Challenge: Implementing a smart home thermostat class

“

(upbeat music) - [Instructor] Here's a coding challenge to test your understanding of classes, member variables, access modifiers, constructors, and disruptors. Your task is to implement a basic thermostat class that mimics a smart home thermostat. The class should include the following: a member variable temperature of type float, which represents the current temperature setting of the thermostat in degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. A mode variable of unsigned in type, representing the mode of the thermostat. Zero for off, one for cooling, two for heating. And a member variable for location of type string for the location of the thermostat, such as living room or bedroom. The class should also have a public method that prints the current setting of the thermostat, including the temperature, mode, and location. Additionally, implement a constructor that takes initial values for the temperature mode and location, and assigns them to the member variables. Finally, add a disruptor that…
