LAB-8:

This exercise is to overload the operator parentheses () operator to allow another form of double array subscripting like: Array [row] [column] for any array of objects, overload the function call operator to allow the alternate form: Array (row, column).

Please create a C++ class named DoubleArray to access the elements of a 5-by-5 matrix A in the form of A (row, column). the operator () should provide the correct pointer operation. In addition, you should provide the functions to correctly overload the operator ==, !=, <<,>> to compare, input, and output the elements of the matrix.

LAB-9:

In this lab, you need to create a C++ class hierarchy, it contains a base class named Package and two inherited classes named TwoDayPackageand OvernightPackage. In the base class Package, you will need to provide several private data members such as SenderName, ReceiverName, Address, City, Province, ZipCode, Weight, and UnitPrice. A default constructor function should be provided to initialize all data members and make sure that the values of Weight and UnitPrice are positive numbers. A public member function named calculateCost should also be provided to obtain the final price of package delivery.

In terms of the inherited class of TwoDayPackage and OvernightPackage, they should inherit all functions of base class Package. Two additional data members named TwoDayCost and OvernightCost should be provided and initialized. Moreover, the implementation of member functions calculateCost in each inherited class should be updated accordingly by adding the TwoDayCost and OvernightCost to the previous costs obtained in the base class Package.

Please make sure that you define and implement both base and inherited classes in separate header and *.cpp files, respectively, seven files in total (i.e., header files for class definition (*.h); implementation file for class as *.cpp for one base class and two inherited classes, and your execution file (main.cpp)) should be submitted with the screenshot of your final result, thanks!

LAB-10:

In this lab, you will need to create a three-layer C++ class hierarchy, it contains a base class named Shape with the virtual member function GetArea. It has a second-layer inherited class named TwoDimensionalObject which contains the virtual member functions of GetArea and GetPerimeter. Moreover, The TwoDimensionalObject has four third-layer inherited classes named Rectangle, Square, Circle and Triangle. For each two-dimensional object, you will need to implement the specific member functions (i.e., GetArea and GetPerimeter) in their own class to obtain the AREA and PERIMETER using correct methods.

Please make sure that you define and implement both base and inherited classes in separate header and *.cpp files, respectively, and create the three-layer class hierarchy.

Moreover, please overload the operator parentheses ( ) to allow accessing an element through the array subscripting like: Array [row] [column], overload the function call operator to allow the alternate form: Array (row, column).

Please create a C++ class named AnyArray to access the elements of a 5-by-5 matrix A in the form of A (row, column). the operator ( ) should provide the correct pointer operation. In addition, you should provide the functions to correctly overload the operator ==, !=, <<,>> to compare, input, and output the elements of the matrix.
