C++ Classes: Print and Update Person's Kids

[ineedhelpnow]

Print person1's kids, apply the IncNumKids() function, and print again, outputting text as below. End each line with newline.
Sample output for below program:

Kids: 3
New baby, kids now: 4
Sample program:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class PersonInfo {
   public:
      void   SetNumKids(int personsKids);
      void   IncNumKids();
      int    GetNumKids() const;
   private:
      int    numKids;
};

void PersonInfo::SetNumKids(int personsKids) {
   numKids = personsKids;
   return;
}

void PersonInfo::IncNumKids() {
   numKids = numKids + 1;
   return;
}

int PersonInfo::GetNumKids() const {
   return numKids;
}

int main() {
   PersonInfo person1;

   person1.SetNumKids(3);

   <STUDENT CODE>

   return 0;
}

Below, do not type an entire program. Only type the portion indicated by the above instructions (and if a sample program is shown above, only type the <STUDENT CODE> portion.)

ok so i got this part so far which is correct according to the homework:

cout << "Kids: " <<person1.GetNumKids()<< endl;
PersonInfo IncNumKids;
cout << "New baby, kids now: " << I DONT KNOW WHAT TO PUT HERE<<endl;

i can't figure out what will display the number afterwards. I am guessing it has to do with IncNumKids but i don't know what.

Hi Pippy! (Smile)Writing [m]person1.GetNumKids()[/m] is like asking person1 how many kids he has.
Then you can print that with [m]cout[/m] as you have. Good! (Nod)When he gets a baby, you need to tell him he has an extra kid by writing [m]person1.IncNumKids()[/m].
That is, that person1 should increment the number of kids he has. (Thinking)Afterwards, you can ask again how many kids he has with [m]person1.GetNumKids()[/m] and print that. (Wasntme)

cout << "Kids: " <<person1.GetNumKids()<< endl;
PersonInfo IncNumKids;
person1.IncNumKids();
cout << "New baby, kids now: " <<person1.GetNumKids() <<endl;

it worked
