C/C++ How to Define the Missing Function in a Dog License Number Program?

[ineedhelpnow]

i have another question i need help with
Define the missing function. licenseNumber is created as: (100000 * customID) + licenseYear. Sample output:

Dog license: 77702014
Sample program:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class DogLicense{
   public:
      void   SetYear(int yearRegistered);
      void   CreateLicenseNum(int customID);
      int    GetLicenseNum() const;
   private:
      int    licenseYear;
      int    licenseNum;
};

void DogLicense::SetYear(int yearRegistered) {
   licenseYear = yearRegistered;
   return;
}

// FIXME: Write CreateLicenseNum()
<STUDENT CODE> 

int DogLicense::GetLicenseNum() const {
   return licenseNum;
}

int main() {
   DogLicense dog1;
  
   dog1.SetYear(2014);
   dog1.CreateLicenseNum(777);
   cout << "Dog license: " << dog1.GetLicenseNum() << endl;

   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.)

normally if i look at something long enough I am able to figure it out but this one just isn't clicking. how do i do it?

Hey! (Smile)

For CreateLicenseNum() we need to the same thing as is already there for SetYear().
But instead of simply copying the parameter, we need to calculate with the given formula what to store. (Thinking)

so something like this?

void DogLicense::CreateLicenseNum(int licenseNumber) {
   licenseNumber =  (100000 * customID) + licenseYear;
   return;
}

Yep. Something like that. (Smile)
It's just that the parameter should be customID instead.
Just like it says in the class definition.
Otherwise it won't compile. (Worried)

you mean like this

void DogLicense::CreateLicenseNum(int customID) {
  int licenseNumber =  (100000 * customID) + licenseYear;
   return;
}

  int licenseNumber =  (100000 * customID) + licenseYear;
   return;
}

Yep. (Smile)

Except that you've introduced an 'int' that shouldn't be there.

but if i don't put int i get the message that 'licenseNumber’ was not declared in this scope. don't i have to use int to introduce the variable?

The class contains a data member named [m]licenseNum[/m], which is the one that needs to be initialized.
Perhaps you can change 'licenseNumber' into 'licenseNum'? (Wondering)

 

[ineedhelpnow]

it finally worked!

void DogLicense::CreateLicenseNum(int customID) {
  licenseNum =  (100000 * customID) + licenseYear;
   return;
}
