Hi guys, I'm still new to C++ and get confused by the codes below..
class FLATMATE
{
string name;
public:
FLATMATE() { name = "";}
FLATMATE(string n){name = n;}
string getName(){return name;}
void setResident(string n){name = n;}
};class DUTY
{
FLATMATE resident; //name of the flatmate
int RequestOffer; //amount of dollars used to do request
FLATMATE AcceptedBy; //acceptee
public:
DUTY(FLATMATE f){resident = f;}
FLATMATE & getResident(){return resident;}
void setRequestOffer(int f){RequestOffer = f;}
int getRequestOffer(){return RequestOffer;}
void setAcceptedBy(FLATMATE b){AcceptedBy = b;}
FLATMATE getAcceptedBy(){return AcceptedBy;}
};Above are the classes and when the function calls the class method, it is a bit weird...
after storing
void DUTYLISTAPP::WashList(string filename)
{
ifstream myfile("FlatData1.dat");
int day; //2 weeks, 0-13 days
string RequesterName;
int RequestOffer;
int RequestToDate;
string Accepter;
WASH *WashPtr;
FLATMATE *residentptr, *residentptr1;
if(!myfile)
{
cout<<"can't open file "<<endl;
exit(1);
}
while(true)
{
myfile>>day;
if(myfile.eof()) break;
myfile >> RequesterName;
residentptr = new FLATMATE(RequesterName);
WashPtr = new WASH(*residentptr, day);
myfile>>RequestOffer;
WashPtr->setRequestOffer(RequestOffer);
myfile>>RequestToDate;
WashPtr->setDayTo(RequestToDate);
myfile>>Accepter;
residentptr1 = new FLATMATE(Accepter);
WashPtr->setAcceptedBy(*residentptr1);
WashDutyList.push_back(*WashPtr);
}
}we call the method
void DUTYLISTAPP::ShowRoster()
{
for(int j =0; j<WashDutyList.size();j++)
{
cout<<(WashDutyList.at(j)).getDayFrom()<<"\t";
cout<<(WashDutyList.at(j)).getResident().getName()<<"\t";
cout<<(WashDutyList.at(j)).getRequestOffer()<<"\t";
cout<<(WashDutyList.at(j)).getDayTo()<<"\t";
cout<<(WashDutyList.at(j)).getAcceptedBy().getName()<<endl;
}
}I just don't understand why we need to use WashDutyList.at(j)).getResident().getName() to get the name, i thought every object is stored in vector so we can just use WashDutyList.at(j)).getName() to get the name? Any advice is greatly appreciated!
