i was beginning a shape class which contains point,rectangle,triangle,circle and line.the program can draw and resize.i have start a little but i don''t want tto write after this class shape { public: Draw(); Resize(); class point { public: point(int,int) then i don''t know how to continue can anyone help me

You probably want to store a color in there too?




Something like that is what I''d do I guess...

You should probably be in the Beginner''s forum with this question. Can you describe a bit more about your problem? I can see you''ve made a start, but you haven''t said exactly what it is you''re stuck with. I''m assuming that you are talking about C++. Have you thought about what you want your classes to do? Is it that you don''t know how to write a class? If so, do you have a C++ tutorial guide? You might find Thinking in C++ to be helpful.

It all depends on what you're using these shapes for (post and I'm sure people can come up with a ton of suggestions).
Some general functions might be:

int IsPointInside(int x, int y)
single Area()
void Translate(int deltaX, int deltaY)//Translate means move
void Rotate(single angle)

If its part of a game engine you might also want some things like:

int IsCollision(CShape aShape)
rect BoundingBox()

Try this...

class Shape{  public:    // Virtual Destructor ensures proper handling    // of destruction    virtual ~Shape();    // Virtual NULL Functions force sub-classes    // to implement these.    virtual void Draw( ... ) = 0;    virtual void Resize( ... ) = 0;};class Point : public Shape{  public:    // Constructor and destructor    Point();    ~Point();    // Actual implementation of functions    virtual void Draw( ... );    virtual void Resize( ... );};class Triangle : public Shape{  public:    Triangle();    ~Triangle();    // Actual implementation of functions    virtual void Draw( ... );    virtual void Resize( ... );};// Etcetera... 

Any other questions?

Thanks to Kylotan for the idea!

hi thx u guy,teaching how to write a class.by the way do u have any reference site which teach u how to build a class.becoz i have learn C languange last year,but i didn''t do good on it,especially coding part.i would like to improve it.can anyone tell me any tutorial site for me to have a look at c++ programming or evening sample of the script.

Try the "free books" link in my sig.
