Answer to Question #49678 in C++ for Mohammad

Question

Three salesmen work for a pharmaceutical company. Each salesman has an ID, salary and phone number as shown in the table below.

ID salary phone number
11 $100 2388888
12 $150 2377777
13 $250 2355555

Declare the arrays necessary to enter the information of 20 salesmen, and initialize them with the information of the three salesmen above. (i.e. the first three cells of each array are initialized as shown in the table above).

Then, the program should display the following list of tasks:
1. Add a salesman
2. Delete a salesman
3. Search for a salesman by his ID
4. Exit

The user chooses a task by entering the task number (1, 2, 3 or 4).

Write the 3 functions necessary to perform the previous tasks (add, delete and search), then call these functions to perform the tasks chosen by the user.

The program should keep on displaying the previous list of tasks and performing the chosen task until the user enters 4. (Hint: the main loop is ended when 4 is entered).

If the numbe

Answer 1



it's better to keep all salesman info in structrather class, because it only keeps information
and doesn't invoke some operations - no any methods. Iwrite all code below, so if you want you'll may distribute all code parts on
several files.
Here the code:

/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
struct salesman
{
int id;
double salary;
string telephone; //or you can use char*type
};
//Our salesman collection
class Salesmen
{
private:
const int LIST_SIZE = 20;
salesman* array[LIST_SIZE];
int top;
public:
//Constructor. Here three salesmen areinitialized
Salesmen()
{
top = 0;
addSalesman(11, 100,"2388888");
addSalesman(12, 150,"2377777");
addSalesman(13, 250,"2355555");
}
//Destructor
~Salesmen()
{
while (top != 0) //asour array keep pointers to objects, we must clear all memory
{
delete();
}
}

void addSalesman(salesman man)
{
if (top == LIST_SIZE)
{
cout << "List is full\n";
return;
}
array[top] = &man;
top++;
}
void addSalesman(int id, double salary,string telephone)
{
salesman man;
man.id= id;
man.salary = salary;
man.telephone =telephone;
addSalesman(man);
}
//deletes last added
void delete()
{
if (top == 0)
{
cout << "List is empty\n";
return;
}
top--;
delete array[top];
}
salesman* search(int id)
{
for (int index = 0;;index < top; index++)
{
if(array[index]->id == id)
{
return array[index];
}
}
return NULL; //if nosalesmen are founded; we use pointers there to be able to return NULL
}
void show()
{
cout << "IDSalary Telephone number\n";
for (int i = 0; i <top; i++)
{
cout << array[i]->id << " " <<
array[i]->salary << " " << array[i]->telephone
