Assignment #1

Instructor: Dr. Pawan Lingras

Due Date: September 23,1998

Create a class called CartesianPoint that has two data members called x and y.

• Write a constructor, which accepts the values of x, and y, use default values of zero. Overload input, output, assignment, comparison (== and !=), and minus operators.
• The minus (-) operator accepts two variables of CartesianPoint type and returns the distance between these points.
• The minus operator also throws an exception (Note: it is not an error) called ZeroDistance if the distance between two points is zero.
• The exception ZeroDistance also contains a variable of the type CartesianPoint as a public data member.

Write a test program to test all of the features of CartesianPoint type.
