3. Allocation of marks
When we mark assignments, we comment on your answers. Many students make the same mistakes and
consequently we discuss general problems in the tutorial letters. It is, therefore, important to work through
the tutorial letters and to make sure you understand our solutions and where you went wrong.
The maximum number of marks you could obtain for Assignment 2 is 80. This is converted to a
percentage. If you for instance obtained 40 marks for Assignment 2, you received 50% for Assignment
2. This percentage in turn contributes a weight of 80% to the year mark, as can be seen in the
summary of the weights allocated to the assignments for COS1512 below.
Assignment Weight

Questions 2 and 4 have not been marked. However, 5 marks are awarded for question 2 and 10 marks for
question 4 if you attempted questions 2 and 4 (note that this is not the way in which questions will be
marked in the examination!). We include complete solutions for all questions.
The marks you received for question 1 were determined on the following basis:
Question not done 0/5
Question attempted, but the program does not work at all 1/5
A good attempt, but there are a few problems with your answer 3/5
The program works correctly and produces the correct output 5/5
For question 3(a), a maximum of 2 marks were awarded and for question 3(b), a maximum of 3 marks, i.e.
5 marks in total.
The marks you received for questions 5 and 6 was determined on the following basis:
The marks you received for question 7 was determined on the following basis:
In other words, you can obtain a maximum of 5 marks for questions 1, 2 and 3; a maximum of 10 marks for
question 4; a maximum of 20 marks for questions 5 and 6; and a maximum of 15 marks for question 7.
Note that not all mistakes are corrected – but we will provide informative comments.
If you did not include the program output for questions 1, it means there are “a few problems with your
answer” and the maximum you can get is then 3/5. If you did not include the program output for questions
5 and 6, it means there are “a few problems with your answer” and the maximum you can get is then 15/20.
If you did not include the program output for question 7, it means there are “a few problems with your
answer” and the maximum you can get is then 10/15.

We did not award any marks to assignments submitted more than four weeks after the due date.
However, we still provided informative comments.
4. Solution to Assignment
Question 1 [max of 5 marks]
Discussion:
For this question, you had to convert the struct Employee into a class. There is essentially only a
slight difference between a struct and a class. A class is the same as a struct (i.e. a struct may
also contain both member variables and member functions just like a class, even though the examples in
Savitch do not show that) except that, by default, all members are inaccessible to the general user of the
class. This means that all members of a struct are by default public, and all members of a class are
by default private. Therefore, we have to specify that the member functions are public. (As an
exercise, omit the public keyword from the class and recompile it.) While there are situations where a
struct is more suitable, as a rule, you should use classes rather than structs. In general, it is preferable
to use classes, as classes offer better protection.
An object encapsulates or combines data and operations on that data into a single unit. In C++, the
mechanism that allows you to combine data and the operations on that data in a single unit is called a
class.
A class can be seen as a user-defined data type. We use a class to declare or instantiate an object.
When an object of a specific class is instantiated, the constructor for the class is called by default. The
purpose of the constructor is to initialise the member variables of the object automatically. This means that
a constructor should not include instructions to obtain values for the member variables (cin statements). It
also means that the member variables should not be re-declared inside the constructor, since these
variables will then be local to the function, and will prevent the constructor function from accessing the
member variables to initialise them. Study the constructor for class Employee as shown below to see how
these concepts are implemented:
Employee:: Employee () //constructor
//Note: no cin statements and no variable declrations
{
firstName = " ";
lastName = " ";
salary = 0;
}
As firstName, lastName, and salary are private member variables (see page 549 of Savitch 6 th
edition/ page 581 of Savitch 7th edition/ pages 573-582 of Savitch, 8th edition/pages 589-595 of Savitch, 9th
edition) of class Employee, they cannot be accessed directly in the main() function. As a result, public
member functions getFirstName(), getLastName() and getSalary()are used to access these
5 COS1512/202/2/2017
member variables in order to determine their values. These functions are known as accessor functions,
while setFirstName(), setLastName() and setSalary() are mutator functions. (Study pages 553
– 554 of Savitch, 6th edition/ pages 585 -586 of Savitch 7th edition/ pages 581-582 of Savitch, 8th edition/
pages 597-598 of Savitch, 9th edition).
Note the prototypes for member functions:

