Question

Implement a helicopter simulator: 1) create a class helicopter containing the public method API; API calls the private methods: weather_input, fly_helicopter; (2 points) 2) The local pointer variable *myHelicopter defined as “struct flying_data” declared in the method API; myHelicopter requires struct dynamic allocation to match what user informs about how many helicopters are flying: 2 or 3; This struct contains: pilot_name, rockets, visibility; declare rockets as a type of variable “vector” of integer containing 4 rockets, 1 is loaded or 0 is empty/discharged. (3 points) 3) Method weather_input: read from a file what is the current visibility – if below 60% abort for safety reasons; also ask how many bars of fuel the helicopter has: 10 bars meaning 100%, 5 bars is 50% and so on; if fuel has only 10% of fuel it is not safe to fly.(2 points) 4) Use pointers to pass myHelicopter among the functions that are called from API. From fly_helicopter: print into a file on every loop iteration the fuel level; the name of the file for the output should be the pilot name; every loop decreases 3% from current tank level; (3 points)

Explanation / Answer

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
struct flying_data
{
   string pilot_name;
   /*declare rockets as a type of variable “vector” of integer containing 4 rockets,
   1 is loaded or 0 is empty/discharged.*/
   vector<int>rockets(4,0);
   int visibility;
};

class helicopter
{
   public:
        flying_data *myHelicopter ;
        helicopter(int num)
        {
            myHelicopter= malloc(num*sizeof(flying_data));
       }
  
       void weather_input(int num)
       {
           ifstream infile("fly_data.txt");
           if(!infile)
           {
               cout<<"cannot open the Input file ";
           }
           else
           {
               for(int i=0;i<num;i++)
               {
                   infile>>myHelicopter.visibility;
                   if(myHelicopter.visibility<60)
                   {
                       cout<<endl<<"Helicopter "+(i+1) <<" is aborted";
                   }
                   int fuel;
                   cout<<endl<<"how many bars of fuel?";
                   cin>>fuel;
                   if(fuel==1)
                   cout<<endl<<"Helicopter "+(i+1) <<"not safe to fly";
               }
           }
       }
       void fly_helicopter();
};
int main()
{
   cout<<endl<<"How many helicopters? ";
   int num;
   cin>>num;
   helicopter H(num);
   H.weather_input(num);
   H.fly_helicopter();
   return 0;
}
