Need Help regarding C++ Prog

How to write a program that will declare a class point. The class point has two private data members x and y of type float. The class point has a parameterized constructor to initialize both the data members i.e. x and y. The class point has a member function display() that display the value of x and y. Create two objects p1 and p2 with your desired data and display the values of x and y of p1 and p2. Now create a third object p3 by using the expression p3=p1+p2 and display the values of x and y of p3.
Sample Output
Point 1 is
x=2.5
y=3.8
Point 2 is
x=5.9
y=6.8
Point 3 is
x=8.4
y=10.6

You will start by declaring the class point, adding 2 float data members who are private. The make a constructor that will initialize the afformentioned data members. Then create a function that is a member of class point called display and have it display the values of the data members mentioned above. Create 2 objects, I guess we could call them p1 and p2, and display the values of them. Then create another object, we can call it p3 and use p3=p1+p2. Then display the values of p3...

Welcome to the forums, mrsharique.

If you have a question, or if you don't know how to get started, we can help you. But, don't expect anyone here to write the whole progrm for you or to do your homework for you. Try to ask a specific question. Don't just repeat the assignment.

If it looks like homework, you are more likely to get hints than a direct answer. Besides, programers are curious types who like to solve puzzles... It takes away all the fun if someone does the work for you!

Write some code... show what you have so far, and tell us where you are "stuck". We can help you to move forward to the next step. If you get stuck again, ask another question.

Well, once you've gotten your class set up, and working fine, you'll have to overload some operators (the + one and the + one I think), to accomplish this:

p3=p1+p2;

There has been a lot of that of the forums recently, operator overloading I mean. Search the forums for examples of overloading operators when the class is set up.

Yeah, this does seem very homework-y. So no code from twomers. Learning through blood and toil teaches well, in my opinion. Chuck 'em in the deep end and whatnot.

The only problem you're having is in the damn language that your programming homework booklet uses. Stuff like "class point" and "parameterized constructor (OH NOES!) is scaring you off, when it's simple as dirt.

Lemme rewrite the specification for you, even though that's been done once already, it wasn't associated with this problem:

I thought I'd post the comp.lang.c++ thread I bet the OP started.

Mmm, perhaps I should adopt Frederick's approach.

I can do that without an effort.

What? Write buggy code Only joking. I like his approach though.

(Edit: I should really stop insulting people. Sorry.)

Well that was my point exactly. Writing buggy code
