Programming Languages
• Programming languages allow programmers to code software.
• The three major families of languages are:
Machine languages
Assembly languages
High-Level languages

Machine Languages
• Comprised of 1s and 0s
• The “native” language of a computer
• Difficult to program – one misplaced 1 or 0 will cause the program to
fail.
• Example of code:
1110100010101 111010101110
10111010110100 10100011110111

Assembly Languages
• Assembly languages are a step towards easier programming.
• Assembly languages are comprised of a set of elemental commands
which are tied to a specific processor.
• Assembly language code needs to be translated to machine language
before the computer processes it.
• Example:
ADD 1001010, 1011010

High-Level Languages
• High-level languages represent a giant leap towards easier programming.
• The syntax of HL languages is similar to English.
• Historically, we divide HL languages into two groups:
Procedural languages
Object-Oriented languages (OOP)

Procedural Languages
• Early high-level languages are typically called procedural languages.
• Procedural languages are characterized by sequential sets of linear
commands. The focus of such languages is on structure.
• Examples include C, COBOL, Fortran, LISP, Perl, HTML, VBScript

Relationship of Data And Functions of POP

Object-Oriented Languages
• Most object-oriented languages are high-level languages.
• The focus of OOP languages is not on structure, but on modeling data.
• Programmers code using “blueprints” of data models called classes.
• Examples of OOP languages include C++, Visual Basic.NET and Java.

INTRODUCTION
• T Bells LAB early in 1980’s by BJARNE STROUSTRUP.
• STROUSTRUP added some features to his favorite language Simula
67. (Earliest OOP).
• STROUSTRUP called “ C with Classes ”.
• C++ ( C Plus Plus) is named by Rick Masitti.

Basic concepts of OOP
• Object based programming is a newer paradigm that implements some
features of object oriented programming but not all. In object based
programming, data and its associated meaningful functions are
enclosed in one single entity a class.
• Classes enforce information hiding and abstraction thereby separating
the implementation details and the uses interface.

Contd..
• Object - Objects have states and behaviors. Example: A Student has
states - color, name, as well as behaviors - reading, writing, eating. An
object is an instance of a class.
• Class - A class can be defined as a template/blueprint that describes
the behaviors/states that object of its type support.
• Methods/Member functions - A method is basically a behavior. A
class can contain many methods. It is in methods where the logics are
written, data is manipulated and all the actions are executed.
• Instance Variables/Data Members - Each object has its unique set of
instance variables. An object's state is created by the values assigned to
these instance variables.

Basic concepts of OOP
These general concepts of OOP are given below:
Data Abstraction
Data Encapsulation
Modularity
Inheritance
Polymorphism

Data Abstraction
• Abstraction refers to the act of representing essential features
without including the background details or explanations.
• Since the classes use the concept of data abstraction , they are known
as ADT(Abstract Data Types).

Data Encapsulation
• The wrapping up of data and operations / functions (that operate on the
data) into a single unit (called class) is known as Encapsulation.
• The data is not accessible to the outside world, and only those functions
which are wrapped in the class can access it.
• These functions provide the interface between the object’s data and the
program.
• The insulation of the data from direct access by the program is called
data hiding or information hiding.

What is a Modularity ?
• Modularity is the property of a system that has been
decomposed into a set of cohesive and loosely coupled
modules.

Modularity
The act of partitioning a program into individual components is
called modularity. The justification for partitioning a program is that
• it reduces its complexity to some degree and
• it creates a number of well-defined, documented boundaries
within the program

Inheritance
• Inheritance is the capability of one class of things to inherit capabilities or
properties from another class.
• Inheritance is the process by which objects of one class acquire the
properties of objects of another class.
• It supports the concept of hierarchical classification.
• In OOP, the concept of inheritance provides the idea of reusability.

Polymorphism
• Polymorphism is the ability for a message or data to be processed in
more than one form.
• The process of making an operator to exhibit different behaviours in
different instances is known as operator overloading.
• Using a single function name to perform different types of tasks is
known as function overloading.

Dynamic Binding
• Binding refers to the linking of a procedure call to the code to be
executed in response to the call.
• Dynamic binding(also known as late binding or run-time
binding) means that the code associated with a given procedure call
is not known until the time of the call at run-time.
• It is associated with polymorphism and inheritance.

Message Passing
• Message passing involves specifying the name of the object,the
name of the function(message) and the information to be sent.

Benefits of oops
• OOP offers several benefits to the program designer and the user.
• Object-orientation contributes to the solutions of many problem
associated with the development and quality of software products.
• The new technology promises greater programmer productivity, better
quality of software and lesser maintenance cost.

CONTD..
The principal advantages
• Through inheritance, we can eliminate redundant code and extend the use of
existing classes.
• We can built programs from standard working modules that communicate
with one another rather than, having to start writing the code from scratch.
• This leads to saving of development time and higher productivity.
• The principle of data hiding helps the programmers to built secure program
that can’t be invaded by code in other parts of the program.
• It is possible to have multiple objects to coexist without any interference.
• It is possible to map objects in the problem domain to those objects in the
program

ADVANTAGES of OOP
• Re-use of code.
• Ease of comprehension.
• Ease of fabrication and maintenance.
• Easy redesign and extension.

DISADVANTAGES of OOP
• With OOP, classes tend be overly generalized.
• The relations among classes become artificial at times.
• The OOP programs’ design is tricky.
• Also one need to do proper planning and proper design for
OOP programming.
• To program with OOP, programmer need proper skills such as
design skills, programming skills, thinking in terms of objects
etc.

C++ CHARACTER SET
• Letters:- A-Z, a-z
• Digits:- 0 to 9
• Special Symbols:- space + - / ( ) [ ] = ! = < > , ‘ “ $ # ; : ? &
• White Spaces:- Blank Space , Horizontal Tab, Vertical tab, Carriage
Return.
• Other Characters:- C++ can process any of the 256 ASCII Characters
as data or as literal.

TOKENS
• The Smallest individual unit in a program is known as Token.
• Lexical Unit is the another name given to Token.
• C++ has following Tokens
Keywords
Identifiers
Literals or Constants
Punctuators
 Operators

KEY WORDS
• Key words are the words that convey special meaning to the compiler.
• Key words are also called as Reserved words meaning their meaning is
reserved in C++.
• Some of Key words are,
float int auto extern
double if else char
case do while goto…etc
• Added by ANSI C++
bool true false export
mutable typeid typename using

IDENTIFIERS
• Identifier refers to the name of variables, functions, arrays, classes,
etc. created by the programmer.
• Identifier is an arbitrary long sequence of letters and digits.
• The first character must be letter.
• The underscore ( _ ) counts as letter.
• Upper and Lower case letters are different.
• All characters are significant.

EXAMPLES OF IDENTIFIERS
• C++ is a Case Sensitive Language as it treats upper case letters and
lower case letters differently.
• Some Valid identifiers,
Myfile DATE9_7_8 z3t9x3
MYFILE _DS _FXR
• Some Invalid identifiers,
DATA-REC 28dre break

LITERALS
Literals often referred to as constants.
Constants refers to fixed values that do not change during the
execution of a program.
These are the data items that never change their value during the
program run.

TYPES OF C++ LITERALS
• INTEGER – CONSTANT
• CHARACTER – CONSTANT
• FLOATING – CONSTANT
• STRING – LITERAL

INTEGER CONSTANT
• These are the whole numbers without any fractional part.
• An integer constant must have at least one digit and must not contain
fractional part.
• It may contain + or - Sign.
• A number with no sign is assumed as positive.
• Commas can not appear in integer constant.

TYPES OF INTEGER CONSTANTS
• Decimal Integer Constants
• Octal Integer Constants
• Hexadecimal Constants

DECIMAL INTEGER CONSTANT
• An integer constant consisting of sequence of digits is taken to be
decimal integer constant unless it begins with 0.
• For instance 1234,56,+86,-56,-89,-22 are decimal integer constant.

