Asg 1: List of Points

Objectives

Assignment

1. Using the data_t C++ code example discussed at length in class, write C++ code to define a point_t class (object) that will hold x-, y-, and z-coordinates of a 3D point.
2. Create two files: point.h that holds the object interface and point.cpp that holds the object implemantation.

Details

1. Your point_t object should provide the following:
   • Overloaded constructors:
     • point_t(double x=0.0, double y=0.0, double z=0.0);
     • point_t(std::vector<double> c);
   • The big three:
     1. copy constructor (point_t(const point_t& rhs);)
     2. destructor (~point_t();), default ok (can comment this out)
     3. assignment operator (point_t operator=(const point_t& rhs);)
   • Input/output stream friend functions:
     • friend istream& operator>>(istream& s, point_t& rhs);
     • friend ostream& operator<<(ostream& s, const point_t& rhs);
   • The [ ] subscript operator.
   • A distance member function (double distance(point_t& rhs);) that computes and returns the Euclidean distance between this point and the rhs point: \( \sqrt{(x_1-x_2)^2 + (y_1-y_2)^2 + (z_1-z_2)^2} \)
   • The point_t class should store the \((x,y,z)\) coordinates in a private std::vector<double> container.

Requirements

1. Your code should be such that the following main() routine works unaltered:

   int main(int argc, char *argv[])
   {
           point_t                         point;
           std::vector<point_t>            points;
           std::vector<point_t>::iterator  pit;
   
     // read input file consisting of names and id codes adding entities to list
     while(!std::cin.eof()) {
       std::cin >> point;
       if(std::cin.good()) 
         points.push_back(point);
     }
   
     // now play it back
     std::cout << "*** printing list" << std::endl;
   
     for(int i=0; i<(int)points.size(); i++) {
       std::cout << points[i] << std::endl;
     }
   
     // try it again...
     std::cout << "*** printing list again" << std::endl;
   
     for(int i=0; i<(int)points.size(); i++) {
       std::cout << points[i] << std::endl;
     }
   
     std::cout << "*** printing point coords" << std::endl;
   
     // get at x- and y-coords of p_i
     for(int i=0; i<(int)points.size(); i++) {
       std::cout << "p_i[0] = " << points[i][0] << " ";
       std::cout << "p_i[1] = " << points[i][1] << std::endl;
       std::cout << "p_i[2] = " << points[i][2] << std::endl;
     }
   
     std::cout << "*** checking distance function" << std::endl;
   
     // check distance between two points
     std::cout << "|p_0 - p_1| = " << points[0].distance(points[1]) << std::endl;
   
     // clear list via STL clear() function (memory leak if point_t used new!!)
     std::cout << "*** deleting list" << std::endl;
     points.clear();
   
     // nope ... see if we can delete an empty list
     std::cout << "*** deleting list again" << std::endl;
     points.clear();
   
     // prove we survived
     std::cout << "*** done" << std::endl;
   }
   	

Input

1. The pointdata.txt file used to test the above program is:

   15 14 13

   104 29 23
   19 78 83
   450 321 33
   	

Output

1. Expected output with the above input file is:

Supplemental

1. Here is a Makefile that you can use to compile the project:

   .SUFFIXES: .c .o .cpp .cc .cxx .C
   
   UNAME = $(shell uname)
   PLATFORM = $(shell uname -p)
   
   CC = g++

   LIBS = -framework Foundation -lstdc++
   endif
   endif
