CHAPTER 1
Thinking Object Oriented
Procedural Oriented Programming:

Conventional Programming, using high level languages such as COBOL (Common
Business Oriented Language), FORTAN (Formula Translation) and C, is commonly known
as procedural oriented programming (POP). In procedure-oriented approach, the problem is
views as a sequence of things to be done such as reading, calculating and printing. POP basically
consists of writing a list of instructions (or actions) for the computer to follow, and organizing
these instructions into groups known as function. A typical program structure for procedural
programming is shown in the figure below. The technique of hierarchical decomposition has
been used to specify the task to be completed for solving a problem.
In a multi-function program, many important data items are placed as globally. So that
they may be accessed by all the functions. Each function may have its own local data. The
figure shown below shows the relationship of data and function in a procedure-oriented
program.
Compiled By: Pradip Paudel Page:1

Relationship of data and functions in procedural programming
Some features/characteristics of procedure-oriented programming are:
 Emphasis is on doing things (Algorithms).

 Large programs are divided into smaller programs called as functions.
 Most of the functions share global data.
 Data move openly around the system from function to function.
 Functions transform data from one form to another.
 Employs top-down approach in program design.
Limitations of Procedural Oriented Programming
 Procedural languages are difficult to relate with the real world objects.
 Procedural codes are very difficult to maintain, if the code grows larger.
 Procedural languages does not have automatic memory management .Hence, it makes
the programmer to concern more about the memory management of the program.
 The data, which is used in procedural languages are exposed to the whole program. So,
there is no security for the data.
 Creation of new data type is difficult. Different data types like complex numbers and
two dimensional co-ordinates cannot be easily represented by POP.

Object oriented programming Paradigm
OOP allows decomposition of a problem into a number of entities called

objects and then builds data and functions around these objects. The organization of data and
functions in the object-oriented programs shown in the figure:
The data of an object can be accessed only by the function associated with that object.
The fundamental idea behind object-oriented programming is to combine or
encapsulate both data (or instance variables) and functions (or methods) that operate
on that data into a single unit. This unit is called an object. The data is hidden, so it is
safe from accidental alteration. An object’s functions typically provide the only way
to access its data. In order to access the data in an object, we should know exactly
what functions interact with it. No other functions can access the data. Hence OOP
focuses on data portion rather than the process of solving the problem.
An object-oriented program typically consists of a number of objects, which

communicate with each other by calling one another’s functions. This is called
sending a message to the object. This kind of relation is provided with the help of
communication between two objects and this communication is done through
information called message. In addition, object-oriented programming supports
encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, and polymorphism to write programs
efficiently. Examples of object-oriented languages include Simula, Smalltalk, C++,
Python, C#, Visual Basic .NET and Java etc.

Features of Object oriented programming
Some features of object oriented programming are:
• Emphasis is on data rather than procedure.
• Programs are divided into what are called objects.
• Data structures are designed such that they characterize the objects.
• Functions that operate on the data of an object are tied together in the data structure.
• Data is hidden and cannot be accessed be external functions.
• Objects may communicate with each other through functions.
• New data and functions can be easily added whenever necessary.
• Follows bottom-up approach in program design.
Advantages of Object-oriented Programming
 It is easy to model a real system as programming objects in OOP represents real objects.
The objects are processed by their member data and functions. It is easy to analyze the
user requirements.
 Elimination of redundant code due to inheritance, that is, we can use the same
code in a base class by deriving a new class from it.
 Modularize the programs. Modular programs are easy to develop and can be
distributed independently among different programmers.
 In OOP, data can be made private to a class such that only member functions of the
class can access the data. This principle of data hiding helps the programmer to build a
secure program that cannot be invaded by code in other part of the program.
 With the help of polymorphism, the same function or same operator can be used for
different purposes. This helps to manage software complexity easily.
 Large problems can be reduced to smaller and more manageable problems. It is easy to
partition the work in a project based on objects.
 Program complexity is low due to distinction of individual objects and their
related data and functions.
Disadvantages of Object Oriented Programming
 Sometimes, the relation among the classes become artificial in nature.

 Designing a program in OOP concept is a little bit tricky.
 The programmer should have a proper planning before designing a program using OOP
approach.
 Since everything is treated as objects in OOP, the programmers need proper skill such as
design skills, programming skills, thinking in terms of objects etc.
 The size of programs developed with OOP is larger than the procedural approach.
 Since larger in size, that means more instruction to be executed, which results in the
slower execution of programs.

A way of viewing the world
Describe how object oriented programming models the real world problem with reference of
agents, method, behavior and responsibilities. [PU: 2017 fall]
To illustrate the major idea of object oriented programming, Let us consider the real world
scenario.
Suppose an individual named Chris wishes to send flowers to a friend named Robin, Who lives
in another city. Because of the distance, Chris cannot simply pick the flowers and take them to
Robin in person. Nevertheless, it is a task that is easily solved.
Chris simply walks to a nearby flower shop, run by a florist named Fred. Chris will tell Fred the
kinds of flowers to send to Robin and the address to which they should be delivered .Chris can
then can be assured that the flowers can be delivered expediently and automatically.
In above example,
 Fred is a agent (objects) to deliver flower.

 Message of wishes with specification of flowers is passed to florist (named Fred) who
has responsibility to satisfy request.
 Fred uses some method or algorithm or set of operations to do this.
 There will community of agents to complete a task. Communication is established to all
the concern mediators in a channel to deliver the flowers.
 How the florist satisfies the request is not Chris concern (data hiding/information
hiding).
Agents and Communities

In above example Chris solved his problem with help of agent (object) Fred to deliver the
flower. There will be community of agents to complete a task. In above example Fred will
communicate with Robin’s florist.
An object oriented program is structured as a community of interacting agents called
objects.
Each object has a role to play. Each object provides a service, or performs an action that is
used by other members of community.

Messages and methods
Chris request Fred for delivering flower to his friend Robin. This request lead to other
requests, which lead to still more requests, until the flowers ultimately reached Chris friend,
Robin. We see therefore a members of this community interact with each other making
requests.
Action is initiated in object-oriented programming by the transmission of a message to an
agent (an object) responsible for the action. The messages encodes the request for an
action and is accompanied by any additional information (arguments) needed to carry out
the request. The receiver is the object to whom the message is sent. If the receiver accepts
the messages, it accepts the responsibility to carry out the indicated action. In response to a
message, the receiver will perform some method to satisfy the request.
Message Versus Procedure calls
In message passing
 There is a designated receiver for that message (the receiver is some object to which
the message is sent).
 Interpretation of the message is dependent on the receiver and can vary with
different receivers.
 There is a late binding between the message (function or procedure name) and the
code fragment (method ) used to respond the message.
In a procedure call
 There is no designated receiver.

 There is early (compile-time or link time ) binding of name to code fragment in
conventional procedure calls.
Responsibilities
A fundamental concept in object oriented programming is to describe behavior in term of
responsibilities. Chris’s Request for action indicates only the desired outcome (flowers send
to Robin) .Fred is free to pursue any technique that achieves the desired objective and in
doing so will not be hampered by interference from Chris.
Class and instances
In above scenario Fred is florist we can use florist to represent the category (or class) of all
florists. Which means Fred is instance (object) of class Florist.
All objects are instances of a class. The method invoked by an object in response to a
message is determined by the class of the receiver. All objects of given class use the same
method in response to similar messages.

Summary of Object-oriented Concepts
Alan Kay, considered by some be the father of object-oriented programming, identified the
following characteristics as fundamental to OOP.
1. Everything is an object.
2. Computation is performed by objects communicating with each other, requesting that
other objects perform actions. Objects communicate by sending and receiving
messages. A message is a request for action bundled with whatever arguments may be
necessary to complete the task.
3. Each object has its own memory, which consists of other objects.
4. Every object is an instance of a class. A class simply represents a grouping of similar
objects, such as integers or lists.
5. The class is the repository for behavior associated with an object. That is, all objects that
are instances of the same class can perform the same actions.
6. Classes are organized into a singly rooted tree structure, called the inheritance
hierarchy. Memory and behavior associated with instances of a class are automatically
available to any class associated with a descendant in this tree structure.
Coping with Complexity

At early stages of computing most program were written in assembly language by a single
individual.
As program becomes more complex, programmer found it difficult to remember all the
information needed to know in order to develop or debug their software. such as
 Which values were contained in what registers?

 Did a new identifier name conflict with any previously defined name?
 What variables needed to be initialized before control could be transferred to another
section of code?
The introduction of high level language,such as FORTAN,cobol and Algol solved some
difficulties while simultaneously raising people expectations of what a computer could do.
.

1. Non-linear Behavior of complexity
As programming projects became larger, an interesting phenomenon was observed that:
A task that would take one programmer 2 months to perform could not be accomplished by
two programmers working for 1 month.
“The bearing of a child takes nine months, no matter how many women are assigned to the
task”.(refer to Freed Brook’s book Mythical Man-Month)
This behavior of complexity is called non-linear behavior of complexity.
The reason for this nonlinear behavior
 The interconnections between software components were complicated
 Large amounts of information had to be communicated among various members of the
programming team.
Conventional techniques brings about high degree of interconnectedness.
This means the dependence of one portion of code on another portion (coupling)
So, a complete understanding of what is going on requires a knowledge of both portion of code
we are considering and the code that uses it .An individual section of code cannot be
understood in isolation.
2. Abstraction Mechanism
Abstraction mechanism is use to control complexity.
It is a ability to encapsulate and isolate design and execute information.
Alternatively, Abstraction is a mechanism to displaying only essential information and hiding the
details.
Making use of abstraction
a)Procedure and function:
Procedure and function are main two first abstraction mechanism to be widely used in
programming language. They allowed task that were executed repeatedly to be collected in one
place and reused rather than being duplicated several times. In addition, procedure gave the
first possibility for information hiding.
A set of procedure written by one programmer can be used by many other programmers
without knowing the exact details of implementation. They needed only the necessary
interface.

b)Block Scoping:
Nesting of function (one function inside another) to solve problem associated with procedure
and function, the idea of block and scoping was introduced which permits functions to be
nested.
This is also not truly the solution. If a data area is shared by two or more procedure, it must still
be declared in more general scope than procedure. For example:
int sum()
{
int a,b;
……….
………
int mul()
{
….
……
}
}
Partially solved the abstraction mechanism
c) Modules:
A module is basically a mechanism that allows the programmers to encapsulate a collection of
procedures and data and supply both import and export statement to control visibility feature
from outside modules.
Parnas principle for creation and use of modules:
•One must provide the intended user with all the information needed to use the module
correctly and nothing more.
•One must provide the implementor with all the information needed to complete the module
and nothing more.
d) Abstract data type(ADT):
 To solve instantiation, the problem of what to do, your application needed more than
one instance of software abstraction. The key to solve this problem is ADT.
 ADT is simply programmer defined data type that can be manipulated in a manner
similar to system provided data types.
 This supported both information hiding as well as creating many instance of new data
type.
But message passing is not possible in ADT.

e) Objects- Messages, Inheritance and Polymorphism:
OOP added new ideas to the concept of ADT.
 Message passing: Activity is initiated by a request to a specific object, not by invoking of

a function.
 Inheritance allows different data types to share the same code, leading to a reduction in
code size and an increase in functionality.
 Polymorphism allows this shared code to be designed to fit the specific circumstances
of individual data types.
Computation As Simulation
 Explain Computation as Simulation?
 In Case of Object oriented Programming, Explain how do we have the view that
computation is simulation?[PU:2013 Spring]
OOP framework is different from the traditional conventional behavior of computer. Traditional
model can be viewed as the computer is a data manager, following some pattern of
instructions, wandering through memory, pulling values out of various memory transforming
them in some manner, and pushing the results back into other memory.
The behavior of a computer executing a program is a process-state or pigeon-hole model. By
examining the values in the slots, one can determine the state of the machine or the results
produced by a computation. This model may be a more or less accurate picture of what takes
place inside a computer. Real word problem solving is difficult in the traditional model.
In Object Oriented Model we speak of objects, messages, and responsibility for some action.
We never mention memory addresses, variables, assignments, or any of the conventional
programming terms. This model is process of creating a host of helpers that forms a community
and assists the programmer in the solution of a problem (Like in flower example).
The view of programming as creating a universe is in many ways similar to a style of
computer simulation called “discrete event-driven simulation”.
In, in a discrete event-driven simulation the user creates computer models of the various
elements of the simulation, describes how they will interact with one another, and sets them
moving. This is almost identical to OOP in which user describes what various entities, object in
program are, how will interact with one another and finally set them moving. Thus in OOP, we
have view that computation is simulation.

Power of metaphor
 When programmer think about problems in terms of behavior and responsibilities of

objects, they bring with them a wealth of intuition, ideas and understanding from their
everyday experience.
 When envisioned as pigeon holes, mailboxes, or slots containing values, there is a little
in the programmers background to provide insight into how should be structured.
Avoiding Infinite Regression
Object cannot always respond to a message by politely asking another object to perform
some action. The result would be an infinite circle of request ,like two gentle man each
politely waiting for the another to go first before entering a doorway. Thus to avoid infinite
regression at a time, at least few objects need to perform some work besides passing
request to another agent.
Varieties of Classes
Based on different forms of responsibility classes can be used for many different purposes and
be categorized as follows:
i) Data Manager (Data or State classes)

 Main responsibility is to maintain data or state information
 For example, in an abstraction of playing card, a major task for the class Card is simply
maintain the data values that describe rank and suit.
 Often recognizable as nouns in problem description and are usually the fundamental
building blocks of design.
ii) Data Sink or Data Sources
 These type of classes generate data, such as random number generator, or that accept
data and then process them further, such as a class performing output to disk or file.
 These types of classes don’t hold data for any period of time, but generates it on
demand (for a data source) or processes it when called upon (for a data sink).
iii) View or Observer classes
 Most of the application is to display of information on an output device such as terminal

screen.
 Because the code performing this activity is often complex, frequently modified and
largely independent of the actual data being displayed, it is good programming practice
to isolate display behavior in classes other than those that maintain the data being
displayed.

iv) Facilitator or Helper Class
 These are classes that maintain little or no state information themselves but assist in
the execution of complex tasks.
 For example, in displaying a playing card image we use the services of facilitator class
that handles the drawings of lines and text on the display device. Another facilitator
class might help maintain linked list of cards.

CHAPTER 2
Classes and Methods
Review of structures
 Structure is the collection of variables of different types under a single name for better
visualization of problem.
 Structure can hold data of one or more types.
Declaring structure
The struct keyword defines a structure type followed by an identifier (name of the structure).
Then inside the curly braces, you can declare one or more members (declare variables inside
curly braces) of that structure. For example:
struct Person
{
char name[50];
int age;
float salary;
};
Here a structure person is defined which has three members: name, age and salary.
Defining structure variable
Once you declare a structure person as above. You can define a structure variable as:
Person p1;
Here, a structure variable p1 is defined which is of type structure Person.
When structure variable is defined, only then the required memory is allocated by the compiler.
Considering having 16 bit system, the memory of float is 4 bytes, memory of int is 2 bytes and
memory of char is 1 byte. Hence, 56 bytes of memory is allocated for structure variable p1.
How to access members of a structure?
The members of structure variable is accessed using a dot (.) operator.

Suppose, you want to access age of structure variable p1 and assign it 25 to it. You can perform
this task by using following code below:
p1.age = 25;
Compiled by: Pradip Paudel Page: 1

Example: C++ Structure
C++ Program to assign data to members of a structure variable and display it.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
struct Person
{
char name[50];
int age;
float salary;
};
int main()
{
Person p1;
cout << "Enter Full name: ";
cin.get(p1.name, 50);
cout << "Enter age: ";
cin >> p1.age;
cout << "Enter salary: ";
cin >> p1.salary;
cout << "Displaying Information." << endl;
cout << "Name: " << p1.name << endl;
cout <<"Age: " << p1.age << endl;
cout << "Salary: " << p1.salary;
return 0;
}
Output
Enter Full name: Ram karki
Enter age: 24
Enter salary: 25000.35
Displaying Information.
Name: Ram karki
Age: 24
Salary: 25000.35
To read the text containing blank space, cin.get function can be used. This function takes two
arguments.
First argument is the name of the string (address of first element of string) and second
argument is the maximum size of the array.

Specifying a Class
A class serves as a blue print or a plan or a template for an object. It specifies what data and
what functions will be included in objects of that class. Once a class has been defined, we can
create any number of objects belonging to that class. An object is an instance of a class. A class
binds the data and its associated functions together. It allows the data (and function) to be
hidden, if necessary, from external use.
Example:
Class Car Class Computer

Properties
Properties
Brand, Price, Screen
Company, Model
Resolution
Color, Capacity
HDD size, RAM size
Action Action
Speed(), Acceleration(), Processing(), Display(),
Break() Printing()
Declaration of class
Class declaration describes the type and scope of its members. The general form of class
declaration is:
class class_name
{
private:
variable declaration;
function declaration;
public:
variable declaration;
function declaration;
};
Example:
class student
{
private:
char name[20];
int roll;
public:
void getinfo();
void display();
};

 Here, class is C++ keyword; class_name is name of class defined by user.
 The body of class enclosed within braces and terminated by a semicolon.
 The class body contains the declaration of variables and functions. The variables
declared inside the class are known as data members and the functions are known as
member functions.These functions and variables are collectively called as class
members.
 Keyword private and public within class body are known as visibility labels. i.e. they
specify which of the members are private and which of them are public.
 The class members that have been declared as private can be accessed only from within
the class but public members can be accessed from outside of the class also. Using
private declaration, data hiding is possible in C++ such that it will be safe from accidental
manipulation.
 The use of keyword private is optional. By default, all the members are private. Usually,
the data within a class is private and the functions are public.
 C++ provides a third visibility modifier, protected, which is used in inheritance. A
member declared as protected is accessible by the member functions within its class
and any class immediately derived from it.
 The binding of a data and functions together into a single class-type variable is
referred to as encapsulation.
#include<iostream>
class student
{
private:
char name[20];
int roll;
public:
void getinfo()
{
cout<<"Enter name"<<endl;
cin>>name;
cout<<"Enter Rollno"<<endl;
cin>>roll;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"Name:"<<name<<endl;
cout<<"Roll No:"<<roll<<endl;
}
};

int main()
{
student st;
st.getinfo();
st.display();
return 0;
}
Objects:
An Object is an instance of a Class. When a class is defined, no memory is allocated but when it
an object is created memory is allocated. To use the data and access functions defined in the
class, we need to create objects.
Syntax for creating an object is
class_name object_name;
e.g.
Student st; // here Student is assumed to be a class name
The statement student st; creates a variable st of type Student. This variable st is known as
object of the class Student. Thus, class variables are known as objects.
Key differences between a class and its objects
 Once we have defined a class, it exists all the time a program is running whereas objects
may be created and destroyed at runtime.
 For single class there may be any number of objects.
 A class has unique name, attributes, and methods. An object has identity, state, and
behavior.
Accessing the class member
The data member functions of class can be accessed using the dot(.) operator with the object.
For example if the name of object is st and you want to access the member function with the
name getInfo() then you will have to write st.getinfo();
The public data members are also accessed in the same way given however the private data
members are not allowed to be accessed directly by the object. Accessing a data member
depends solely on the access control of that data member. This access control is given
by Access modifiers in C++.

class Student
{
private:
int age;
public:
int rollno;
getInfo();
displayInfo();

Defining Member functions
Member function can be defined in two places:

 Outside the class definition
 Inside the class definition
Defining Member function inside the class Defining Member function Outside the class definition
definition
In this case, a member function is defined at In this technique, only declaration is done within class
the time of its declaration. The function body. The member function that has been declared
declaration is replaced by the function inside a class has to be defined separately outside the
definition inside the class body. class. The syntax for defining the
member function is as
return_type class_name::function_name(argument_list)
{
//function body
}
Here, membership label class-name :: tells the compiler
that the function function_name belongs to the class
class-name. The symbol :: is called scope resolution
operator.

class Item class Item
{ {
private: private:
int number; int number;
float cost; float cost;
public: public:
void getdata() void getdata();
{ void display();
............. };
}
void Item::getdata()
void display()
{
{
................
.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
}
}
}; void Item::display()
{
. . . .. . . . . .
}
#include<iostream> #include<iostream>
using namespace std; using namespace std;
class Item class Item
{ {
private: private:
int number; int number;
float cost; float cost;
public: public:
void getdata() void getdata();
{ void display();
cout<<"Enter the Item number"<<endl; };
cin>>number; void Item::getdata()
cout<<"Enter the cost of item"<<endl; {
cin>>cost; cout<<"Enter the Item number"<<endl;
} cin>>number;
void display() cout<<"Enter the cost of item"<<endl;
{ cin>>cost;
cout<<"Item number="<<number<<endl; }
cout<<"Cost of item="<<cost<<endl; void Item::display()
} {
}; cout<<"Item number="<<number<<endl;
cout<<"Cost of item="<<cost<<endl;
}

int main() int main()
{ {
Item x; Item x;
x.getdata(); x.getdata();
x.display(); x.display();
return 0; return 0;
} }
In this example, the functions getdata() and In this example, getdata() and putdata() functions are
putdata() are defined within body of class member functions of class item. They are
item. declared within class body and they are defined outside
the class body. While defining member
functions, item:: (membership identity label) specifies
that member functions belong to the class
item. Other are similar to normal function definition.
Some characteristics of the member functions
 Several different classes can use the same function name (function overloading). The
membership level will resolve their scope.
 Member functions can access the private data of the class. A non-member function
cannot do so.
 A member function can call another member function directly, without using the dot
operator.
 A private member function cannot be called by other function that is not a member of
its class.
Nesting of member function

A member function can be called by using its name inside another member function of the
same class is known as nesting of member functions.