OCTAL INTEGER CONSANT
• A sequence of digits starting with 0(digit Zero) is taken to be an octal
integer constant.
• for instance Decimal 8 is written as 010
as octal integer
8 10 =10 8
• Decimal 12 is written as
12 10 = 14 8

CHARACTER CONSTANT
• A character constant is one character enclosed within single quotes
Valid constants ‘a’ ‘z’ ‘k’
Invalid Constants a z k
• In c++ character constant must have single character and must be
enclosed in single quotes.

NONGRAPHIC CHARACTERS
Nongraphic character constants are those characters that can not be
typed directly from the keyboard.
e.g backspace, tab, carriage return
C++ Allows programmers to have certain nongraphic characters.

ESCAPE SEQUENCES
Escape sequences are nongraphic character constants these are also
called as non printing characters.
These nongraphic characters are represented by means of escape
sequence and is represented by a backslash ( ) followed by a one or
more character.

ESCAPE SEQUCENCE IN C++
Escape Sequence Non Graphic Character
 a Bell
 b Back Space
 f Form Feed
 n New Line
 r Carriage Return
 t Horizontal Tab
 v Vertical Tab
 ’ Single Quote
 ” Double Quote
 ? Question Mark
 on Octal Number ( On represents
the number in octal)
 xHn Hexadecimal number
 0 Null

NOTE
THESE ESCAPE SQUENCES ARE USED IN OUTPUT STATEMENT COUT
FOR EX:
cout<<“nt Wel Come”; // Right statement
cin>>”nt”>>n; //Wrong statement
Do not use in cin statements

FLOATING CONSTANTS
Floating constants are also called as Real constants. These may be
written in one of two of forms called fractional form or exponent
form.
A real constant in fractional form must have one digit before a
decimal point and at least one digit after the decimal point. It may
also have either +ve or –ve sign preceding it. A real constant with no
sign is assumed to be positive.

EXAMPLES OF REAL CONSTANTS
The following are the valid real constants in fractional form.
2.0 17.5 -89.9 -0.000732
The following are the invalid real constants in fractional
7 7. 24.34.32
12,45,344.09

REAL CONSTANTS IN EXPONENT FORM
A Real constant in exponent form has two parts
1. Mantissa
2. Exponent
Mantissa must be either an integer or proper real constant. The
mantissa is followed by letter E or e and the exponent must be an
integer.

EXAMPLE OF REAL CONSTANTS
The floating point number 5.8 can be written as,
0.58 x 101=0.58E01 or 0.58e01, here E01 or e01 represents 101
0.58 E01
Mantissa part Exponent part
Valid Real Constants : 123E03, 0.76e02, -0.12e-2
Invalid Real Constants: 172.E03, 1.2E,0.4E2.3

STRING LITERAL
A String Literal is a sequence of characters surrounded by double
quotes
 A Multi character constants are treated as string literals.
For Example: “abc” in the memory this string is represented as
“abc0” i.e along with the terminating character (Slash Zero).
String is an array of character.

PUNCTUATORS
Punctuators are also called as separators The Followings are used as
punctuators
Brackets [ ]
Parantheses ( )
Braces { }
Comma ,
Semicolon ;
Colon :
Asterisk *
Ellipsis …
Equal Sign =
Pound Sign #

OPERATORS
Operators are the foundation of any programming language.
Operators allows us to perform different kinds of operations on
operands.
Operators are tokens that triggers some computation when applied to
a variable and other objects in an function.

UNARY OPERATORS
Unary Operators are those operators they act upon one operand.
OR
Operators that require one operator to operate upon.
& Address Operator
* Indirection Operator
+ Unary Plus
- Unary Minus
~ Bitwise Compliment
++ Increment Operator
-- Decrement Operator

BINARY OPERATORS
• Binary Operators are those operators that require two
operands to operate upon.
Arithmetic Operators
+ Addition
- Subtraction
* Multiplication
/ Division
% Remainder or Modulus

SHIFT OPERATORS
<< (Shift Left)
>> (Shift Right)
For More information you will study in future chapters.

LOGICAL OPERATORS
&& Logical AND
|| Logical OR
! Logical Negation

ASSIGNMENT OPERATORS
The assignment operator is used to store the constants, variables, and result
of an expression and return value of a function from right side into variable
placed in left side.
= Assignment Operator
When same variable is used in both left and right side of an arithmetic
expression, we can use the shortcut assignment operators .
The operators are : +=, – =, *=, /=, %=
*= Assign Product a*=b------------ a=a*b
/= Assign Quotient
%= Assign Remainder
+= Assign Sum
-= Assign Minus

Relational Operator
< Less than
> Greater than
<= Less than equal to
>= Greater than equal to
== Equal to
!= Not equal to

Other Operators
• Conditional operators: The ?: are conditional operators. They do the job done by
if..else control structure.
• Syntax : expression1 ? expression2 : expression3;
• Ex : big = (a>b) ? a : b;
• Sizeof and Comma operators: The sizeof operator returns the memory size
occupied by an operand in terms of bytes.
• Ex : a = sizeof(int);
• The comma operator (,) adjoins several expressions.
• Ex : x = (y = 3, y + 1);

Operators in C++
C++ introduces some new operators. They are :
<< insertion operator (or output operator)
>> extraction operator (or input operator)
:: Scope resolution operator
::* pointer-to-member declarator
->* pointer-to-member operator
.* pointer-to-member operator
delete memory release operator
endl line feed operator
new memory allocation operator
setw field width operator

Basic Data types

Built-in- data type
• Primary (Fundamental) data types in C/C++ programming includes the 4 most basic data types,
that is:
• int: It is responsible for storing integers. The memory it occupies depends on the compiler (32
or 64 bit). In general, int data type occupies 4 bytes of memory when working with a 32-bit
compiler.
• float: It is responsible for storing fractions or digits up to 7 decimal places. It is usually referred
to as a single-precision floating-point type. It occupies 4 bytes of memory
• char: It can be used to store a set of all characters which may include alphabets, numbers and
special characters. It occupies 1 byte of memory being the smallest addressable unit of a
machine containing a fundamental character set.
• double: It is responsible for storing fractions or digits up to 15-16 decimal places. It is usually
referred to as a double-precision floating-point type. It occupies 8 bytes of memory
• void (Null) data type: It indicates zero or no return value. It is generally used to assign the null
value while declaring a function.

Built-in- data type
• In C++, in addition to the primary data types available in C, there are
few more data types available in the C++ programming language.They
are:
• bool: It refers to a boolean/logical value. It can either be true or false.
• wchar_t: It refers to a wide character whose size is either 2 or 4 bytes.
It is similar to the char data type but the only difference is the space
occupied in the computer memory.
• string: Instead of declaring an array of characters to enter a string
data type, C++ gives you the provision to declare the “string” data
type.

Derived Data Types
• Secondary (Derived) Data Types in C and C++
• As the name itself suggests, they are derived from the fundamental data
types in the form of a group to collect a cluster of data used as a single
unit. These include:
• Arrays: A collection of data items of similar data types, which is accessed
using a common name.
• The basic syntax of declaring an array is: return_type array_name[size];
• For instance: float marks[5];
• Pointers: Pointers in C/C++ are basically variables that are used to store the
memory address of another variable.
• Functions: It is a group of statements that are written to perform a specific
task. Functions are either user-defined or built-in library functions.

User-defined Data Types
• User-defined Data Types in C and C++
• Structures – It is a user-defined data type in which a collection of different
data types can be made and accessed through an object.
• Union– A special kind of data type which gives us the provision to store
different data types in the same memory location.
• Class- C++ also permits us to define another user-defined data type known
as class which can be used, just like any other basic data type, to declare
variables. The class variables are known as objects.
• Enumeration – It refers to the arithmetic data types used to define
variables to specify only certain discrete integer values throughout the
entire program.

Reference variables in C++
• When a variable is declared as reference, it becomes an alternative
name for an existing variable.
• A variable can be declared as reference by putting ‘&’ in the
declaration.
• The reference variable can be created as follows:
data-type & reference-name=variable-name;
• C++ assigns additional meaning to the symbol &. Here, & is not an
address operator.

