Question

here is the assignment:

Create a class called DateProfile that has the following private instance members:

gender - a char, the gender of the applicant ('M' or 'F').
search_gender - a char, the gender of desired partner ('M' or 'F'). This is not the gender of the applicant, but of the applicant's requested partner.
romance - an int from 1 to 10, indicating the importance of romance to the applicant.
finance - an int from 1 to 10, indicating the importance of finance to the applicant.
name - a string indicating the full name of the applicant.
Each object in the DateProfile class represents an applicant's profile. If the object is ('M', 'F', 7, 4, "Hugh Hefner") then the applicant's name is "Hugh Hefner", he's looking for a date who is Female, with romance being somewhat important (7) and finance being less important (4).

You should supply all of the following member functions of class DateProfile (at a minimum):

Accessors and Mutators for each field (instance member). For example: char GetGender() and bool SetGender(char gdr).
Constructors that take no parameters (default) and all 5 parameters.
double FitValue(DateProfile partner), which returns a number from 0.0 (very bad fit) to 1.0 (perfect fit). The public instance method compares the calling object (this) to the object passed as a parameter. This method should call three private methods DetermineGenderFit( ... ), DetermineRomanceFit( ... ) and DetermineFinanceFit( ... ), that will be used to return intermediate results for each of the three factors. It should multiply the three intermediate numbers together to get and return the final FitValue.
double DetermineGenderFit(DateProfile partner) returns either a 0 or 1 depending on the gender compatibility of the calling object and the passed parameter object. You have to compare gender compatibility completely: i.e., there must be mutual consent on this one!
double DetermineRomanceFit(DateProfile partner) returns a number from 0.0 to 1.0 depending on the romance compatibility of the calling object and the passed parameter object. The romance numbers should be highest (1.0) if the two values are equal (both 3, both 5, both 7) and lowest (perhaps a small non-zero value like .1) if their difference is 9.
double DetermineFinanceFit(DateProfile partner) returns a number from 0.0 to 1.0 depending on the finance compatibility of the calling object and the passed parameter object. The finance numbers should be highest (1.0) if the two values are equal (both 3, both 5, both 7) and lowest (perhaps a small non-zero value like .1) if their difference is 9.
Except for possibly accessors which have single statements, all methods must be defined after the class prototype and not in-line within the class prototype. See modules for examples of this.

From your sample main() that tests your class, you should instantiate a total of 4 DateProfile objects, applicant1, ... applicant4 manually from literal values in your program, i.e., do not involve the user with run-time input. Then for each of the four applicants, display the fits with the others - including themselves. Do this by showing the name of the applicant, then the names and fit values of all applicants relative to this one applicant. Repeat this list for all four applicants producing 16 comparison figures grouped into four groups of four each. (You will be comparing each applicant to his/herself in each of these four groups. This will serve to check whether the result is correct - it must be either a 1 or a 0 depending on the search_gender they requested, but never a number between (can you see why?)). Here is part of a sample output:

Hugh Hefner
Carmen Miranda fit: 0.82314
Brad Pitt fit 0.0
Mary Lynn Rajskub fit 0.6302
Hugh Hefner fit 0.0
Carmen Miranda
Carmen Miranda fit: 0.0
Brad Pitt fit .72029
Mary Lynn Rajskub fit 0.0
Hugh Hefner fit 0.82314, ... etc.
Make sure all mutators, constructors and other methods that affect private data adequately test for illegal values and, if possible, return a boolean that reports the results of this test..

Explanation / Answer

I didn't do any of the data checking (you can do that, its pretty simple, just kinda time consuming :P) But everything else works great. It's all in just one file right now, so you can split it up into a .cpp and .h if you want to. Hope it helps! #include #include #include using namespace std; class DateProfile { private: char gender; char search_gender; int romance; int finance; string name; public: //default ctor DateProfile() : gender('M'), search_gender('F'), romance(5), finance(5), name("John Doe") {} //5 param-ctor DateProfile(char g, char s, int r, int f, string n) : gender(g), search_gender(s), romance(r), finance(f), name(n) {} //Getter functions char getGender() { return gender; } char getSearchGender() { return search_gender; } int getRomance() { return romance; } int getFinance() { return finance; } string getName() { return name; } //Setter functions void setGender(char g) { gender = g; } void setSearchGender(char s) { search_gender = s; } void setRomance(int r) { romance = r; } void setFinance(int f) { finance = f; } void setName(string n) { name = n; } double FitValue(DateProfile partner) { return DetermineGenderFit(partner) * DetermineRomanceFit(partner) * DetermineFinanceFit(partner); } double DetermineGenderFit(DateProfile partner) { if(gender == partner.getSearchGender() && search_gender == partner.getGender()) return 1.0; else return 0.0; } double DetermineRomanceFit(DateProfile partner) { double difference = (romance - partner.getRomance()); if(difference < 0) { difference *= -1; } //Swap the sign if negative return (10-difference)*0.1; } double DetermineFinanceFit(DateProfile partner) { double difference = (finance - partner.getFinance()); if(difference < 0) { difference *= -1; } //Swap the sign if negative return (10-difference)*0.1; } }; int main() { //Initiate 4 objects DateProfile J('M', 'F', 10, 3, "Jacob Murmur"); DateProfile R('M', 'F', 3, 9, "Richy Rich"); DateProfile A('F', 'M', 8, 6, "Ashley Blop"); DateProfile G('F', 'M', 2, 9, "Gina Golddigger"); //Display them all cout
