CS304P Assignment 1 Solution Fall 2026

This assignment requires the implementation of a Smart EV Charging Session Management System in C++. You will design a class named ChargingSession that utilizes various object-oriented programming concepts to manage charging records. The system tracks charger IDs, electricity consumption, and total session counts. You must produce a single source code file that demonstrates these features through specific object creation and reporting tasks.

1. 1

   Class Implementation

   20 marks

   Define the ChargingSession class with a constant chargerID, a unitsConsumed variable, and a static totalSessions counter. Implement a parameterized constructor, a copy constructor, and a destructor that prints a specific destruction message. You must also include a const calculateCost function, a const displayReport function, and a static getTotalSessions function.

2. 2

   Main Function Operations

   Create object s1 using your VU ID's last three digits for the charger ID and 18.5 kWh. Create object s2 by copying s1, and create a constant object s3 using your VU ID's first three digits and 12.0 kWh. Finally, call displayReport for all three objects and output the total session count using the static member function.

What to submit

One .cpp file.
