True or false: Objects can be passed to functions, but they cannot be returned by functions.
C++
Stars
This lab exercise will practice creating objects with constructors and destructors and demonstrate when constructors and destructors are called.
Star Class
Create a class, Star. A Star object has two member variables: its name, and a solar radius. This class should have a constructor which takes a std::string, the name of the star, and a double, the solar radius of the star.
In the constructor, the Star class should print to the terminal that the star was born. For example, if you create a Star as follows:
Star my_star("Saiph", 22.2);
Then the constructor should print:
The star Saiph was born.
In the destructor, the Star class should print to the terminal that the star was destroyed, along with the number of times the volume of the sun that that star was, formatted to two decimal places. Hint: use the following line to set the precision to 2 decimal places:
std::cout << std::fixed << std::setprecision(2);
For example, when my_star above has its destructor called,…
C++
Pet Class
You are going to organize and show information about pets in a Pet Store using a Pet class.
The Pet class
You need to make a Pet class that holds the following information as private data members:
the name of the pet (e.g. "Spot", "Fluffy", or any word a user enters)
the type of pet (e.g. dog, cat, snake, hamster, or any word a user enters)
level of hungriness of the pet (2 means hungry, 1 means content, 0 means full)
Your class also needs to have the following functions:
a default constructor that sets the pet to be a dog named Buddy, with level of hungriness being “content”
a parameterized constructor to allow having any type of pet
the order of the parameters is: name of the pet, type of pet, hungriness level
a PrintInfo function that prints the info for the pet according to the sample output below
a TimePasses function that increases the hungry level of the pet by one (unless its hungry level is already 2, meaning hungry).
a FeedPet function that changes the…

Your class will have two data membersnamely num (float) and result (int).
