Record

Design and code a class named Record that holds information about a text record.  Upon instantiation, a Record object may receive a null-terminated C-style string.  If the object does not receive a string, the object stores a safe empty state.  Your class does not impose any limitation on the number of characters stored in a Record object.  Your design includes all of the member functions needed to accomodate this feature under a variety of applications, including the one below.

Your class includes the following member functions:

• void display(ostream&) - a query that sends the text stored in the Record object to the output stream specified in the parameter;
• Record& operator=(const char*) - a modifier that replaces the text stored in the Record object with the text specified through the parameter;

• an insertion operator that inserts a Record object into an output stream.

 #include <iostream>
 #include "Record.h"
 using namespace std;

 int main() {
    Record rec1("inheritance"), rec2 = rec1;

    cout << rec1 << endl;
    cout << rec2 << endl;
    rec1 = "overloading";
    cout << rec1 << endl;
    rec2 = rec1;
    cout << rec2 << endl;

    return 0;
 }

Indexed Record

Design and code a class named IRecord that holds information about a text record that is part of an index.  Derive your class from the Record.  Upon instantiation, a IRecord object may receive a triple consisting of

• a null-terminated C-style string,
• an array of integer values holding page numbers and
• an integer holding the number of elements in the array. 

Your class also includes the following functions:

• void display(ostream&) - a query that sends the text stored in the IRecord object to the output stream specified in the parameter followed by the space and comma delimited page numbers in the format shown below;
• void operator+=(int) - a modifier that inserts the value received into the list of page numbers stored by the object.

 #include <iostream>
 #include "IRecord.h"
 using namespace std;

 int main() {
    int p[] = {23, 45, 67}, n = 3;
    IRecord rec1("inheritance"), rec2("overloading", p, n);

    rec1 += 78;
    cout << rec1 << endl;
    rec1 += 121;
    cout << rec1 << endl;
    rec2 += 89;
    rec1 = rec2;
    cout << rec1 << endl;

    return 0;
 }
