Printing from Derived classes ******

sesslit805 (39)
Good afternoon coders!

We recently starting learning about derivied classes and I am having trouble with the objects and printing out information from other classes.

*********
This is the instruction we have to do and I am having problems with the print() and findSalary() functions:

1)in the main program:
a. Create an object of Adjunct professor
b. Set the name to “Adam Smith”, facultyId to12345, email to “asmith@csusm.edu”, degree to “Master degree”. Adam Smith is teaching 1 course and is doing teaching assistant (TA) for two courses.
c. Call the findSalary() method to find the salary of Adam Smith
d. Print Adam Smith’s information (properties) on the screen
**********
This is the Salaries calculation:
The salary of an adjunct professor is calculated as follows:
Salary = The amount of money earned from doing TA + The amount of money earned from teaching courses

|Degree| |Salary for one TA | |Salary for teaching one course|
Bachelor $1500 $3000
Master $2000 $4000
PhD $2500 $5000


For example, if an adjunct professor has a master degree and doing 2 TA and teaching 3 courses, he/she earns (2*$2000)+(3*$4000) = $16000




All of my codes compile but I just don't know where to go from here. I know this might be easy to a lot of you advanced coders but I am still learning and although I enjoy coding and find it fun, I get really frustrated at times. Thank you!

Here is my code:

I don't know how to call salary function or print function. Do I do it in the .h files or in the main?

you'd do that in main() but from the nature of your question it seems you could do with a good read about classes and inheritance first. In that case I'd recommend “C++ Primer Plus (5th ed)” by Stephen Prata
