POO Handout - Lab 4 PDF

This document provides an explanation of constructors and destructors in C++. It presents sample code for a Student class with various constructor and destructor implementations. For each code example, it asks the expected and actual results, as well as reasons for errors. It also asks how many times the destructor would be called at the end of sample programs using the Student class.

C++ Lab 4 Constructors and destructors

Considering the next class:


class Student{
private:
char* name;
char address[50];
unsigned int age;
public:
void print(){
cout<<"Name: "<<this->name<<endl;
cout<<"Adress: "<<this->address<<endl;
cout<<"Age: "<<this->age<<endl;
}
};
Analyze the next lines:

Expected value/error Actual result/error Reason for having an error


Student s1;

s1.print();

Student* s2 = new Student();

s2->print();

If the class is updated to:


class Student{
private:
char* name;
char address[50];
unsigned int age;
public:
Student(unsigned int v_age){
this->age=v_age;
}
void print(){
cout<<"Name: "<<this->name<<endl;
cout<<"Adress: "<<this->address<<endl;
cout<<"Age: "<<this->age<<endl;
}
};
