Cpp program to create objects of distance class and add them

In this article we will learn to implement a Cpp program to create objects of distance class and add them. A C++ program is provided below that adds objects of distance class.

We create a distance class with the following:

• feet and inches as data members
• member function to input distance
• member function to output distance
• member function to add two distance objects

We create two objects of distance class and add them. Program is as follows:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Distance
{
	private:
		int feet;
		int inches;
	public:
		void set_distance()
		{
			cout<<"Enter feet: ";
			cin>>feet;
			cout<<"Enter inches: ";
			cin>>inches;
		}
		void get_distance()
		{
			cout<<"Distance is feet= "<<feet<<", inches= "<<inches<<endl;
		}
		void add(Distance d1, Distance d2)
		{
			feet = d1.feet + d2.feet;
			inches = d1.inches + d2.inches;
			feet = feet + (inches / 12);
			inches = inches % 12;
		}
};
int main()
{
	Distance d1, d2, d3;
	d1.set_distance();
	d2.set_distance();
	d3.add(d1, d2);
	d3.get_distance();
	return 0;
}

Input and output for the above program are as follows:

Enter feet: 3
Enter inches: 8
Enter feet: 4
Enter inches: 9
Distance is feet= 8, inches= 5