#include<iostream>
using namespace std; //Using namespace std, tells the compiler to use standard namespace. Namespace
collects identifiers used for class, object and variables.
int main()
{
int x = 10;
// ref is a reference to x.
int &ref = x;
// Value of x is now changed to 20
ref = 20;
cout << "x = " << x << endl ;
// Value of x is now changed to 30
x = 30;
cout << "ref = " << ref << endl ;
return 0;
}
Output:
x = 20
ref = 30

Type modifiers
• Modifiers basically alter the function of a data type and make it more specific by the inclusion of
additional provisions.
• C++ allows us to use some modifiers for int, char and double types
• signed
• unsigned
• long
• Short
• Signed: It is used to store zero, positive or negative values.(signed variable stores the signed value in the
allocated memory)
• Unsigned: It can store only zero or positive values.(unsigned variable does not store signed value)
• Long: It is used to store large integer numbers. The size of the long type is 8 bytes.
• Short: It is used to store small integer numbers. Its size is of 2 Bytes.
• short modifier makes a type to use less number of bytes and it reduces the range of values for that type.

Type modifiers
• long and short modify the maximum and minimum values that a data type will hold.
• A plain int must have a minimum size of short.
• Size hierarchy : short int < int < long int
• Size hierarchy for floating point numbers is : float < double < long double
• long float is not a legal type and there are no short floating point numbers.
• Signed types includes both positive and negative numbers.
• Unsigned, numbers are always without any sign, that is always positive.

Type modifiers
• The modifiers signed, unsigned, long, and short can be applied to integer base types. In
addition, signed and unsigned can be applied to char, and long can be applied to double.
• The modifiers signed and unsigned can also be used as prefix to long or short modifiers.
For example, unsigned long int.
• C++ allows a shorthand notation for declaring unsigned, short, or long integers. You can
simply use the word unsigned, short, or long, without int. It automatically implies int.
• For example, the following two statements both declare unsigned integer variables.
unsigned x;
unsigned int y;

Type modifiers
Data Type / Size(in bytes) Range
short int / 2 -32,768 to 32,767
unsigned short int / 2 0 to 65,535
unsigned int / 4 0 to 4,294,967,295
int / 4 -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
long int / 4 -2,147,483,648 to 2,147,483,647
unsigned long int / 4 0 to 4,294,967,295
signed char / 1 -128 to 127
unsigned char / 1 0 to 255
float / 4
double / 8
long double / 12
wchar_t / 2 or 4 1 wide character

Type casting
• Converting an expression of a given type into another type is known as type-casting.
• Implicit conversion
• Implicit conversions do not require any operator. They are automatically performed when a value is
copied to a compatible type.
Eg: short a=2000;
int b;
b=a;
• Here, the value of a has been promoted from short to int and we have not had to specify any type-
casting operator. This is known as a standard conversion.
• Standard conversions affect fundamental data types, and allow conversions such as the conversions
between numerical types (short to int, int to float, double to int...), to or from bool, and some pointer
conversions.
• Some of these conversions may imply a loss of precision, which the compiler can signal with a
warning. This warning can be avoided with an explicit conversion.

Type casting
• Explicit conversion
Eg: short a=2000;
int b;
b=(int) a;
b= int (a);
• Two notations for explicit type conversion:
(1) Functional notation
(2) C-like casting notation

Inbuilt Typecasting Functions in C/C++
• There are 5 basic types of inbuilt typecast functions in C/C++:
• atof(): We use it to convert string data type into the float data type.
• atoi(): We use it to convert string data type into the int data type.
• atol(): We use it to convert string data type into the long data type.
• itoa(): We use it to convert int data type into the string data type.
• ltoa(): We use it to convert long data type into the string data type.

Control Statements
• Control statements are elements in the source code that control the
flow of program execution.
• They include blocks using { and } brackets, loops using for, while and
do while, and decision-making using if and switch.
• There are two types of control statements:
• conditional and
• unconditional.

Control Statements
• Conditional statements are executed when one or more conditions are satisfied.
• The most common of these conditional statements is the if statement.
• C++ uses many other conditional statements including:
• if-else: An if-else statement operates on an either/or basis. One statement is executed
if the condition is true; another is executed if the condition is false.
• if-else if-else: This statement chooses one of the statements available depending on
the condition. If no conditions are true, the else statement at the end is executed.
• while: While repeats a statement as long as a given statement is true.
• do while: A do while statement is similar to a while statement with the addition that
the condition is checked at the end.
• for: A for statement repeats a statement as long as the condition is satisfied.

Control Statements
• Unconditional control statements do not need to satisfy any condition. They
immediately move control from one part of the program to another part.
• Unconditional statements in C++ include:
• goto: A goto statement directs control to another part of the program.The goto
statement is used for transferring the control of a program to a given label. The
syntax of goto statement looks like this:
goto label_name;
• break: A break statement terminates a loop (a repeated structure)
• continue: Continue statement is used inside loops. Whenever a continue statement
is encountered inside a loop, control directly jumps to the beginning of the loop for
next iteration, skipping the execution of statements inside loop’s body for the
current iteration.

Control Statements
If statement
Syntax:
if(condition){
//code to be executed
}
If else statement
Syntax:
if(condition){
//code if condition is true
}else{
//code if condition is false
}

Nested if statement
if(condition)
{
}
else if(condition)
{//code to be executed
}
else if(condition)
{
}
Else
{
}

Switch Statements
syntax
switch (n)
{
case 1: // code to be executed if n = 1; break;
case 2: // code to be executed if n = 2; break;
default: // code to be executed if n doesn't match any cases
}

Input and output statements
• Input Stream: If the direction of flow of bytes is from device(for
example: Keyboard) to the main memory then this process is called
input.
• Output Stream: If the direction of flow of bytes is opposite, i.e. from
main memory to device( display screen ) then this process is called
output.

Header files available in C++ for Input / Output
operation
• iostream: iostream stands for standard input output stream. This
header file contains definitions to objects like cin, cout etc.
• iomanip: iomanip stands for input output manipulators. The
methods declared in this files are used for manipulating streams.
This file contains definitions of setw, setprecision etc.
• fstream: This header file mainly describes the file stream. This
header file is used to handle the data being read from a file as
input or data being written into the file as output.

Accessing Public Data Members
class Student
{
public:
int rollno;
string name;
};
int main()
{
Student A;
Student B;
A.rollno=1;
A.name="Adam";
B.rollno=2;
B.name="Bella";
cout <<"Name and Roll no of A is :"<< A.name << A.rollno;
cout <<"Name and Roll no of B is :"<< B.name << B.rollno; }

PREDEFINED STREAMS IN I/O LIBRARY
At the lowest level files are implemented as streams of bytes, then
What is STREAM?
A Stream is simply a sequence of bytes.
Input and output operations are supported by the istream (input
stream) and ostream (output stream) classes.

PREDEFINED STREAMS IN I/O LIBRARY
The ostream output operation, referred to as insertion and is
performed by insertion operator <<
The istream input operation, referred to as extraction and is
performed by extraction operator >>

EXTRACTION AND INSERTION SYMBOLS
extraction operator Symbol is,
>>
insertion operator symbol is,
<<

cin and cout statements
cin (pronounced as see-in) stands for console input.
cout (pronounced as see-out) stands for console output.

