CpSc 246 Inheritance Assignment
Spring 2023

50 points

Some political scientists are interested in examining the gender, race, sexual orientation, nationality, and religion of people. The administrators have incomplete lists of each demographic that is being tracked. Thus, before analysis can begin, the administrators want to update the demographics. (You will need to use vectors since they are dynamic).
You are to write a program that permits administrators to update demographic classifications and then creates a histogram of the demographics of a population.
The political scientists want to examine these characteristics:

gender
race
sexual orientation
nationality
religion

When the program starts, it is to begin in administrator mode and permit data to be added to any/all of the above characteristics in any order. Thus user should be able to add to a characteristic multiple times After the administrator is done, the software is to start normal input mode which permits different population groups to be analyzed.

Your assignment must use inheritance. Create a base demographic class, each of the demographics will be derived classes. The base class would include the demographic name, number of characteristics in the demographic, and if you wish, a demographic numeric id so that you do not have to constantly compare strings.
Each derived class will include a vector of the characteristics currently defined. The derived class must include sets and gets as appropriate.

Initially, use the following ("hard code" this data in your program in the constructor of the appropriate derived class)

gender: male, female
race: white, africanAmerican, americanIndian, asian, latino
sexualOrientation: gay, lesbian, bisexual
nationality: english, german, italian, irish, mexican, japanese, puertoRican, french, polish, scottish, dutch, swedish, norwegian, british, welsh, african, american, chinese
religion:christian, jewish, muslim, buddhist

the administrator must be permitted to selct groups until he/she is done (selects exit from the menu)
input must be by name (i.e., string)
you cannot assume the order that the demographic classifications will be entered

When the administrator is "done", the program should start data collection mode.

Prompt the user to enter data (in text format) about an individual
Permit the user to enter the data in any order
You cannot make any assumptions such as gender is entered before race
For example, either of the following are the same:
atheist agnostic done
agnostic atheist done
Input for the administrator
The user will enter "done" at the end of input
Display the five histograms

Use the following KEYBOARD input to test your code:

Administrator input

sample input for the data collection

german straight male atheist nativeHawaiian done

africanAmerican female bisexual christian african done

gay male white norwegian atheist done

english female straight christian asian done

korean intersexual bisexual white agnostic done

female jewish polish straight latino done

latino buddhist puertoRican male gay done

male white bisexual swedish agnostic done

straight male africanAmerican british christian done

female lesbian christian swedish white done

africanAmerican male saudiaArabian bisexual muslim done

white female pansexual atheist greek done

done

Histogram format must visually show the relative differences. For example:
Gender
male: * * * *
female: * * * * *
asexual: * * *