Example:
#include<iostream>
class Largest
{
private:
int a,b;
public:
void getnumber();
int compare();
void display();
};
void Largest::getnumber()
{
cout<<"Enter two number"<<endl;
cin>>a>>b;
}
int Largest::compare()
{
if (a>b)
return a;
else
return b;
}
void Largest::display()
{
cout<<"Largest number="<<compare();
}
int main()
{
Largest l;
l.getnumber();
l.display();
return 0;
}
Assignment:
Write a program that will demonstrate nested member function. The program that uses the
following properties - class name- Addnumber, integer type private member variable- a, b;
three member function -inputnumber(), int add(), show(). add() function will add the inputted
value a, b like int x=a+b. show() function will call the add() function as a nested function and
will display the addition value y as output.

Accessing private member function
Although it is normal practice to place all the data items in a private sections and all the
functions in public ,some situations may require certain functions to be hidden(like private
data) from outside calls. We can place these functions in the private section.
A private member function can only be called by another function that is member of its class.
Even an object cannot invoke a private function using the dot operator.
Consider the class defined below

class sample
{
private:
int m;
void read(); // private member function
public:
void update();
};
If s1 is an object of sample, then
s1.read(); // Won’t work ;
Object cannot access private members. However, the function read() can be called by the
function update() to update the value of m.
void sample::update()
{
read(); // simple call ;no object used
}
Example
#include<iostream>
class sample
{
private:
int m;
void read();
public:
void update();
void display();
};
void sample::read()
{
cout<<"Enter the value of m"<<endl;
cin>>m;
}

void sample::update()
{
read();
m=m+5;
}
void sample::display()
{
cout<<"value after updation="<<m<<endl;
}
int main()
{
sample s1;
s1.update();
s1.display();
return 0;
}
Assignment
Write a program that will demonstrate private member function. The program that uses the
following properties - class name- sum, integer type private member variable- x, y. One private
member function getnumber(), two public member function - int addition(), display(). addition()
function will call private member function getnumber() for input number x, y and add the
inputted value x, y like int z=x+y. display() function will display the addition value z as output.
Array of object
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 object. As we know, an array is a collection of similar
date type, we can also have arrays of variables of type class. Such variables are called array of
object. First we define a class and then array of objects are declared. An array of objects is
stored inside the memory in the same way as multidimensional array.
#include<iostream>
class Employee
{
char name[25];
int age;
float salary;
public:
void getdata();
void display();
};

void Employee::getdata()
{
cout<<"Enter Employee Name:";
cin>>name;
cout<<"Enter Employee Age :";
cin>>age;
cout<<"Enter Employee Salary:";
cin>>salary;
}
void Employee::display()
{
cout<<"Age:"<<age<<endl;
cout<<"Salary:"<<salary<<endl;
}
int main()
{
int i;
Employee e[10]; //Creating Array of 10 employees
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
cout<<"Enter details of "<<i+1<<" Employee"<<endl;
e[i].getdata();
}
for(i=0;i<10;i++)
{
cout<<"Details of Employee"<<i+1<<endl;
e[i].display();
}
return 0;
}
WAP to define the class in C++ as shown in class diagram.
Student
Name
Roll
Address
Percentage
input()
display()
input():to input initial values
display():to display the record of students who passed
Note:-45% is pass percentage
#include<iostream>

class student
{
private:
char name[20],address[20];
int roll;
float per;
public:
void input()
{
cout<<"Enter the name";
cin>>name;
cout<<"Enter the address";
cin>>address;
cout<<"Enter the roll";
cin>>roll;
cout<<"Enter the percentage";
cin>>per;
}
void display()
{
if(per>=45)
{
cout<<"Name="<<name<<endl;
cout<<"Roll="<<roll<<endl;
cout<<"Address="<<address<<endl;
cout<<"Percentage="<<per<<endl;
}
}
};
int main()
{
int i;
student st[5];
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
cout<<"Enter the information of student"<<i+1<<endl;
st[i].input();
}
for(i=0;i<5;i++)
{
st[i].display();
}
return 0;
}

Object as function arguments
Like any other data type, an object can be used as function argument.
This can be done in two ways:
 A copy of the entire object is passed to the function (pass-by-value)

 Only the address of the object is transferred to the function(pass-by-reference)
Let us illustrate use of objects as function arguments with the help of program which performs
the addition of time in the hour and minute format.
Program to perform addition of time in hours and minutes format by passing object as
argument
#include<iostream>
class time
{
private:
int hours;
int minutes;
public:
void gettime(int h,int m)
{
hours=h;
minutes=m;
}
void display()
{
cout<<hours<<"Hours and";
cout<<minutes<<"Minutes"<<endl;
}
void sum(time t1,time t2)
{
minutes = t1.minutes + t2.minutes;
hours = minutes/60;
minutes = minutes%60;
hours = hours + t1.hours + t2.hours;
}
};

int main()
{
time t1,t2,t3;
t1.gettime(2,45);
t2.gettime(3,30);
t3.sum(t1,t2);
cout<<"First time=";
t1.display();
cout<<"Second time=";
t2.display();
cout<<"Total time=";
t3.display();
return 0;
}
Since the member function sum () is invoked by the object t3, with the object t1 and t2 as
arguments, it can directly access the hours and minutes variables of t3. But, the member of
t1and t2 can be accessed by using the dot operator (like t1.hours and t1.minutes). Therefore,
inside the function sum(), the variable hours and minutes refers to t3, t1.hours and t1.minutes
refers to t1 and t2.hours and t2.minutes refers to t2.
Output:
First time=2 Hours and 45 Minutes
Second time=3 Hours and 30 Minutes
Total time=6 Hours and 15 Minutes
Another Example
Program to perform addition of two complex numbers by passing object as arguments.
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
class complex
{
private:
int real, imag;
public:
void getcomplex();
void addcomplex(complex, complex);
void display();
};

void complex:: getcomplex()
{
cout<<"Enter real part:"<<endl;
cin>>real;
cout<<"Enter imaginary part:"<<endl;
cin>>imag;
}
void complex::display()
{
cout<<real<<"+"<<imag<<"i"<<endl;
}
void complex::addcomplex( complex c1, complex c2)
{
real=c1.real+c2.real;
imag=c1.imag+c2.imag;
}
int main()
{
complex c1,c2,result;
cout<<"For first complex number"<<endl;
c1.getcomplex();
cout<<"For second complex number"<<endl;
c2.getcomplex();
result.addcomplex(c1,c2); //objects first and second passed as argument
cout<<"sum of two complex number=";
result.display();
getch();
}
Output:
For first complex number
Enter real part:
2
Enter imaginary Part:
4
For second complex number
Enter real part:
1
Enter imaginary Part:
8
Sum of two complex number=3+12i

Returning Object as Arguments
A function cannot only receive object as arguments but also return them. The example in
program below illustrates how an object can be created (within function) and returned to
another function.
Addition of complex number by returning object as argument
#include<iostream>
class complex
{
private:
int real;
int imag;
public:
void getdata();
complex addcomplex(complex,complex);
void display();
};
void complex::getdata()
{
cout<<"Enter the real part:"<<endl;
cin>>real;
cout<<"Enter the imaginary part :"<<endl;
cin>>imag;
}
{
}
complex complex::addcomplex( complex c1, complex c2)
{
complex temp;
temp.real=c1.real+c2.real;
temp.imag=c1.imag+c2.imag;
return temp;
}

int main()
{
complex c1,c2,c3,result;
c1.getdata();
c2.getdata();
result=c3.addcomplex(c1,c2);
result.display();
return 0;
}
What changes need to be done above program if we change the function call
statement as c3=c1.addcomplex(c2)
#include<iostream>
class complex
{
private:
int real;
int imag;
public:
void getdata();
complex addcomplex(complex);
void display();
};
void complex::getdata()
{
cout<<"Enter the real part:"<<endl;
cin>>real;
cout<<"Enter the imaginary part :"<<endl;
cin>>imag;
}
{
}
complex complex::addcomplex( complex c2)
{
complex temp;
temp.real=real+c2.real;
temp.imag=imag+c2.imag;
return temp;
}

int main()
{
complex c1,c2,c3;
c1.getdata();
c2.getdata();
c3=c1.addcomplex(c2);
c3.display();
return 0;
}
WAP to perform the addition of distance with feet and inches returning object as argument.
#include<iostream>
class dist
{
private:
int feet;
int inch;
public:
void getdata();
dist add(dist,dist);
void display();
};
void dist::getdata()
{
cout<<"Enter feet:"<<endl;
cin>>feet;
cout<<"Enter inch:"<<endl;
cin>>inch;
}
void dist::display()
{
cout<<feet<<"feet and"<<inch<<"inches"<<endl;
}

dist dist::add(dist d1, dist d2)
{
dist sum;
sum.inch=d1.inch+d2.inch;
sum.feet=sum.inch/12;
sum.inch=sum.inch%12;
sum.feet=sum.feet+d1.feet+d2.feet;
return sum;
}
int main()
{
dist d1,d2,d3,result;
cout<<"Enter information of first distance"<<endl;
d1.getdata();
cout<<"Enter information of second distance"<<endl;
d2.getdata();
result=d3.add(d1,d2);
cout<<"sum of distance=";
result.display();
return 0;
}
Assignment:
 WAP to perform the addition of time in hours, minutes and seconds format.
 WAP to perform the addition of time using the concept of returning object as argument.
 WAP to create two distance objects with data members feet, inches and a function call
by one object passing second object as function argument and return third object
adding two objects. Hint:d3=d1.adddistance(d2);
Memory allocation for objects

For each object memory spaces for member variables is allocated separately, because the
member variables will hold different data value for different objects.
The member functions are created and placed in the memory space only once when they are
defined as a part of class specification. Since, all the objects belonging to that class use the
same member functions, no separate space is allocated for member functions when objects are
created.

Common for all objects
Member function 1
Member function 1
Memory created when
functions are defined
Object 1 Object 2 Object 3

Member variable 1 Member variable 1 Member variable 1
Member variable 2 Member variable 2 Member variable 2
Friend function
The private member of a class cannot be accessed from outside the class i.e. a nonmember
function cannot access to the private data of a class. But may be in some situation one class
wants to access private data of second class and second wants to access private data of first
class, or may be an outside function wants to access the private data of a class. However, we
can achieve this by using friend functions.
The non-member function that is “friendly” to a class, has full access rights to the private
members of the class.
To make an outside function friendly to a class, we have to declare this function as a friend
function. Declaration of friend function should be preceded by the keyword friend.
The friend function declares as follows:
class ABC
{
------
------
public :
------
------
friend void xyz(void) ; //declaration
};
We give a keyword friend in front of any members function to make it friendly.

void xyz(void) //function definition
{
//function body
}
It should be noted that a function definition does not use friend keyword or scope
resolution operator (: :). A function can be declared as friend in any number of classes.
Characteristics of a Friend Function:
• It is not in the scope of the class to which it has been declared as friend. That is why,
it cannot be called using object of that class.
• It can be invoked like a normal function without the help of any object.
• It cannot access member names (member data) directly and has to use an object name and
dot membership operator with each member name.(eg.A.x)
• It can be declared in the public or the private part of a class without affecting its
meaning.
• Usually, it has the objects as arguments
Program to illustrate the use of friend function
#include <iostream>
class sample
{
private:
int a;
int b;
public:
void setvalue( )
{
a=25 ;
b=40 ;
}
friend float mean (sample s) ;
};
float mean (sample s)
{
return float(s.a+s.b)/2 ;
}
int main( )
{
sample x ;
x.setvalue( ) ;
cout<<"Mean value="<<mean(x)<<endl;
return 0 ; }

Create classes called class1 and class2 with each of having one private member .Add member
function to set a value(say setvalue) one each class. Add one more function max() that is
friendly to both classes. max() function should compare two private member of two classes
and show maximum among them. Create one-one object of each class and then set a value
on them. Display the maximum number among them.[PU:2015 fall,2016 fall
#include <iostream>
class class2;
class class1
{
private:
int x;
public:
void setvalue (int num)
{
x=num ;
}
friend void max (class1, class2);
};
class class2
{
private:
int y ;
public:
void setvalue(int num)
{
y=num ;
}
friend void max(class1, class2) ;
};
void max(class1 m, class2 n)

{
if (m.x>=n.y)
cout<<"Maximum value="<<m.x ;
else
cout<<"Maximum value="<<n.y ;
}

int main( )
{
class1 p;
class2 q;
p.setvalue(10) ;
q.setvalue(20) ;
max(p, q);
return 0;
}

}
Swapping Private data of classes
#include <iostream>
class XYZ
{
private:
int x;
public:
void getdata ()
{
cout<<"Enter Value of class XYZ"<<endl;
cin>>x;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"value1="<<x<<endl;
}
friend void swap (XYZ &,ABC &);
};
class ABC
{
private:
int y ;
public:
void getdata ()
{
cout<<"Enter the value of class ABC"<<endl;
cin>>y;
}

void display()
{
cout<<"value2="<<y<<endl;
}
friend void swap(XYZ &,ABC &) ;
};
void swap (XYZ &m, ABC &n) // Definition of friend
{
int temp;
temp=m.x;
m.x=n.y;
n.y=temp;
}
int main( )
{
XYZ p;
ABC q;
p.getdata() ;
q.getdata() ;
cout<<"Value before swapping"<<endl;
p.display();
q.display();
swap(p,q);
cout<<"Value after swapping"<<endl;
p.display();
q.display();
return 0;
}
Friend class
We can declare all the member functions of one class as the friend functions of another class. In
such cases, the class is called friend class. A friend class can use all the data member of
a class for which it is friend. For example
class B;
class A
{
…….
friend class B;
};
Here, class B can use all the data member of class A.

Example:
#include<iostream>
class B; //forward declaration
class A
{
int x,y;
public:
void getdata()
{
cout<<"Enter the value of x and y:"<<endl;
cin>>x>>y;
}
friend class B;
};
class B
{
int z;
public:
void getdata()
{
cout<<"Enter the value of z:";
cin>>z;
}
void sum(A t)
{
cout<<"Sum of x,y and z ="<<(t.x+t.y+z)<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
A p;
B q;
p.getdata();
q.getdata();
q.sum(p);
return 0;
}

Inline functions
When function is called, it takes a lot of extra time in executing a series of instructions for tasks
such as jumping to the function, saving register, pushing arguments into the stack, and
returning to the calling function. When a function is small, a substantial percentage of
execution time may be spent in such overheads.
To eliminate the cost of calls to small functions, C++ proposes a new feature called inline
function. An inline function is a function that is expanded in line when it is invoked. That is, the
compiler replaces the function call with the corresponding function code.
A function is made inline by using a keyword inline before the function definition. Inline
functions must be defined before they are called.
Example
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
inline int max(int a, int b)
{
return (a>b)?a:b;
}
int main()
{
int x,y;
cout<<"Enter x and y:"<<endl;
cin>>x>>y;
cout<<"Maximum value is:"<<max(x,y);
getch();
return 0;
}
Note:
Some of the situations where inline expansion may not work are
 For functions returning values, if a loop, a switch or a goto exists.
 For functions not returning values, if a return statement exists.
 If function contain static variables.
 If inline functions are recursive.

Static data member
A data member of class can be qualified as static using the prefix static. A static member
variable has following characteristics. They are:
 Static member variable of a class is initialized to zero when the first object of its class is
created.
 Only one copy of that member is created for the entire class and is shared by all the
objects of that class, no matter how many object are created.
 It is visible only within the class but its life time is the entire program.
The type and scope of each static member variable must be defined outside the class definition.
Static variables are normally used to maintain values common to the entire class. For example,
a static data member can be used as a counter that records the occurrences of all the objects.
Example:
#include <iostream>
class item
{
static int count ; // static member variable
int number ;
public:
void getdata (int a)
{
number=a;
count++ ;
}
void displaycount()
{
cout<<"count:"<<count<<endl;
}
};
int item ::count; //static member definition

int main()
{
item x,y,z ; //count is initialized to zero
x.displaycount(); // display count
y.displaycount();
z.displaycount();
x.getdata(10) ; //getting data into object x
y.getdata(20) ; //getting data into object y
z.getdata(30) ; //getting data into object z
cout<<"After reading data"<<endl ;
x.displaycount(); // display count
y.displaycount();
z.displaycount();
return 0;
}
Output:
Count:0
Count:0
Count:0
After reading data
Count:3
Count:3
Count:3
Static Member functions

Like static member variables, we can also have static member functions.
A member function that is declared static has the following properties.
 A static function can have access to only other static members (functions or variables)
declared in the same class.
 A static member function can be called using the class name(instead of objects) as
follows.
class-name::function name;

#include<iostream>
class test
{
int code;
static int count;
public:
void setcode()
{
code=++count;
}
void showcode()
{
cout<<"code="<<code<<endl;
}
static void showcount()
{
cout<<"count="<<count<<endl;
}
};
int test::count;
int main()
{
test t1,t2;
t1.setcode();
t2.setcode();
test::showcount();
test t3;
t3.setcode();
test::showcount();
t1.showcode();
t2.showcode();
t3.showcode();
return 0;
}
Output:
Count=2
Count=3
Code=1
Code=2
Code=3

Reference Variable
A reference variable provides an alias(alternative name) for a previously defined variable.
A reference variable can be created as follows:
data-type &reference-name = variable name;
eg float total = 100;

float &sum = total; // creating reference variable for ‘total’.
Example:
#include<iostream>
int main()
{
float total=100;
float &sum=total;
cout<<"Total="<<total<<endl;
cout<<"Sum="<<sum<<endl;
total=total+100;
return 0;
}
Output:
Total=100
Sum=100
Total=200
Sum=200
In the above example, we are creating a reference variable ‘sum’ for an existing variable
‘total’. Now these can be used interchangeably. Both of these names refer to same data
object in memory. If the value is manipulated and changed using one name then it will
change for another also. Eg- the statement
total = total + 100; will change value of ‘total’ to 200. And it will also change for
‘sum’. So the statements
cout<<total;
cout<<sum; both will print 200. This is because both the variables use same data object
in memory.

 A reference variable must be initialized at the time of declaration, since this will
establish correspondence between the reference and the data object which it names.
 The symbol & is not an address operator here. The notation float & means reference
to float type data.
Major application of reference variable is in passing arguments to function. Consider the

following example.
#include<iostream>
void fun(int &x);
int main()
{
int m;
m=10;
fun(m);
cout<<"Updated value="<<m;
return 0;
}
void fun(int &x)
{
x=x+10;
}
When the function call fun(m) is executed, the following initialization occurs:
int &x=m;
Thus x becomes an alias of m after executing the statement.
fun(m);
such function calls are known as call by reference. Since the variables x and m are aliases, when
the function increments x, m is also incremented. The value of m becomes 20 after the function
is executed.

Default argument
C++ allows a function to assign a parameter the default value in case no argument for that
parameter is specified in the function call. Default values are specified when the function is
declared. Default value is specified in a manner syntactically similar to a variable initialization. If
a value for that parameter is not passed when the function is called, the default
value is used, but if a value is specified, this default value is ignored and the passed value
is used instead.
For example:
float amount(float principal, int period, float rate=0.15);
The above prototype declares a default value of 0.15 to the argument rate.
A subsequent function call like
value=amount(5000,7); // one argument missing
Passes the value 5000 to principal and 7 to period and then lets a function use default value of
0.15 for rate,
The call
Value=amount(5000,5,0.12); // no missing argument
Passes the explicit value of 0.12 to rate.
Note:
 Default argument are useful in situations where some arguments always have the same
value. Eg. bank interest may remain the same for all customers for a particular period of
deposit.
 Only the trailing arguments can have default values and therefore we must add defaults
from right to left.
 We cannot provide a default value to a particular argument in the middle of an
argument list.
int add (int a, int b = 5, int c); // illegal

int add (int a = 5, int b, int c = 6); // illegal
int add (int a int b , int c = 5); // legal
int add (int a = 5, int b = 6, int c = 7); // legal

Example:
#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
int add(int a=1, int b=2, int c=3);
int main()
{
int x=5,y=10,z=15;
cout<<"Sum="<<add(x,y,z)<<endl;
cout<<"Sum="<<add(x,y)<<endl;
cout<<"Sum="<<add(x)<<endl;
cout<<"Sum="<<add()<<endl;
getch();
return 0;
}
int add(int a, int b, int c)
{
return (a+b+c);
}
Output:
Sum=30
Sum =18
Sum =10
Sum =6
State and Behavior of Object
State
 State tells us about the type or the value of that object.
 It tells, “What the objects have?”
Example: Student have a first name, last name, age, etc...
 An objects state is defined by the attributes (i.e. data members or variables) of the
object.
 In OOP state is defined as data members.
 It is determined by the values of its attributes.

Behavior
 Behavior tells us about the operations or things that the object can perform.
 It tells “What the objects do”
 Example Student attend a course “OOP”, “C programming” etc…
 An objects behavior is defined by the methods or action (i.e. Member functions) of the
object.
 In OOP behaviors are defined as member function
 It determines the actions of an object.
Let us consider another example
Imagine a dog. This is an example of an object.
A state can be on or off. If it's asleep, its state is off. If it's awake, the state is on.
Behavior: If the dog is awake, what is it doing? Examples of behavior might be barking, sniffing,
eating or drinking, pawing, jumping, playing, to name a few.
Responsibility of Object
An object must contain the data (attributes) and code (methods) necessary to perform any and
all services that are required by the object. This means that the object must have the capability
to perform required services itself or at least know how to find and invoke these services.
Rather than attempt to further refine the definition, take a look at an example that illustrates
this responsibility concept.
Consider standalone application when looking for an example to illustrate object responsibility.
One of my favorite examples is that of a generic paint program that allows a user to select a
shape from a pallet and then drag it to a canvas, where the shape is dropped and displayed.
From the user's perspective, this activity is accomplished by a variety of mouse actions. First, the
user hovers over a specific shape with the mouse (perhaps a circle), right clicks, drags the shape
to a location on the canvas and then lifts his/her finger off the mouse.
This last action causes the shape to be placed at the desired location. In fact, what is really
happening when our user's finger is lifted from the mouse button? We can use this action to
illustrate our object responsibility concept.

