Inheritance Lab Report: Musicians Class

The document outlines an inheritance lab report for a programming assignment involving the creation of a Musicians class with functions for different instrument categories and a derived TypeIns class for displaying instrument types. It discusses the implementation details, including access modifiers and user interface challenges, as well as known bugs related to user input. The author reflects on the successful implementation and suggests improvements for future iterations, such as enhancing the user interface.

Inheritance Lab Report

Assignment Description:

Create a class called Musicians to contain three functions string ( ), wind ( ) and perc ( ).

Each of these functions should initialize a string array to contain the following instruments:

- veena, guitar, sitar, sarod and mandolin under string ( )

- flute, clarinet saxophone, nadhaswaram and piccolo under wind ( )

- tabla, mridangam, bangos, drums and tambour under perc ( )

It should also display the contents of the arrays that are [Link] a derived class called

TypeIns to contain a function called get ( ) and show ( ). The get ( ) function must display a

means as follows:

Type of instruments to be displayed

a. String instruments

b. ind instruments

c. Percussion instruments

The show ( ) function should display the relevant detail according to our choice. The base class

variables must be accessible only to its derived classes.


Discussion:

• Solution: The program implements a base class called Musicians that contained the

arrays and the functions to assign and display the arrays, followed by a derived class

called Typeins which added functions to get and show the data stored in the arrays of

the base class.

• Flowchart:

Class: Musicians

Protected:

string stringArr[5];

string windArr[5];

string percArr[5];

Public:

Void strings()

Void wind()

Void perc()

Class: Typeins

Public:

Int get()

Void show()

• Major Implementation Issues:

o Properly deciding the access modifier for members of each class to adequately

allow proper permissions for the derived class and main class.
o Constructing a functioning UI that allows for effective input as well as efficiency.

• Screenshots:

• Known Bugs and Errors:

o When asking for user input, if the value is not 1,2, or 3, the program does not do

anything and keeps on asking the user for an input.

• Lessons Learned:

o What went well: The program was successfully implemented and allowed the

user to view each element in each array through a derived class.


o What will be done differently next time: Next time, the user interface should be

more seamless and smooth. Right now, the only way to quit was to type -1, but

perhaps next time I could make the user type “quit.”
