Description
Genealogy tree
This assignment will give you practice writing recursive functions.
A genealogy tree for a person shows all the descendants of that person. Here is a tree
for Charles:
You are provided the code that will build such a tree. Each node of the tree is an
instance of the class Person, which you need to complete.

Expected output
Your output should exactly match what’s on the right:
• Each person’s name is followed in parentheses
by his or her spouse’s name, if married.
• Each person is followed by his or her children in
order, if any. Each child is in turn followed by his
or her children, if any.
• Note carefully the printing of the vertical bars,
plus signs, and horizontal lines.
Recursive member functions
You must use recursion in at least the following member
functions:
• print: Print a person’s name and the spouse
name (if married), then recursively print the
children (if any).
• print_bar: Recursively print spaces and/or
vertical bars before each name (except for the
name at the top).
• ~Person: Recursively delete all the nodes of the
tree. Print the name of the person being deleted.