Let's assume that when the finger is lifted from the mouse button that the resulting message
from this event is simply: draw. Consider the mouse as an object and that the mouse is only
responsible for itself as well. The mouse can, and should only do mouse things. In this context,
when the finger is lifted from the mouse button, the mouse thing to do is to draw. But draw
what? Actually, the mouse doesn't care. It is not the mouse's responsibility to know how to draw
anything. Its responsibility is to signal when to draw, not what to draw.
If this is the case (remember that a circle was selected), how does the right thing get drawn?
The answer is actually pretty straightforward; the circle knows how to draw itself. The circle is
responsible for doing circle things—just like the mouse is responsible for doing mouse things. So,
if you select a circle, the circle object that is created knows everything possible about how to use
a circle in the application.
This model has a major implication. Because the mouse does not need to know anything about
specific shape objects, all it needs to do to draw a shape is to send the message draw. Actually,
this will take the form of a method called draw( ). Thus, more shapes can be added without
having to change any of the mouse's behavior. The only constraint is that any shape object
installed in the application must implement a draw( ) method. If there is no draw( ) method, an
exception will be generated when the mouse mouse-up action attempts to invoke the object's
non-existent draw( ) method. In this design methodology, there is a de facto contract between
the mouse class and the shape class and these contracts are made possible by the powerful
object-oriented design technique called polymorphism.

CHAPTER 3
Message, instance and initialization
Message Passing
Message passing (sometimes also called method lookup) means the dynamic process of asking
an object to perform a specific action.
 A message is always given to some object, called the receiver.

 The action performed in response to the message is not fixed but may be differ,
depending on the class of the receiver .That is different objects may accept the same
message the and yet perform different actions.
There are three identifiable parts to any message-passing expression. These are
1) Receiver: the object to which the message is being sent
2) Message selector: the text that indicates the particular message is being sent.
3) Arguments used in responding the message.
s.getdata(100,200);
receiver Message arguments
Example of message passing

#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
class student
{
int roll;
public:
void getdata(int x)
{
roll=x;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"Roll number="<<roll;
}
};

int main()
{
student s;
s.getdata(325); //objects passing message
s.display(); //objects passing message
getch();
return 0;
}
Message passing vs procedure calls

The message passing and procedure calls are differ in following aspects.
Message passing
 In a message passing there is a designated receiver for that message; the receiver is
some object to which message is sent.
 Interpretation of the message (that is method is used to respond the message) is
determined by the receiver and can vary with different receivers. That is, different
object receive the same message and yet perform different actions.
 Usually, the specific receiver for any given message will not be known until run time, so
determination of which method cannot be made until then. Thus, we say there is a late
binding between the message (function or procedure name) and the code fragment
(method) used to respond to the message.
Procedure calls
 In a procedure call, there is no designated receiver.

 Determination of which method to invoke is very early(compile-time or link time)
binding of a name to fragment in procedure calls.
Constructor
 A constructor is a special member function which initializes the objects of its class. It is
called special because its name is same as that of the class name.
 The constructor is automatically executed whenever an object is created. Thus, a
constructor helps to initialize the objects without making a separates call to a member
function.
 It is called constructor because it constructs values of data members of a class.

Characteristics of constructor
 A constructor has same name as class name.

 They are invoked automatically when the objects are created.
 They should be declared in the public section.
 They do not have return types.
 They cannot be inherited, though a derived class can call the base class
constructor.
 Like other C++ functions, they can have default arguments.
 Constructors cannot be virtual.
 We cannot refer to their addresses.
 An object with a constructor (or destructor) cannot be used as a member of a
union.
 They make ‘implicit calls’ to the new and delete operators when a memory
allocation is required.
Types of Constructor:
1. Default constructor
 A constructor that accepts no arguments (parameters) is called the default

constructor.
 If a class does not include any constructor, the compiler supplies a default
constructor.
The default Constructor is declared and defined as follows:

class Complex
{
private:
int real,imag;
public:
Complex
{
real=0;
imag=0;
}
............
............
};

When a class contains a constructor like the defined above, it is guaranteed that an object by
class will be initialized automatically. For example, the declaration
Complex c1; not only creates the object c1 of type Complex but also initializes its data
members real and imag to zero. There is no need to write any statement to invoke the
constructor function (as we do with normal member functions).
Program:
#include <iostream>
class Complex
{
private:
int real,imag ;
public:
Complex()
{
real=0;
imag=0;
}
void display( )
{
cout<<"Real part="<<real<<endl;
cout<<"Imaginary part="<<imag<<endl ;
}
};
int main( )
{
Complex c1;
c1.display();
return 0;
}
Output:
Real part=0
Imaginary Part=0

2. Parameterized Constructor
The constructor that can take arguments are called parameterized constructor.
Arguments are passed when the objects are created. This can be done in two ways.
 by calling the constructor explicitly
 by calling the constructor implicitly
For example, the constructor used in the following example is the parameterized constructor
and takes two arguments both of type int.
class Complex
{
private:
int real,imag;
public:
Complex (int r, int i) //parameterized constructor
{
real=r;
imag=i;
}
.......
.......
};
int main()
{
Complex c1(5,2); //implicit call
Complex c2 =Compex(7,4); //explicit call
........
}

Example:
#include <iostream>
class Complex
{
private:
int real,imag;
public:
Complex(int r,int i)
{
real=r;
imag=i;
}
void display( )
{
cout<<"Imaginary part="<<imag<<endl ;
}
};
int main( )
{
Complex c1(5,2);
c1.display();
return 0;
}
Output:
Real part=5
Imaginary part=2
3) Copy Constructor
A copy constructor is used to declare and initialize an object with another object of
the same type.
For example, the statement
Complex c2(c1);
Creates new object c2 and performs member-by-member copy of c1 into c2. Another
form of this statement is
Complex c2 = c1;

The process of initializing through assignment operator is known as copy
initialization.
A copy constructor takes reference to an object of the same class as its
argument. For example,
Complex (Complex &x)

{
real=x.real;
Imag=x.imag;
}
Remember: We cannot pass the argument by value to a copy constructor
When no copy constructor is defined, the compiler supplies its own copy constructor.
#include<iostream>
class Complex
{
private:
int real, imag ;
public:
Complex( )
{
}
Complex (int r,int i)
{
real=r ;
imag=i ;
}
Complex (Complex &x)
{
real=x.real ;
imag=x.imag ;
}
void display( )
{
cout<<"Imaginary part="<<imag<<endl;
}
};

int main( )
{
Complex c1(5,10) ;
Complex c2(c1) ; // copy constructor called
Complex c3;
c3=c1;
cout<<"Details of c1"<<endl;
c1.display( ) ;
cout<< "Details of c2"<<endl;
c2.display( ) ;
cout<< "Details of c3"<<endl;
c3.display( ) ;
return 0;
}
Constructor Overloading
We can have more than one constructor in a class with same name and different number of
arguments. This concept is known as Constructor 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.
#include<iostream>
class Complex
{
int real,imag;
public:
Complex() //Default Constructor
{
real=0;
imag=0;
}
Complex(int r,int i) //Parameterized Constructor
{
real=r;
imag=i;
}

Complex(Complex &x) //Copy Constructor
{
real=x.real;
imag=x.imag;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"Real part:"<<real<<endl;
cout<<"Imaginary part"<<imag<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
Complex c1;
Complex c2(5,2);
Complex c3(c2);
c1.display();
c2.display();
c3.display();
return 0;
}
In the above example of class Complex, we have defined three constructors. The first one is
invoked when we don’t pass any arguments. The second gets invoked when we supply
two argument, while the third one gets invoked when an object is passed as an argument.
Example
Complex c1;
This statement would automatically invoke the first one.
Complex c2(102,300); invokes 2nd constructor
Complex c3(c2); invokes 3rd constructor

Constructor with default argument
It is possible to define constructor with default arguments.
#include<iostream>
class test
{
int a,b,c;
public:
test(int x=1,int y=2,int z=3);
void display();
};
test::test(int x,int y,int z)
{
a=x;b=y;c=z;
}
void test::display()
{
cout<<"a="<<a<<"b="<<b<<"c="<<c<<endl;
}
int main()
{
test t1;
test t2(5,10,15);
test t3(6);
t1.display();
t2.display();
t3.display();
return 0;
}
Output:
a=1b=2 c=3
a=5b=10 c=15
a=6b=2 c=3
Destructors
 Destructor is a member function that destroys the object that have been created by a
constructor.
 Destructor name is similar to class name but preceded by a tilde sign (~).
 They are also defined in the public section.
 Destructor never takes any argument, nor does it return any value. So, they cannot be
Overloaded.

 Destructor gets invoked, automatically, when an object goes out of scope (i.e. exit from
the program, or block or function).
Example:
A destructor for the class test will look like
~test()
{
------
------
}
#include<iostream>
class test
{
static int count;
public:
test()
{
count++;
cout<<"object:"<<count<<"created"<<endl;
}
~test()
{
cout<<"object:"<<count<<"destroyed"<<endl;
count--;
}
};
int test::count;
int main()
{
cout<<"Inside the main block"<<endl;
test t1;
{
//Block 1
cout<<"Inside Block 1"<<endl;
test t2,t3;
cout<<"Leaving Block 1"<<endl;
}
cout<<"Back to main Block"<<endl;
return 0;
}

Output:
New and Delete Operator

New
 Dynamic memory is allocated using operator new.
 new is followed by a data type specifier and, if a sequence of more than one element
is required, the number of these within brackets [ ].
 It returns a pointer to the beginning of the new block of memory allocated.
Syntax: pointer-variable = new data-type;
This expression is used to allocate memory to contain one single element of
type data-type.
For Example: int *ptr;
ptr=new int;
Similarly,
Syntax: pointer-variable = new data-type [size];
This one is used to allocate a block (an array) of elements of type data-type,
where size is an integer value representing the number of elements.
For Example:
int *ptr;
*ptr = new int [5];

Delete
 In most cases, memory allocated dynamically is only needed during specific periods
of time within a program. Once it is no longer needed, it can be freed so that the
memory becomes available again for other requests of dynamic memory.
 delete operator free the memory allocated to the variable i.e. it deletes the variables
memory.
Syntax is:
delete pointer-variable;
delete [size] pointer-variable;
 The first statement releases the memory of a single element allocated using new
 The second one releases the memory allocated for arrays of elements using new and a
size in brackets ([ ]).
Note: The size specifies the number of elements in the array to be freed. The problem with this
form is that programmer should remember the size of the array. Recent version of c++ do not
require the size to be specified. for example,
delete[] ptr;
Example Program for new & delete operator
#include <iostream>
int main ()
{
int i,size;
int *ptr;
cout << "How many numbers would you like to Enter? ";
cin >>size;
ptr= new int[size];
for (i=0; i<size; i++)
{
cout << "Enter number:"<<i+1<<endl;
cin >> ptr[i];
}
cout << "You have entered:"<<endl;
{
cout << ptr[i]<<endl ;
}
delete[] ptr;
return 0;
}

Memory Mapping, Allocation and Recovery
Stack & Heap Memory
Stack
 It's a region of computer's memory that stores temporary variables created by each
function (including the main() function).
 The stack is a "Last in First Out" data structure and limited in size. Every time a function
declares a new variable, it is "pushed" (inserted) onto the stack. Every time a function
exits, all of the variables pushed onto the stack by that function, are freed or popped
(that is to say, they are deleted).
 Once a stack variable is freed, that region of memory becomes available for other stack
variables.
 A key to understanding the stack is the notion that when a function exits, all of its
variables are popped off (Removed) of the stack (and hence lost forever).
Advantages
 Memory is managed to store variables automatically. We don't have
to allocate memory by hand, or free it once we don't need it any more.
 CPU organizes stack memory so efficiently, reading from and writing to stack
variables is very fast.
Limitations
 Limit (varies with OS) on the size of variables that can be store on the stack.
Heap
 The heap is a region of computer's memory that is not managed automatically
and is not as tightly managed by the CPU.
 Dynamic memory allocation is a way for running programs to request memory from the
operating system when needed. This memory does not come from the program’s
limited stack memory -- instead, it is allocated from a much larger pool of memory
managed by the operating system called the heap. It is a more free-floating region of
memory (and is larger).
 To allocate memory on the heap, you must use new operator in C++.Once you have
allocated memory on the heap, you are responsible for using delete to de-allocate that
memory once you don't need it any more.
 Unlike the stack, the heap does not have size restrictions on variable size (apart from
the obvious physical limitations of computer).
 Heap memory is slightly slower to be read from and written to, because one has to use
pointers to access memory on the heap.

 Unlike the stack, variables created on the heap are accessible by any function,
anywhere in your program. Heap variables are essentially global in scope.

When to use the Heap or stack?
We should use heap when we require to allocate a large block of memory. For example,
you want to create a large size array or big structure to keep that variable around a long
time then you should allocate it on the heap.
However, If we are working with relatively small variables that are only required until
the function using them is alive. Then we need to use the stack, which is faster and
easier.

CHAPTER 4
Object Inheritance and Reusability
 In OOPs, the mechanism of deriving new class from old one is called inheritance.
 The old class is referred to as (base class /parent class/super class) and new class is
called as (derived class/child class /sub class).
 The derived class inherits some or all of the data and functions from base class so that
so that we can reuse the already written and tested code in our program.
Example:
The properties of class named Person like name, age, address, phone number can be
reusable in Class Employee. So, inheritance supports reusability and minimizes coding
redundancy.
Visibility Modifier (Access Specifier):
Visibility Modifier Accessible from Accessible from Accessible from

(Access Specifier) own class derived class objects outside class
public yes yes yes
private yes no no
protected yes yes no
Defining Derived Class (Specifying Derived Class):
General syntax :
class derived_class_name : visibility_mode base_class_name
{
//members of derived class
};
 The colon (:) indicates that the derived_class_name is derived from the
base_class_name.
 The visibility_mode is optional, if present, may be either private or public.
The default visibility mode is private.
 Visibility mode specifies whether the features of the base class are privately derived or
publicly derived or derived on protected.
Compiled By: Pradip paudel Page:1

Base Class Visibility Derived Class Visibility
Public derivation Private derivation Protected derivation
Private Not inherited Not inherited Not inherited
Protected Protected Private Protected
Public Public Private Protected
class A
{
public:
int x;
protected:
int y;
private:
int z;
};
class B : public A
{
// x is public
// y is protected
// z is not accessible from B
};
class C : protected A
{
// x is protected
// y is protected
// z is not accessible from C
};
class D : private A // 'private' is default for classes

{
// x is private
// y is private
// z is not accessible from D
};

While any derived_class is inherited from a base_class, following things should be
understood:
1. When a base class is privately inherited by a derived class, only the public and
protected members of base class can be accessed by the member functions of derived
class. This means no private member of the base class can be accessed by the objects
of the derived class. Public and protected member of base class becomes private in
derived class.
2. When a base class is publicly inherited by a derived class the private members are not
inherited, the public and protected are inherited. The public members of base class
becomes public in derived class whereas protected members of base class becomes
protected in derived class.
3. When a base class is protectedly inherited by a derived class, then public members of
base class becomes protected in derived class ; protected members of base class
becomes protected in the derived class, the private members of the base class are not
inherited to derived class but note that we can access private member through
inherited member function of the base class.
Fig: Effect of inheritance on visibility of members

Types of Inheritance:
There are five types of inheritance:
1) Single Inheritance
2) Multiple inheritance
3) Hierarchical Inheritance
4) Multilevel Inheritance
5) Hybrid Inheritance
1) Single Inheritance
When a class is derived from only one base class, then it is called single inheritance.
A
Base Class
B
Derived Class
General form:
class A // base class

{
...........
};
class B : public A // derived class B
{
.............
};
Here in, Single Inheritance
 One base class and one derived class only involved
 Class A is base class.
 B is derived class.
 B is not used as base class again
 No further extension of derived class
 All data members in protected and public of class A can be accessed using object of class
B.

2) Multiple Inheritance
When a class is derived from two or more base classes, it is

called multiple inheritance.
Base Class A B
C
Derived Class
General form
class A
{
};
Class B
{
};
class C:public A, public B
{
};
In General form there are 3 classes A, B and C. Class A and B are base classes and C is derived
class.
All data members in protected and public of class A & B can be accessed using object of class C.
Here two base classes A and B have been created and a derived class C is created from
both base classes.

3) Hierarchical Inheritance: When two or more than two classes are derived from one
base class, it is called hierarchical inheritance.
B C D
General form
class A
{
};
Class B: public A
{
};
Class C: public A
{
};
Class D: public A
{
};
In General form three classes B and C and D are derived from same base class A. All
data members in protected and public of class A can be accessed using object of
classes B, C, D.

4) Multilevel Inheritance: The mechanism for deriving a class from another derived
class is known as multilevel inheritance.
A
Base class
B
Derived Class
Derived class from C

Derived class B
General form
Class A
{
.... .. . ..
};
Class B: public A
{
. . . . . .. .
};
Class C: public B
{
............
};
In General form there are 3 classes A,B and C. Class A is base class and Class B is derived
class from Class A and class C is derived class from class B. All data members in protected and
public of class A can be accessed using object of classes B, C and of class B can be accessed by
class C.

5) Hybrid Inheritance:
Combination of one or more types of inheritance is known as hybrid inheritance.
D
B
Class A
{
};
Class D
{
};
Class B: public A
{
};
Class C: public B, Public D
{
};
Description: In General form there are 4 classes A, B, C and D. Classes A & D are base classes
and Class B is derived class from Class A and class C is derived class from classes B & D. All data
members in protected and public of class A can be accessed using object of classes B, C and of
classes B&D can be accessed by class C.

}
};
int main()
{

{
protected:
int m;
public:
void get_m(int x)
{
m=x;
}
};
class N
{
protected:

public:
void get_n(int y)
{
n=y;
}
};
class P:public M,public N

{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"m= "<<m<<endl;
cout<<"n= "<<n<<endl;
cout<<"m*n="<<m*n<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
P p;
p.get_m(10);
p.get_n(20);
p.display();
return 0;
}

Example of multilevel Inheritance

class student
{
protected:
int roll;
public:
void getnum(int x)
{
roll=x;
}
void putnum()
{
cout<<"Roll number="<<roll<<endl;
}
};
class test:public student
{
protected:
float sub1,sub2;
public:
void getmarks(float x,float y)
{
sub1=x;
sub2=y;
}
void putmarks()
{
cout<<"Marks in sub1="<<sub1<<endl;
cout<<"Marks in sub2="<<sub2<<endl;
}
};

class result:public test
{
private:
float total;
public:
void display()
{
total=sub1+sub2;
putnum();
putmarks();
}
};
int main()
{
result r;
r.getnum(10);
r.getmarks(75.5,80);
r.display();
return 0;
}
Example of Hierarchical Inheritance
#include<iostream>
class A
{
protected:
int x,y;
public:
void init()
{
x=20;y=10;
}
};

class B:public A
{
private:
int sum ;
public:
void add( )
{
sum=x+y ;
cout<< "x+y="<<sum<<endl;
}
};
class C: public A
{
int diff;
public:
void sub()
{
diff=x-y;
cout<< "x-y="<<diff<<endl;
}
};
class D: public A
{
int m;
public:
void mul( )
{
m=x*y ;
cout<<"x*y="<<m<<endl;
}};
int main()
{
B b1;
C c1;
D d1;
b1.init();
b1.add();
c1.init();
c1.sub() ;
d1.init();
d1.mul();
return 0;
}

Example of Hybrid Inheritance
#include<iostream>
class A
{
protected:
int x;
public:
void assignx( )
{
x=20;
}
};
class B: public A
{
protected:
int y ;
public:
void assigny()
{
y=40;
}
};
class C :public B
{
protected:
int z;
public:
void assignz( )
{
z=60;
}
};
class D
{
protected :
int k ;
public:
void assignk( )
{
k=80;
}
};

class E :public D, public C
{
private:
int total;
public:
void output()
{
total=x+y+z+k;
cout<< "x+y+z+k="<<total<<endl;
}
};
int main( )
{
E e1;
e1.assignx();
e1.assigny();
e1.assignz();
e1.assignk();
e1.output();
return 0;
}

Ambiguity in Multiple inheritance
When two or more than two base classes have a function of identical name and when class
inherits from multiple base classes then ambiguity occurs.
Let us consider the following case:
class M
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"Class M"<<endl;
}
};
class N
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"Class N"<<endl;
}
};
Which display function is used by the derived class when we inherit these two classes?
We can solve this problem by redefining the member in the derived class using resolution
operator with the function as shown below.
class P:public M,public N

{
public:
void display()
{
M::display();
}
};
Now we can use the derived class as follows:
int main()
{
P p;
p.display();
return 0;
}

Output:
Class M
Ambiguity in single Inheritance

Ambiguity may also arise in single inheritance applications. For example, Let us consider the
following situation.
class A
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"class A"<<endl;
}
};
class B:public A
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"class B"<<endl;
}
};
In this case, the function in the derived class overrides the inherited function and therefore
simple call to display() by B type object will invoke function defined in B only. However, we may
invoke the function defined in A by using the scope resolution operator to specify the class.
int main()
{
B b;
b.display(); //derived class object
b.A::display(); //invokes display() in A
b.B::display(); //invokes display() in B
return 0;
}
Output:
Class B
Class A
Class B

Virtual Base class
 During the time of hybrid inheritance when there is a hierarchical inheritance at the
upper level and multiple inheritance at lower level, ambiguity occurs due to the
duplication of data from multiple path at the grand child class. How this kind of
ambiguity is resolved? Explain with suitable example.[PU:2013 fall]
 Does ambiguity occurs in hybrid inheritance .If yes? How can you remove this? Explain
with example.[PU:2018 fall]
 Under what condition virtual base class is created? Explain it with suitable example
.[PU:2017 fall]
Let us consider the following situation:
In the above example, both Class B and Class C inherit properties of Class A, they both have
single copy of Class A. However Class D inherit both Class B and Class C, therefore Class D have
two copies of Class A, one from Class B and another from Class C. This introduces ambiguity and
should be avoided..
The duplication of inherited members due to these multiple paths can be avoided by making
common base class as virtual class while declaring the direct or intermediate base classes.