SYNTAX OF cin STATEMENT
The general format or the syntax of cin statement is,
cin>>variablename;
Or
cin>>variablename1>>variablename2>>variable name3………>>variablenamen;
for example if four variables are to be input form the keyboard then,
cin>>a>>b>>c>>d;
Or the same statement can be written as follows,
cin>>a;
cin>>b;
cin>>c;
cin>>d;

SYNTAX OF cout STATEMENT
• The general format or the syntax of cout statement is,
cout<<variablename;
Or
cout<<variablename1<<variablename2<<variable name3………<<variablenamen;
for example if four variables are to be input form the keyboard then,
cout<<a <<b <<c <<d;
Or the same statement can be written as follows,
cout<<a;
cout<<b;
cout<<c;
cout<<d;

cout STATEMENT
Another way of writing cout statement is,
cout<<string<<variablename;
where,
String is a sequence of characters enclosed within a double quotation.
Variable name is the value of variable which is to be printed after the
message(string)

cout STATEMENT
totalamt;=6700;
cout<<“The Total Amount is = “<<totalamt;
Here, in this example
The Total Amount is= is the string
And the totalamt is the variable name, the value of the total is printed
Out put of this statement is as follows
The total Amount is = 6700

cout STATEMENT
As studied escape sequences are used in out put (cout) statements
• cout<<“ntBasic Pay=“<<basic<<“nt DA=“<<da<<“nt HRA =
“<<hra<<“nt Gross Salary = “<<gs;
output of the above statement is,
Basic Pay=5900
DA=40
HRA =30
Gross Salary = 10030

COMMENTS
The comments are the non executable statements. When ever
compiler identifies this is comment then it ignores. There are two
types of comments in C++
Single Line Comment (//)
Multi Line Comment (starts with /* and ends with */)

COMMENTS
The comments are the non executable statements. When ever compiler
identifies this is comment then it ignores.
• Single Line Comment Example
// My First C++ Program
This is the comment. All lines beginning with // are the comments in
the program.
Starting with /* and ended with */ is used for multi line comments
• Multi Line Comment Example
/* Write a CPP Program that calculates the sum and average of three
numbers*/

I/O OPERATORS
Input coming from the user’s terminal referred to as standard input is
tied to the predefined iostream cin
output directed to the user’s terminal, referred to as standard
output, is tied to the predefined iostream cout.

OUTPUT OPERATOR “<<’’
The output operator (“<<’’) (“put to’’), also called as stream insertion
operator is used to direct a value to the standard output device.
For example
cout<<“The Sum of 5 + 2 = “;
cout<< 5 + 2 ;
The statement will produce following output
The Sum of 5 + 2 = 7

OUTPUT OPERATOR <<
Now observe the output of following statement.
cout<< “The Sum of 5 + 2 is “;
cout<< 5 + 2;
cout<<“n”;
cout<<“The Result pf 8 – 2 is“;
cout<<8 – 2 ;
The Output of abve set of statements will be as follows,
The Sum of 5 + 2 is 7
The Result pf 8 – 2 is 6

OUTPUT OPERATOR <<
The same statements can be written by using single cout statement
cout<< “The Sum of 5 + 2 is<< 5 + 2<<“n”<<“The Result pf 8 – 2 is“<<8 – 2 ;
The Output will be same but code is reduced.
The Sum of 5 + 2 is 7
The Result pf 8 – 2 is 6
Note: Stream insertion operator >> signifies that insert the value that follows
in to the stream named cout.

/* Write a C ++ Program that prints the sum of two
values */
#include <iostream.h> // for I/O Operation
#include<conio.h> // for clrscr() and getch() functions.
int main()
{
clrscr() ;
int value1, value2, sum ;
cout << “Enter First Value:”;
cin>>value1;
cout<<“Enter Second Value:”;
cin>>value2;

Program contd..
sum=value1+value2;
cout<<“The Sum of two given values is : “;
cout<<sum;
return 0;
}
Definition: Variable refers to a storage area whose contents can vary during
processing. In this example sum , value1 , valu2 are the variables.
NOTE: The Stream extraction operator >>, signifies “extract the next value” from the stream named cin and
assign it to the next named variable

OUTPUT OF PROGRAM
The output produced by the program is as follows,
Enter the First value: 6
Enter the Second value : 7
The Sum of the given value is : 13

CASCADING I/O OPERATOR
• The Multiple use of input or output operators (“>>” or “>>”) in one
statement is called cascading of I/O operators.
• For Example OUTPUT OPERATOR
cout<<“The sum of “;
cout<<value1;
cout<< “and “;
cout<<value2;
cout<<“ is “;
cout<<value1+value2;
This can be using cascading of output operator as,
cout<<“The sum of “<<value1<< “and “<<value2<<“ is “ <<value1+value2;

CASCADING I/O OPERATOR
• For Example INPUT OPERATOR
cout<<“Enter the two values “;
cin>>value1;
cin>>value2;
This can be using cascading of input operator as,
cout<<“Enter the two values “;
cin>>value1>>value2;

Arrays and Strings

Arrays
• Array - a collection of a fixed number of
components wherein all of the components have
the same data type
• One-dimensional array - an array in which the
components are arranged in a list form
• The general form of declaring a one-dimensional
array is:
dataType arrayName[intExp];
where intExp is any expression that evaluates to a
positive integer
109

Declaring an array
• The statement
int num[5];
declares an array num of 5 components of the type int
• The components are num[0], num[1], num[2], num[3], and
num[4]
110

111

Accessing Array Components
• The general form (syntax) of accessing an array
component is:
arrayName[indexExp]
where indexExp, called index, is any expression whose value
is a nonnegative integer
• Index value specifies the position of the component in
the array
• The [] operator is called the array subscripting
operator
• The array index always starts at 0
112

113

114

115

116

Processing One-Dimensional Arrays
• Some basic operations performed on a one-
dimensional array are:
• Initialize
• Input data
• Output data stored in an array
• Find the largest and/or smallest element
• Each operation requires ability to step through the
elements of the array
• Easily accomplished by a loop
117

Accessing Array Components (continued)
• Consider the declaration
int list[100]; //list is an array
//of the size 100
int i;
• This for loop steps through each element of the array list
starting at the first element
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) //Line 1
//process list[i] //Line 2
118

Accessing Array Components (continued)
• If processing list requires inputting data into list
• The statement in Line 2 takes the from of an input
statement, such as the cin statement
for (i = 0; i < 100; i++) //Line 1
cin >> list[i];
119

120

121

Array Index Out of Bounds
• If we have the statements:
double num[10];
int i;
• The component num[i] is a valid index if i = 0, 1,
2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9
• The index of an array is in bounds if the index >=0
and the index <= ARRAY_SIZE-1
122

Array Index Out of Bounds (continued)
• If either the index < 0 or the index >
ARRAY_SIZE-1
• then we say that the index is out of bounds
• There is no guard against indices that are out of
bounds
• C++ does not check if the index value is within range
123

Array Initialization
• As with simple variables
• Arrays can be initialized while they are being declared
• When initializing arrays while declaring them
• Not necessary to specify the size of the array
• Size of array is determined by the number of initial values in
the braces
• For example:
double sales[] = {12.25, 32.50, 16.90, 23,
45.68};
124

Partial Initialization
• The statement
int list[10] = {0};
declares list to be an array of 10 components and
initializes all components to zero
• The statement
int list[10] = {8, 5, 12};
declares list to be an array of 10 components, initializes
list[0] to 8, list[1] to 5, list[2] to 12 and all
other components are initialized to 0
125

Partial Initialization (continued)
• The statement
int list[] = {5, 6, 3};
declares list to be an array of 3 components and
initializes list[0] to 5, list[1] to 6, and list[2] to 3
• The statement
int list[25]= {4, 7};
declares list to be an array of 25 components
• The first two components are initialized to 4 and 7 respectively
• All other components are initialized to 0
126

Restrictions on Array Processing
Assignment does not work with arrays
In order to copy one array into another array we must
copy component-wise
127

Restrictions on Array Processing (continued)
128

Arrays as Parameters to Functions
• Arrays are passed by reference only
• The symbol & is not used when declaring an array
as a formal parameter
• The size of the array is usually omitted
129

Arrays as Parameters to Functions (continued)
• If the size of one-dimensional array is specified
when it is declared as a formal parameter
• It is ignored by the compiler
• The reserved word const in the declaration of
the formal parameter can prevent the function
from changing the actual parameter
130

131

132

133

134

Base Address of an Array
• The base address of an array is the address, or
memory location of the first array component
• If list is a one-dimensional array
• base address of list is the address of the component
list[0]
• When we pass an array as a parameter
• base address of the actual array is passed to the formal
parameter
• Functions cannot return a value of the type array
135

