Submission: Moodle

Purpose: The purpose of this project is to allow you practice Object Oriented Design, Pointers, File

I$/$O$,$ Exception Handling, Functions and Arrays.

Problem Objective: The objective of this problem is to create a fully functioning system that handles

the records of students and staff at Concordia University. Based on the following narrative, you need

to come up with an Object$-$Oriented design to represent the different entities in the system.

Part $1$: Employees

At Concordia University, we have two different categories: students and staff members. Below are

the details for two categories of employees:

The initial information of staff members is maintained in a file called students.txt $($first line shows

the number of lines$).$ Each record in this file is composed of:

$$ Student first name

$$ Student last name

$$ Student id

$$ Date of birth

$$ GPA to the date $($Range: $0-4\mathrm{.}4)$

$$ Start year

$$ Completed credit

$$ Program $($B: bachelor, M: master$$s$,$ P: Ph$.$D$.)$

You need to create a class Student with the above attributes and following member functions:

$$ Setter and Getter Functions for of all the attributes

CompleteProgram$()$: This function returns true if the student has finished all the courses by comparing

the completed credits with the required credit for the program that the student is enrolled in$.$

$$ bachelor: $140$ credit

$$ Master: $16$

$$ Ph$.$D: $12$

$$ StudentStatus $()$: This function returns the status as below:

$$ if GPA$>=3\mathrm{.}5$ returns A$+$

$$ if GPA in the range of $3($inclusive$)-3\mathrm{.}5$: A

$$ if GPA in the range of $2\mathrm{.}5($inclusive$)-3$: B

$$ if GPA in the range of $2($inclusive$)-2\mathrm{.}5$: C

$$ Less than $2$: D

$2$

$$ Print$\_$Std$\_$Info$()$ : This function prints out all the information of one student $($all the attributes$).$

$-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------$

The initial information of staff members are maintained in a file called staff.txt $($first line shows the

number of lines$).$ Each record in this file is composed of:

$$ employee first name

$$ employee last name

$$ employee id

$$ data of hiring

$$ bonusCode

$$ current salary

You need to create a class Staff with the above attributes and following function members:

$$ Setter and Getter Functions for of all the attributes

$$ Print$\_$Stf$\_$Info$()$ : This function prints out all the information of one staff $($all the attributes$).$

$$ Calculate$\_$Salary$()$: calculate the new year salary based on the bonus code as below:

Code Bonus $\%$

A $8\%$

B $6\%$

C $3\%$

D $1\%$

E $0\%$

$($Note: an x$\%$ bonus indicated x$\%$ increase of the salary$)$

$-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------$

Student$\_$Staff Class:

You need to implement this class to read the input files and create the arrays of students and staff.

Attributes:

a pointer to an array of students

a pointer to an array of staff

Constructor$()$:

Reads student.txt files and creates a dynamic array of students

Reads staff.txt files and creates a dynamic array of staff

$3$

Member functions:

Highest$\_$GPA$()$: This function accepts an array of students and size. Then prints out the

information of the one who has the highest GPA

N$\_$of$\_$UnderGrad$()$: This function accept an array of students, and size and returns the total

number of undergraduate students

Same$\_$Hire$\_$Year$()$: This function accepts an array of staff, and size and a hiring year and prints

out the name of all staff who have been hired in that year.

$-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------$

Part $2$: Driver:

a$)$ In the driver you will test your system. You first create an object of Student$\_$Staff class to be

able to read the input files and create your student and staff arrays. Then you need to test the

member functions of the Student$\_$Staff Class and show the results.

b$)$ To test the functions in the Student and Staff classes, you can manually create the student

and staff objects and call different functions for these two classes. Another option is to use

the objects that you have created in part a$.$

Note: You need to store the information of at least five students or staff in your input files

$($studenst$.$txt and staff.txt$)$