By making a class virtual only one copy of that class is inherited though we may have many
inheritance paths between the virtual base class and a derived class .we can specify a base class
inheritance by using the keyword virtual.
To remove multiple copies of Class A from Class D, we must inherit Class A in Class Band Class C
as virtual class.
class A
{
----------------------
};
class B:virtual public A
{
//parent1
----------------------
};
class C:public virtual A
{
//parent2
----------------------
};
class D:public B, public C{
//child
----------------------
};

Program
#include<iostream>
class A
{
public:
int a;
};
class B : virtual public A
{
public:
int b;
};
class C : virtual public A
{
public:
int c;
};
class D : public B, public C

{
public:
int d;
};
int main()
{
D obj;
obj.a = 10; //value of obj.a is replaced by 100 due to only one copy of data member of class A
obj.a = 100; // is available in class D
obj.b = 20;
obj.c = 30;
obj.d = 40;
cout<< "A="<<obj.a<<endl;
cout<< "B="<<obj.b<<endl;
cout<< "C="<<obj.c<<endl;
cout<< "D="<<obj.d<<endl;
return 0;
}

Constructor and Destructor in Inheritance
 Compiler automatically calls constructer of base class and derived class automatically
when derived class object is created.
 If we declare derived class object in inheritance constructor of base class is executed
first and then constructor of derived class.
 If derived class object goes out of scope or deleted by programmer the derived class
destructor is executed first and then base class destructor
Illustration of when base and derived class constructor and destructor functions are
executed
#include <iostream>
class A
{
public:
A( )
{
cout<< "Constructor in base class"<<endl ;
}
~A( )
{
cout<< "Destructor in base class"<<endl ;
}
};
class B:public A
{
public:
B()
{
cout<< "Constructor in derived class"<<endl ;
}
~B( )
{
cout<< "Destructor in derived class"<<endl ;
}
};
int main( )
{
B obj;
return 0;
}

In Above Program Class A is base class with one constructor and destructor, Class B is
derived from class A having a constructor and destructor. In main() Object of derived class i.e.
class B is declared. When class B’s object is declared constructor of base class is executed
followed by derived class constructor. At end of program destructor of derived class is executed
first followed by base class destructor
Output:
Constructor in base Class

Constructor in derived class
Destructor in derived Class
Destructor in base class
Constructor in derived class
 If the base class does not have any constructors taking arguments (parameterized
constructors), the derived class need not have a constructor function.
 If the base class contains a constructor with one or more arguments then it is
mandatory for the derived class to have a constructor and pass the arguments to the
base class constructors.
 When both the derived and base classes contain constructors then the base class
constructors is execute first and then the constructor in the derived class is executed.
 In case of Multiple Inheritance
 The base classes are constructed in the order in which they appear in the
declaration of the derived class
 In case of Multilevel Inheritance
 The constructors will be executed in the order of inheritance
 The constructors for virtual base classes are invoked before any non-virtual base classes.
Method of inheritance Order of Execution

Class B:public A{ A(); base constructor (first)
}; B(); derived constructor(second)
B(); base constructor (first)

Class A:public B, public C{
C(); base constructor(second)
}
A();derived (last)
C(); virtual base (first)

Class A: public B, virtual public C{
B(); ordinary base constructor(second)
}
A();derived (last)

Argument passing mechanism for supplying initial values to the bases classes
constructors:
 The constructor of the derived class receives the entire list of values as its arguments
and passed them to the base class constructors in the order in which they are declared
in the base class.
 The base class constructors are called and executed first before executing the
statements in the body of the derived constructor.
General form of defining a derived constructor:

Derived-constructor(Arglist1, Arglist2,……ArglistN, ArglistD):
base1(Arglist1),
base2(arglist2)
............. .
baseN(arglistN)
{
//Body of the derived constructor
}
The header line of derived constructor function contains two parts separated by a colon (:)
The first part provide the declaration of arguments that are passed to the derived constructor
and the second part lists the function calls to the base constructors
Here, base1(Arglist1), base2(Arglist2)….. baseN (ArglistN) are function calls to base class
constructors and Arglist1, Arglist2…… ArglistN are the actual parameters that are passed to the
base constructors . Here, ArglistD provides the parameters that are necessary to initialize the
members of the derived class itself.
Example:
#include<iostream>

class alpha
{
int x;
public:
alpha(int a)
{
x=a;
cout<<"Alpha is initialized"<<endl;
}
void showa()
{
cout<<"x="<<x<<endl;
}
};
class beta
{
int y;
public:
beta(int b)
{
y=b;
cout<<"Beta is initialized"<<endl;
}
void showb()
{
cout<<"y="<<y<<endl;
}
};
class gamma:public beta,public alpha
{
int z;
public:
gamma(int a,int b,int c):alpha(a),beta(b)
{
z=c;
cout<<"Gamma is initialized"<<endl;
}
void showg()
{
cout<<"z="<<z<<endl;
}
};

int main()
{
gamma g(5,10,15);
g.showa();
g.showb();
g.showg();
return 0;
}
Output:
Beta is initialized
Alpha is initialized
Gamma is initialized
Here, beta is initialized first although it appears second in the derived constructor as it has been
declared first in the derived class header line
class gamma: public beta, public alpha
{
}
If we change the order to
class gamma: public alpha, public beta
{
}
then alpha will be initialized first

Initialization list in constructors
C++ supports another method of initializing the class objects .This method uses what is known
as initialization list in the constructor function. This takes the following form.
constructor (arglist):initialization- section
{
assignment-section
}
 assignment-section: It is body of the constructor function and used to initialize value to
its data members.
 Initialization-section: This section is used to provide initial value to the base
constructors and also initialize its own class member.
 We can use either of the section to initialize the data members of constructor in class.
 The initialization section basically contains a list of initializations separated by commas.
This list is known as initialization list.
Consider the simple example:
class alpha
{
int a;
int b;
public:
alpha(int x,int y):a(x),b(2*y)
{
}
};
int main()
{
alpha a1(2,3);
}
This program will initialize a to 2 and b to 6. Now data members are initialized ,just by using the
variable name followed by initialization value enclosed in the parenthesis(like a function call.
Any of the parameters of the argument list may be used as the initialization value and the item
list may be in any order.
alpha(int x,int y):b(x),a(x+y)
{ }
In this case a will be initialized to 5 and b to 2.
Data members are initialized in the order of the declaration, independent of the order of the
initialization list.

alpha(int x,int y):a(x),b(a*y){}
Here the data member a has been declared first so value of a is initialized first and its value is
used to initialize b.
However, the following will not work:
alpha(int x,int y):b(x),a(b*y)
{
}
Because the value of b is not available to which is to be initialized first.
The following statements are also valid:
alpha(int x,int y):a(x)
{
b=y
}
OR
alpha(int x,int y)
{
a=x;
b=y:
}

Program:
#include<iostream>
class alpha
{
private:
int a,b,c;
public:
alpha(int x,int y,int z):a(x),b(2*y)
{
c=z;
}
void showa()
{
cout<<"a="<<a<<endl;
cout<<"b="<<b<<endl;
cout<<"c="<<c<<endl;
}
};

{
private:
int d,e;
public:
beta(int x,int y,int z,int m,int n):alpha(x,y,z),d(2+m)
{
e=n;
}
void showb()
{
cout<<"d="<<d<<endl;
cout<<"e="<<e<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
beta b1(5,10,15,20,25);
b1.showa();
b1.showb();
return 0;
}

Subclass, Subtype and Principle of Substitutability
If we consider the relationship of a data type associated with a parent class to the data type
associated with a child class, the following observations can be made.
 Instances of the child class must possess all data members associated with the parent
class.
 Instances of the child class must implement, through inheritance as least (if not
explicitly overridden), all functionality defined for parent class. (They can also define
new functionality)
 The instance of a child class can mimic the behavior of parent class and should be
indistinguishable from an instance of parent class if substituted in similar situation.
The Principal of Substitutability
It states that “If we have two classes A and B such that class B is a subclass of A, it should be
possible to substitute instances of class B for instances of class A in any situation with no
observable effect”
The term subtype is used to refer to a subclass relationship in which the principle of
substitutability is maintained to distinguish such forms from the general subclass relationship,
we may or may not satisfy this principle.
In the example below the class B object is replaced by the object of class A without any error.
This is achieved when a child class is inherited from a base class publicly. In the same example,
if the mode of inheritance is made private the base class object ‘a’ can’t be replaced by the
parent class object ‘a’.
EXAMPLE:
#include<iostream>
class A
{
public:
void display()
{
cout <<"class A";
}
};

class B : public A
{
public:
void display()
{
cout <<"class B";
}
};
void test(A a)
{
a.display();
}
int main()
{
B b;
test(b);// b substituted for object of A.
return 0;
}
Containership/Composition
When a class contains object of another class as its member data, it is termed as
containership. The class which contains the object is called container class. Containership
is also termed as “class within class”.
class A
{
……
……
};
class B
{
…..
A obj1;
…..
};
Here, class B contains object of class A. so that B is the container class.

Program to illustrate the concept of containership
#include<iostream>
class Employee
{
int eid;
float salary;
public:
void getdata()
{
cout<<"Enter id and salary of employee"<<endl;
cin>>eid>>salary;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"Emp ID:"<<eid<<endl;
}
};
class Company
{
char cname[20];
char department[20];
Employee e;
public:
void getdata()
{
e.getdata();
cout<<"Enter company name and Deparment:"<<endl;
cin>>cname>>department;
}
void display()
{
e.display();
cout<<"Company name:"<<cname<<endl;
cout<<"Department:"<<department<<endl;
}
};

int main()
{
Company c;
c.getdata();
c.display();
return 0;
}
In above example class company contains the object of another class employee. As we know
“company has a employee” sounds logical .so there exits has a relationship between company
and employee.
IS A RULE/HAS A RULE OR ( IS A /HAS A RELATIONSHIP)

As we know, One of the advantages of an Object Oriented programming language is code reuse,
however, There are two ways we can do code reuse either by the implementation of
inheritance (IS-A relationship), or object composition (HAS-A relationship).
IS A Relationship HAS A relationship

1. If the first concept is a specialized 1. If the second concept is a component
instance of the second one then there of the first and the two are not in any
exists an “is-a” relationship between sense the same thing then there
them. exists a “has a” relationship between
them.
2. Example: 2. Example:
Car is a vehicle car has a engine.
3. “IS A” Relationship refers 3. “HAS A” Relationship refers to
to Inheritance. composition.
4. ‘Is-a’ relationship asserts the instance 4. In ‘has-a’ relationship class contains

of the subclass must be more object of another class as its member
specialized form of the superclass. data to make it as a whole.
5. class Vehicle 5. class engine{

{ };
class car {
}; engine e; // a car is composed of an
class Car: Public Vehicle engine
{ };
};
class Bus: Public Vehicle
{
};

Inheritance VS. composition
Inheritance Composition
1. In Inheritance derived classes inherit 1. In composition a class contains object
attributes and methods from their of another class as its member data.
parent class.
2. It exhibits “is-a” relationship. 2. It exhibits “has-a” relationship.
3. Example: Car is a vehicle 3. Example: Car has a engine
4. class Vehicle 4. class engine
{ {
}; };
class Car: Public Vehicle class car
{ {
}; engine e;
class Bus: Public Vehicle // a car is composed of an engine
{ };
}
5. Inheritance leads tight coupling 5. In Composition relationship between
between superclass and subclass. class can be decoupled easily .so it is
6. So it is harder to maintain in future. can be easily maintained in future.
7. Inheritance permits polymorphism 6. Composition does not permit

polymorphism.

}
Software reusability
Software reusability is the practice of using existing code for a new software. But in order to
reuse code, that code needs to be high-quality. And that means it should be safe, secure,
reliable, efficient and maintainable.
In OOP, the concept of inheritance provide the idea of reusability. This means that we can add
additional features to an existing class without modifying it. This is possible by deriving a new
class from the existing one. The new class will have the combined features of both the classes.
Reusability can be provided through the concept of composition also. In composition one class
contains the object of another classes to make it as a whole.

Advantages of reusability.
• Re usability enhanced reliability.
•Re usability saves the programmer time and effort.
•As the existing code is reused, it leads to less development and maintenance costs.
•Extensibility as we can extend the already made classes by adding some new features.
•Inheritance makes the sub classes follow a standard interface.
Difficulty in software reusability

•As the number of projects and developers increases, it becomes harder to reuse software. It’s
a challenge to effectively communicate the details and requirements for code reuse.
•As the number of projects and developers grows, it’s difficult to share libraries of reusable
code.
Forms of Inheritance
1. Subclassing for specialization
The new class is a specialized form of the parent class but satisfies the specifications of
the parent class in all relevant aspects.
Example:
Window
DTextEditWindow
 Window class provides the general windowing operations (moving, resizing, iconification
and so on).
 The specialized subclass TextEditWindow inherits the window operations and in
addition provides the facilities that allow window to display textual material and user to
edit the text values.
2. Subclassing for specification
 Here class maintains the common interface (they implement the same methods).
 The parent class can be a combination of implemented operations and
operations that are deferred to the child classes.
 There is no interface change as the child implements the behavior described but
not implemented in parent.

Example:
3. Subclassing for Construction
Here a class can often inherit almost all of its desired functionality from a parent class,
perhaps changing only names of the methods used to interface to the class or modifying
the arguments in a certain fashion.
4. Subclassing for Generalization
 It is opposite to the subclassing for specialization.

 Subclass extends the behavior of parent class to create more general kind of
object.
 It is applicable when we build on a base of existing classes that we do not wish to
or cannot modify.
Consider a graphics display system in which a class Window has been defined for
displaying on a simple black-and-white background. We could create a subtype
ColoredWindow that lets the background color to be something other than white by
adding an additional field to store the color and overriding the inherited window display
code that specifies the background be drawn in that color.
5. Subclassing for extension
 The child class adds the new functionality to the parent class but does not
change any inherited behavior.
 Subclassing for generalization modifies or expands on the existing functionality
of an object whereas subclassing for extension add totally new abilities.

6. Subclassing for limitation
 The child class restricts the use of some of the behaviors inherited from the
parent class.
 Subclassing for limitation occurs when the behavior of subclass is smaller or
more restrictive than the behavior of the parent class.
For example ,an existing class library provides the double-ended queue or deque, data
structure. Elements cab be added or removed form either end of the deque, but a
programmer wishes to write stack class, enforcing the property that elements can be
added to removed from only one end of the stack.
7. Subclassing for variance
Subclassing for variance is employed when two or more classes have similar
implementations but do not seem to posses any hierarchical relationships between
the abstract concept represented by the classes.
Example
Code required to control the mouse may be nearly identical to the code required to
control the graphics tablet. Conceptually there is no reason why class mouse should be
made the subclass of class GraphicsTablet.
A better alternative is to factor out the common code into an abstract class, say
PointingDevice and to have both classes inherit from this parent classes.
8 .Subclassing for Combination
Here, the subclass represents the combination of features from two or more parent
classes .Eg. A teaching assistant may have characteristic of both teacher and
student. This is multiple inheritance.

SUMMARY OF FORMS OF INHERITANCE
Inheritance is used in variety ways according to user’s requirements. The Following are
forms of inheritance.
1) Sub classing for specialization: The child class is the special case of the parent class; in
other words the child class is a subtype of parent class.
2) Sub classing for specification: The parent class defines behavior that is implemented in
child class but not in parent class.
3) Sub classing for construction: The child class makes use of behavior provided by the
parent class but is not a subtype of parent class.
4) Sub classing for generalization: The child class modifies or overrides some of the
methods of the parent class but is not a subtype of parent class.
5) Sub classing for extension: The child class adds new functionality to the parent class but
does not change any inherited behavior.
6) Sub classing for limitation: The child class restricts the use of some of the behavior
inherited from parent class.
7) Sub classing for variance: The child class and parent class are variants of each other and
the class-subclass relationship is arbitrary.
8) Sub classing for combination: The child class inherits features from more than one
parent class. This is multiple inheritance.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Inheritance
Advantages (Pros /Merits)
1) Inheritance strongly supports reusability. The data members and member functions that
are defined at parent class can be reused in base class. So, there is no need to define the
member again.
2) Reusability enhanced reliability. The base class code will be already tested and
debugged.
3) Base class logic can be extend as per business logic of the derived class.
4) Eliminates duplication of code.
5) Reduces development and maintenance costs as well saves time and efforts.
6) Program structure is short and concise which is more reliable.
7) Codes are easy to debug. Inheritance allows the program to capture the bugs easily
8) With inheritance, we will be able to override the methods of the base class so that
meaningful implementation of the base class method can be designed in the derived
class.
9) It is easy to partition the work in a project based on objects.
10) Object oriented systems can be easily upgraded from small to large system.
11) Software complexity can be easily managed.
Disadvantages (Cons/Demerits)
1) Main disadvantage of using inheritance is that the two classes (base and inherited class)
get tightly coupled. This means one cannot be used independent of each other.
2) A change in base class will affect all the child classes.
3) It increases the time and efforts take to jump through different levels of the
inheritance.so it reduces execution speed.
4) Often, data members in the base class are left unused which may lead to memory
wastage.
5) Inappropriate usage of inheritance will cause complexity in program
6) If the methods in the super class are deleted then it is very difficult to maintain the
functionality of the child class which has implemented the super class’s method.
7) Also with time, during maintenance adding new features both base as well as derived
classes are required to be changed. If a method signature is changed then we will be
affected in both cases (inheritance & composition)

least one constructor which uses base class constructor. Create member function showdata()

CHAPTER 5
POLYMORPHISM
Introduction:
 Polymorphism means ‘One name-multiple forms’
 Greek word “poly” means many and “morphos” means form.
 C++ polymorphism means that a call to member function will cause a different function
to be executed depending on the type of object invokes the functions.
 There are two types of polymorphism. They are compile time polymorphism and
runtime polymorphism.
Compile time Polymorphism

 Compile time polymorphism means that an object is bound to its function call at
compile time.
 In this type of polymorphism Compiler is able to select the appropriate function for
particular function call at compile time.
 This mechanism is also called early binding or static binding or static linking.
 Compile time polymorphism is achieved in two ways.
 Function overloading
 Operator overloading

Runtime Polymorphism
 The selection of appropriate function is done dynamically at runtime.
 Thus it is not known which function will be invoked till an object actually makes a
function call during program execution.
 This mechanism is also called late binding or dynamic binding.
 Runtime polymorphism can be achieved with the help of virtual functions.
Function Overloading
 The method of using same function name but with different parameter list along with
different data type to perform the variety of different tasks is known as function
overloading.
 The correct function is to be invoked is determined by checking the number and type of
arguments but not function return type.
#include<iostream>
class calcarea
{
public:
int area(int);
int area(int,int);
float area(float);
};
int calcarea::area(int s)
{
return(s*s);
}
int calcarea::area(int l,int b)
{
return(l*b);
}
float calcarea::area(float r)
{
return(3.14*r*r);
}
int main()
{
calcarea c1,c2,c3;
cout<<"Area of square="<<c1.area(5)<<endl;
cout<<"Area of Rectangle="<<c2.area(5,10)<<endl;
cout<<"Area of Circle="<<c3.area(2.5f)<<endl;
return 0;}

Operator overloading
 The mechanism of adding special meaning to an operator is called operator overloading.
 It provides a flexibility for the creation of new definitions for most C++ operators.
 Using operator overloading we can give additional meaning to normal C++ operations
such as (+,-,=,<=,+= etc.) when they are applied to user defined data types.
Things to be understand
 Usually Operations can perform only on basic data type. Example int a,b,c;
c=a+b; But if we declare a class complex {} and complex c1,c2,c3 ;
c3=c1+c2;is not possible because object is user defined data type.
 Operator overloading helps to define usuage of operator for user defined data type i.e.
objects.
 After overloading operands used with operator are objects instead of basic data types.
Operators that cannot be overloaded

All operators are not overloaded. The operators that are not overloaded are:
 Class member access operators(. , .*)

 Scope resolution Operator (::)
 Sizeof operator(sizeof)
 Conditional Operator(?:)
General form of Operator function

The general form of operator function
return_type operator op(arglist)
{
function body //task defined
}
OR
return_type classname::operator op(arglist)
{
function body //task defined
}

Where,
 return_type is the type of value returned by the specified operation.

 op is the operator being overloaded.
 Operator op is function name, where operator is keyword.
Note:
 Operator function must be either member function (non-static) or friend function.
 Friend function will have only one argument for unary operators and two for binary
operators.
 Member function has no arguments for unary operators and only one for binary
operators.
This is because the object used to invoke the member function is passed implicitly and
therefore available for member function. This is not the case with friend functions.
Arguments may be passed either by value or by reference. Operator functions are declared in
class using prototype as follows.
vector operator+(vector); //vector addition
vector operator-(); //unary minus
friend vector operator+(vector,vector); //vector addition
friend vector operator-(vector); //unary minus
vector operator-(vector &a); //subtraction
int operator==(vector); //comparison
friend int operator==(vector,vector); //comparison
vector is a datatype of class and may represent both magnitude and direction (as in physics and
engineering) or a series of points called elements(as in mathematics).
The process of overloading involves the following steps:

1. Create a class that defines the data type that is used in the overloading function.
2. Declare the operator function operator op() in the public part of class. It may be either a
member function or a friend function.
3. Define operator function to implement the required operations.

