(soft upbeat music) - [Instructor] How did it go? I hope you enjoyed this challenge. Let me walk you through my solution. Here's the definition of the thermostat class. The public section includes the constructor, disruptor, and the display status member functions. The constructor takes three parameters, temp for temperature, M for mode, and loc for the location. It initializes the member variables with these values. This constructor ensures that each time a thermostat object is created, it's properly initialized with meaningful data. The disruptor prints a message indicating that the thermostat is being destroyed as per requirement. Then we have our display status function used to print the thermostat's location, temperature, and mode. Here I used a ternary operator to convert the mode from an integer to a more user-friendly string such as off, cooling and heating. I've placed the member variables under private access. We've got a temperature member variable of type float, an…