Parallel Arrays
• Two (or more) arrays are called parallel if their corresponding
components hold related information
• For example:
int studentId[50];
char courseGrade[50];
136

Two-Dimensional Arrays
• Two-dimensional Array: a collection of a fixed
number of components arranged in two dimensions
• All components are of the same type
• The syntax for declaring a two-dimensional array is:
dataType arrayName[intexp1][intexp2];
where intexp1 and intexp2 are expressions yielding
positive integer values
137

Two-Dimensional Arrays (continued)
• The two expressions intexp1 and intexp2
specify the number of rows and the number of
columns, respectively, in the array
• Two-dimensional arrays are sometimes called
matrices or tables
138

139

Accessing Array Components
• The syntax to access a component of a two-dimensional array is:
arrayName[indexexp1][indexexp2]
where indexexp1 and indexexp2 are expressions yielding
nonnegative integer values
• indexexp1 specifies the row position and indexexp2 specifies
the column position
140

141

Initialization
• Like one-dimensional arrays
• Two-dimensional arrays can be initialized when they
are declared
• To initialize a two-dimensional array when it is
declared
1. Elements of each row are enclosed within braces and
separated by commas
2. All rows are enclosed within braces
3. For number arrays, if all components of a row are not
specified, the unspecified components are initialized
to zero
142

Processing Two-Dimensional Arrays
• A two-dimensional array can be processed in
three different ways:
1. Process the entire array
2. Process a particular row of the array, called row
processing
3. Process a particular column of the array, called
column processing
143

Processing Two-Dimensional Arrays
(continued)
• Each row and each column of a two-dimensional
array is a one-dimensional array
• When processing a particular row or column of a
two-dimensional array
• we use algorithms similar to processing one-
dimensional arrays
144

145

146

147

148

149

Passing Two-Dimensional Arrays as
Parameters to Functions
• Two-dimensional arrays can be passed as parameters to a function
• By default, arrays are passed by reference
• The base address, which is the address of the first component of the
actual parameter, is passed to the formal parameter
150

Two-Dimensional Arrays
• Two-dimensional arrays are stored in row order
• The first row is stored first, followed by the second row,
followed by the third row and so on
• When declaring a two-dimensional array as a
formal parameter
• can omit size of first dimension, but not the second
• Number of columns must be specified
151

Multidimensional Arrays
• Multidimensional Array: collection of a fixed number
of elements (called components) arranged in n
dimensions (n >= 1)
• Also called an n-dimensional array
• General syntax of declaring an n-dimensional array is:
dataType arrayName[intExp1][intExp2]...[intExpn];
where intExp1, intExp2, … are constant
expressions yielding positive integer values
152

Multidimensional Arrays (continued)
• The syntax for accessing a component of an n-
dimensional array is:
arrayName[indexExp1][indexExp2]...[indexExpn]
where indexExp1,indexExp2,..., and indexExpn
are expressions yielding nonnegative integer values
• indexExpi gives the position of the array
component in the ith dimension
153

Multidimensional Arrays (continued)
• When declaring a multi-dimensional array as a formal
parameter in a function
• can omit size of first dimension but not other dimensions
• As parameters, multi-dimensional arrays are passed
by reference only
• A function cannot return a value of the type array
• There is no check if the array indices are within
bounds
154

Summary
• An array is a structured data type with a fixed
number of components
• Every component is of the same type
• Components are accessed using their relative positions in
the array
• Elements of a one-dimensional array are arranged in
the form of a list
• An array index can be any expression that evaluates
to a non-negative integer
• The value of the index must always be less than the
size of the array
155

Summary (continued)
• The base address of an array is the address of the
first array component
• In a function call statement, when passing an array
as an actual parameter, you use only its name
• As parameters to functions, arrays are passed by
reference only
• A function cannot return a value of the type array
• In C++, C-strings are null terminated and are stored
in character arrays
156

Summary (continued)
• Commonly used C-string manipulation functions
include: strcpy, strcmp, and strlen
• Parallel arrays are used to hold related information
• In a two-dimensional array, the elements are
arranged in a table form
157

Summary (continued)
• To access an element of a two-dimensional array,
you need a pair of indices: one for the row position
and one for the column position
• In row processing, a two-dimensional array is
processed one row at a time
• In column processing, a two-dimensional array is
processed one column at a time
158

C++ Strings
C++ provides following two types of string representations −
• The C-style character string.
• The string class type introduced with Standard C++.

The C-Style Character String
• The C-style character string originated within the C language and
continues to be supported within C++. This string is actually a one-
dimensional array of characters which is terminated by
a null character '0'. Thus a null-terminated string contains the
characters that comprise the string followed by a null.

• The following declaration and initialization create a string consisting
of the word "Hello". To hold the null character at the end of the array,
the size of the character array containing the string is one more than
the number of characters in the word "Hello.“
If you follow the rule of array initialization, then you can write the
above statement as follows −
Char greetings[] = “Hello”;
char greeting[6] = {'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '0'};

Following is the memory presentation of above defined string in C/C++ −
Actually, you do not place the null character at the end of a string constant.
The C++ compiler automatically places the '0' at the end of the string when it initializes the array.
Let us try to print above-mentioned string −

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main ()
{
char greeting[6] = {'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '0’};
cout << "Greeting message: ";
cout << greeting << endl; return 0;
}
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result −
Greeting message: Hello

Sr.No Function & Purpose
1 strcpy(s1, s2);
Copies string s2 into string s1.
2 strcat(s1, s2);
Concatenates string s2 onto the end of string s1.
3 strlen(s1);
Returns the length of string s1.
4 strcmp(s1, s2);
Returns 0 if s1 and s2 are the same; less than 0 if s1<s2; greater
than 0 if s1>s2.
5 strchr(s1, ch);
Returns a pointer to the first occurrence of character ch in string s1.
6 strstr(s1, s2);
Returns a pointer to the first occurrence of string s2 in string s1.
C++ supports a wide range of functions that manipulate null-terminated strings −

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
int main ()
{
char str1[10] = "Hello";
char str2[10] = "World";
char str3[10];
int len ; // copy str1 into str3
strcpy( str3, str1);
cout << "strcpy( str3, str1) : " << str3 << endl; // concatenates str1 and str2
strcat( str1, str2);
cout << "strcat( str1, str2): " << str1 << endl; // total lenghth of str1 after concatenation
len = strlen(str1);
cout << "strlen(str1) : " << len << endl; return 0;
}

Output
strcpy( str3, str1) : Hello
strcat( str1, str2): HelloWorld
strlen(str1) : 10

The String Class in C++
• The standard C++ library provides a string class type that supports all
the operations mentioned above, additionally much more
functionality. Let us check the following example −

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main ()
{ string str1 = "Hello";
string str2 = "World";
string str3; int len ; // copy str1 into str3 str3 = str1;
cout << "str3 : " << str3 << endl; // concatenates str1 and str2
str3 = str1 + str2;
cout << "str1 + str2 : " << str3 << endl; // total length of str3 after concatenation
len = str3.size();
cout << "str3.size() : " << len << endl; return 0;
}

Output
str3 : Hello
str1 + str2 : HelloWorld
str3.size() : 10

String Comparison
• C-strings are compared character by character
using the collating sequence of the system
• If we are using the ASCII character set
1. The string "Air" is smaller than the string "Boat"
2. The string "Air" is smaller than the string "An"
3. The string "Bill" is smaller than the string
"Billy"
4. The string "Hello" is smaller than "hello"
170

Strings are used for storing text.
A string variable contains a collection of characters surrounded by double quotes:

Reading and Writing Strings
• String Input
• Aggregate operations are allowed for string input
• cin >> name; stores the next input string in name
• Strings that contain blanks cannot be read using the
extraction operator >>
172

Reading and Writing Strings (continued)
• String Output
• The statement cout << name; outputs the content of name on the screen
• The insertion operator << continues to write the contents of name until it
finds the null character
• If name does not contain the null character, then we will see strange output:
<< continues to output data from memory adjacent to name until '0' is
found
173

Approximate Terminology
• instance = object
• field = instance variable
• method = function
• sending a message to an object =calling a function

C++ Pointers

• The pointer in C++ language is a variable, it is also known as locator or
indicator that points to an address of a value.
• The symbol of an address is represented by a pointer. In addition to creating and
modifying dynamic data structures, they allow programs to emulate call-by-
reference. One of the principal applications of pointers is iterating through the
components of arrays or other data structures. The pointer variable that refers to
the same data type as the variable you're dealing with has the address of that
variable set to it (such as an int or string).
Syntax
datatype *var_name;
int *ptr; // ptr can point to an address which holds int data

How to use a pointer?
• Establish a pointer variable.
• employing the unary operator (&), which yields the address of the variable, to
assign a pointer to a variable's address.
• Using the unary operator (*), which gives the variable's value at the address
provided by its argument, one can access the value stored in an address.

