I am writing a class employ with the following private data members

fName. // An object of type char array used to hold the Employee's first name 
lName. // An object of type char array used to hold the Employee's last name 
address. // An object of type char array used to hold the Employee's address 
ssn. // An object of type char array used to hold the Employee's social security number 
hours. // An object of type double used to hold the Employee's hours worked 
payRate. // An object of type static  double used to hold the payRate 
empCount/ // an object of type static int that will count the number of Employee objects created

Now the problem is how do i use the following accessors to acesses the private memebers:

(Toggle Plain Text)

1.       char* getFName()   for the fName member

2.      char * getLName()

3.      char* getSsn()

4.      char* getAddress()

5.      double getHours()

6.       void display() :

The regular one i understand ,. the porblem are the ones with the pionter return type,..
The is bascially an abstract class and couple of classes would be dervied from it.
Thank u,..
