Real-Life Objects

• Object-oriented programming allows us to easily model entities from real life.
• As an example, the text provides a simple Employee class:
  • All employees have names and salaries which are set at construction.

    Employee harry("Hacker, Harry", 45000.00);
    

  • Both attributes can be queried.

    cout << "Name: " << harry.get_name() << "\n";
    cout << "Salary: " << harry.get_salary() << "\n";
    

  • Only salary can be set.

    harry.set_salary(new_salary);