string getFirstName()const;
string getLastName()const;
float getSalary()const;
These member function are accessors - hence the const keyword at the end of the function definition.
Note that a member function that does not have the const keyword at the end of it could mutate (change
or modify) the state of the object.
Note that the purpose of an accessor function (a function whose name starts with get, and sometimes
called a get function) is not to obtain an input value for the member variable from a user, BUT to return the
current value of the member variable. Accessor functions need to indicate a return type corresponding
to the member variable for which it returns a value. An accessor function has no parameters. Since an
accessor function is a member function of the class, it refers directly to the member variable which value it
should return in the body of the function, i.e. there is no need to declare (and return) a local variable inside
an accessor function. In fact, if you do declare a local variable inside an accessor function, and return the
value of the local variable, it will NOT return the current value of the member variable!
Study the accessor function getFirstName() to see how these concepts are implemented:
//Accessors to retrieve (get) data from each of member variables
//Note: no parameters; return type of member function is the same as the
type
//of the member variable whose value is returned; and no variable
declarations
string Employee::getFirstName()const
{
return firstName;
}
Mutator functions are used to change or modify member variables of an object. The parameter of the
mutator function typically indicates the value according to which the member variable should be changed.
For example, the mutator function setFirstName()below modifies member variable firstName to the
string in variable d:
void Invoice::setFirstName(string d)
{
description = d;
}
Program listing:
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;
//declare class type

class Employee
{
public:
Employee();
Employee(const string fName, const string lName, const float sal);
void setFirstName(string fName);
void setLastName(string lName);
void setSalary(float sal);
string getFirstName()const;
string getLastName()const;
float getSalary()const;
private:
string firstName;
string lastName;
float salary;
};
//Implement class
Employee::Employee()
{
firstName = " ";
lastName = " ";
salary = 0;
}
Employee::Employee(const string fName, const string lName,

const float sal)
{
firstName = fName;
lastName = lName;
salary = sal;
}
void Employee::setLastName(string lName)

{
lastName = lName;
}
void Employee::setFirstName(string fName)

{
firstName = fName;

cout << anotherEmployee.getFirstName() << ' '
<< anotherEmployee.getLastName() << "'s salary is R"
<< anotherEmployee.getSalary() << endl << endl;
//Give employees a 10% raise

float raise = anEmployee.getSalary() * 1.1;
8
anEmployee.setSalary(raise);
raise = anotherEmployee.getSalary() * 1.1;
anotherEmployee.setSalary(raise);
//Display employee's salaries again

cout << "Having received a 10% raise employees salaries are now:"
<< endl;
cout << anEmployee.getFirstName() << ' ' << anEmployee.getLastName()

<< anEmployee.getSalary() << endl;
cout << anotherEmployee.getFirstName() << ' '
<< anotherEmployee.getLastName() << "'s salary is R"
<< anotherEmployee.getSalary() << endl;
return 0;
}
Input and output:

Please enter first name of employee: Joanne
Enter last name of employee: Soape
Enter salary for employee: 15446.66
Joe Soap's salary is R1456.00

Joanne Soape's salary is R15446.66
Having received a 10% raise employees salaries are now:

Joe Soap's salary is R1601.60
Joanne Soape's salary is R16991.33

Question 2 [This question was not marked, and 5 marks were allocated for
attempting it]
(a) What is the purpose of the keywords public and private in the class declaration?
Member variables and member functions declared following a private label are accessible only to other
member functions of the class.√ Data members and member functions following a public label are
accessible to functions that are not members of the class (client functions).
(b) What is the difference between a class and an object?

A class can be seen as a user-defined data type. A class is a type whose variables are objects. We use a
class to declare or instantiate an object.
An object is a variable that has functions associated with it. These functions are called member functions.
The object‟s class determines which member functions the object has.
(c) What does it mean to „instantiate’ an object?

To „instantiate’ an object means to declare or create an object. This will allocate memory to the object
where the values of the object‟s member variables can be stored. It will also initialize those member
variable to the values specified in the object‟s constructor.
(d) What is the purpose of a constructor?

9 COS1512/202/2/2017
A constructor is automatically invoked when an object is instantiated (declared). The constructor can
initialise some or all of the object‟s data members to appropriate values.
(e) What is the difference between the default constructor and the overloaded constructor?
The default constructor takes no arguments. The default constructor is automatically invoked when an
object is instantiated. An overloaded constructor is a constructor with arguments so that the user can
specify the values with which the object should be initialized.
(f) What is the purpose of a destructor?

