Chapter 14, Problem 2PC
Day of the Year
Assuming a year has 365 days, write a class named DayOfYear that takes an integer representing a day of the year and translates it to a string consisting of the month followed by day of the month. For example,
Day 2 would be January 2.
Day 32 would be February 1. Day 365 would be December 31.
The constructor for the class should take as parameter an integer representing the day of the year, and the class should have a member function print () that prints the day in the month-day format. The class should have an integer member variable to represent the day, and should have static member variables holding string objects that can be used to assist in the translation from the integer format to the month-day format. Test your class by inputting various integers representing days and printing out their representation in the month-day format.

Write a Rectangle class that has the following fields:
Length (L): a double
- Width (W): a double
The class should have the following functions:
Constructor: accepts the length (L) and the width (W) of a rectangle as arguments.
Constructor: does not take any parameters and initializes the length(L) and width(W)
to zero.
- A function called getArea which returns the area of the rectangle.
A function called getPerimeter which returns the perimeter of the rectangle.
{note: The area of a rectangle =L*W, and its perimeter = 2*(L+W) }
Then, write a program to ask the user to enter the length and width of a rectangle, and then
use the above class to calculate and print the area and perimeter of the rectangle.
Problem Class
In this exercise, you are going to create the Problem class. The Problem class is used to help simulate a math fact, for example:
2 + 5 =
Your class needs to contain two contructors, one that takes String, int, int that represts the operator sign(+, -, *, or /), the minimum, and maximum values for the number range, and a second constructor that takes only a String that represents the operator sign. For the second constructor, the minimum should default to zero and the maximum to ten.
Your Problem object should generate 2 random integers between the minimum and maximum values (inclusively). Each Problem object should only have one set of numbers that do not change.
While you may include additional helper methods, two methods need to be available to the user. The first is the answer method that should return a double that represents the answer to the problem.
The second is the toString that should return a String that represents the problem. The format should be:
number…
a. Instance of a class is called,
functions have same name but different sets of parameters.
