Issue with line class

[sturk]

Hi, I have a problem with my line class, in that I am stuck trying to get the code to work. My logic is wrong I'm sure of it. But not sure how to fix it. I need to match it with main below. Can anyone tell me where I've gone wrong and show me the correct way to fix it in my codes? Thank you.

  class Polygon : public Shape 
	{ 
	public:
		int getArea() { 
			return (width * height); 
		}
	};

	class Line : public Polygon 
	{ 
	public:
	Point() { };                           //Default Constructor
		Point(int px, int py) {                //Constructor
			x = px;
			y = py;
		}
	void draw();
		
	};
void Line::draw() {
    cout << "Line" << "drawing" << endl;
}
int main() 
{
	Line l1; 				//Output: Line construction
	std::cout << l1; 		//Output: Line (0,0) (0,0)
	l1.Draw(); 				//Output: Line drawing
	
	Line l2(Point(), 
	Point(100,100));	//Output: Line construction
	std::cout << l2; 		//Output: Line (0,0) (100,100)
	l1 = l2;
	std::cout << l1; 		//Output: Line (0,0) (100,100)

}

I would suggest you start with just 'Point' and 'Line', before adding the complications of 'Shape' and 'Polygon'.

class Point {
  // vars and methods
};

class Line {
   Point start, end;
   // more vars and methods
};

Hi Salem, as this is a school assignment, I can't modify or change what's been given to me.

And what have you been 'given', and what have you changed to get into the state you're in?

There is nothing stopping you creating a parallel file containing whatever code you like that helps you understand the problem.
