Good Morning All,
I am writing an app to calculate the cost of a hotel room. I am new to c++.
I have decided to try using the Strategy Design Pattern. I want a superclass
HotelRoom, and then make 3 classes that inherit from it. SuiteRoom,
StandardRoom, and DeluxeRoom. The price of the room is based on 3 factors,
if there is are more then 2 people in the room, there is a $10 charge per
persons over 2, if they add an extra bed, and the room type. I was thinking
of making a RoomType interface with a price() method, then making 3 classes
that implement the interface, SuitePrice, StandardPrice, and DeluxePrice. I
do not know how to code interfaces in c++. Does anyone have any samples to
get me going? Ultimately this will be a console app. I want to ask the user
how many rooms they would like and for how many days? Then make an array of
HotelRooms with the number of elements (rooms) the user indicated. I would
then loop through and ask how many people in each room, and if they wanted
an extra bed in the room. The ultimate goal would be to display the total
price for all rooms to the user. Any advice?
TIA,

Like,
int main() {
return 0;
}
? Or, maybe
#include <iostream>
int main() {
std::cout << "Hello World\n";
}
?

I think it's mostly covered in FAQ 5.2. Read it and see if it helps.
If it doesn't, come back and ask more specific questions.

This sounds suspiciously like a homework question (and not a very good
one at that.) If the only difference between the rooms is the price,
then create an array.

int price( int numRooms, int numDays, int numPeople, bool extraBed )
{
// implement here
}
int main() {
assert( 10 == price( 0, 0, 0, true ) );
// add more asserts for different inputs
}
Thanks man. That was very helpful!

Just like you'd code them in any language, really. In C++, use
an abstract class. (And don't forget to give it a virtual
destructor.)
Does anyone have any samples to get me going?
class SomeInterface
{
public:
virtual ~SomeInterface( ) {}
virtual double getSomething() const = 0 ;
virtual void doSomething() = 0 ;
// ...
} ;
In C++, we speak of a function being "pure virtual", instead of
abstract, and declare it as such by appending a "= 0" after the
function declaration.
Ultimately this will be a console app. I want to ask the user
how many rooms they would like and for how many days? Then make an array of
HotelRooms with the number of elements (rooms) the user indicated. I would

Get a good introductory text on C++, and a good introductory
text on OO design and programming. From what I've heard,
"Thinking in C++", by Bruce Eckel
( http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/...gInCPP2e.html), is a
good introduction to both. (I can only go by what I've heard
here. It's been a long time since I read any introductory
texts.)

Yes. I took a quick glance at it after I had posted. My (very
superficial) impression is that it was just as good as I'd
heard, but as you say, it presumes that you are already a
programmer of some sort.

I've heard both good and bad about both it and "Accelerate d C++"
(by Koenig). I suspect that for beginners text, different
people need different approaches, and that both are very good
books, for some people, and not so good for others. As far as I
know, both concentrate purely on the C++ part, however, ignoring
any of the programming aspects.
FWIW: many years back, there was a book by Robert Martin that
was one of the best I've seen. Somebody seems to have walked
off with my copy, so I can't give a more detailed reference.
But at any rate, it is extremely out of date, not mentionning
any of the standard containers (which didn't exist when the book
appeared), and using the old Booch cloud diagrams rather than
UML.

I think there are 2 options for how to implement the Strategy pattern.
One is to use polymorphism; derived classes have the same interface
and can be plugged in. The other is to use templates: Instantiate the
class, passing in a functor (algorithm). Code samples below.
The problem with the first way is that the interface must be the same
(parameters passed in) for all strategies. The problem with the
second way is that there is no...
