Post-Mortem

I am leaving this information here, after the fact. But with hindsight, I strongly suggest that you ignore this presentation, and instead look more closely at the detailed walkthrough which we began in the subsequent lectures.

CreditCard example

Reading: Ch. 1.6

To begin, we will examine the definition of a rather basic CreditCard class. The textbook gives a complete definition of the C++ source code for defining and using such a class. It is provided in three files as follows:

CreditCard.h (header file defines class)
CreditCard.cpp (implementatio of several methods)
TestCard.cpp (example of use)

For the sake of comparison, we have translated this precise example to the equivalent Python program. It is presented in two parts:

CreditCard.py (class definition)
TestCard.py (example of use)
