Reference no: EM132324658

Define a Pet class that stores the pet's name as a C++ string and weight as protected members. Add appropriate constructors, accessor functions, and mutator functions. Also define a function named getLifespan that returns a string with the value "unknown lifespan."

string getLifespan();

Next, define a Dog class that is derived from Pet. The Dog class should have a private member variable named breed that stores the breed of the dog as a C++ string. Add appropriate constructors, mutator functions, and accessor functions for the breed variable. Redefine the getLifespan function to return "Approximately 7 years" if the dog's weight is over 100 pounds and "Approximately 13 years" if the dog's weight is under 100 pounds.
