I thought I would share this with fellow C++ programmers out there. The following is the code I send to my colleagues to invite them for a drink when I get to the end of my contract.

#define VC_EXTRALEAN

#include <afxwin.h>

CNotThirsty Goodbye::Execute()
{
   CColleague oMe  = "FDeveloper",
              oYou = "Colleagues";

   CString sWhat = "Farewell drink",
           sWhy  = "End of my contract";

   CObject oWhatever; 

  CNotThirsty oNotThirsty = null;

   /* Define event Date/Time: 30/06/06 17:30:00 */
   CTime dtNow( 2006, 6, 30, 17, 30, 0 );

   if( ( dtNow >= CTime::GetCurrentTime() ) &&
       ( oYou.FeelLikeIt ) )
   {
      for( int oYou.Step = 1; ! oYou.InDrinksBar; oYou.Step ++ );
      {
         oYou.DistanceToDrinksBar --;
      }

      while( ( ! oYou.HadEnough ) && ( ! oMe.OutOfMoney ) )
      {
         oYou.Drink( (Drink) oWhatever( sWhat, sWhy ) );
      }
     
      oNotThirsty = (CNotThirsty) oYou;
   }

   return oNotThirsty;
}

I'd be really interested in similar code that anyone else may have in C++ or any other language,

cool.

Nice one Fdeveloper,  i was a bit bored so i did a lame port of your code to java

import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.GregorianCalendar;



/**

public class DrinksInThePub {

public static void main(String[] args) {

Me me = new Me("clocky";
You you [] = {new You("Fdeveloper", new You("cOdec"};

String sWhat = "Farewell drink";
String sWhy  = "End of my contract";
int distanceToPub = 200;
Calendar date = new GregorianCalendar();
date.set(2006,6,30,17,30,0);

for(int i = 0; i < you.length; i++){

    }
    you[i].setInPub(true);
   
    while(!you[i].isHadEnoughDrinks() && !me.isOutOfMoney()){

Excellent stuff clocky!!

I particularly like your definition of the "Person" base class which you then extend to "You" & "Me". Classic java programming

@clocky.

bad bad OOP . there's no need to inherit if you're only modifying a member variable. only inherit if you're adding functionality.

@codec

Please can u explain?

was refering to your "You" and "Me" classes

but inheritance is also useful if u have the same functionality that u wish to reuse in different classes which was d case in d sample . anyway it was just an harmless code i wrote during a bored afternoon

What does this do exactly ?

read the code and deduce for urself

perhaps if you had put comment inside you code, it would have been readable, i executed it and nothing came, doesnt make sense

c0dec:

cool.

class DreamBabe
{
private:
const double m_boobs;
const double m_bootay;
const int m_thatThing;

bool MadLove(const c0dec) { return true; }

public:
const int m_IQ;

DreamBabe() : m_IQ(130) {}
~DreamBabe();

void Listen(hiphop)
void Listen(nuMetal)
void Plays(const c0dec);
void Plays(games);
void Cooks(const every);

bool IsDumb() { return false; }
bool IsAGoldDigger() { return false; }
bool IsFat() { return false; }

}

@c0dec is mixing up classes and object instances

You dont need to inherit 'cause
You and me are Persons (right ?)

you just need to create two instances of Person


Person you = new Person("c0dec";
Person me = new Person("Ghenghis";

The issue about inheriting to change a member variable is this :

1) In good OOP Member variables shouldn't be public except through accessors, if they where private then you wont be have access to them through
inheritance anyway.

also you inherit for many reasons : type, behaviour etc.

, anyways u didn't need it at all in this case

harmless code as codec said. i don't think they were coding for a contest.