Pointer

Advantage of pointer
1)Pointer reduces the code and improves the performance, it is used to
retrieving strings, trees etc. and used with arrays, structures and functions.
2) We can return multiple values from function using pointer.
3) It makes you able to access any memory location in the computer's
memory.

Symbols used in pointer
Symbol Name Description
& (ampersand sign) Address operator Determine the address
of a variable.
∗ (asterisk sign) Indirection operator Access the value of an
address.

Declaring a pointer
• int ∗ a; //pointer to int
• char ∗ c; //pointer to char

Pointer Example
Let's see the simple example of using pointers
printing the address and value.
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
int number=30;
int ∗ p;
p=&number;//stores the address of number variable
cout<<"Address of number variable is:"<<&number<<endl;
cout<<"Address of p variable is:"<<p<<endl;
cout<<"Value of p variable is:"<<*p<<endl;
return 0;
} Object Oriented Programming using C++ - Preetha V AP/CSE

Output:
Address of number variable is:0x7ffccc8724c4
Address of p variable is:0x7ffccc8724c4
Value of p variable is:30

Pointer Program to swap 2 numbers without using
3rd variable
#include <iostream>
int main()
{
int a=20,b=10,∗p1=&a,∗p2=&b;
cout<<"Before swap: ∗p1="<<∗p1<<" ∗p2="<<∗p2<<endl;
∗p1=∗p1+∗p2;
∗p2=∗p1-∗p2;
∗p1=∗p1-∗p2;
cout<<"After swap: ∗p1="<<∗p1<<" ∗p2="<<∗p2<<endl;
return 0;
} Object Oriented Programming using C++ - Preetha V AP/CSE

Output:
Before swap: ∗p1=20 ∗p2=10
After swap: ∗p1=10 ∗p2=20

What are Pointer and string literals?
• String literals are arrays of character sequences with null ends. The
elements of a string literal are arrays of type const char (because
characters in a string cannot be modified) plus a terminating null-
character.

What is a void pointer?
• This unique type of pointer, which is available in C++, stands in for the
lack of a kind. Pointers that point to a value that has no type are
known as void pointers (and thus also an undetermined length and
undetermined dereferencing properties). This indicates that void
pointers are very flexible because they can point to any data type.
This flexibility has benefits. Direct dereference is not possible with
these pointers. Before they may be dereferenced, they must be
converted into another pointer type that points to a specific data
type.

What is a invalid pointer?
• A pointer must point to a valid address, not necessarily to useful
items (like for arrays). We refer to these as incorrect pointers.
Additionally, incorrect pointers are uninitialized pointers.
• int *ptr1;
• int arr[10];
• int *ptr2 = arr+20;
• Here, ptr1 is not initialized, making it invalid, and ptr2 is outside of
the bounds of arr, making it likewise weak. (Take note that not all
build failures are caused by faulty references.)

What is a null pointer?
• A null pointer is not merely an incorrect address; it also points
nowhere. Here are two ways to mark a pointer as NULL:

What is a pointer to a pointer?
In C++, we have the ability to build a pointer to another pointer, which might
then point to data or another pointer. The unary operator (*) is all that is
needed in the syntax for declaring the pointer for each level of indirection.
char a;
char *b;
char ** c;
a = 'g';
b = &a;
c = &b;
Here b points to a char that stores 'g', and c points to the pointer b.

What are references and pointers?
Call-By-Value
Call-By-Reference with a Pointer Argument
Call-By-Reference with a Reference Argument

Example
#include
// Pass-by-Value
int square1(int n)
{cout << "address of n1 in square1(): " << &n << "n";
n *= n;
return n;
}
// Pass-by-Reference with Pointer Arguments
void square2(int* n)
{
cout << "address of n2 in square2(): " << n << "n";
*n *= *n;
}

// Pass-by-Reference with Reference Arguments
void square3(int& n)
{
cout << "address of n3 in square3(): " << &n << "n";
n *= n;
}

void example()
{
// Call-by-Value
int n1 = 8;
cout << "address of n1 in main(): " << &n1 << "n";
cout << "Square of n1: " << square1(n1) << "n";
cout << "No change in n1: " << n1 << "n";
// Call-by-Reference with Pointer Arguments
int n2 = 8;
square2(&n2);
cout << "Square of n2: " << n2 << "n";
cout << "Change reflected in n2: " << n2 << "n";

// Call-by-Reference with Reference Arguments
int n3 = 8;
square3(n3);
cout << "Square of n3: " << n3 << "n";
cout << "Change reflected in n3: " << n3 << "n";
}
// Driver program
int main() { example(); }

UNIT 2 - Classes and Objects
Classes and Objects - Class specification: Class Members, Access
Specifier, Scope resolution operator- Class Instantiation - Accessing
class members- Passing and returning objects - Array of objects –
Constructors: Parameterized constructors - Default arguments – Copy
Constructor - Constructor overloading, Destructors - new, delete
operators - “this” pointer - Friend classes and friend functions.

What is Class?
• The mechanism that allows you to combine data and the
function in a single unit is called a class.
• Once a class is defined, you can declare variables of that type.
• A class variable is called object or instance. In other words, a
class would be the data type, and an object would be the
variable.
• Classes are generally declared using the keyword class.

What is Class?
• A class is the collection of related data and function under a
single name.
• A C++ program can have any number of classes.
• When related data and functions are kept under a class, it helps
to visualize the complex problem efficiently and effectively.
• A class is a definition of an object. It's a type just like int .
• A class resembles a struct with just one difference : all struct
members are public by default.
• All classes members are private.

What is Class?
• A class is a user defined type or data structure declared with
keyword class that has data and functions (also called
methods) as its members whose access is governed by the
three access specifiers private, protected or public (by default
access to members of a class is private).
• A class (declared with keyword class) in C++ differs from a
structure (declared with keyword struct) as by default,
members are private in a class while they are public in a
structure.

Defining Class
class class_name
{
Data Members;
Methods;
};
OR
class class_name
{
private: members1;
protected: members2;
public: members3;
};

Defining Class
• private members of a class are accessible only from within
other members of the same class. You cannot access it
outside of the class.
• protected members are accessible from members of their
same class and also from members of their derived classes.
protected members are accessible from other members of the
same class (or from their "friends"), but also from members of
their derived classes.

Defining Class
• public members are accessible from anywhere where the
object is visible.
By default, all members of a class declared with the class
keyword have private access for all its members. Therefore, any
member that is declared before one other class specifies
automatically has private access.

Defining Member Function of Class
Member functions can be defined in two ways,
1. Inside the class
2. Outside the class

Object Declaration
• Once a class is defined, you can declare objects of that type.
The syntax for declaring a object is the same as that for
declaring any other variable.
• The following statements declare two objects of type circle:
Circle c1, c2;
Circle is class and c1 and c2 are the objects.
• Once the class is defined you can define any number of
objects.

