Question 1
Write an application that can be used to process Staff member details. The
fields that should be stored include:
• A name,
• A birthdate, and
• A staff appointment type (one of permanent, part-time, or contract, stored as
an enum). Note that the getter and setter for this data member may be done
using a QString. Downloaded by Corona Virus () lOMoARcPSD| The
application should allow a user to enter details via GUI. Also, once a staff
member’s details are entered, they should be written to file (in any acceptable
format) and stored in a container in the application. Ensure that you adhere
to basic design principles, and avoid any anti-patterns in the design of your
solution.
To create an application that processes staff member details, you can use a combination of C++
and Qt for the GUI. This example will include classes to handle the staff details, enums for
appointment types, and methods for saving to a file and storing the data in a container. Here is a
high-level overview and code for this application:
1. Setting Up the Environment
Ensure you have Qt installed on your system. You can download it from the Qt website.
2. Defining the Staff Class
First, define a class to hold the staff member details:
