Design and implement a C++ class to model a telephone directory for a company. The directory should contain space for up to 100 names, phone numbers, birthday, and room numbers (where the first digit of the room number is the floor). You should have functions to do the following:

• Create an empty directory (all names bl
• Read in all the telephone directory information from a file – create & read can be done within a constructor.
• Retrieve the entry corresponding to a given last name or first name
• Display the entire directory
• Add a new entry to the directory
• Display the entries with the same birth month
• Display the names of all people whose offices are on the same floor (assume the first digit of the room number indicates the floor).

Input

Each line of the input file (called “dir.txt” which should be in the same directory as the running program) is in the following format:

• Last name 15 char string
• First name 10 char string
• Middle Initial 1 char
• Phone No. 10. char string
• Room No. 3 digit char string
• Date of Birth 3 char strings: mm dd yyyy eg. 4 12 1959 or 12 9 2004

For example:

JOHNSON JAMES L 4103332222 315 1 31 1975

Create a simple GUI that will allow the user to

• Choose options to perform (see below)
• Enter data about new entries
• Display data about existing entries
• Display results of specialized searches

You should allow the user to pick from the following options:

1. Find an entry corresponding to a given last name or first name
2. Display all the telephone directory information
3. Add a new entry to the directory
4. Display the names of all the people with the same birth month
5. Display the names of all the people with the offices on the same floor

Notes

1. You must use classes.
2. You may want to use structures within classes, or classes within classes (ie. Friend classes)
3. All submissions are expected to be individual work. All work handed in must be original. Duplicate or very similar programs receive no points.

Time for Completion: : 3 weeks
