to useobject references. Add const and & keywords in the appropriate places of the code.
Two data members: feet(int) and inches(float)
Two overloaded constructors: one that takes no argument and the other that takes two
arguments. Zero argument constructor initializes data members from 0 whereas two
argument constructor initializes data members from the passed arguments.
Two getters and two setters corresponding to two data members.
A member function named toDecimal that converts a distance to decimal, e.g., if a
distance equals 2 feet and 6 inches then it would become 2.5 in decimal.
A member function named toString that returns a string representation of a distance,
e.g., if a distance equals 2 feet and 6 inches then the corresponding string representation should be 2’-6”.

- (C++) 23. True/False: function getGallons() is an inline member function 24. Design a class called Date. The class should store a date in three private integers: month, day, year. There should be a member function to print out the date in the month/day/year format, e.g. 12/25/2015, 4/1/1970 There should be a constructor which takes three parameters to initialize the date. It should not accept values for day greater than 31 or less than 1, or values for month greater than 12 or less than 1. If the constructor is called with these values an error message should be printed out and the field set to 0. Any value for year is acceptable. There do not need to be any other member functions.

The Dog class should have aprivate member variable named breed that stores the breed of the dog. Add mutator and accessor functions for the breed variable and appropriate constructors.Redefine the getLifespan function to return “Approximately 7 years” if the dog’sweight is over 100 pounds and “Approximately 13 years” if the dog’s weight isunder 100 pounds.