Like constructors, destructors are also functions and do not have a return type. However, a class may have
only one destructor and the destructor has no parameters. The name of a destructor is the tilde character
(~) followed by the name of the class. The destructor automatically executes when the class object goes
out of scope and releases the memory used by the object.
(g) What is the purpose of an accessor?

An accessor is a member function that accesses the contents of an object in order to return the value of a
specific member variable. An accessor for an object does not modify that object. This is why it is good
practice to use the keyword const when accessors are defined.
(h) What is the purpose of a mutator?

A mutator is a member function that can modify an object. Every non-const member function of a class is
potentially a mutator. In the simplest case, a mutator just assigns a new value to one of the data members
of the class. In general, a mutator performs some computation and modifies any number of data members
(i) What is the purpose of the scope resolution operator?

The scope resolution operator :: is used to specify the class name when giving the function definition for
a member function.
(j) What is the difference between the scope resolution operator and the dot operator?
The scope resolution operator is used to indicate the class name to which an object belongs, whereas the
dot operator is used to indicate to which object a member variable belongs.
(k) What is the difference between a member function and an ordinary function?
A member function is a function that is associated with an object. An ordinary function belongs to the main
program.
(l) What is an abstract data type (ADT)?

An ADT is a data type that separates the logical properties from the implementation details, i.e. the
interface and the implementation of the class are separated.
(m) How do we create an ADT?

We define an ADT as a class and place the definition of the class and implementation of its member
functions in separate files. √ The ADT class is then compiled separately from any program that uses it.
(n) What are the advantages of using ADTs?

ADTs prevent programmers who use the ADT from having access to the details of how the values and
operations are implemented. The user of the ADT only knows about the interface of the ADT and need not
know anything about the implementation. This protects the ADT against inadvertent changes. The same
ADT class can be used in any number of different programs.
(o) What is separate compilation?

Separate compilation means that a program is divided into parts that are kept in separate files, compiled
separately and then linked together when the program is run.
10
(p) What are the advantages of separate compilation?

Separate compilation allows programmers to build up a library of classes so that many programs can use
the same class.
(q) What is a derived class?

A derived class is a class that was obtained from another class by adding features through inheritance to
create a specialized class, which also includes the features of the base class.
(r) What is the purpose of inheritance?

Inheritance allows one to define a general class and then define more specialized classes by adding
some new details to the existing general class.

(a) For this question, you were given the following class declaration, and code fragment. You had
to explain what is wrong and in the code and write code to correct it:
class Person
{
public:
Person();
string getFirstName();
private:
string ID;
string lastName;
string firstName;
string phoneNumber;
};
int main()
{
Person p;
……
string pNumber = p. class Person
{
public:
Person();
string getFirstName();
private:
string ID;
string lastName;
string firstName;
string phoneNumber;
};
int main()
{
Person p;
……
string pNumber = p.phoneNumber;
return 0;
}
11 COS1512/202/2/2017
From the class declaration, it can be seen that the member variable phoneNumber is private
and cannot be accessed directly. Only member functions of class Person have direct access
to member variable phoneNumber of object p. To allow access from outside to the private
member variables of object e, we need to define an accessor function for
getPhoneNumber(), i.e. change the class definition as shown in bold:
class Person
{
public:
Person();
string getName();
string getPhoneNumber();√
private:
string ID;
string lastName;
string firstName;
string phoneNumber;
};
:
:
int main()
{
Person p;
……
string pNumber = p.getPhoneNumber(); √
return 0;
}
(b) For this part of the question, you had to explain what is wrong with the following code fragment,
and then write code to correct it:
Person me, friends[10];

for (int i = 0; i <10; i++)
{
if (me.firstName == friends.firstname[i])
cout << "My friend no " << i
<< " has the same first name as me!";
}
This code fragment contains two errors. As in 3(a), member variable firstname is private to
class Person and an accessor function is required to return its value. Also, the index to array
friends should appear directly after the name of the array, instead of after the name of the
member variable. The member variable firstName is not an array.
class Person
{
public:
Person();
string getName();
string getPhoneNumber();
string getFirstname();√
private:
string ID;
12
string lastName;
string firstName;
string phoneNumber;
};
Person me, friends[10];

for (int i = 0; i <10; i++)
{
if (me.getFirstName() == friends[i].getFirstname())√ √
cout << "My friend no " << i
<< " has the same first name as me!";
}
Question 4 [This question has not been marked. A max of 10 marks if you
attempted this question]
There are many acceptable solutions to this program. The purpose of this question was just to allow
you to get your hands dirty with designing and implementing your own class – not a trivial exercise, but
very time-consuming to mark each individual version, which is why we only show our own (very simple)
version.
We designed our Book class to contain information such as the title of the book, the author of the book,
the price, and the number of copies in stock. We did not use separate compilation.
Our class should be able to do the following:

 Retrieve the title of the book
 Retrieve the author of the book
 Retrieve the price
 Retrieve the number of copies in stock
 Set the title of the book
 Set the author of the book
 Set the price
 Set the number of copies in stock
 Apply the discount percentage to adapt the price of the book
 Display the information available for one book
In the application we use a loop to obtain information for 3 books. Then we use two loops to first count
and list the books where are more than 20 copies in stock, adapt the price according to the discount,
and then to display the updated list of info for the books.
Program listing:
#include <iostream>
//class defintion
class Book
{
13 COS1512/202/2/2017

cout << "Please enter the price in R: ";
cin >> dPrice;
bookShop[i].setPrice(dPrice);
cout << "Please enter the number of copies in stock: ";
cin >> iNr;
bookShop[i].setNrInStock(iNr);
cin.get();
cout << endl;
}
//Determine number of books with more than 2 copies in stock and display
info
cout << "List of books where there are more than 20 copies in stock:"
<< endl;
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
if (bookShop[i].getNrInStock() > 20)
{
++count; //count number of books with more than 20 in stock
bookShop[i].DisplayInfo(); //display books with more than
//20 in stock
bookShop[i].CalcSalePrice(15); //discount price with 15%
cout << endl;
}
}
cout << "There are " << count << " books where there are more than 20 "
<< "copies in stock." << endl << endl;
//Display info for all books

cout << " List of all books in stock with updated info:" << endl;
for (int i = 0; i < 3; i++)
{
bookShop[i].DisplayInfo();
cout << endl;
}
cout << endl;
return 0;
}

Discussion:
There are various solutions to this question. The concepts of declaring a class of objects may be new to
you, and you may have struggled to implement it. We hope that after studying our solution you will
understand it, and be able to apply it.
 If a class has constructors and you declare an array of class objects, the class must have the
default constructor. The default constructor is used to initialise each (array) class object.
 The declaration statement
Book bookShop[3];
declares an array named bookShop that contains 3 elements that each is of type Book.
Note the three Goodbye!s in the output indicating that the destructor was called three times.
 We refer to a specific member function of a specific element in the array by using the dot operator
“.”.
17 COS1512/202/2/2017
For this question, you had to define a class Team as an Abstract Data Type (ADT), so that separate files
are used for the interface and implementation. See section 10.3, page 573 – 582 of Savitch 6th edition /
page 605-614 of Savitch 7th / page 601-610 of Savitch 8th edition/ page 618 - 627 of Savitch 9th edition for
more on ADT‟s and section 12.1, page 683-693 of Savitch 6th edition / page 726-741 of Savitch 7th / page
717-727 of Savitch 8th edition/ page 734-744 of Savitch 9th edition for more on separate compilation.
C++ has facilities for dividing a program into parts that are kept in separate files, compiled separately, and
then linked together when the program is run. The header (.h) files are effectively the interfaces of the
different classes, and the .cpp files contain the implementations.
For this exercise, you should have created three files:
Team.h
Team.cpp
main.cpp
Discussion:
You had to define a class Team as an ADT with member variables country, round, points, goalsFor
and goalsAgainst. The class contains
 a default constructor,
 an overloaded constructor,
 a destructor,
 accessor and mutator functions for each of the member variables,
 a void member function reset();
 two member functions calcGoalDifference() and update()
 and overloaded friend functions for the operators ==, >, ++ as well as for the stream extraction
operator >> and the stream insertion operator <<.
Consider operators ==, > and ++ overloaded as friend functions of the class Team:
friend bool operator>(const Team &Team1, const Team &Team2);
friend bool operator==(const Team &Team1, const Team &Team2);
Note, the const keyword is used to guarantee that these functions will not modify the Team objects.
When we compare two Team objects with == or >, we do not want to change or modify the objects we
compare. The same situation holds if we would define + and – operators for class Team. A friend
function may manipulate the underlying structure of the class but the const keyword ensures that these
manipulations do not modify the object in any possible way. We cannot place a const at the end of each
prototype as the function is not a member function.
The relational friend functions == and > return boolean values. Operator== returns true when the
points member variables and the goal difference of the two teams are the same. Operator> returns
true when the points member variable of Team1 is bigger than that of Team2; or if the points member
variable of Team1 is equal to that of Team2 and the goal difference of Team1 is bigger than that of Team2.
The prefix operator++ is a unary operator, which means that it takes only one operand, in contrast to
binary operators such as + or – which use two operands. Therefore, when overloading the prefix
operator++ as a friend function, only one parameter is specified, which represents the object that we
want to increment:
friend Team operator++(Team &T);
Since the object will be modified in the friend function, it must be a reference parameter. In this
implementation of the prefix operator++, we increment the round member variable of the object:
18
Team operator++(Team &T)

{
++T.round;
return T;
}
See also the discussion on Question 2(h) in this tutorial letter.
Note the difference between the overloaded friend functions for the stream extraction operator >> and the
stream insertion operator <<:
friend ostream & operator<<(ostream & out, const Team & T);
friend istream & operator>>(istream & ins, Team & T);
The overloaded stream insertion operator << uses the const keyword to ensure that the object which is
sent to the output stream will not be modified. In the case of the overloaded stream extraction operator >>,
the object retrieved from the input stream, must change. The overloaded stream insertion operator <<
modifies the output stream and the overloaded stream extraction operator >> modifies the input stream,
therefore both the ostream and the istream must be reference parameters.
Also, note that in the implementation of the overloaded operator >> we do not use cout statements to
tell the user to type in input, or in what format the input should be. The purpose of overloading the operator
>> is to allow us to use the operator >> to read in (extract) an object in the same way we would use it to
read in or extract an ordinary variable. Consider the implementation of the overloaded >>:
istream & operator>>(istream & ins, Team & T)
{
ins >> T.country;
ins >> T.round;
ins >> T.points;
ins >> T.goalsFor;
ins >> T.goalsAgainst;
return ins;
}
and the way it is used in the application:

Team opponent, newOpponent;
cout << "Enter data for new opponent (country, round, points, goals "
<< "for and goals against): ";
cin >> newOpponent;
In the same way, we overload the stream insertion operator << in order to be able to use it as follows:
Team home("South-Africa", 1, 4, 6, 4);
opponent.reset("Germany", 1, 4, 6, 4);
cout << "The home team is: " << endl << home << endl;
cout << "The opponent team is " << endl << opponent << endl;

Tip:
When coding a large abstract data type (ADT) it is best to write the member functions in a stepwise
manner. The idea here is to “Code in small increments and then test.” For instance, code the constructors
and the friend function > initially. Then write a small test program to check if these member functions
work properly. You could probably write the code for the friend function ++ next. Then include
24
statements in your test program to test the friend function ++. In other words, you should not write the
entire implementation (Team.cpp) and then commence with testing. By coding stepwise, it is easier to
isolate errors.

Discussion:
For this question, you had to define a class Student as an Abstract Data Type (ADT), so that separate
files are used for the interface and implementation. See section 10.3, page 573 – 582 of Savitch 6th edition
/ page 605-614 of Savitch 7th / page 601-610 of Savitch 8th edition/ page 618 - 627 of Savitch 9th edition for
more on ADT‟s and section 12.1, page 683-693 of Savitch 6th edition / page 726-741 of Savitch 7th / page
717-727 of Savitch 8th edition/ page 734-744 of Savitch 9th edition for more on separate compilation.
For this exercise, you should have created three files:

Student.h
Studdent.cpp
main.cpp
The ADT class Student has member variables name, ID, stdtNr, diploma, modules[5],
results[5] and average. The class contains
 a default constructor,
 a destructor,
 accessor and mutator functions where needed to get or set the values of member variables,
 an bool member function pass() that converts to determine whether or not a student has
passed a module,
 a void member function calcAverage() that calculates the average of the five results for the
five modules,
 a void member function displayResults () that displays a Student’s results after the
examinations,
 and an overloaded friend function for the stream insertion operator <<.
Note the const in the header for the overloaded friend functions for the stream insertion operator <<:
friend ostream& operator << (ostream& outs, const Student& stud);
The overloaded stream insertion operator << uses the const keyword to ensure that the object which is
sent to the output stream will not be modified. In the case of an overloaded stream extraction operator >>,
the object retrieved from the input stream, must change, and should therefore not have a const in the
header, e.g.
friend istream& operator >> (istream& ins, Student& stud);
The overloaded stream insertion operator << modifies the output stream and the overloaded stream
extraction operator >> modifies the input stream, therefore both the ostream and the istream must be
reference parameters.
We overload the stream insertion operator << as follows:
ostream& operator << (ostream& outs, const Student& stud)

