type class question 2

If I have the following code which is a gas feed program:

Code:

---

class throttle
{
public:
      void shut_off();
      double flow();
private:
      int position;
};

---

How would I declare an instant or throttle called test? Would it be throttle.test?
Also I would want to activate the member function that shtus off test's flow, and then print out the current flow from test.

would it be?:

Code:

---

throttle.test
void shut_off(test)
cout<< flow(test)    //<---no idea about print out???

---

Your help would really be appreciated

No offense, but the questions you posted suggest an incomplete understanding of functions, and concepts of a similar level. Before continuing with the object oriented features of C++, I would suggest that you take some more time to get more comfortable with defining and using your own functions.
