CS 212 Lab 02: Introduction to Classes

Course Overview

• Course title: CS -- 212: Object Oriented Programming
• Offered by the College of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, NUST
• Instructors: Dr. Soyiba (Course Instructor), Engr. Ayesha Khanam (Lab Instructor)

Lab Task Introduction

• Focus on creating a class in programming as part of Lab #02
• Core objective: Understand and implement class structures and member functions

Class Structure: Employee

• Class named Employee created to hold employee-related data
• Key attributes defined as private:
  • EmployeeID: double type, uniquely identifies employees
  • EmployeeName: string type, stores the name of the employee
  • EmployeeSalary: double type, represents the employee's salary

Member Functions

• Setters: Functions responsible for inputting data into the class

  • setEmployeeID(double id): Sets the employee ID
  • setEmployeeName(string n): Sets the employee's name
  • setEmployeeSalary(double s): Sets the employee's salary

• Getters: Functions that retrieve data from the class

  • getEmployeeID(): Returns the employee ID
  • getEmployeeName(): Returns the employee's name
  • getEmployeeSalary(): Returns the employee's salary

• Display Function:

  • displayEmpDetails(): A function intended to output the employee details (incomplete code requires implementation)

Programming Elements

• The use of access modifiers (private, public) ensures encapsulation, protecting data integrity
• Utilizes standard library features (iostream and string) to handle input/output and string manipulations
