What will be an ideal response?


The text explains this well so the students should understand the basic concept as simply
designing a reserve planned to manage overages or risk. This allows the project to have
mild fluctuations in cost relative to the baseline, but not require added funding as it is
built in.

Draw an inheritance hierarchy for students at a university similar to the hierarchy. Use Student as the base class of the hierarchy, then include classes UndergraduateStudent and GraduateStudent that derive from Student. Continue to extend the hierarchy as deep (i.e., as many levels) as possible. For example, Freshman, Sophomore, Junior and Senior might derive from UndergraduateStudent, and DoctoralStudent and Masters- Student might derive from GraduateStudent. After drawing the hierarchy, discuss the relationships that exist between the classes. [Note: You do not need to write any code for this exercise.]

The code fragment:

Increment::Increment( int c, int i ) : increment ( i ) { count = c; } does not cause any compilation errors. This tells you that: a. count must be a non-const variable. b. count must be a const variable. c. increment must be a non-const variable. d. increment must be a const variable.