Operator overloaded function can be invoked using expression such as:
In case of member function In case of friend function
For unary operators op x or x op op x or x op

(eg.++x, or x++) (eg.++x, or x++)
x.operator op(); operator op(x)
For binary x op y x op y
operators eg x+y eg x+y
x.operator op(y); operator op(x,y)
Note:
 Here op represents the operator being overloaded.
 x and y represents the object.

Overloading Unary Operators
Unary operators operates on single operand. Some of unary operators are
 Increment operator (++)

 Decrement operator (--)
 Unary minus operator(-)
Eg. ++a ; Here a is only one operand.
Overloading unary minus Operator

Overloading unary minus using member function
#include<iostream>

Type conversion:
 Type conversion is converting one type of data to another type.
 Compiler automatically converts basic to another basic data type (for eg int to float,
float to int etc.) by applying type conversion rule provided by the compiler.
 The type of data to the right of the assignment operator (=) is automatically converted
to the type of variable on the left.
For example:
The statements:
int m;
float x=3.14159
m=x;
Value stored in m is 3 because, here the fractional part is truncated.
Compiler does not support automatic type conversion for user defined data type. Therefore, we
must design conversion routines for the type conversion of user defined data type.
There are three possible type conversions are:
 Conversion from basic type to class type

 Conversion from class type to basic type
 Conversion from one class type to another class type

Conversion from basic to class type (basic to user defined type)
The constructor is used for the type conversion takes the single argument which type is to be
converted.
Example1:
#include<iostream>
class time
{
int hours;
int minutes;
public:
time(int t)
{
hours=t/60;
minutes=t%60;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"Hours="<<hours<<endl;
cout<<"Minutes="<<minutes<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
int duration=65;
time t1=duration;
t1.display();
return 0;
}
After conversion, the hours members of t1 contains the value 1and minutes member contains
the value 5,denoting 1 hours and 5 minutes.

Example 2:
Program to convert meter to feet and inches using (Basic to class type conversion)
#include <iostream>
class dist
{
private:
int feet;
float inches ;
public:
dist()
{
}
dist(float m)
{
float f=3.28083*m ;
feet=int(f) ;
inches=12*(f-feet) ;
}
void display()
{
cout<<feet<<"feet"<<inches<<"inches"<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
float meter=12.5;
dist d1;
d1=meter;
d1.display();
}
Make a class called memory with member data to represent bytes, kilobytes, and megabytes.
in your program, you should be able to use statements like m1=1087665;
where m1 is an object of class memory and 1087665 is an integer representing some arbitrary
number of bytes. Your program should display memory in a standard format like: 1
megabytes 38 kilobytes 177 bytes.

#include<iostream>
class memory
{
int mb;
int kb;
int byte;
public:
memory()
{}
memory(long int m)
{
int rem;
mb=m/(1024*1024);
rem=m%(1024*1024);
kb=rem/1024;
byte=rem%1024;
}
void display()
{
cout<<mb<<"megabytes"<<endl;
cout<<kb<<"kilobytes"<<endl;
cout<<byte<<"bytes"<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
memory m1;
long int m=1087665;
m1=m;
m1.display();
return 0;
}
Class to Basic type
C++ allows us to define an overloaded casting operator that could be used to convert a class
data type to basic type. The general form of an overloaded casting operator function, usually
referred to as an conversion function is:
operator typename()
{
....... .
//function statemets
..... ...
}

The function converts a class type to typename. For example,the operator int() converts an
class object to type int,operator float() converts the class type object to float and so on.
The casting operator function should satisfy the following conditions.
 It must be a class member.

 It must specify return type.
 It must not have any arguments.
Example:
#include<iostream>
class item
{
private:
float price;
int quantity;
public:
item(float p,int q)
{
price=p;
quantity=q;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"Price of items="<<price<<endl;
cout<<"Quantity of items="<<quantity<<endl;
}
operator float()
{
return (price*quantity);
}
};
int main()
{
item i1(255.5,10);
float total;
i1.display();
total=i1;
cout<<"Total amount="<<total<<endl;
return 0;
}

Example 2:
Program to convert feet and inches into meter (class to basic type conversion)
#include <iostream>
class dist
{
int feet;
float inches;
public:
dist(int f, float i)
{
feet=f;
inches=i;
}
void display()
{
cout<<feet<< "feet"<<inches<<"inches"<<endl;
}
operator float()
{
float f=inches/12 ;
f=f+feet ;
return(f/3.28083);
}
};
int main( )
{
dist d1(5,3.6) ;
float m=d1;
cout<<"Distance in feet and inches:"<<endl;
d1.display();
cout<<"Distance in meter="<<m<<endl;
return 0;
}

One class to another class type
Define type conversion. Explain with conversion from one class type to another class type.
[PU: 2016 fall]
We can convert one class type data to another class type.

Example:
objX=objY; //objects of different classes
ObjX is an object of class X and objY is an object of class Y. The class Y type data is converted to
the class X type data and the converted value is assigned to the objX. Since the conversion takes
place from class Y to class X,Y is known as source class and X is known as destination class.
Such conversions between objects of different classes can be carried out by either a constructor
or a conversion function.
Note:
 Conversion form a class to any other type (or any other class) should make use of
casting operator function in the source class.
 On the other hand to perform the conversion from any other type /class type
constructor should be used in destination class.

Pointer to objects (object pointer)
The pointer pointing to objects are referred to as object pointer.
Declaration
Class_name *object_pointer_name;
Eg. student *ptr;
Here, ptr is an object pointer of student class type has been declared. where ,student is already
defined class.
Initialization
object_pointer_name=&object;
Eg. ptr=&st;
Here, ptr is an object pointer of student class type and st is an object of class student.
Note: When accessing members of class using object pointer the arrow operator (->)
is used instead to dot operator.
Example:
#include<iostream>
class student
{
private:
char name[20];
int roll;
public:
void getdata()
{
cout<<"Enter student Name"<<endl;
cin>>name;
cout<<"Enter student Rollno"<<endl;
cin>>roll;
}

void display()
{
cout<<"Rollno:"<<roll<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
student st;
student *ptr;
ptr=&st;
ptr->getdata();
ptr->display();
return 0;
}
Creating objects at runtime using object pointers

Object pointers are also used to create the object at runtime by using it with new operator as
follows:
Eg. item *ptr=new item;
This statement allocates the enough memory space for the object and assigns the address of
the memory space to ptr.
We can also create an array of objects using pointers. For example, the statement
item *ptr=new item[10];
Creates memory space for an array of 10 objects of item.
Program:
#include<iostream>
class item
{
private:
int code;
float price;

public:
void getdata(int c,float p)
{
code=c;
price=p;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"Price="<<price<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
int n,i,x;
float y;
cout<<"Enter the number of item"<<endl;
cin>>n;
item *ptr=new item[n];
item *d=ptr; //&ptr[0]
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
cout<<"Input code and price of item"<<endl;
cin>>x>>y;
ptr->getdata(x,y);
ptr++;
}
for(i=0;i<n;i++)
{
cout<<"Item:"<<i+1<<endl;
d->display();
d++;
}
return 0;
}

Pointer to derived class
Can you derive a pointer from a base class? Explain with suitable example
Yes, we can derive a pointer from a base class. Pointers to object of base class are type
compactible with pointer to objects of the derived class. Therefore, a single pointer variable can
be made to point to objects belonging to different classes. For example, if B is a base class and
D is the derived class from B, then a pointer declared as a pointer to B can also be a pointer to
D. consider the following declarations.
B *bptr; //pointer to class B type variable
B b; //base object
D d; //derived object
bptr=&b; //bptr points to object b
We can make bptr to point to the object d as follows:
bptr=&d; //bptr points to object d
This is perfectly valid with C++ because d is an object derived from the class B.
Although C++ permits a base pointer to point to any object derived from that base, the pointer
cannot be directly used to access all the members of the derived class. we can access only those
members which are inherited from B and not the members that originally belong to D. We may
have to use another pointer declared as pointer to derived type.
Program:
#include<iostream>
class B
{
public:
int x;
void display()
{
}
};

class D:public B
{
public:
int y;
void display()
{
}
};
int main ()
{
B b1;
B *bptr; //base pointer
bptr=&b1; //base address
bptr->x = 10; //access B via base pointer
cout<<"bptr points to base object"<<endl;
bptr->display();
D d1;
bptr=&d1; //address of derived object
bptr->x=10; //access D via base pointer
//bptr->y = 20; wont work
cout<<"bptr now points to derived object"<<endl;
bptr->display(); //access to base class function
D *dptr; //derived type pointer

dptr=&d1;
dptr->y=20;
cout<<"dptr is a derived type pointer"<<endl;
dptr->display();
cout<<"using ((D*)bptr)"<<endl;
((D*)bptr)->y=30;
((D*)bptr)->display();
return 0;
}
The statements,
dptr->display();
((D*)bptr)->display(); //cast bptr to D type
Displays the contents of derived object.

This shows that, although a base pointer cannot directly access the members defined by a
derived class. But it can be made to point any number of derived objects, so that we can access
all the members of derived class.
Alternative program for pointer to Derived objects:

#include<iostream>
class B
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"Base class"<<endl;
}
};
class D:public B
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"Derived class"<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
B b1;
B *bptr; //base pointer
bptr=&b1; //base address
cout<<"bptr points to base object"<<endl;
bptr->display();
D d1;
bptr=&d1; //address of derived object
cout<<"bptr now points to derived object"<<endl;
bptr->display(); //access to base class member
D *dptr;
dptr=&d1;
cout<<"dptr is a derived type pointer"<<endl;
dptr->display();

cout<<"Using ((*D)btpr)"<<endl;
((D*)bptr)->display();
return 0;
}
this pointer
 this pointer stores the address of current calling object.
 For example the function call A.max() will set the pointer this to the address of the
object A.
 The starting address is the same as the address of the first variable in the class structure.
 this pointer is automatically passed to a member function when it is called. The pointer
this acts as an implicit argument to all member function.
 this pointers are not accessible for static member functions.
 this pointers are not modifiable.
Application:
1. this pointer can be used to refer current class instance variable.
Example:
#include<iostream>
class Employee
{
private:
int eid;
float salary;
public:
Employee(int eid,float salary)
{
this->eid=eid;
this->salary=salary;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"Employee ID="<<eid<<endl;
}
};

int main()
{
Employee e1(101,25452.55);
Employee e2(102,54485.25);
e1.display();
e2.display();
return 0;
}
2. One important application of the pointer this is to return the objects it points to.
For example, the statement
return *this;
inside a member function will return the object that invoked the function.
Example:
#include<iostream>
#include<string.h>
class person
{
char name[20];
float age;
public:
person()
{
}
person (char n[],float a)
{
strcpy(name,n);
age=a;
}
person greater(person x)
{
if(x.age>=age)
{
return x;
}
else
{
return *this;
}
}

void display()
{
}
};
int main()
{
person p1("Ram",52);
person p2("Hari",24);
person p3;
p3=p1.greater(p2);
cout<<"Elder person is:"<<endl;
p3.display();
return 0;
}
Things to be understand:
In addition to the explicit parameters in their argument lists, every class member function
(method) receives an additional hidden parameter, the "this" pointer. The "this" pointer
addresses the object on which the method was called. Thus, this pointer is used as a pointer to
the class object instance by the member function.
Each object maintains its own set of data members, but all objects of a class share a single set of
methods. This is, a single copy of each method exists within the machine code that is the output
of compilation and linking. A natural question is then if only a single copy of each method exists,
and its used by multiple objects, how are the proper data members accessed and updated. The
compiler uses the "this" pointer to internally reference the data members of a particular object.
The member functions of every object have access to a pointer named this, which points to the
object itself. When we call a member function, it comes into existence with the value of this set
to the address of the object for which it was called. The this pointer can be treated like any other
pointer to an object

Virtual Functions
 Virtual means existing in appearance but not in reality.

 Virtual function is declared by using a keyword ‘virtual’ preceding the normal
declaration of a function.
 When a function is made virtual, C++ determines which function to use at run time
based on the type of object pointed by the base pointer rather than the type of pointer.
 It is used to tell the compiler to perform dynamic linkage or late binding on the function.
 There is a necessity to use the single pointer to refer to all the objects of the different
classes. So, we create the pointer to the base class that refers to all the derived objects.
 When base class pointer contains the address of the derived class object, always
executes the base class function. Here, the compiler simply ignores the contents of the
(base) pointer and chooses the member function that matches the type of the pointer.
 This issue can only be resolved by using the 'virtual' function. When the function is made
virtual, C++ determines which function is to be invoked at the runtime based on the
type of the object pointed by the base class pointer. In this way runtime polymorphism
can also achieved.
#include<iostream>
class B
{
public:
virtual void show()
{
cout<<"Show base"<<endl;
}
};
class D:public B
{
public:
void show()
{
cout<<"Show derived"<<endl;
}
};

int main()
{
B b1;
D d1;
B *bptr;
cout<<"bptr points to base"<<endl;
bptr=&b1;
bptr->show(); //calls base class function
cout<<"bptr points to derived"<<endl;
bptr=&d1;
bptr->show(); //calls derived class function
return 0;
}
Rules of Virtual Function

 The virtual functions must be members of some class.
 They cannot be static members.
 They are accessed by using object pointers.
 A virtual function can be a friend of another class.
 A virtual function must be defined in the base class, even though it is not used.
 The prototypes of a virtual function of the base class and all the derived classes must be
identical. If the two functions with the same name but different prototypes, C++ will
consider them as the overloaded functions.
 We cannot have a virtual constructor, but we can have a virtual destructor.
 While a base pointer can point to any of the derived object, the reverse is not true. That
is to say. We cannot use a pointer to derived class to access an object of base type.
1. What is virtual function? When and how to we make function virtual? Explain with
suitable example. PU:2010 spring]
A virtual function is a member function declared in base class with keyword virtual and uses a
single pointer to base class pointer to refer to object of different classes.
When we use the same function name in both base and derived classes, the function in base
class is declared as virtual using the keyword virtual preceding its normal declaration. When a
function is made virtual, C++ determines which function is use at runtime based on the type of
object pointed to by the base pointer, rather than the type of the pointer. Thus by making the
base pointer to point object of different versions of the virtual functions.

When virtual functions are used, a program that appears to be calling a function of one class
may in reality be calling a function of a different class. Furthermore, when we use virtual
functions, different functions can be executed by the same function call. The information
regarding which function to invoke is determined at run time.
Program:
#include<iostream>
class B
{
public:
virtual void show()
{
}
};
class D:public B
{
public:
void show()
{
}
};
int main()
{
B b1;
D d1;
B *bptr;
bptr=&b1;
bptr=&d1;
return 0;
}

2. What happens when a base and derived classes have same functions with same
name and these are accessed using pointers with and without using virtual functions.
#include<iostream>
class B
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"Display base"<<endl;
}
virtual void show()
{
}
};
class D:public B
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"Display derived"<<endl;
}
void show()
{
}
};
int main()
{
B b1;
D d1;
B *bptr;
bptr=&b1;
bptr->display(); //calls base class function
bptr=&d1;
bptr->display(); //calls base class function
return 0;
}

Output:
bptr points to the base
Display base
Show base
bptr points to derived
Display base
Show derived
Note:
When bptr is made to point the object d (ie. bptr=&d1),

the statement
bptr->display();
Calls only the function associated with the B. (ie.B::display())
This is because compiler actually ignores the content of the pointer bptr and chooses a
member function that matches the type of the pointer.
whereas the statement
bptr->show();
calls the derived version of show().This is because function show() has been made virtual in
Base class.
This is because first the base pointer has address of the base class object, then its content is
changed to contain the address of the derived object.
3. How can you achieve runtime polymorphism in C++? Discuss with suitable example.
We should use virtual functions and pointers to objects to achieve run time
polymorphism. For this, we use functions having same name, same number of
parameters, and similar type of parameters in both base and derived classes. The
function in the base class is declared as virtual using the keyword virtual.
A virtual function uses a single pointer to base class pointer to refer to all the derived objects.
When a function in the base class is made virtual, C++ determines which function to use at run
time based on the type of object pointed by the base class pointer, rather than the type
of the pointer

#include<iostream>
class base
{
public:
virtual void show()
{
cout<<"Base Class Show function"<<endl;
}
};
class derived:public base
{
public:
void show()
{
cout<<"Derived Class Show function "<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
base b1,*bptr;
derived d1;
bptr=&b1;
bptr->show();
bptr=&d1;
bptr->show();
return 0;
}
Output:
Base Class Show function
Derived Class Show function
A bookshop sells both books and video tapes. Create an abstract class known as media that
stores the title and price of a publication. Create two child classes one for storing the number
of pages in a book and another for storing the playing time of a tape. A function display is
used in all the classes to display the class contents. Create necessary constructors in the child
classes to store the information. In the main display the information regarding the book and
tape using the base pointer (an object pointer of the class media)

#include<iostream>
#include<string.h>
class media
{
protected:
char title[20];
float price;
public:
media(char t[], float p)
{
strcpy(title,t);
price = p;
}
virtual void display() = 0;
};
class book : public media
{
int pages;
public:
book(char t[], float p, int pag):media(t,p)
{
pages = pag;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"Title:"<<title<<endl;
cout<<"Price:"<<price<<endl;
cout<<"Pages:"<<pages<<endl;
}
};
class tape:public media
{
int time;
public:
tape(char t[], float p, int tm):media(t,p)
{
time = tm;
}

void display( )
{
cout <<"Title:"<<title<<endl;
cout <<"Price:"<<price<<endl;
cout <<"play time(mins):"<<time<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
media *m[2];
book b("OOP",550.25,350);
tape t("computing concepts",255.6,55);
m[0] = &b;
cout<<"Information of Book:"<<endl;
m[0]->display();
cout<<"Information of media:"<<endl;
m[1] = &t;
m[1]->display();
return 0;
}
Pure virtual function (Deferred methods/Abstract methods)
 A virtual function will become pure virtual function when we append "=0" at the end of
declaration of virtual function.
Example: virtual void display() =0;
 Pure virtual functions are also known as “do-nothing “functions.
 A pure virtual function is a function declared in a base class that has no definition
(implementation/body).
 It serves only as a placeholder.
 The child classes are allowed to inherit them.
 In this situation, the compiler requires each derived class to either define the function or
re-declare it as a pure virtual function. Otherwise the compilation error will occur.
Program:
#include<iostream>
class Book
{
public:
virtual void display()=0;
};

class Math:public Book
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"We are studying Math "<<endl;
}
};
class OOP:public Book

{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"We are studying OOP"<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
Book *bptr;
Math m;
OOP o;
bptr=&m;
bptr->display();
bptr=&o;
bptr->display();
return 0;
}
Abstract class
 A class having at least one pure virtual function is called an abstract class.
 The object of abstract classes cannot be created.
 Pointers to abstract class can be created for selecting the proper virtual function.
 An abstract class is designed to act only as base class .It is a design concept in program
development and provides a base upon which program is built.
 Sometimes implementation of all function cannot be provided in a base class because
we don’t know the implementation. For example, let Shape be a base class. We cannot
provide implementation of function draw() in Shape, but we know every derived class
must have implementation of draw().In this case concept of abstract class is used.

Example:
#include<iostream>
class shape
{
public:
virtual void draw()=0;
};
class square:public shape

{
public:
void draw()
{
cout<<"Implementing method to draw square"<<endl;
}
};
class circle:public shape
{
public:
void draw()
{
cout<<"Implementing method to draw circle"<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
shape *bptr;
square s;
circle c;
bptr=&s;
bptr->draw();
bptr=&c;
bptr->draw();
return 0;
}

Function overriding (Overriding base class members)
If we inherit a class into the derived class and provide a definition for one of the base class's
function again inside the derived class, then that function is said to be overridden, and this
mechanism is called Function Overriding.
Requirements for Overriding a Function
 Inheritance should be there. Function overriding cannot be done within a class. For this
we require a derived class and a base class.
 Function that is redefined must have exactly the same declaration in both base and
derived class, that means same name, same return type and same parameter list.
#include<iostream>
class A
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"This is Base class"<<endl;
}
};
class B : public A
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"This is Derived class"<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
B b;
b.display();
return 0;
}
Here, the function display() is overridden.
If the function is invoked from an object of the derived class, then the function in
the derived is executed.
If the function is invoked from an object of the base class, then the base class
member function is invoked.

Virtual Destructors
A constructors cannot be virtual due to the following reasons.
 To create an object of the constructor of the object class must be of the same type as
class. But it is not possible with virtually implemented constructor.
 At the time of calling constructor, the virtual table would not have been to create any
function calls.
Whereas destructor can be virtual.
Let’s first see what happens when we do not have a virtual Base class destructor.
class Base
{
public:
~Base()
{
cout << "Base class destructor"<<endl;
}
};
class Derived:public Base

{
public:
~Derived()
{
cout<< "Derived class destructor"<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
Base* ptr = new Derived; //Base class pointer points to derived class object
delete ptr;
}
Output:
Base class Destructor
In the above example, delete ptr will only call the Base class destructor, which is undesirable
because, then the object of Derived class remains un-destructed, because its destructor is
never called. Which leads to memory leak situation.

