C++ Implementing student registration program

[sicarie]

The experts on this site are more than happy to help you with your problems but they cannot do your assignment/program for you. Attempt the assignment/program yourself first and post questions regarding any difficulties you have or about a particular function of the code that you don't know how to achieve.

Please read the Posting Guidelines and particularly the Coursework Posting Guidelines.

Then when you are ready post a new question in this thread.

iam so sorry
okey , i tray to corect my mistake

Student(string studentName)
{
studentName=nam e;
}

is this true now ?

[Warly girl]

plz i want to ask :

bool canRegisterMore ();

^
why they put this method in private "with variables"
not with other method in the public ?

Your assignment is backwards. it should be name = studentName - the thing on the left receives the value. Also, you still have not declared the type. it should be
[code=cpp]
Student::Studen t()
{
string name = "";
}
void setName(string studentName)
{
name = studentName;
}
string getName()
{
return name;
}
[/code]

[code=cpp]
Student::Studen t()
{
name = "";
}
void setName(string studentName)
{
name = studentName;
}
string getName()
{
return name;
}
[/code]

Should have done this in the same post, but I'm working on 3 things at once here.

So, first of all, this is a constructor (not a class), so you need to specify a return type. Student::Studen t() will specify the default constructor (which needs nothing to be passed to it) to allow you to create Student objects. From there, it creates a string variable called name (should be private, but that's a class issue, not a constructor issue). Actually, now that I think about it, you probably don't have to declare it there, so you were right before.

Anyway, then you have your get and set methods outside of the constructor that will allow you to modify the private variable name.

thaanks alot
this is a deafult consractor , so how if i want to pass value in constructor ?

The way you had it, only with the assignment swiched to name=studentNam e;

[Warly girl]

okey
now in this method
bool canRegisterMore ()

i wrote

{
if (currentCourses >4)
return false;
}

is this a correct syntax of bollean method ?

[Ganon11]

Yes, but what if the student has less than 4 classes? Where do you return true?

[Warly girl]

Fine , so i will write

bool canRegisterMore ()
{
if (currentCourses >4)
return false;
else
return true;
}

is this correct ?
but i want to aske about something
why they put this method as a praivte ? not in public with other methods
and when i will write the cpp file
i must write it implementation or not ?

You want the variable currentCourses to be private. However, you don't want the method canRegisterMore () to be private, because that is what you have decided will set the variable, you want that to be public.

[Warly girl]

okey
now I finish the implementation of the header class and i want you to see it and give me your opinion and tell me about my mistake plz..

#include”student.h”
Student::Student(string studentName)
{
Name=studentName;
}

bool Student::canRegisterMore()
{
if (currentCourses>=4)
return false;
else
return true;
}


	
bool Student::registerCourse()
{
if(canRegisterMore()==true)
{
currentCourses++;
return true;
}
	else
return false;
}

void Student::dropCourse()
{
if(currentCourses!=0)
currentCourses--;

}

[Warly girl]

then i stop ! i do not know what shall i do in next step
and what must i write in this method : print()
i think to write cout of : student name . id and number of coursses
but how can i get it !
