C++ Program:

(Package Inheritance Hierarchy) Package-delivery services, such as FedEx, DHL and UPS, offer a number of different shipping options, each with specific costs associated.

Create an inheritance hierarchy to represent various types of packages.

Use class Package as the base class of the hierarchy, then include classes TwoDayPackage and OvernightPackage that derive from Package.

Base class Package should include data members representing the name, address, city, state and ZIP code for both the sender and the recipient of the package, in addition to data members that store the weight (in ounces) and cost per ounce to ship the package. Packages constructor should initialize these data members. Ensure that the weight and cost per ounce contain positive values. Package should provide a public member function calculateCost that returns a double indicating the cost associated with shipping the package. Packages calculateCost function should determine the cost by multiplying the weight by the cost per ounce.

Derived class TwoDayPackage should inherit the functionality of base class Package, but also include a data member that represents a flat fee that the shipping company charges for two-day-delivery service. TwoDayPackages constructor should receive a value to initialize this data member. TwoDayPackage should redefine member function calculateCost so that it computes the shipping cost by adding the flat fee to the weight-based cost calculated by base class Packages calculateCost function.

Class OvernightPackage should inherit directly from class Package and contain an additional data member representing an additional fee per ounce charged for overnight-delivery service. OvernightPackage should redefine member function calculateCost so that it adds the additional fee per ounce to the standard cost per ounce before calculating the shipping cost.

Write a test program that creates objects of each type of Package and tests member function calculateCost.

You should have a .h and .cpp file for each class definition along with a cpp file with a main that demonstrates each class and calls its calculateCost().

After this perform the following....

Make Package an abstract class and calculateCost a virtual function that is overridden in the subclasses.

In your main show that polymorphism is working (have a pointer to a Package pointing to an instance of one of the subclasses and call calculateCost(). You should see the subclasses calculateCost method be called).