To make sure that the derived class destructor is mandatory called, we make base class
destructor as virtual
class Base
{
public:
virtual ~Base()
{
cout << "Base class destructor"<<endl;
}
};
Output:.
Derived class Destructor
Base class Destructor
When we have Virtual destructor inside the base class, then first Derived class's destructor is
called and then Base class's destructor is called, which is the desired behavior.

CHAPTER 6
Templates and Generic Programming
Templates
 Template new concept that enables us to define generic classes and functions and thus
provides support for generic programming.
 Generic programming is an approach where generic types are used as parameters in
algorithms so that they work for a variety of suitable data types and data structures.
 A template can be used to create a family of classes or functions .For example, a class
template for an array class enables us to create array of various data types such as int
array or a float array. We can define template for a function, say mul(),that would help
us create various versions of mul() for multiplying int, float and double type values.
 A template can be considered as a kind of a macro .When an object of a specific type is
defined for actual use the template definition for that class is substituted with the
required data type. since, a template is defined with a parameter that would be
replaced by a specified data type at the time of actual use of the class or function. So a
templates are also called a parameterized classes or functions.
There are two types of templates:
1. Function Templates
2. Class Templates
CLASS TEMPLATE
We can create class templates for generic class operations. Sometimes, we need a class
implementation that is same for all classes, only the data types used are different. Normally, we
would need to create a different class for each data type or create different member variables
and functions within a single class. This promotes the coding redundancy and will be hard to
maintain, as a change is one class/function should be performed on all classes/functions.
However, class templates make it easy to reuse the same code for all data types.
The general format of class template is
template <class T>

class class_name
{
//class member specification
//with anonymous type T
//whenever appropriate
}

The prefix template <class T> tells the compiler that we are going to declare a template
and use T as the type name in the declaration. T may be substituted by any data type including
the user defined types.
While creating object of class, it is necessary to mention which type of data is used
in that object.
Syntax for creating object

The syntax for creating an object of a template class is
Class_name <datatype> objectname;
Example:
 For integer data example <int> e1; Here e1 is object of class example
 For float data example <float> e2; Here e2is object of class example
 For char data example <char> e3; Here e3 is object of class example

Function template
 Function template can be used to create a family of functions with different argument
types.
 A single function template can work with different data types.
 Any type of function argument is accepted by the function.
The general format of function template is:
template <class T>

return_type function_name(arguments of type T)
{
……………………
//body of function with type T
//wherever appropriate
……………………
}

Overloading of template functions
A template function may be overloaded either by template functions or ordinary functions of its
name. In such cases, the overloading resolution is accomplished as follows.
1. Calling an ordinary function that must exact match

2. Call the template function that could be created with an exact match
3. Try normal overloading resolution to ordinary functions and the calls the one that
matches.
An error is generated if no match is found. Note that no automatic conversions are applied to
arguments on the template functions. Program below shows how a template function is
overloaded with explicit function.

Template function with Explicit Function
#include<iostream>
#include<string.h>
template <class T>
void display(T x)
{
cout<<"Overloaded Template Display1:"<<x<<endl;
}

void display(T1 x,T2 y)
{
cout<<"Overloaded Template Display2:"<<x<<" "<<y<<endl;
}
void display(int x)
{
cout<<"Explicit display:"<<x<<endl;
}
int main()
{
display(100);
display(12.34);
display(100,15.4);
display('C’);
return 0;
}
Output:
Explicit display:100
Overloaded Template Display1:12.34
Overloaded Template Display2:100,12.34
Overloaded Template Display1:C

Merit and demerit of using template in C++
Merit
 C++ templates enable us to define a family of functions or classes that can operate on
different types of information.
 We can use templates in situations that result in duplication of the same code for
multiple types. For example, we can use function templates to create a set of functions
that apply the same algorithm to different data types.
 Deliver fast, efficient, and robust code
 Easy to use
 When we use templates in combination with STL – it can drastically reduce development
time.
Demerit
 Historically, some compilers exhibited poor support for templates. So, the use of
templates could decrease code portability.
 Automatically generated source code can become overwhelmingly huge.
 Compile-time processing of templates can be extremely time consuming.
 It can be difficult to debug code that is developed using templates. Since the compiler
replaces the templates, it becomes difficult for the debugger to locate the code at
runtime.
 Templates are in the headers, which require a complete rebuild of all project pieces
when changes are made.
 Many compilers lack clear instructions when they detect a template definition error.
This can increase the effort of developing templates, and has prompted the
development of Concepts for possible inclusion in a future C++ standard.
 No information hiding. All code is exposed in the header file. No one library can solely
contain the code .
 Though STL itself is a collection of template classes, templates are not used to write
conventional libraries.

Exception handling
 Exceptions are runtime anomalies or unusual condition that a program may encounter
while executing. Anomalies might include conditions such as division by zero, access to
an array outside of its bounds, or running out of memory space or disk space.
 The exception handling is a mechanism to detect and report an “exceptional
circumstances “at runtime, so that appropriate action can be taken. It provides a type-
safe, integrated approach, for coping with the unusual predictable problems that arise
while executing a program.
Types of Exceptions
 Exceptions are basically of two types namely, synchronous and asynchronous

exceptions.
 Errors such as “out of range index” and “over flow” belongs to synchronous type
exceptions.
 The errors that are caused by the events beyond the control of program (such as
keyboard interrupts) are called asynchronous exceptions.
 The exception handling mechanism in C++ can handle only synchronous exceptions.
The exception handling mechanism suggests a separate error handling code that
performs the following tasks.
1. Find the problem (Hit the exception)
2. Inform the error has occurred (Throw the exception)
3. Receive the error information (Catch the exception)
4. Take the corrective action (Handle the exception)
The error handling code mainly consists of two segments, one to detect error and throw
exceptions and other to catch the exceptions and to take appropriate actions.
C++ exception handling mechanism is basically built upon three keywords namely try, throw
and catch.
1. The keyword try is used to preface a block of statements (surrounded by braces) which
may generate exception. This block of statement is known as try block.
2. When as exception is detected, it is thrown using a throw statement in the try block.
3. A catch block defined by the keyword catch, catches the exception thrown by the throw
statement in the try block and handles it appropriately.

try
{
............... ..
//block of statements which detects and throw an exceptions
throw exception;
}
catch(type arg ) //catch the exception
{
// Block of statements that handles the exceptions
}
When the try block throws an exception, the program control leaves the try block and enters
the catch statement of the catch block. If the type of object thrown matches the arg type in the
catch statement, then the catch block is executed for handling the exception. If they do not
match, the program is aborted with the help of abort() function which is executed implicitly by

the compiler. When no exception is detected and thrown, the control goes to the statement
immediately after the catch blocks That is ,catch block is skipped.
Program:
#include<iostream>
int main()
{
int a,b,x;
cout<<"Enter values of a and b"<<endl;
cin >> a>>b;
x=a-b;
try
{
if(x!=0)
{
cout << "Result (a/x)="<< a/x <<endl;
}
else
{
throw(x); //throws an object
}
}
catch(int i) //catches an exception
{
cout<< "Exception caught:DIVIDE BY ZERO"<<endl;
}
cout << "END";
return 0;
}
Output:
First Run:
Enter values of a and b

20 15
Result(a/x)=4
END
Second Run:
Enter values of a and b

10 10
Exception caught: DIVIDE BY ZERO
END

Multiple catch statements
It is possible that a program segment has more than one condition to throw an exception.
In such cases ,we can associate more than one catch statement with a try (much like conditions
in switch statement) as shown below.
try
{
//try block
}
catch(type1 arg)
{
//Catch block1
}
catch(type2 arg)
{
//catch block2
}
. . . . .. . . . . . . .
catch(typeN arg)
{
Catch block N
}
When an exception is thrown, the exception handlers are searched in order for an appropriate
match. The first handler that yields a match is executed. After executing the handler, the
control goes to the first statement after the last catch block for that try. When no match is
found, the program is terminated.
It is possible that arguments of several catch statements match the type of an exception. In
such cases the first handler that matches the exception type is executed.
Example of program where multiple catch statements are used to handle various types of
exceptions.
Write a program that catches multiple exceptions.[PU:2016 spring]

#include<iostream>
void test(int x)
{
try
{
if(x==1)
throw x;
else if(x==0)
throw 'x';
else if (x==-1)
throw 1.0;
cout<<"End of try-block"<<endl;
}
catch(char c)
{
cout<<"caught a character"<<endl;
}
catch(int m)
{
cout<<"Caught an integer"<<endl;
}
catch(double d)
{
cout<<"Caught a double"<<endl;
}
cout<<"End of try-catch system"<<endl;
}
int main()
{
cout<<"Testing multiple catches"<<endl;
cout<<"x==1"<<endl;
test(1);
cout<<"x==0"<<endl;
test(0);
cout<<"x==-1"<<endl;
test(-1);
cout<<"x==2"<<endl;
test(2);
return 0;
}

Output:
Testing multiple catches

x==1
Caught an integer
End of try-catch system
x==0
Caught a character
x==-1
Caught a double
x==2
End of try-block
Functions throwing an exception

Most often, exceptions are thrown by functions that are invoked from within try blocks. The
point at which the throw is executed is called throw point. Once an exception is thrown to the
catch block, control cannot return to the throw point. This kind of relationship is as shown in
figure.

The general format of code for this kind of relationship is as shown in figure.
type function(arg list)

{
.......... .
....... ... .
throw(object);
............
.............
}
...........
..........
try
{
...........
. . . . . . . . . . . Invoke function here
. . . . . . . .. . . .
}
catch(type arg)
{
. . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .
. . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . .Handles exception here
. . . .. . .. . .. . . … .. . .
}
. . . . .. . .,. . . . . . .
Note:
Catch block must be immediately after try block without any code between them.

Invoking function that generates exception
#include<iostream>
void divide(int x,int y,int z)
{
cout<<"We are inside the function"<<endl;
if((x-y)!=0)
{
int r=z/(x-y);
cout<<"Result="<<r<<endl;
}
else
{
throw(x-y);// throw point;
}
}
int main()
{
try
{
cout<<"We are inside the try block"<<endl;
divide(10,20,30);
divide(10,10,20);
}
catch(int i)
{
cout<<"caught an exception"<<endl;
}
return 0;
}
Output:
We are inside the try block

We are inside the function
Result=-3
We are inside the function
Caught an exception

Rethrowing an exception
A handler may decide to rethrow the execption caught without processing it. In such situations,
we may simply invoke throw without any arguments as shown below.
throw;
This causes the current exception to be thrown to the next enclosing try/catch sequence an is
caught by a catch statement listed after that enclosing try block. Program demonstrates how
an exception is rethrown and caught.
#include<iostream>
void divide(double x,double y)
{
cout<<"Inside function"<<endl;
try
{
if(y==0)
throw y;
else
cout<<"Division="<<x/y<<endl;
}
catch(double)
{
cout<<"caught double inside function"<<endl;
throw;
}
cout<<"End of function"<<endl;
}
int main()
{
cout<<"Inside main" <<endl;
try
{
divide(10.5,2.0);
divide(20.0,0.0);
}
catch(double)
{
cout<<"caught double inside main"<<endl;
}
cout<<"End of main"<<endl;
return 0;
}

Output:
Inside main
Inside function
Division=5.25
End of function
Inside function
Caught double inside function
Caught double inside main
End of main
When an exception is rethrown, it will not be caught by the same catch statement or any other
catch in that group. Rather, it will be caught by an appropriate catch in the outer try/catch
sequence only.
A catch handler itself may detect and throw an exception. Here again, the exception thrown will
not be caught by any catch statements in that group. It will be passed on to the next outer
try/catch sequence for processing.
Standard Template Library

 In order to help the C++ users in generic programming, Alexander Stepanov and Meng
Lee of Hewlett-Packard developed a set of general purpose templatized class (data
structure) and functions (algorithms) that could be used as a standard approach of
storing and processing of data. The collection of these generic classes and functions is
called the Standard Template Library (STL).
 It helps to save C++ users’ time and effort there by helping to produce high
quality programs.
Components of STL:
The STL contains several components .But at its core are three key compoents. They are
1. Containers
2. Algorithms
3. Iterators
These three components work in conjunction with one another to provide support to a
variety of programming solutions. The relationship between the three components is as
shown in figure below. Algorithms employ iterators to perform operation stored in
containers.

 A container is an object that actually stores data. It is a way in which data is organized in
memory. The STL containers are implemented by template classes and therefore can be
easily customized to hold different types of data.
 An algorithm is a procedure used to process the data contained in the containers. The
STL includes many different kinds of algorithms to provide support to tasks such as
initializing, searching, coping, sorting and merging. Algorithms are implemented by
templates functions.
 An iterator is an object (like pointer) that points to an element in a container. We can
use iterators to move through the contents of containers. It is handled just like pointer
and can be incremented and decremented. Iterator connect algorithm with containers
and play a key role in the manipulation of data stored in the containers.
Features of STL
It helps in saving time, efforts, load fast, high quality programming because STL provides
well written and tested components, which can be reuse in our program to make our
program more robust.

Containers
As we know containers is an object that actually stores data. The STL defines ten containers
which are grouped in three categories as shown in fig.
1. Sequence containers
 Sequence containers stores elements in liner sequence.

 Elements of these containers can be accessed using an iterator.
The STL provides three types of sequence containers.
 Vector
 List
 Deque
2. Associative containers
Associative containers are designed to support direct access to element using keys. They are
not sequential. There are four types of associative containers.
 Set
 Multiset
 Map
 Multimap
All these containers store data in a structure called tree which facilitates fast searching,deletion
and insertion. However these are very slow for random access and inefficient for sorting.
3. Derived containers
The STL provides three derived containers namely stack, queue, and priority queue. These are
also called containers adaptors.
Stack Queues and priority queues can be created from different sequence containers. The
derived containers do not support iterators and therefore we cannot use them for data
manipulation. However, they support two member functions pop() and push() for
implementing deleting and inserting operations.

Containers supported by STL
Container Description Header Iterator

file
Vector A dynamic array. <vector> Random
Allows insertions and deletions at back. Permits access
direct access to any element.
List A bidirectional, linear list. Allows insertions and <list> Bidirectional
deletions anywhere.
Deque A double-ended queue. Allows insertions and <deque> Random
deletions at both ends. Permit direct access to any access
element.
Set An associate container for storing unique sets. <set> Bidirectional
Allows rapid lookup.(No duplicates are allowed)
multiset An associate container for storing non- unique sets. <set> Bidirectional
(Duplicates allowed)
Map An associate container for storing unique key/value <map> Bidirectional
pairs. Each key is associated with only one
value(one-to-one mapping).Allows key-based
lookup.
multimap An associate container for storing key/value pairs in <map> Bidirectional

which one key may be associated with more than
one value.(one-to-many mapping) .Allows key-based
lookup.
Stack An standard stack. Last-in-first-out(LIFO) <stack> No iterator
Queue A standard queue. First-in-first-out(FIFO) <queue> No iterator
Priority- A priority queue. The first element out is always the <queue> No iterator
queue highest priority element.

CHAPTER 7
Object Oriented Design
7.1 Responsibility implies non-interface
 When we make an object (be it a child or a software system) responsible for specific
actions, we expect a certain behavior, at least when the rules are observed.
 Responsibility implies a degree of independence or noninterference.
 If we tell a child that she is responsible for cleaning her room, we do not normally stand
over her and watch while that task is being performed-that is not the nature of
responsibility. Instead, we expect that, having issued a directive in the correct fashion,
the desired outcome will be produced.
 In case of, conventional programming we tend to actively supervise the child while she’s
performing a task.
 In case of OOP we tend to handover to the child responsibility for that performance
 Conventional programming proceeds largely by doing something to something else-
modifying a record or updating an array. Thus, one portion of code in a software system
is often intimately tied by control and data connections to many other sections of the
system. Such dependencies can come about through the use of global variables, through
use of pointer values or simply through inappropriate use of and dependence on
implementation details of other portions of code.
 A responsibility-driven design attempts to cut these links, or at least make them as
unobtrusive as possible.
One of the major benefits of object-oriented programming occurs when software
subsystems are reused from one project to the next. For example, a simulation manager
might work for both a simulation of balls on a billiards table and a simulation of fish in a fish
tank. This ability to reuse code implies that the software can have almost no domain-
specific components; it must totally delegate responsibility for domain-specific behavior to
application-specific portions of the system. The ability to create such reusable code is not
one that is easily learned-it requires experience, careful examination of case studies
(paradigms, in the original sense of the word), and use of a programming language in which
such delegation is natural and easy to express.

7.2 Programming in small and Programming in large
The difference between the development of individual projects and of more sizable software
systems is often described as programming in the small versus programming in the large.
Programming in the small characterizes projects with the following attributes:
 Code is developed by a single programmer, or perhaps by a very small collection of

programmers. A single individual can understand all aspects of a project, from top to
bottom, beginning to end.
 The major problem in the software development process is the design and development
of algorithms for dealing with the problem at hand.
Programming in the large, on the other hand, characterizes software projects with features
such as the following:
 The software system is developed by a large team, often consisting of people with many
different skills. There may be graphic artists, design experts, as well as programmers.
Individuals involved in the specification or design of the system may differ from those
involved in the coding of individual components, who may differ as well from those
involved in the integration of various components in the final product. No single individual
can be considered responsible for the entire project, or even necessarily understands all
aspects of the project.
 The major problem in the software development process is the management of details
and the communication of information between diverse portions of the project.
7.3 Role of Behavior in OOP

Earlier software development methodologies (those popular before the advent of object-
oriented techniques) concentrated on ideas such as characterizing the basic data structures or
the overall structure of function calls, often within the creation of a formal specification of the
desired application. But structural elements of the application can be identified only after a
considerable amount of problem analysis.
Similarly, a formal specification often ended up as a document understood by neither
programmer nor client. But behavior is something that can be described almost from the
moment an idea is conceived, and (often unlike a formal specification) can be described in
terms meaningful to both the programmers and the client.

7.4 Responsibility-Driven Design
Responsibility-Driven Design (RDD), developed by Rebecca Wirfs-Brock, is an object-oriented

design technique that is driven by an emphasis on behavior at all levels of development.
It focuses on:
What action is object responsible for?
What information does the object share?
 RDD focuses on what action must get accomplished and which object will accomplish
them.
 The RDD approach focuses on modeling object behavior and identifying patterns of
communication between objects.
 One objective of object oriented design is first to establish who is responsible for each
action to be performed.
 The design process consists of finding key objects during their role and responsibilities
and understanding their pattern of communication.
 RDD initially focuses on what should be accomplished not how. RDD tries to avoid
dealing with details.
 If any particular action is to happen, someone must be responsible for doing it. No
action takes place without an agent.
 One of the technique is use of index cards to represent individual class. such cards are
known as index cards.
7.4 Case study in RDD
7.4.1 The interactive Intelligent Kitchen Helper
Brief Description
The Interactive Intelligent Kitchen Helper (IIKH) is a PC-based application that will replace the
index-card system of recipes found in the average kitchen. But more than simply maintaining a
database of recipes, the kitchen helper assists in the planning of meals for an extended period,
say a week. The user of the IIKH can sit down at a terminal, browse the database of recipes, and
interactively create a series of menus. The IIKH will automatically scale the recipes to any
number of servings and will print out menus for the entire week, for a particular day, or for a
particular meal. And it will print an integrated grocery list of all the items needed for the recipes
for the entire period.

7.4.2 Working through scenarios
Initial specifications are almost always ambiguous and unclear on anything except the most
general points. So, the first task is to refine the specification.
The specifications for the final application will may change during the creation of the software
system, so it is important that, the design be developed to easily accommodate change and
that potential changes be noted as early as possible.
Equally important, at this point very high level decisions can be made concerning the structure
of the eventual software system. In particular, the activities to be performed can be mapped
onto components.
In order to uncover the fundamental behavior of the system, the design team first creates a
number of scenarios. That is, the team acts out the running of the application just as if it
already possessed a working system. An example scenario is as below.
7.4.3 Identification of components
 The engineering of software is simplified by the identification and

development of software components.
 A component is simply an abstract entity that can perform tasks-that is, fulfill some
responsibilities.
 At this point, it is not necessary to know exactly the eventual representation for a
component or how a component will perform a task. A component may ultimately be
turned into a function, a structure or class, or a collection of other components.
 At this level of development there are just two important characteristics:
 A component must have a small well-defined set of responsibilities.
 A component should interact with other components to the minimal extent
possible.

