Chapter 9, Problem 4E

a. Write a FractionDemo program that instantiates several Fraction objects and demonstrates that their methods work correctly. Create a Fraction class with fields that hold a whole number, a numerator, and a denominator. In addition: Create properties for each field. The set access or for the denominator should not allow a 0 value; the value defaults to 1. Add three constructors. One takes three parameters for a whole number, numerator, and denominator. Another accepts two parameters for the numerator and denominator; when this constructor is used, the whole number value is 0. The last constructor is parameterless; it sets the whole number and numerator to 0 and the denominator to 1. (After construction, Fractions do not have to be reduced to proper form. For example, even though 3/9 could be reduced to 1/3, your constructors do not have to perform this task.) Add a Reduce() method that reduces a Fraction if it is in improper form. For example, 2/4 should be reduced to 1/2. Add an operator+() method that adds two Fractions. To add two fractions, first eliminate any whole number part of the value. For example, 2 1/4 becomes 9/4 and 1 3/5 becomes 8/5. Find a common denominator and convert the fractions to it. For example, when adding 9/4 and 8/5, you can convert them to 45/20 and 32/20. Then you can add the numerators, giving 77/20. Finally, call the Reduce() method to reduce the result, restoring any whole number value so the fractional part of the number is less than 1. For example, 77/20 becomes 3 17/20. Include a function that returns a string that contains a Fraction in the usual display format—the whole number, a space, the numerator, a slash (D, and a denominator. When the whole number is 0, just the Fraction part of the value should be displayed (for example, 1/2 instead of 0 1/2). If the numerator is 0, just the whole number should be displayed (for example, 2 instead of 2 0/3). b. Add an operator*() method to the Fraction class created in Exercise 11a so that it correctly multiplies two Fractions. The result should be in proper, reduced format. Demonstrate that the method works correctly in a program named FractionDemo2. c. Write a program named FractionDem03 that includes an array of four Fractions. Prompt the user for values for each. Display every possible combination of addition results and every possible combination of multiplication results for each Fraction pair (that is, each type will have 16 results).

For this lab task, you will work with classes and objects. Create a class named text that works similar to the built-in string class. You will need to define a constructor that can be used to initialize objects of this new class with some literal text. Next, define three methods: to_upper() that will convert all characters to uppercase, reverse() that will reverse the text and length() that will return the length of the text. After you have completed this part, copy the following mainfunction to your code and check if the implementation is correct. int main() { text sample = "This is a sample text"; cout << sample.to_upper(); // This should display "THIS IS A SAMPLE TEXT" cout << endl;cout << sample.reverse(); // This should display "txet elpmas a si sihT"cout << endl; cout << sample.length(); // This should display 21 }

Given main(), define the Artist class (in file Artist.java) with constructors to initialize an artist's information, get methods, and a printInfo() method. The default constructor should initialize the artist's name to "unknown" and the years of birth and death to -1. printInfo() displays "Artist:", then a space, then the artist's name, then another space, then the birth and death dates in one of three formats: (XXXX to YYYY) if both the birth and death years are nonnegative (XXXX to present) if the birth year is nonnegative and the death year is negative (unknown) otherwise Define the Artwork class (in file Artwork.java) with constructors to initialize an artwork's information, get methods, and a printInfo() method. The default constructor should initialize the title to "unknown", the year created to -1. printInfo() displays an artist's information by calling the printInfo() method in Artist.java, followed by the artwork's title and the year created.
