Program that calculates area of triangle and rectangle using inheritance

Posted By: Easy Tutor     Category: C++ Programming     Views: 46070

Write a generalized program that takes measurement of different shapes example

1) Triangle
2) Rectangle

and displays it's area using inheritance.

Code for Program that calculates area of triangle and rectangle using inheritance in C++ Programming




#include <iostream.h>
#include <conio.h>

class shape
{
 protected:
       double x,y;
  public:
       virtualvoid get_data()=0;
       virtualvoid display_area()=0;
};

class triangle : public shape
{
   public:
    void get_data(void)
    {
       cout<<"\n\n=====Data Entry for Triangle=====\n\n";
       cout<<"Enter base and height respectively : ";
       cin>>x>>y;
    }
    void display_area(void)
    {
       cout<<"\n\n=====Area of Triangle=====\n\n";
       double aot;
       aot = 0.5 * x * y;
       cout<<"Area of Triangle is "<<aot;
    }
};

class rectangle : public shape
{
   public:
    void get_data(void)
    {
       cout<<"\n\n=====Data Entry for Rectangle=====\n\n";
       cout<<"Enter length of two sides  : ";
       cin>>x>>y;
    }
    void display_area(void)
    {
       cout<<"\n\n=====Area of rectangle=====\n\n";
       double aor;
       aor = x * y;
       cout<<"Area of Rectangle is "<<aor;
    }
};


void main()
{
clrscr();
triangle tri;
rectangle rect;
shape *list[2];
list[0]=&tri;
list[1]=&rect;

int choice;
while(1)
{
clrscr();
  cout<<"\n=====MEASURES OF DIFFERENT SHAPE=====\n";
  cout<<"\nChoose your choice\n";
  cout<<"1) Area of Triangle\n";
  cout<<"2) Area of Rectangle\n";
  cout<<"3) Exit\n";
  cout<<"Enter your choice:-";
  cin>>choice;
  switch(choice)
  {
     case 1 : list[0]->get_data();
          list[0]->display_area();
          getch();
          break;
     case 2 : list[1]->get_data();
          list[1]->display_area();
          getch();
          break;
     case 3 : goto end;
     default: cout<<"\n\nInvalid choice\nTry again\n";
          getch();
  }
}
end:
}