7.5 CRC Cards (Class Responsibility Collaborators)
CRC stands for Class Responsibility Collaborators.

CRC cards are a brainstorming tool used in the design of object-oriented software.
It was first introduced by Kent beck and Ward Cunningham.
The cards are arranged to show the flow of messages among instances of each class.
CRC Card is divided into three sections as shown in figure.
Class Name
Responsibilities Collaborators
A class represents a collection of similar objects, a responsibility is something that a class knows
or does, and a collaborator is another class that a class interacts with to fulfill its
responsibilities.
Let us illustrate these concept with an example of Student CRC card

Fig: CRC cards for class student

Things to be understand:
Here, Student is used as class name across the top of a CRC card .We use name of a class as a singular
noun because each class represents a generalized version of a singular object.
As we know responsibility is anything that a class knows or does. In this example, students have names,
addresses, and phone numbers. These are the things a student knows. Students also enroll in seminars
and request transcripts. These are the things a student does.
Sometimes a class has a responsibility to fulfill, but not have enough information to do it. In above example,
as you see students enroll in seminars. To do this, a student needs to know if a spot is available in the
seminar and, if so, he then needs to be added to the seminar. However, students only have information
about themselves (their names and so forth), and not about seminars. What the student needs to do is
collaborate/interact with the card labeled Seminar to sign up for a seminar. Therefore, Seminar is included
in the list of collaborators of Student. In this way we can draw CRC cards.
7.5.1 Give components a physical Representation
While working through scenarios, it is useful to assign CRC cards to different members of the
design team. The member holding the card representing a component records the
responsibilities of the associated software component, and acts as the “surrogate" for the
software during the scenario simulation. He or she describes the activities of the software
system, passing “control" to another member when the software system requires the
services of another component.
The physical separation of the cards encourages an intuitive understanding of the importance
of the logical separation of the various components, helping to emphasize the cohesion and
coupling (which we will describe shortly).
7.5.2 What/Who Cycle
The identification of components takes place during the process

of imagining the execution of a working system.
Often this proceeds as a cycle of what/who questions.
 First, the design team identifies what activity needs to be performed next.
 This is immediately followed by answering the question of who performs the action.
In this manner, designing a software system is much like organizing a
collection of people, such as a club. Any activity that is to be performed must be assigned as a
responsibility to some component.
The secret to good object-oriented design is to first establish an agent for each action.

7.5.3 Documentation
Two documents should be essential parts of any software system: the user manual and the
system design documentation. Work on both of these can commence even before the first line
of code has been written.
The User Manual
The user manual describes the interaction with the system from the user's point of view.
Before any actual code has been written, the mindset of the software team is most similar to
that of the eventual users.
The system Design Documentation
 The design documentation records the major decisions made during software design, and
should thus be produced when these decisions are fresh in the minds of the creators.
 Gives the initial picture of the larger structure hence should be carried out early in the
.development cycle.
 CRC cards are one aspect of the design documentation, but many other important
decisions are not reflected in them. Arguments for and against any major design
alternatives should be recorded, as well as factors that influenced the final decisions.
7.6 Interaction Diagram /Sequence diagram
 Used for describing their dynamic interactions during the execution of a scenario.
 In the diagram, time moves forward from the top to the bottom.
 Each component is represented by a labeled vertical line.
 A component sending a message to another component is represented by a horizontal
arrow from one line to another.
 Similarly, a component returning control and perhaps a result value back to the caller is
represented by an arrow.
 The commentary on the right side of the figure explains more fully the interaction taking
place.
 With a time axis, the interaction diagram is able to describe better the sequencing of
events during a scenario. For this reason, interaction diagrams can be a useful
documentation tool for complex software systems.

Figure shows the beginning of an interaction diagram for the interactive kitchen helper.
Figure 0-1: An Example interaction diagram.
Note:
Some authors use two different arrow forms, such as a solid line to represent message passing
and a dashed line to represent returning control.
Sequence diagram is a sub-category of Interaction diagram
7.7 Software components
In programming and Engineering disciplines, a component is an identifiable part of a larger

program or construction. Usually, a component provides a particular function or group of
related functions. In programming design,a system is divided into components that in turn are
made up of modules. Component test means testing all related modules that form a
component as a group to make sure they make together.
In object oriented programming, a component is a reusable program building block that can be
combined with other components to form an application. Examples of components include: a
single button in graphical interface, a simple interest calculator, an interface to a database
manager.

Each component is characterized by:
1) Behavior and state
 The behavior of a component is the set of actions it can perform. The complete
description of all the behavior for a component is sometimes called the
protocol. For the Recipe component this includes activities such as editing the
preparation instructions, displaying the recipe on a terminal screen, or printing
a copy of the recipe.
 The state of a component represents all the information held within it at a
given point of time. For our Recipe component the state includes the
ingredients and preparation instructions. Notice that the state is not static and
can change over time. For example, by editing a recipe (a behavior) the user
can make changes to the preparation instructions (part of the state).
2) Instances and classes
 In the real application there will probably be many different recipes. However, all of these
recipes will perform in the same manner i.e. the behavior of each recipe is the same.
 But the state (individual list of ingredients and instructions for preparation) differs
between individual recipes.
 The term class is used to describe a set of objects with similar behavior.
 An individual representative of a class is known as an instance.
 Note that behavior is associated with a class, not with an individual. That is, all instances
of a class will respond to the same instructions and perform in a similar manner.
 On the other hand, state is a property of an individual. We see this in the various instances
of the class Recipe. We see this in the various instances of the class Recipe .They can all
perform the same actions (editing, displaying, printing) but use different data values.
3) Coupling and cohesion

Cohesion is the degree to which the responsibilities of a single component form a meaningful
unit. High cohesion is achieved by associating in a single component tasks that are related in
some manner. Probably the most frequent way in which tasks are related is through the
necessity to access a common data value. This is the overriding theme that joins, for example,
the various responsibilities of the Recipe component.
Coupling, on the other hand, describes the relationship between software components. In
general, it is desirable to reduce the amount of coupling as much as possible, since connections
between software components inhibit ease of development, modification, or reuse.

4) Interface and Implementation-Parnas’s Principles
It is possible for one programmer to know how to use a component developed by another
programmer, without needing to know how the component is implemented. The purposeful
omission of implementation details behind a simple interface is known as information hiding.
The component encapsulates the behavior, showing only how the component can be used, not
the detailed actions it performs.
This naturally leads to two different views of a software system. The interface view is the face
seen by other programmers. It describes what a software component can perform. The
implementation view is the face seen by the programmer working on a particular component.
It describes how a component goes about completing a task.
These ideas were captured by computer scientist David Parna’s in a pair of rules, known as
Parnas's principles:
 The developer of a software component must provide the intended user with all the
information needed to make effective use of the services provided by the component,
and should provide no other information.
 The developer of a software component must be provided with all the information
necessary to carry out the given responsibilities assigned to the component, and should
be provided with no other information.
7.8 Formalizing the Interface

 The first step in this process is to formalize the patterns and channels of communication.
 A decision should be made as to the general structure that will be used to implement each
component. A component with only one behavior and no internal state may be made into
a function. Components with many tasks are probably more easily implemented as
classes. Names are given to each of the responsibilities identified on the CRC card for each
component, and these will eventually be mapped onto method names. Along with the
names, the types of any arguments to be passed to the function are identified.
 Next, the information maintained within the component itself should be described. All
information must be accounted for. If a component requires some data to perform a
specific task, the source of the data, either through argument or global value, or
maintained internally by the component, must be clearly identified.

Page:11
7.8.1 Coming up with names
The selection of useful names is extremely important, as names create the vocabulary with
which the eventual design will be formulated. Names should be internally consistent,
meaningful, preferably short, and evocative in the context of the problem
General Guidelines for choosing names:
 Use pronounceable names. As a rule of thumb, if you cannot read a name out loud,
it is not a good one.
 Use capitalization (or underscores) to mark the beginning of a new word within a
name, such as “CardReader" or “Card_reader," rather than the less readable
“cardreader."
 Abbreviations should not be confusing. Is a “TermProcess" a terminal process,
something that terminates processes, or a process associated with a terminal?
 Avoid names with several interpretations. Does the empty function tell whether
something is empty, or empty the values from the object?
 Avoid digits within a name. They are easy to misread as letters (0 as O, 1 as l, 2 as
Z, 5 as S).
 Name functions and variables that yield Boolean values so they describe clearly
the interpretation of a true or false value. For example, “Printer-IsReady" clearly
indicates that a true value means the printer is working, whereas “PrinterStatus"
is much less precise
 Names for operations that are costly and infrequently used should be carefully
chosen as this can avoid errors caused by using the wrong function.
Once names have been developed for each activity, the CRC cards for each component are
redrawn, with the name and formal arguments of the function used to elicit each behavior
identified. An example of a CRC card for the Date is shown in Figure .
Figure: Revised CRC card for the Date component.

Page:12
7.9 Designing the Representation
At this point, the design team can be divided into groups, each responsible for one or more
software components. The task now is to transform the description of a component into a
software system implementation. The major portion of this process is designing the data
structures that will be used by each subsystem to maintain the state information required to
fulfill the assigned responsibilities.
Once data structures have been chosen, the code used by a component in the fulfillment of a
responsibility is often almost self-evident. A wrong choice can result in complex and inefficient
programs.
It is also at this point that descriptions of behavior must be transformed into algorithms. These
descriptions should then be matched against the expectations of each component listed as a
collaborator, to ensure that expectations are fulfilled and necessary data items are available to
carry out each process.
7.10 Implementing components
 If the previous steps were correctly addressed, each responsibility or behavior will be
characterized by a short description. The task at this step is to implement the desired
activities in a computer language.
 As one programmer will not work on all aspects of a system, programmer will need to
master are understanding how one section of code fits into a larger framework and
working well with other members of a team.
 There might be components that work in back ground (facilitators) that needs to be taken
into account.
 An important part of analysis and coding at this point is:
i. Characterizing and documenting the necessary preconditions a software
component requires to complete a task.
ii. Verifying that the software component will perform correctly when presented
with legal input values.

Page:13
7.11 Integration of components
 Once software subsystems have been individually designed and tested, they can be
integrated into the final product. This is often not a single step, but part of a larger
process. Starting from a simple base, elements are slowly added to the system and tested,
using stubs-simple dummy routines with no behavior or with very limited behavior-for
the as yet unimplemented parts.
 Testing of an individual component is often referred to as unit testing.
 Next, one or the other of the stubs can be replaced by more complete code. Further
testing can be performed until it appears that the system is working as desired. (This is
sometimes referred to as integration testing. The application is finally complete when all
stubs have been replaced with working components.
 Testing during integration can involve the discovery of errors, which then results in
changes to some of the components. Following these changes the components should be
once again tested in isolation before an attempt to reintegrate the software, once more,
into the larger system.
 Re-executing previously developed test cases following a change to a software
component is sometimes referred to as regression testing.
7.12 Maintenance and Evolution
The term software maintenance describes activities subsequent to the delivery of the initial
working version of a software system. A wide variety of activities fall into this category.
 Errors, or bugs, can be discovered in the delivered product. These must be corrected,
either in updates or corrections to existing releases or in subsequent releases.
 Requirements may change, perhaps as a result of government regulations or
standardization among similar products.
 Hardware may change. For example, the system may be moved to different platforms, or
input devices, such as a pen-based system or a pressure-sensitive touch screen, may
become available. Output technology may change-for example, from a text-based system
to a graphical window-based arrangement.
 User expectations may change. Users may expect greater functionality, lower cost, and
easier use. This can occur as a result of competition with similar products. Better
documentation may be requested by users.
A good design recognizes the inevitability of changes and plans an accommodation for them
from the very beginning.

CHAPTER-1 (THEORY SOLUTION)
1. Explain the notation “Everything is an object” in an object oriented

Programming.[PU:2017 spring]
An entity that has state and behavior is known as an object .If we consider the real-world, we
can find many objects around us, cars, dogs, humans, etc. All these objects have a state and a
behavior .If we consider a dog, then its state is - name, breed, color, and the behavior is -
barking, wagging the tail, running.
In object oriented programming problem is analyzed in terms of object and nature of
communication between them. Program object should be chosen such that they match closely
with real-world objects. In object oriented programming object's state is stored as data
member and behavior is defined using functions (methods).
When a program is executed, the object interact by sending message to one another. For
example, if “Customer” and “account” are two objects in a program then the customer object
may send a message to the account object requesting for the bank balance. Each object
contains data, and code (methods) to manipulate data. Objects can interact without having to
know details of each other’s data or code. It is sufficient to know the type of message accepted,
and the type of response returned by objects.
So, from above discussion we can say that “Everything is an object” in an object oriented
Programming.
2. With the help of object oriented programming, explain how can object oriented
programming cope in solving complex problem. [PU:2014 spring][PU:2018 fall]
When the software sizes grows large, due to the interconnections of software
components the complexity of software system increases. The interconnections of
software components means the dependence of one portion of code on another
portion. Due to complexity, it is difficult to understand program in isolation as well it
makes difficult to divide a task between a several programs.
The abstraction mechanism is used to manage complexity. The Abstraction is
mechanism displays only essential information and hiding the details.
Abstraction is often combined with a division into components. For example, we divided
the automobile into the engine and the transmission. Components are carefully chosen
so that they can encapsulate certain key features and interact with another component
through simple and fixed interface.

The division of components means we can divide large task into smaller problems that
can then be worked on more less or less independently of each other. It is a
responsibility of a developer of a component to provide a implementation that satisfies
the requirement of interface. So, set of procedure written by one programmer can be
used by many other programmers without knowing the exact details of implementation.
They needed only the necessary interface.
From above discussion we can conclude that, breaking down the system in a way such
that component can be reuse in solution of different problems just by knowing only the
interfaces which must utilize. The implementation details can be modified in future
without affecting the program. So program can also easily maintained. In this way object
oriented programming cope in solving complex problem.
3. What influence is an object oriented approach said to have on software system

design? What is your own opinion? Justify through example.[PU:2009 fall]
Object oriented approach contributes greater programmer productivity, better quality of

software and lesser maintenance cost.
The influence of an object oriented approach is discussed below with certain characteristic of
OOP which justifies that object oriented approach leads to better software design.
 It is easy to model a real system as programming objects in OOP represents real objects.
the objects are processed by their member data and functions. It is easy to analyze the
user requirements.
 Complexity that arises due to interconnections of software components can be
managed by abstraction. So, set of procedure written by one programmer can be used
by many other programmers without knowing the exact details of implementation. They
needed only the necessary interface.
 It modularize the programs. Modular programs are easy to develop and can be
distributed independently among different programmers.
 Large problems can be reduced to smaller and more manageable problems. It is easy to
partition the work in a project based on objects.
 It makes software easier to maintain. Since the design is modular, part of the system can
be updated in case of issues without a need to make large-scale changes.
 Elimination of redundant code due to inheritance, that is, we can use the same
code in a base class by deriving a new class from it. The reusability feature of OOP
lowers the cost of software development.
 Reuse also enables faster development. Object-oriented programming languages come
with rich libraries of objects, and code developed during projects is also reusable in
future projects.

 It provides a good framework for code libraries where the supplied software
components can be easily adapted and modified by the programmer. This is particularly
useful for developing graphical user interfaces.
 In OOP, data can be made private to a class such that only member functions of the
class can access the data. This principle of data hiding helps the programmer to build a
secure program that cannot be invaded by code in other part of the program.
 With the help of polymorphism, the same function or same operator can be used for
different purposes. This helps to manage software complexity easily.
4. What is the significance of forming abstractions while designing an object oriented

System. Explain with a example.[PU:2015 fall]
Abstraction means displaying only essential information and hiding the details. Data abstraction
refers to providing only essential information about the data to the outside world, hiding the
background details or implementation.
Consider a real life example of a man driving a car. The man only knows that pressing the
accelerators will increase the speed of car or applying brakes will stop the car but he does not
know about how on pressing accelerator the speed is actually increasing, he does not know
about the inner mechanism of the car or the implementation of accelerator, brakes etc in the
car.
The significance of forming abstractions while designing an object oriented system can be listed
as follows:
 It manage complexity that arises due to interconnections of software components.
 Set of procedure written by one programmer can be used by many other programmers
interface.
 Data abstraction increases the reusability of the code by avoiding any chances of
redundancy.
 It increases the readability of the code as it eliminates the possibility of displaying the
complex working of the code.
 With the implementation of classes and objects, comes enhanced security. Since data
abstraction is a method of implementing classes and objects any denying access to other
classes of accessing the data members and member functions of the base class.
 Helps the user to avoid writing the low level code.
 It separates the entire program into code and implementation making it more
comprehensible.

 Can change internal implementation of class independently without affecting the user
level code.
 Helps to increase security of an application or program as only important details are
provided to the user.
 To increase security of an application or program as only important details are provided
to the user.
5. What are the mechanism of data abstraction? What is the use of abstraction
mechanism in C++?Explain with example.[PU:2019 fall]
Data abstraction refers to providing only essential information to the outside world and hiding
their background details, i.e., to represent the needed information in program without
presenting the details. Data abstraction is a programming (and design) technique that relies on
the separation of interface and implementation
Let's take a real life example of AC, which can be turned ON or OFF, change the temperature,
change the mode, and other external components such as fan, swing. But, we don't know the
internal details of the AC, i.e., how it works internally. Thus, we can say that AC separates the
implementation details from the external interface.
Data Abstraction can be achieved in following ways:
 Abstraction using classes
 Abstraction in header files
 Abstraction using access specifiers
Abstraction using classes: An abstraction can be achieved using classes. A class is used to group
all the data members and member functions into a single unit by using the access specifiers. A
class has the responsibility to determine which data member is to be visible outside and which
is not.
Abstraction in header files: An another type of abstraction is header file. For example, pow()
function available is used to calculate the power of a number without actually knowing which
algorithm function uses to calculate the power. Thus, we can say that header files hides all the
implementation details from the user.
Abstraction using Access specifiers: Access specifiers are the main pillar of implementing
abstraction in C++. We can use access specifiers to enforce restrictions on class members.
For example;
 Members declared as public in a class, can be accessed from anywhere in the program.
 Members declared as private in a class, can be accessed only from within the class. They
are not allowed to be accessed from any part of code outside the class.

We can easily implement abstraction using the above two features provided by access
specifiers. Say, the members that defines the internal implementation can be marked as private
in a class. And the important information needed to be given to the outside world can be
marked as public. And these public members can access the private members as they are inside
the class.
Example:
#include <iostream>
class AbstractionExample
{
private:
int a, b;
public:
void setdata(int x, int y)
{
a = x;
b = y;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"a = " <<a << endl;
cout<<"b = " << b << endl;
}
};
int main()

AbstractionExample obj;
obj.setdata(10, 20);
obj.display();
return 0;
}
In above program ,By making data members private, we have hidden them from outside world.
These data members are not accessible outside the class. The only way to set and get their
values is through the public functions.

The main use of abstraction mechanism in C++ are as follows:
 To manage complexity that arises due to interconnections of software components
using abstraction.
 Set of procedure written by one programmer can be used by many other programmers
interface. The program can use the function sort_name() to sort names in alphabetical
order without knowing whether implementation uses bubble sort, merge sort, quick
sort algorithms.
 To change the Internal implementation without affecting the user level code.
 To avoids the code duplication, i.e., programmer does not have to undergo the same
tasks every time to perform the similar operation.
 To increase the readability of the code as it eliminates the possibility of displaying the
complex working of the code.
 To increase security of an application or program as only important details are provided
to the user.

CHAPTER 2 (THEORY SOLUTION)
1. What sorts of shortcomings of structure are addressed by classes? Explain giving
appropriate example.[PU:2014 fall]
The shortcoming of structure that are addressed by classes are as follows:
1) Class can create a subclass that will inherit parent's properties and methods,
whereas Structure does not support the inheritance.
2) Structure members can be easily accessed by the structure variables in their
scope but class members doesn’t due to feature of data hiding.
3) Classes support polymorphism (late binding), whereas structure doesn’t.
4) Also we can use "this" pointers in classes due to which you don't have to
explicitly pass an object to a member function.
5) The structure data type cannot be treated like built in types while performing
arithmetic operations. But it is valid in class using the concept of operator
overloading.
For example:
struct complex
{
int real;
int imag;
}
struct complex c1,c2,c3;
c3=c1+c2; Is illegal .
2. Differentiate between structure and class. Why Class is preferred over structure?

7. Function member of the struct cannot be 7. Function member of the class can be virtual or

Due to the following reasons class is preferred over structure.
 Structures in C++ doesn't provide data hiding where as a class provides data hiding
 A Structure is not secure and cannot hide its implementation details from the end user
while a class is secure and can hide its programming and designing details.
 Classes support polymorphism (late binding), whereas structure doesn’t.
 Class support inheritance but structure doesn’t.
 "this" pointer will works only with class.
 Class lets us to use constructors and destructors.
3. Explain the various access specifier used in C++ with example.
Access Modifiers or Access Specifiers in a class are used to set the accessibility of the class
members. That is, it sets some restrictions on the class members not to get directly accessed by
the outside functions.
There are 3 types of access modifiers available in C++.They are:
1) Public:
All the class members declared under public will be available to everyone. The data members
and member functions declared public can be accessed by other classes too. The public
members of a class can be accessed from anywhere in the program using the direct member
access operator (.) with the object of that class.

2) Private:
The class members declared as private can be accessed only by the functions inside the class.
They are not allowed to be accessed directly by any object or function outside the class. Only
the member functions or the friend functions are allowed to access the private data members
of a class.
#include<iostream>
class Rectangle
{
private:
float length,breadth,area;
public:
void setdata(float l,float b)
{
length=l;
breadth=b;
}
void disp_area()
{
area=length*breadth;
cout<<"Area="<<area<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
Rectangle r;
r.setdata(10.5,6);
r.disp_area();
return 0;
}
Here, member function disp_area() is public so it is accessible outside class .But data member
length ,breadth and area being private they are not accessible outside class. Only member
function of that class disp_area() can access it.

