  Integer i {10};
  i.show();
  std::cout << "Change value  of i to 15." << std::endl;
  i.setValue(15);
  i.show();
                                               
  std::cout << "Create j from object i." << std::endl;
  Integer j {i};
  j.show();
  std::cout << "Set value of j to 150 times that of i." << std::endl;
  j.setValue(150*i.getValue());
  j.show();
                                               
  std::cout << "Create k with the value 300." << std::endl;
  Integer k {300};
  k.show();
  std::cout << "Set value of k to sum of i and j values." << std::endl;
  k.setValue(i.getValue()+j.getValue());
  k.show();
                                               
  std::cout << "Result of comparing i and j is " << compare(i, j) << std::endl;
  std::cout << "Result of comparing k and j is " << compare(k, j) << std::endl;
}