Object Declaration
Accessing Class Members
Once an object of a class is declared, it can
access the public members of the class using ( . )
dot membership operator.
c1.setRadius(2.5);

Access modifiers
• Access modifiers (or access specifiers)
are keywords in object-oriented languages that set the
accessibility of classes, methods, and other members.
• Access modifiers are a specific part of programming language
syntax used to facilitate the encapsulation of components

Access modifiers
• C++ uses the three modifiers called public, protected,
and private.
• Java has public, package, protected, and private.

Local Classes in C++
A class declared inside a function becomes local to that function and is
called Local Class in C++.
For example, in the following program, Test is a local class in fun().
void fun()
{
class Test // local to fun
{
Int mark1;
Int mark3;
/* members of Test class */
}; Object Oriented Programming using C++ - Preetha V AP/CSE 209

Global Classes in C++
A class declared outside the body of all the function in a program is called Global Class in C++.
For example
class Sample // class name
{
int x; //member variables or data members
public:
void readx() // function name or member function declaration
{
cin>>x;
}
};
void main()
{
Sample s1;
s1.readx();
}

Local and Global Objects in C++
class Sample
{
int x;
public: void readx()
{
cin>>x;
}
};
Sample s1; // Global Object
void main()
{
Sample s2; // Local Object
s1.readx();
}

“this” Pointer
• “this” Pointer
• Every object in C++ has access to its own address through an
important pointer called this pointer. The this pointer is an implicit
parameter to all member functions. Therefore, inside a member
function, this may be used to refer to the invoking object.
• Friend functions do not have a this pointer, because friends are not
members of a class. Only member functions have a this pointer.

Let us try the following example to understand the
concept of this pointer:
#include <iostream>
class Box
{
public:
// Constructor definition
Box(double l=2.0, double b=2.0, double h=2.0)
{
cout <<"Constructor called." << endl;
length = l;
breadth = b;

height = h;
}
double Volume()
{
return length * breadth * height;
}
int compare(Box box)
{
return this->Volume() > box.Volume();
}
private:
double length;
double breadth;
double height;
// Length of a box
// Breadth of a box
// Height of a box
};

int main(void)
{
Box Box1(3.3, 1.2, 1.5); // Declare box1
if(Box1.compare(Box2))
{
cout << "Box2 is smaller than Box1" <<endl;
}
else
{
cout << "Box2 is equal to or larger than Box1" <<endl;
}
return 0;
}
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:
Constructor called.
Constructor called.
Box2 is equal to or larger than Box1 Object Oriented Programming using C++ - Preetha V AP/CSE 215

CONSTRUCTOR
• A class constructor is a special member function of a class that is
executed whenever we create new objects of that class
• A constructor will have exact same name as the class and it does not
have any return type at all, not even void. Constructors can be very
useful for setting initial values for certain member variables.
• Types of Constructor
Default Constructor
Overloaded Constructor
Parameterized Constructor
Copy Constructor

Scope resolution operator
• Member functions can be defined within the class definition or
separately using scope resolution operator ::
• Defining a member function within the class definition declares the
function inline, even if you do not use the inline specifier.
• So either you can defineVolume() function as below:

class Box
{
public:
double length; // Length of a box
double breadth; // Breadth of a box
double height; // Height of a box
double getVolume(void)
{
}
};
If you like, you can define the same function outside the class using the scope resolution operator (::)
as follows:
Syntax: datatype class name::function name()

Example:
double Box::getVolume(void)
{
}
• Here, only important point is that you would have to use class name just before
operator.
• A member function will be called using a dot operator (.) on a object where it will
manipulate data related to that object only as follows:
Box myBox; // Create an object
myBox.getVolume(); // Call member function for the object

Let us put above concepts to set and get the value of different class members in a class:
#include <iostream>
class Box
{
public:
//Member functions declaration
double getVolume(void);
void setLength( double len );
void setBreadth( double bre );
void setHeight( double hei );
};

//Member functions definitions double Box::getVolume(void)
{
}
void Box::setLength( double len )
{
length = len;
}
void Box::setBreadth( double bre )
{
breadth = bre;
}
void Box::setHeight( double hei )
{
height = hei;
}

// Main function for the program
int main( )
{
Box Box1; // Declare Box1 of type Box
Box Box2; // Declare Box2 of type Box
double volume = 0.0; // Store the volume of a box here
// box 1 specification
Box1.setLength(6.0);
Box1.setBreadth(7.0);
Box1.setHeight(5.0);
// box 2 specification
Box2.setLength(12.0);
Box2.setBreadth(13.0);
Box2.setHeight(10.0);
// volume of box 1
volume = Box1.getVolume();
cout << "Volume of Box1 : " << volume <<endl;

// volume of box 2
volume = Box2.getVolume();
cout << "Volume of Box2 : " << volume<<endl; return 0;
}
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces the following result:
Volume of Box1 : 210
Volume of Box2 : 1560

Need for constructor
• Constructor is special member functions.
• It is a function used to initialize the object itself.
• The data within the class cannot be initialized at that time of declaration
in class.
• Constructor has the same name as the name of the class.
• This is because the declaration of a class serves only as a template, and
no memory is allocated at the time of declaration.
• This problem can be solved by writing an initializing function – a
constructor.
• Constructor is a basically a function used to initialize variables, to allocate
memory and soon.
• This function will be automatically called as soon as an object is created.
There is no need to call the function to initialize the variables.

Constructor Declaration
Class Class_name
{
Private:
Public:
Class_name (); // constructor // student();
~Class_name (); //destructor //~ student();
};

How constructors are different from a normal
member function?
• A constructor is different from normal functions in following ways:
• Constructor has same name as the class itself
• Constructors don’t have return type
• A constructor is automatically called when an object is created.
• If we do not specify a constructor, C++ compiler generates a default
constructor for us (expects no parameters and has an empty body).

Default Constructors: Default constructor is the constructor which doesn’t take
any argument. It has no parameters.
#include <iostream>
class construct
{
public:
int a, b;
construct() // Default Constructor
{
a = 10;
b = 20;
}
};
int main()
{
// Default constructor called automatically
// when the object is created
construct c;
cout << "a: "<< c.a << endl << "b: "<< c.b;
return 1;
}
Output:
a: 10
b: 20

Parameterized Constructors: It is possible to pass arguments to constructors. Typically, these
arguments help initialize an object when it is created. To create a parameterized constructor, simply
add parameters to it the way you would to any other function. When you define the constructor’s
body, use the parameters to initialize the object.
int main()
{
// Constructor called
Point p1(10, 15);
// Access values assigned by constructor
cout << "p1.x = " << p1.getX() << ", p1.y = " << p1.getY();
return 0;
}
Output:
p1.x = 10, p1.y = 15
#include<iostream>
class Point
{
private:
int x, y;
public:
Point(int x1, int y1) // Parameterized Constructor
{ x = x1; x=10
y = y1; y=15
}
int getX()
{
return x;
}
int getY()
{
return y;
}
};

Copy Constructor: A copy constructor is a member function which initializes an object using another object
of the same class. A copy constructor has the following general function prototype:
ClassName (const ClassName &old_obj);
#include<iostream>
class Point
{
private:
int x, y;
public:
Point(int x1, int y1)
{
x = x1;
y = y1;
}
Point(const Point &p2)
{x = p2.x;
y = p2.y;
} // Copy constructor
int getX() { return x; }
int main()
{
Point p1(10, 15); // Normal constructor is called here
Point p2 = p1; // Copy constructor is called here
// Let us access values assigned by constructors
cout << "p1.x = " << p1.getX() << ", p1.y = " << p1.getY();
cout << "np2.x = " << p2.getX() << ", p2.y = " << p2.getY();
return 0;
}
Output:
p1.x = 10, p1.y = 15
p2.x = 10, p2.y = 15

#include<iostream>
class Point
{
private:
int x, y;
public:
Point(int x1, int y1)
{
x = x1;
y = y1;
}
Point(const Point &p2)
{
x = p2.x;
y = p2.y;
} // Copy constructor
int getX()
{
return x;
}
int getY()
{
return y;
}
}; Object Oriented Programming using C++ - Preetha V AP/CSE 230

Copy Constructor
#include<iostream>
class Sample
{
private:
int x, y; //data members
public:
Sample(int x1, int y1)
{
x = x1;
y = y1;
}
/* Copy constructor */
Sample (const Sample &sam)
{
x = sam.x;
y = sam.y;
}
void display()
{
cout<<x<<" "<<y<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
Sample obj1(10, 15); // Normal const
Sample obj2 = obj1; // Copy constructor
cout<<"Normal constructor : ";
obj1.display();
cout<<"Copy constructor : ";
obj2.display();
return 0;
}
Output: Normal constructor : 10 15
Copy constructor : 10 15

Constructor Overloading in C++
• In C++, We can have more than one constructor in a class with same name,
as long as each has a different list of arguments.
• This concept is known as Constructor Overloading and is quite similar
to function overloading.
• Overloaded constructors essentially have the same name (name of the class)
and different number of arguments.
• A constructor is called depending upon the number and type of arguments
passed.
• While creating the object, arguments must be passed to let compiler know,
which constructor needs to be called.