{
outs << stud.name << stud.ID << stud.stdtNr << stud.diploma;
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
outs << stud.modules[i];
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
outs << stud.results[i];
outs << stud.average;
25 COS1512/202/2/2017
return outs;
}
in order to be able to use it as follows:
outfile << stud;

or
outfile << registeredStudents[i];
Tips for separate compilation with multiple files:

 Only the .cpp files should be „added‟ to the project.
 All files must be in the same directory or folder as the project file.
 The .cpp files must contain the preprocessor directive to include the .h files.
e.g. #include "Student.h"
Note that all the files (Student.h, Student.cpp and main.cpp) must be in the same folder.

For this question you had to implement the class Prescription. You should have used separate

compilation. The interface or header file Prescription.h and implementation Prescription.cpp of

class Prescription are shown below.

cout << "Patient: " << patientName << endl;
cout << "Medical Aid Fund: " << medAidFund<< endl;
cout << "Medical Aid Number: " << medAidNr<< endl;
cout.precision(2);
7 (b)
You had to test your implementation of class Prescription in a driver program which use the
overloaded constructor to instantiate an object of class Prescription, use the accessor functions to
display the medicine prescribed, the patient, the medical aid fund, the medical aid number and the cost.
Then a new price based on the discount discount had to be calculated using member function
33 COS1512/202/2/2017
Discount() and member function DisplayInfo() had to be used to display the updated information
about the prescription.
Main.cpp
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
Prescription myPrescription ("Panado", "John Apfelbaum",
"THEAID", 12345, 39.59);
int percentage;
cout << "The medicine prescribed is "
<< myPrescription.getMedicine() << endl;
cout << "The patient for whom it is prescribed is "
<< myPrescription.getPatient() << endl;
cout << "This patient belongs to "
<< myPrescription.getMedAidFund()
<< " and the medical aid number is "
<< myPrescription.getMedAidNr() << endl;
cout.precision(2);
cout << "The price for the medicine is R"
<< myPrescription.getPrice() << endl << endl;
cout << "What is the discount percentage? ";
cin >> percentage;
myPrescription.Discount(percentage); //recalculate cost based on
//discount
cout << endl << "The discounted price is R"
<< myPrescription.getPrice() << endl;
cout << endl << "Updated info for prescription:" << endl;
myPrescription.DisplayInfo();
cout << endl;
return 0;
}
Output:
The medicine prescribed is Panado
The patient for whom it is prescribed is John Apfelbaum
This patient belongs to THEAID and the medical aid number is 12345
The price for the medicine is R39.59
What is the discount percentage? 10
The discounted price is R35.63
Updated info for prescription:

Medicine prescribed: Panado
Patient: John Apfelbaum
Medical Aid Fund: THEAID
Medical Aid Number: 12345
Price: R35.63

In this question you had to derive a class RepeatPrescription from class Prescription and
implement it.

In this question you had to test the class RepeatPrescription derived from class Prescription in a

as part of the project files, and the header file Prescription.h must be included in the application file
with the #include "Prescription.h" directive. Both Prescription.h and Prescription.cpp
also need to be in the same folder as the other files for class RepeatPrescription.
Application file:
#include <iostream>
#include "RepeatPrescription.h"
int main()
{
RepeatPrescription myPrescription ("Myprodol", "Annie Apfelbaum",
"THEAID", 43215, 89.59, 1, "20170620");

string today; // for today's date

cout << "The medicine prescribed is " << myPrescription.getMedicine()
<< endl;
cout << "The patient for whom it is prescribed is "
<< myPrescription.getPatient() << endl;
cout << "This patient belongs to " << myPrescription.getMedAidFund()
<< " and the medical aid number is "
<< myPrescription.getMedAidNr() << endl;
cout.precision(2);
cout << "The price for the medicine is R"
<< myPrescription.getPrice() << endl;
cout << "The number of repeats allowed for this prescription is "
<< myPrescription.getNumberOfRepeats() << endl;
cout << "The prescription was last issued on "

cout << "Please enter today's date in the format yyyymmdd: ";
cin >> today;
myPrescription.issuePrescription(today); //recalculate cost based on
