Question 5 of assignment 2 asks to rewrite the class of the previous questions as "an ADT with separate compilation".
I always define my header files separately anyway so I assume thats done.
If theyre asking me to make the class abstract, i.e. make all functions pure virtual and subclass it, I don't see the point of that at all.

So am I done? Can I just submit the same thing from q4 with its separate header, implementation and test function files?

Adults are always asking little kids what they want to be when they grow up because they are trying to get ideas.

Seperate/hide implementation from header/prototype ..but this is what you've done already .. so i guess you got it all figured out.thumbs up

An abstract data type is what they call user-defined types now. The base types are int, float, char, etc, etc, etc. When you start combining these together to represent a much larger concept, that's when it becomes an abstraction of something from the real world.

The type you usually create is a class although it could be something else.
