OOCpp Lab 3


This week we are learning about inheritance.

Question 1
Create a new class called Circle. Add an attribute called radius for circle. Add a constructor that accepts a radius as a parameter. Add a method called getArea().

Create another class called Cylinder that inherits from Circle class. Cylinder class has an additional attribute called length. Add a constructor that accepts radius and a length. Add a method called getArea()

Create a main method to create two instances of the Circle and two instances of cylinder and add all four objects into a circle array. Using a for loop print area of each object to console screen.


Question 2
Create a new class called Clock with the integer attributes hour, minute and second. Create a constructor that allows all instance variable to be initialized. Add a method called displayTime().

Create a subclass called AlarmClock. AlarmClock should have additional object attribute called alarmHour and alarmMinute. Add a constructor that accepts radius and length. Add a method called displayAlarmTime().

 Create a main method to create two instance of the Clock- GrandPaClock and WallClock.
Add two instances of AlarmClock - WristWatch and DeskClock. Add all objects into an array and print the time on all clocks.

Important: Please ensure that you add adequate comments to explain your code.

CUMIPMT and CUMPRINC function

CUMIPMT Cumulative interest payment function allows you to calculate the interest paid for a loan or from an investment from period A to period B. When getting a loan, CUMIPMT function can be used to calculate the total amount of interest paid in the first five months or from period 12 to period 20. A period can be a month, a week or two week. Loan Amount : 350,000.00 APR: 4.5% Down payment: 0.00 Years: 25 Payment per year: 12 From the above data, we can calculate the following: No of Period: 25 × 12 = 300 Periodic Rate: 4.5/12 = 0.375% Here is how you will substitute these values into the function. = CUMIPMT (periodic rate, No of period, vehicle price, start period, end period,  ) = CUMIPMT (0.375, 300, 350000, 1, 5, 0) In an excel worksheet, we use cell address instead of actual values as shown below: Here is the formula view of the worksheet: CUMPRINC Another related function is CUMPRINC. CUMPRINC function is used to calculate cumul

Excel PMT Function

PMT function is very useful for calculating monthly payment required to payback a loan or mortgage at a fixed rate. This function require a minimum of three inputs, periodic rate, number of periods, present value or the loan amount. Here is a simple example. Home Loan: 350,000.00 Interest rate: 4.5% Number of years to repay the loan: 25 Note: To calculate monthly payment, we need to find the monthly rate and number of months as shown above. Then it is simply a matter of substituting the values into the payment function, as shown in the formula view below.

BCG's Brand Advocacy Index

The Boston Consulting Group's (BCG) Brand Advocacy Index (BAI) is a metric developed to help companies measure the degree of customer advocacy for their brands. BAI focuses on the likelihood of customers to recommend a brand to others, which is a powerful indicator of brand strength and customer loyalty. Unlike other customer satisfaction or loyalty metrics, BAI emphasizes the importance of customer referrals and word-of-mouth marketing. BAI is calculated based on a survey where customers are asked about their willingness to recommend a brand to their friends, family, or colleagues. The responses are then used to compute a score, which ranges from -100 to 100. A higher BAI score indicates that a brand has more advocates who are likely to recommend the brand to others, while a lower score suggests that the brand has fewer advocates or even a higher number of detractors. BCG's research has shown that companies with higher BAI scores tend to experience higher growth rates and bett
