. (1) The American ideal of a lush green lawn is borrowed from England, where the cool, misty climate makes it easy to grow grass. (2) In America, however, lawns are an energy-intensive, wasteful, and nonproductive form of landscaping. (3) To begin with, achieving a picture-perfect lawn requires gallons of expensive fertilizer and hazardous pesticides that pollute groundwater and run off into lakes and rivers. (4) In addition, lawn owners often exterminate the insects, moles, and gophers that play a part in the balance of nature. (5) Equally destructive is the constant watering lawns require, often where water is a limited resource. (6) Finally, the lawn must be mowed on a regular basis to give it that green carpet effect, requiring endless output of human and mechanical energy. (7) After all the labor and expense, the final result is a flat carpet that lacks interesting features, wildlife, or edible produce.

Consider the following statements: #include #include class temporary { private: string description; double first; double second; public: temporary(string = "", double = 0.0, double = 0.0); void set(string, double, double); double manipulate(); void get(string& , double& , double& ); void setdescription(string); void setfirst(double); void setsecond(double); }; write the definition of the member function set() so that the instance variables are set according to the parameters. write the definition of the constructor so that it initializes the instance variables using the function set() write the definition of the member function manipulate() that returns a decimal number (double) as follows: if the value of description is "rectangle", it returns first * second if the value of description is "circle" it returns the area of a circle with radius first if the value of description is "cylinder" it returns the volume of a cylinder with radius first and height second. hint: the volume of a cylinder is simply the area of the circle at the base times the height. if the value of description is "sphere" it returns the volume of the sphere with radius first. otherwise it returns -1.0;
