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:
cpp
Copy code
#include <QString>
#include <QDate>
enum class AppointmentType {
Permanent,
PartTime,
Contract
};
class Staff {
private:
QString name;
QDate birthdate;
AppointmentType appointmentType;
public:
Staff() = default;
Staff(const QString& name, const QDate& birthdate, AppointmentType type)
: name(name), birthdate(birthdate), appointmentType(type) {}
QString getName() const { return name; }
void setName(const QString& name) { this->name = name; }
QDate getBirthdate() const { return birthdate; }
void setBirthdate(const QDate& birthdate) { this->birthdate = birthdate; }
QString getAppointmentType() const {
