- c++ oop Write a program that creates a class called Number. Your class will have two data membersnamely num (float) and result (int). To find the factorial of the entered number you will need todesign three functions as follows: Function to determine if a number is a whole number or not Function to determine if the number is positive or not Function to find the actual factorial Function to display the number and its factorial (Must be constant function) All these required function should be class’s functionRemember that to find the factorial, the number must of positive and a whole number. So if anyof these conditions are not met then you cannot determine the factorial.arrow_forwardDefine a struct type that represents an exercise plan. The struct should store the following data: plan name (a character array of size 50) and goal calories to burn (an integer).

- Please answer in C++ / Text book question / C++ for scientist and Engineers 3rd edition Construct a class named Fractions containing two integer data members named num and denom, used to store the numerator and denominator of a fraction having the form num/denom. Your class should include a default constructor that initializes num and denom to 1 and four operator functions for adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing the two fractions, as follows: Addition: a/b + c/d = (a * d + b * c) / (b * d)Subtraction: a/b - c/d = (a * d - b * c) / (b * d)Multiplication: a/b * c/d = (a* c) / (b * d)Division: (a/b) / (c/d) = (a * d) / (b * c) Finally, your class should have a member function that reduces each fraction to its terms (refer to Exercise 15 in Programming Projects for Chapter 6 for how to do this) as well as input and output functions for entering and displaying a fraction. thanksarrow_forwardA member of a structure or of a class is accessed using : c++ A.

You must write the code. - Yes, you can convert from string to integer stoi ( string). - In addition to the constructors, you should supply a set of getters (Accessors) getH, getM getS - In addition to that, add mutators that allow the individual setting of Hours, Minutes and Seconds: setH(int), setM ( int ) setS( int ) Include this setter ( Mutator) setTime( int NumSeconds); - So if I call setTime( 7673) you would know that that is: -- hours, -- minutes and -- seconds seconds = 53 7673 % 60…arrow_forward