Parameterized Constructor:
#include <iostream>
class Line
{
public:
void setLength( double len );
double getLength( void );
Line(double len);
// This is the constructor
private: double length;
};
// Member functions definitions including constructor
Line::Line( double len)
{
cout << "Object is being created, length = " << len
<< endl;
length = len;
}
void Line::setLength( double len )
{ length = len;}
double Line::getLength( void )
{ return length;}
// Main function for the program
int main( )
{ Line line(10.0);
// get initially set length.
cout << "Length of line : " <<
line.getLength() <<endl;
// set line length again line.setLength(6.0);
cout << "Length of line : " <<
line.getLength() <<endl;
return 0;
}
OUTPUT:
Object is being created, length = 10
Length of line : 10
Length of line : 6

Destructors in C++
• What is destructor?
Destructor is a member function which destructs or deletes an object.
• When is destructor called?
A destructor is automatically called when:
1) The program finished execution.
2) When a scope (the { } parenthesis) containing local variable ends.
3) When you call the delete operator.
• How destructors are different from a normal member function?
Destructors have same name as the class preceded by a tilde (~)
Destructors don’t take any argument and don’t return anything.

Destructors:
• Destructor is a member function which destructs or deletes an object.
• Destructor called?
A destructor function is called automatically when the object goes out
of scope:
(1) the function ends
(2) the program ends
(3) a block containing local variables ends
(4) a delete operator is called

Destructors - new, delete operators
How destructors are different from a normal member function?
Destructors have same name as the class preceded by a tilde (~)
Destructors don’t take any argument and don’t return anything

class String
{
private:
char *s;
int size;
public:
String(char *); // constructor
~String(); // destructor
};
String::String(char *c)
{
size = strlen(c);
s = new char[size+1];
strcpy(s,c);
}
String::~String()
{
delete []s;
}

STATIC MEMBER
• In normal situations when we instantiate objects of a class each object gets its own copy of all
normal member variables.
• When we declare a member of a class as static it means no matter how many objects of the class
are created, there is only one copy of the static member.
• This means one single copy of that data member is shared between all objects of that class.
• All static data is initialized to zero when the first object is created, if no other initialization is
present.
• Static data members can be initialized outside the class using the scope resolution operator (::) to
identify which class it belongs to.
• Since Static data members are class level variables, we do not require the object to access these
variables and they can be accessed simply by using the class name and scope resolution(::)
operator with the variable name to access its value.
• Also a static data member cannot be private.
• A very common use of static data members is to keep a count of total objects of a particular class
(program counter kind of application)

STATIC MEMBER

STATIC MEMBER
• Static Data member has the following properties:
• It is initialized by zero when first object of class is created.
• Only one copy of static data member is created for the entire class and all object share the same copy.
• Its scope is within class but its lifetime is entire program.
• They are used to store the value that are common for all the objects.
• Static variable can be declared using the following syntax:
static data-type variable-name;
• The above syntax only declare the static variable. We can initialize static variable by using following
syntax:
data-type class-name :: variable-name = initial-value ;
• Along with the definition we can also initialize the static variable.
• If static data members (variables) are declared under the public section than it can be accessed from outside
the class and if it is declared in private section than it can only be accessed within the class itself.
• Static variables are also known as class variables because they are not the variables of any particular class.

Static Member Function
• By declaring a function member as static, you make it independent of any
particular object of the class. A static member function can be called even if no
objects of the class exist and the static functions are accessed using only the class
name and the scope resolution operator ::
• A static member function can only access static data member, other static member
functions and any other functions from outside the class.
• Static member functions have a class scope and they do not have access to the this
pointer of the class. You could use a static member function to determine whether
some objects of the class have been created or not.

Static Member Function
• Static member function has following properties:
• A static function can be access only by other static data member (variables) and
function declared in the class.
• A static function is called using class name instead of object name.

private:
};
// Initialize static member of class Box
int Box::objectCount = 0;
int main(void)
{
// Print total number of objects.
cout << "Total objects: " << Box::objectCount <<
endl;
return 0;
}
OUTPUT:
Constructor called.
Constructor called.
Total objects: 2
243
#include <iostream>
class Box
{
public:
static int objectCount;
{
cout <<"Constructor called." << endl;
length = l;
breadth = b;
height = h;
// Increase every time object is created
objectCount++;
}
double Volume()
{ return length * breadth * height; }

static int getCount()
{ return objectCount; }
private: double length; // Length of a box
};
// Initialize static member of class
Boxint Box::objectCount = 0;
int main(void)
{
// Print total number of objects before creating object.
cout << "Inital Stage Count: " << Box::getCount() << endl;
// Print total number of objects after creating object.
cout << "Final Stage Count: " << Box::getCount() << endl;
return 0;
}
OUTPUT:
Inital Stage Count: 0
Constructor called.
Constructor called.
Final Stage Count: 2
244
#include <iostream>
class Box
{
public:
static int objectCount;
{ cout <<"Constructor called." << endl;
length = l;
breadth = b;
height = h;
// Increase every time object is created
objectCount++;
}
double Volume()
{ return length * breadth * height; }

• STORAGE CLASSES:
• A storage class defines the scope (visibility) and life-time of variables
and/or functions within a C++ Program. These specifiers precede the type
that they modify. There are following storage classes, which can be used in
a C++ Program
• auto
• register
• static
• extern
245

Array of Objects
• An object of class represents a single record in memory, if we want
more than one record of class type, we have to create an array of
class or object.
• As we know, an array is a collection of similar type, therefore an array
can be a collection of class type.

Syntax of Array of Objects
class class-name
{
datatype var1;
datatype var2;
- - - - - - - - - -
datatype varN;
method1();
method2();
- - - - - - - - - -
methodN();
};
class-name obj[ size ];

void PutData() //Statement 2 : Defining PutData()
{
cout<<"n"<<Id<<"t"<<Name<<"t"<<Age<<"t"<<Salary;
}
};
void main()
{ int i;
Employee E[3]; //Statement 3 : Creating Array of 3
Employees
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
{
cout<<"nEnter details of "<<i+1<<" Employee";
E[i].GetData();
} cout<<"nDetails of Employees";
for(i=0;i<3;i++)
E[i].PutData();
}
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class Employee
{ int Id;
char Name[25];
int Age;
long Salary;
public:
void GetData() //Statement 1 : Defining GetData()
{
cout<<"ntEnter Employee Id : ";
cin>>Id;
cout<<"ntEnter Employee Name : ";
cin>>Name;
cout<<"ntEnter Employee Age : ";
cin>>Age;
cout<<"ntEnter Employee Salary : ";
cin>>Salary;
}

Friend function
• A friend function of a class is defined outside that class scope but it has the
right to access all private and protected members of the class.
• A friend can be a function, function template, or member function, or a
class or class template, in which case the entire class and all of its members
are friends.
• Declaration of friend function in C++
class class_name
{
... .. ...
friend return_type function_name(argument/s);
... .. ...
}