3) Protected
class member declared as Protected are inaccessible outside the class but they can be accessed
by any subclass(derived class) of that class.
Example:
#include <iostream>
class A
{
protected:
int a, b;
public:
void setdata(int x, int y)
{
a = x;
b = y;
}
};
class B : public A
{
public:
void display()
{
cout << "value of a=" << a << endl;
cout << "value of b=" << b << endl;
cout << "Sum of two protected variables a and b = "<< a + b << endl;
}
};
int main()
{
B obj;
obj.setdata(4, 5);
obj.display();
return 0;
}
In above example , protected variable a and b is accessed by the derived class B.
From above discussion we can conclude that:
Accessible from Accessible from Accessible from
Access Specifier
own class derived class objects outside class
public yes yes yes
private yes no no
protected yes yes no

4. What is data hiding/Information hiding? How do you achieve data hiding in C++?
Explain with suitable program.[PU:2019 fall]
Data Hiding means protecting the data members of a class from an illegal or unauthorized
access from outside class. It ensures exclusive data access to class members and protects object
integrity by preventing unintended or intended changes.
By declaring the data member private in a class, the data members can be hidden from outside
the class. Those private data members cannot be accessed by the object directly.
#include<iostream>
class Square
{
private:
int num;
public:
void getdata()
{
cout << "Enter the number"<<endl;;
cin>>num;
}
void display()
{
cout << "Square of a given number= "<< num*num<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
Square obj;
obj.getdata();
obj.display();
return 0;
}
In the above example, the variable “num” is private. Hence this variable can be accessed only
by the member function of the same class and is not accessible from anywhere else. Hence
outside the classes will be unable to access this variable which is called data hiding. In this way
data hiding can be achieved.

5. What is encapsulation? How can encapsulation enforced in C++? Explain with suitable
example code. [PU:2017 spring]
Encapsulation is a process of combining data members and functions in a single unit

called class.
In encapsulation, the variables or data of a class is hidden from any other class and can
be accessed only through any member function of own class in which they are declared.
As in encapsulation, the data in a class is hidden from other classes, so it is also known
as data-hiding.
Encapsulation can be enforced by declaring all the variables in the class as private and
writing public methods in the class to set and get the values of variable.
Example:
#include<iostream>
class Square
{
private:
int num;
public:
void setnum(int x)
{
num=x;
}
int getnum()
{
return (num*num);
}
};
int main()
{
Square obj;
obj.setnum(5);
cout<<"Square of a number="<<obj.getnum()<<endl;
return 0;
}
In the above program the Class square is encapsulated as the variables are declared as private.
The get methods getnum() is set as public, this method is used to access these variables. The
setter method like setnum() is also declared as public and is used to set the values of the
variables.

6. Where do you use friend function? What are the merits and di-merits of friend
function?
In some situation non-member function need to access the private data of class or one class
wants to access private data of second class and second wants to access private data of first
class. This can achieve by using friend functions.
The non-member function that is “friendly” to a class, has full access rights to the private
members of the class.
For example when we want to compare two private data members of two different classes in
that case you need a common function which can make use of both the private variables of
different class. In that case we create a normal function and make friend in both the classes, as
to provide access of theirs private variables.
Merits of friend function:
• It can access the private data member of class from outside the class
• Allows sharing private class information by a non-member function.
• It acts as the bridge between two classes by operating on their private data’s.
• It is able to access members without need of inheriting the class.
• It provides functions that need data which isn’t normally used by the class.
Demerits of friend function:

 It violates the law of data hiding by allowing access to private members of the class from
outside the class.
 Breach of data integrity
 Conceptually messy
 Runtime polymorphism in the member cannot be done.
 Size of memory occupied by objects will be maximum
7. Does friend function violate the data hiding? Explain Briefly.[PU:2017 fall]
The concept of data hiding indicates that nonmember functions should not be able to access
the private data of class. But, it is possible with the help of a “friend function”. That means, a
function has to be declared as friend function to give it the authority to access to the private
data.
Hence, friend function is not a member function of the class but can access private members of
that class. So that’s why friend function violate data hiding.

Let’s illustrate the given concept with the following example.
#include<iostream>
class sample
{
private:
int a,b;
public:
void setdata(int x,int y)
{
a=x;
b=y;
}
friend void sum(sample s);
};
void sum(sample s)
{
cout<<"sum="<<(s.a+s.b)<<endl;
}
int main()
{
sample s;
s.setdata(5,10);
sum(s);
return 0;
}
Here in class named sample there are two private data members a and b. The function sum() is
not a member function but when it is declared as friend in class sample then sum() can access
the private data a and b. which shows that friend function violate the concept of data hiding.
8. What are the limitations of static member functions

Limitations of static member functions:
 It doesn’t have a “this” pointer.
 A static member function cannot directly refer to static members.
 Same function can’t have both static and non static types.
 It can’t be virtual.
 A static member function can’t be declared as const or volatile.

basic
message formalization. [PU:2006 spring]
Message Passing Function Call

designated receiver for that designated receiver.

object to which message is sent.
2) Interpretation of the message 2) Determination of which method

can vary with different receivers.
3) Message passing must involve 3) Simply function name and its
name of the object, function arguments is used to made
name and information to be function call.
sent.
4) A message is always given to 4) Name will be matched to a
some object, called the receiver. message to determine when the
method should be executed
Signature the combination of
return type and argument types.
5) Example: st.getdata(2,5) 5) Example: getdata(2,5);
Explanation:
Message passing formalization
Message passing means the dynamic process of asking an object to perform a

specific action.
A message is always given to some object, called the receiver.
The action performed in response to the message is not fixed but may be differ,
depending on the class of the receiver .That is different objects may accept the same
message the and yet perform different actions.
There are three identifiable parts to any message-passing expression. These are
1) Receiver: the object to which the message is being sent
2) Message selector: the text that indicates the particular message is being sent.
3) Arguments used in responding the message.

s.getdata(100,200);
st.getdata(100,200);
Example of message passing

#include<iostream>
#include<conio.h>
class student
{
int roll;
public:
void getdata(int x)
{
roll=x;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"Roll number="<<roll;
}
};
int main()
{
student s;
s.getdata(325); //objects passing message
s.display(); //objects passing message
getch();
return 0;
}

2. What are the possible memory errors in programming.[PU:2014 spring]
Memory errors occur very commonly in programming, and they can affect application
stability and correctness. These errors are due to programming bugs. They can be hard to
reproduce, hard to debug, and potentially expensive to correct as well. Applications that
have memory errors can experience major problems.
Memory errors can be broadly classified into Heap Memory Errors and Stack Memory
Errors. Some of the challenging memory errors are:
1. Invalid Memory Access in stack and heap: This error occurs when a read or write
instruction references unallocated or deallocated memory.
2. Memory leaks
Memory leaks occur when memory is allocated but not released.
3. Mismatched Allocation/Deallocation
This error occurs when a deallocation is attempted with a function that is not the
logical counterpart of the allocation function used.
To avoid mismatched allocation/deallocation, ensure that the right de-allocator is
called. In C++, new[] is used for memory allocation and delete[] for freeing up.
4. Missing allocation
This error occurs when freeing memory which has already been freed. This is also
called "repeated free" or "double free".
5. Uninitialized Memory Access
This type of memory error will occur when an uninitialized variable is read in your
application. To avoid this type of memory error, always initialize variables before
using them.
3. Is it mandatory to use constructor in class. Explain?
Constructor is a ‘special’ member function whose task is to initialize the object of its
class.
It is not mandatory to use constructor in a class. As we know, Constructor are
invoked automatically when the objects are created.
So that object are initialized at the time of declaration. There is no need to separate
function call to initialize the object. Which reduces coding redundancy and minimizes
the programming error such as uninitialized memory access.

4. Differentiate between constructor and destructor.
Constructor Destructor
1) Constructor is used to initialize 1) Destructor destroys the objects

the instance of the class. when they are no longer
needed.
2) Constructors is called when new 2) Destructor is called when
instances of class is created. instances of class is deleted or
released.
3) Constructor allocates the 3) Destructor releases the
memory. memory.
4) Constructor can have arguments. 4) Destructor cannot have any
arguments.
5) Overloading of constructor is 5) Overloading of Destructor is
possible. not possible.
6) Constructor have same name as 6) Destructor have same name as
class name. class name but with tlide (~)
sign.
7) Syntax: 7) Syntax:
Class_name(arguments) ~Class_name()
{ {
//Body of the constructor //Body of the destructor
} }
5. Discuss the various situations when a copy constructor is automatically invoked.

How a default constructor can be equivalent to constructor having default
arguments.
Various situations when the copy constructor is called or automatically invoked are:
 When compiler generates the temporary object.
 When an object is constructed based on the object of the same class.
 When an object of the class is passed to function by values as an argument.
 When an object of the class is returned by value.
Constructor with default arguments is a is parameterized constructor which has default

values in arguments. Thus the arguments defined in such constructor are optional. We may
or may not pass arguments while defining object of the class. When an object is created
with no supplied values, the default values are used. By this way, constructor with default
constructor is equivalent to default constructor.

Example:
#include<iostream>
class Box
{
private:
float l,b,h;
public:
Box(float le=10,float br=5,float he=5)
{
l=le;
b=br;
h=he;
}
void displaymember()
{
cout<<"Length,breadth and height"<<l<<b<<h<<endl;
}
float getvolume()
{
return (l*b*h);
}
};
int main()
{
Box b;
float vol;
vol=b.getvolume();
cout<<"Volume="<<vol<<endl;
return 0;
}
6. What is de-constructor? can you have two destructors in a class? Give example to
support your reason.[PU:2014 spring]
De-constructor is a member function that destroys the object that have been
created by a constructor.
Destructor doesn’t take any arguments, which means destructor cannot be
overloaded. So, that there will be only one destructor in a class.
Destructors are usually used to deallocate memory and do other cleanup for a class
object and its class members when the object is destroyed. A destructor is called for
a class object when that object passes out of scope or is explicitly deleted.
So, that there cannot be more than one destructor ( two destructor ) in a same class.
(Write example of destructor yourself)

7. Differentiate methods of argument passing in constructor and destructor.
A constructor is allowed to accept the arguments as the arguments can be used to initialize
the data members of the class.
A destructor does not accept any arguments as its only work is to deallocate the memory of
the object.
In class, there can be multiple constructors which are identified by the number arguments
passed.
In class, there is only one destructor.
Constructors can be overload to perform different action under the name of the same
constructor whereas, destructors cannot be overloaded.
Example:
#include <iostream>
class test
{
private:
int a;
public:
test()
{
a=10;
cout<<"Default constructor is called"<<endl;
}
test(int x)
{
a=x;
cout<<"Parameterized constructor is called"<<endl;
}
~test()
{
cout<<"Destructor is called"<<endl;
}
void display()
{
}
};

int main()
{
test t1;
test t2(5);
t1.display();
t2.display();
return 0;
}
8. What do you mean by stack vs Heap? Explain the memory recovery. Explain the
use
of new and delete operator. [PU:2009 spring]
Stack
 It's a region of computer's memory that stores temporary variables created
by each function (including the main() function).
 The stack is a "Last in First Out" data structure and limited in size. Every time
a function declares a new variable, it is "pushed" (inserted) onto the stack.
Every time a function exits, all of the variables pushed onto the stack by that
function, are freed or popped (that is to say, they are deleted).
 Once a stack variable is freed, that region of memory becomes available for
other stack variables.
Heap
 The heap is a region of computer's memory that is not managed
automatically and is not as tightly managed by the CPU.
 We must allocate and de-allocate variable explicitly. (for allocating
variable new and for freeing variables delete operator is used.
 It does not have a specific limit on memory size.
Memory recovery
Because in most languages objects are dynamically allocated, they must be

recovered at run-time. There are two broad approches to this:
 Force the programmer to explicitly say when a value is no longer being used:
delete aCard; // C++ example
 Use a garbage collection system that will automatically determine when
values are no longer being used, and recover the memory.
Use of new and delete operator
new is used to allocate memory blocks at run time (dynamically). While, delete is
used to de-allocate the memory which has been allocated dynamically.

Example of new and delete in C+
#include <iostream>
int main ()
{
int i,n;
int *ptr;
int sum=0;
cin >>n;
ptr= new int[n];
for (i=0; i<n; i++)

{
cin >> ptr[i];
}
for (i=0; i<n; i++)
{
sum=sum+ptr[i];
}
delete[] ptr;
return 0;
}
9. What are the advantages of dynamic memory allocation? Explain with suitable
example. [PU:2016 spring]
The main advantage of using dynamic memory allocation is preventing the wastage
of memory or efficient utilization of memory. Let us consider an example:
In static memory allocation the memory is allocated before the execution of program
begins (During compilation).In this type of allocation the memory cannot be resized
after initial allocation. So it has some limitations. Like
 Wastage of memory
 Overflow of memory
eg. int num[100];
Here, the size of an array has been fixed to 100.If we just enter to 10 elements only,
then their will be wastage of 90 memory location and if we need to store more than
100
elements there will be memory overflow.
But, in dynamic memory allocation memory is allocated during runtime.so it helps us

to allocate and de-allocate memory during the period of program execution as per
requirement. So there will be proper utilization of memory.

In c++ dynamic memory allocation can be achieved by using new and delete
operator. new is used to allocate memory blocks at run time (dynamically). While,
delete is used to de-allocate the memory which has been allocated dynamically.
Let us consider an example:

#include <iostream>
int main ()
{
int i,n;
int *ptr;
int sum=0;
cin >>n;
ptr= new int[n];
for (i=0; i<n; i++)
{
cin >> ptr[i];
}
for (i=0; i<n; i++)
{
sum=sum+ptr[i];
}
delete[] ptr;
return 0;
}
Here, in above example performs the sum of n numbers .But the value of n will be
provided during runtime.so that memory allocation to store n numbers is done
during program execution which results proper utilization of memory and
preventing from wastage of memory or overflow of memory.

Dynamic Constructor
Dynamic constructor is used to allocate the memory to the objects at the run time. Memory
is allocated at run time with the help of 'new' operator .This will enable the system to
allocate right amount of memory for each object when objects are not of the same size,
thus resulting in the saving of memory.
Example:
Program to find the sum of two Complex number using the concept of dynamic
constructor
#include<iostream>
class complex
{
int *real,*imag;
public:
complex()
{
real=new int;
imag=new int;

*imag=0;
}

real=new int;
*real=r;
imag=new int;
*imag=i;
}
void display()
{
cout<<*real<<"+i"<<*imag<<endl;
}
{
*real=*c1.real+*c2.real;
*imag=*c1.imag+*c2.imag;
}
};

int main()
{
complex c1(5,10);
complex c2(2,4);
complex c3;
cout<<"First complex number=";
c1.display();
cout<<"Second complex number=";
c2.display();
cout<<"Sum =";
c3.display();
return 0;
}
WAP to concatenate two string using the concept of dynamic constructor.

stringc()
{
length=0;
name=new char[length + 1];
}
stringc(char s[])
{
length=strlen(s);
name=new char[length+1];
strcpy(name,s);
}
void join(stringc &a,stringc &b)
{
length=a.length+b.length;
delete name;
strcpy(name,a.name);
strcat(name,b.name);
}

void display()
{
cout<<name<<endl;
}
};
int main ()
{
stringc s1("Hello");
stringc s2("Nepal");
stringc s3;
s3.join(s1,s2);
s3.display();
return 0;
return 0;
}
Dynamic initialization of object

Dynamic initialization of object refers to initializing the objects at run time i.e. the initial
value of an object is to be provided during run time. Dynamic initialization can be achieved
using constructors and passing parameters values to the constructors. This type of
initialization is required to initialize the class variables during run time.
Need of dynamic initialization

Dynamic initialization of objects is needed as
•It utilizes memory efficiently.
•Various initialization formats can be provided using overloaded constructors.
•It has the flexibility of using different formats of data at run time considering the situation.

Program example to explain the concept of dynamic initialization
#include <iostream>
class simple_interest
{
float principle , time, rate ,interest;
public:
simple_interest (float a, float b, float c)
{
principle = a;
time =b;
rate = c;
}
void display ( ) {
interest =(principle* rate* time)/100;

cout<<"interest ="<<interest ;
}
};
int main()
{
float p,t,r;
cout<<"principle amount, time and rate"<<endl;
cin>>p>>t>>r;
simple_interest s1(p,t,r);//dynamic initialization
s1.display();
return 0;
}

Inheritance Old question solution(Theory)
1. When base class and derived class have the same function name what happens when
derived class object calls the function?[PU 2017 fall]
When the base class and derived class have the same function name, the derived class function
overrides the function that is inherited from base class, which is known as function overriding.
Now, when derived class object calls that overridden function, the derived class member
function is accessed.
For example:
#include<iostream>
class Base
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"This is base class"<<endl;
}
};
class Derived:public Base
{
public:
void display()
{
cout<<"This is derived class"<<endl;
}
};
int main()
{
Derived d;
d.display();
return 0;
}
Output:
This is derived class
In this example, the class derived inherits the public member function display() .When we
redefine this function in derived class then the inherited members from base are
overridden.so when derived class object calls the function display() it actually refers the
function in derived class but not the inherited member function in base class.

2. How inheritance support reusability features of OOP? Explain with example.
[PU:2010 spring]
Using the concept of inheritance the data member and member function of classes can
be reused. When once a class has been written and tested, it can be adapted by another
programmer to suit their requirements. This is basically done by creating new classes,
reusing the properties of the existing ones. This mechanism of deriving a new class from
an old one is called inheritance.
A derived class includes all features of the base class and then it can add additional
features specific to derived class.
Example:
#include<iostream>
class Sum
{
protected:
int a,b;
public:
void getdata()
{
cout<<"Enter two numbers"<<endl;
cin>>a>>b;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"b="<<b<<endl;
}
};
class Result:public Sum
{
private:
int total;
public:
void disp_result()
{
total=a+b;
cout<<"sum="<<total<<endl;
}
};

int main()
{
Result r;
r.getdata();
r.display();
r.disp_result();
return 0;
}
Here, In above example Sum is base class and Result is derived class. The data member named
a and b and member function display () of base class are inherited and they are used by using
the object of derived class named Result. Hence, we can see that inheritance provides
reusability.
3. How are arguments are sent to base constructors in multiple inheritance ?Who is
responsibility of it.[PU:2013 spring]
In Multiple Inheritance arguments are sent to base class in the order in which they
appear in the declaration of the derived class.
For example:
Class gamma: public beta, public alpha
{
}
Order of execution
beta(); base constructor (first)
alpha(); base constructor(second)
gamma();derived (last)
The constructor of derived class is responsible to supply values to the base class
constructor.
Program:
#include<iostream>
class alpha
{
int x;
public:
alpha(int a)
{
x=a;
cout<<"Alpha is initialized"<<endl;
}
void showa()
{
}
};
class beta
{
int y;
public:
beta(int b)
{
y=b;
cout<<"Beta is initialized"<<endl;
}
void showb()
{
}
};
{
int z;
public:
{
z=c;
cout<<"Gamma is initialized"<<endl;
}
void showg()
{
}
};

int main()
{
gamma g(5,10,15);
g.showa();
g.showb();
g.showg();
return 0;
}
Output:
Beta is initialized
Alpha is initialized
Gamma is initialized
x=5
y=10
z=15
Here, beta is initialized first although it appears second in the derived constructor as it has been
declared first in the derived class header line
class gamma: public beta, public alpha
{}
If we change the order to
class gamma: public alpha, public beta

{}
then alpha will be initialized first
4. Class ‘Y’ has been derived from class ‘X’ .The class ‘Y’ does not contain any data
members of its own. Does the class ‘Y’ require constructors? If yes why.[PU:2013
spring]
When Class ‘Y’ has been derived from class ‘X’ and class ‘Y’ does not contain any data members
of its own then,
 It is mandatory have constructor in derived class ‘Y’, whether it has data members to be
initialized or not, if there is constructor with arguments(parameterized constructor) in
base class ‘X’.
 It not necessary to have constructor in derived class ‘Y’ if base class ‘X’ does not contain
a constructor with arguments (parameterized constructor).
Derived class constructor is used to provide the values to the base class constructor.

Example
#include<iostream>
class X
{
private:
int a;
public:
X (int m)
{
a=m;
}
void display()
{
}
};
class Y:public X
{
public:
Y(int b):X(b)
{
}
};
int main()
{
Y obj(5);
obj.display();
return 0;
}
Here, in above example, class ‘Y’ does not have any data members but there is a parameterized
constructor in class ‘X’ so, there is necessary to have constructor in class ‘Y’.

5. Write a short notes on:
Generalization[PU:2013 spring]
Generalization is the process of taking out common properties and functionalities from two or
more classes and combining them together into another class which acts as the parent class of
those classes or what we may say the generalized class of those specialized classes. All the
subclasses are a type of superclass. So we can say that subclass “is-A” superclass. Therefore
Generalization is termed as “is-A relationship”.
Here is an example of generalization:
In this figure, we see that there are two types of flights so we made a flight class which will
contain common properties and then we has an international and domestic class which are an
extension of flight class and will have properties of flight as well as their own. Here flight is the
parent/superclass and the other two are child/subclass. International Flight “is-a” flight as well
as the domestic flight.
6. Explain how composition provide reusability.

In composition one class contains object of another class as its member data, which means
members of one class is available in another class. Composition exhibits “has-a” relationship.
For example, Company has an employee.
So, properties of one class can be used by another class independently.

Let us consider an example
#include<iostream>
class Employee
{
int eid;
float salary;
public:
void getdata()
{
cout<<"Enter id and salary of employee"<<endl;
cin>>eid>>salary;
}
void display()
{
cout<<"Emp ID:"<<eid<<endl;
}
};
class Company
{
char cname[20];
Employee e;
public:
void getdata()
{
e.getdata();
cout<<"Enter company name and Deparment:"<<endl;
cin>>cname>>department;
}
void display()
{
e.display();
cout<<"Company name:"<<cname<<endl;
}
};

int main()
{
Company c;
c.getdata();
c.display();
return 0;
}
In above example class company contains the object of another class employee. As we know
“company has a employee” sounds logical .so there exits has a relationship between company
and employee. Class company contains the object of class employee and members of class
employee are used in class company which provides reusability.
