Polynomial Class Implementation Guide

This document describes a polynomial program assignment. The Poly class defines methods for polynomial addition, subtraction, multiplication, derivative, integral, and evaluation. The student is asked to implement methods for these operations, as well as overloading operators for subtraction and output. A display method must also be modified to output polynomials in a standard form like (2x^8 + 1x^7 + 9). Testing code is provided to demonstrate the expected output format.

Polynomial Program

// Author: Julius Dichter

#ifndef __Poly_SEEN
#define __Poly_SEEN

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Poly
{
public:
Poly() { pol = NULL; } // default constructor
Poly(const int* p, int terms); // constructor
Poly operator+(const Poly& q) const; // poly addition
Poly operator-(const Poly& q) const; // poly subtraction
Poly operator*(const Poly& q) const; // poly multiplication

Poly derivative();
bool increasing(double xVal);
double defIntegralAt(double, double);
double eval(double);

unsigned int deg() const // degree


{
return(pol[0] > 0 ? pol[0] : 0);
}
void display() const; // display host object

friend ostream & operator << (ostream & out, const Poly & p);

private:
int length() const; // length of pol
int* pol;
};
#endif
Polynomial Program

The Test program will display the following output.

NOTE that the display method should produce the exact output sgow, so you will need to modify it.

// Polynomial Test Program


#include "Poly.h"

int main(int argc, char * argv[])


{
using namespace std;
int p[] = { 7,-2,3,3,2,-17,0,9 };
int q[] = { 8,2,7,3,3,-3,2,17,0,9 };
Poly p1(p, 4);
Poly q1(q, 4);
Poly sum = p1 + q1;
[Link]();
cout << endl;
return 0;
}

------------------------------ program output -----------------

(2x^8 + 1x^7 + 9)

So you will define the following methods

Poly derivative();

bool increasing(double xVal);

double defIntegralAt(double xLow, double xHigh);

double eval();

Poly operator-(const Poly& q) const; // poly subtraction

friend ostream & operator << (ostream & out, const Poly & p);

The display method will be modified to output as shown above. The operator << listed
above should print the same output as the display method, so it will be easy after you
correct the display method to output a polynomial like this: (2x^8 + 1x^7 + 9)

void display() const; // display host object

Your program will read a few polynomials from a file, and I will supply new client
program to test your code in a few days. The operator – will be similar to the operator +
so use that method as a model for your operator –
Polynomial Program

The rest of the code for Poly in the class notes can be used in your project directly. I
will discuss the logic for all the new methods in class.
I will supply a new client program which reads a polynomials from a text file. I will
also supply the text file. You need to write al the new overloaded methods so that my
client program will run correctly.
