Getting started

Start with your base.cpp program from Monday class.

base.cpp program is here: /home/fac/gordon/public_html/2010/base.cpp

Copy it to 2010/f/vehicles.cpp

Vehicle base class and derived classes

You will have a startup menu that looks like the following.


Lab-15 Vehicles Menu
--------------------
1. Display vehicle-1 
2. Display vehicle-2 
3. Diisplay vehicle-3 
4. Display all vehicles 
0. Quit program



Note:
Replace vehicle-1, 2, etc. with the names of your vehicles.


Demonstrate the class when menu items are chosen.

format of output:

Vehicle-1 statistics:
Number of passengers: nnn
License number: ABC123
See image.

Vehicle-2 statistics:
Number of passengers: nnn
Marine ID: MAR-12334-01-A1
See image.

        //the child

        char *arg[] = {(char *)"/usr/bin/display",

                        NULL};
        execve(arg[0], arg, myenvp);
    }
    cout << "Enter a number: ";
    int num;
    cin >> num;
    kill(child, SIGKILL);
    return 0;
