POINT



image_link: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/karlinarayberinger/KARLINA_OBJECT_summer_2023_starter_pack/main/points_on_cartesian_grid.png


The C++ program featured in this tutorial web page demonstrates the concept of Object Oriented Programming (OOP). The program implements a user defined data type for instantiating POINT type objects. Each POINT type object represents a two-dimensional point plotted on a Cartesian grid such that the X value of a POINT object represents a whole number position along the horizontal axis of the Cartesian grid while the Y value of a POINT object represents a whole number position along the vertical axis of the Cartesian grid. A POINT object can execute various functions including the ability to compute the distance between itself and some input POINT object and the ability to compute the slope of the line which intersects itself and some input POINT object.

PROGRAM_COMPILATION_AND_EXECUTION


STEP_0: Copy and paste the C++ code from the files named point.h, point.cpp, and point_class_tester.cpp into their own new text editor documents and save those documents using their corresponding file names:

point.h
point.cpp
point_class_tester.cpp

STEP_1: Open a Unix command line terminal application and set the current directory to wherever the C++ program files are collectively located on the local machine (e.g. Desktop).

cd Desktop

STEP_2: Compile the C++ files into machine-executable instructions (i.e. object file) and then into an executable piece of software named app using the following command:

g++ point_class_tester.cpp point.cpp -o app

STEP_3: If the program compilation command does not work, then use the following commands (in top-down order) to install the C/C++ compiler (which is part of the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)):

sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt-get install g++

STEP_4: After running the g++ command, run the executable file using the following command:

./app

STEP_5: Observe program results on the command line terminal and in the output file.


POINT_CLASS_HEADER


The following header file contains the preprocessing directives and function prototypes of the POINT class.

(Note that the text inside of each of the the preformatted text boxes below appears on this web page (while rendered correctly by the web browser) to be identical to the content of that preformatted text box text’s respective C++ source code file whose Uniform Resource Locator is displayed in the green hyperlink immediately above that preformatted text box. A computer interprets that C++ source code as a series of programmatic instructions (i.e. software) which govern how the hardware of that computer behaves).

(Note that angle brackets which resemble HTML tags (i.e. an “is less than” symbol (i.e. ‘<‘) followed by an “is greater than” symbol (i.e. ‘>’)) displayed on this web page have been replaced (at the source code level of this web page) with the Unicode symbols U+003C (which is rendered by the web browser as ‘<‘) and U+003E (which is rendered by the web browser as ‘>’). That is because the WordPress web page editor or web browser interprets a plain-text version of an “is less than” symbol followed by an “is greater than” symbol as being an opening HTML tag (which means that the WordPress web page editor or web browser deletes or fails to display those (plain-text) inequality symbols and the content between those (plain-text) inequality symbols)).
