Questions

  1. Consider a pair of classes from one of your previous exercises containing an object relationship (hint – public inheritance will be easier to consider than association).
    1. Do your classes follow the canonical class form? Orthodox or extended? Why, or why not? If they do not and should, revise the classes to follow this idiom.
    2. Would you consider your classes robust? Why, or why not?
  2. Create a driver (or two) to test your pair of classes:
    1. Be sure to test for the usual checklist of items (construction, assignment, destruction, the public interface, upcasting (if applicable), and use of a virtual function).
    2. (Optional) If you selected two classes related using association, create a separate driver to follow a typical scenario detailing the interaction of the two classes.
    3. Be sure to include testing of exception handling in one of your test drivers.
  3. Create a ConstructionException class (derived from the C++ Standard Library exception). Embed checks within your constructors...
