CO311: Introduction to Modern Programming II

Lab Practical #10: April 10, 2000

Please read the entire problem before jumping into the code!

Using the in-class examples and practice test as a guide, create a class called Compass with the following characteristics:

• Separate, private data members for degrees, minutes and seconds. Degrees should be a positive number that can range from 0 to 359; minutes and seconds both range from 0-59.
• A constructor that can take optional arguments for setting the date, but will default to 0°0'0" if arguments are not given.
• A function to print the date to the console in d°m's" format.
• Functions to add an arbitrary number of degrees/minutes/seconds to each data member, still keeping them within bounds. The functions don’t have to handle negative numbers or decimals.

Write a driver program to test all the permutations of your class, as you did in the practice test. Your class definition, implementation and driver program should all be in appropriately named, separate files. Submit your copies to the FTP site in a separate folder/directory named P10.

Submissions to the FTP site that are NOT saved in the separate P10 directory will be automatically docked 10 points for failing to follow instructions.
