Is there any kind of rules or a guide to when should I create classes?
I am doing a school assignment in where I create a basic company workers management system.
I input the data of the workers and save them on a file, and use them all over the program.
I have some functions that I have to write like, inputWorkersDataAndSaveToFile(), readFromFileAndPrintWorkersData(), sortAndPrint, diplayWorkersWithSalariesAbove, and a few more.
So it got me wondering, should I create a class and group all these functions together since they are all related? Would it be necessary since I am going to use only one instance of the class ever?
Worth noting that I want create a vector that hold all the workers data and plan using that vector in multiple functions. One reason I started thinking about creating a class is that I am trying to avoid using global variables.
So my program would have two classes
class Worker
and
class Manager
Should I create a class in this scenario? Also, is there any rule of thumbs to when to create classes.
I have searched about this topic but didn't find much.
My question really falls back on how to design things.
Thanks
