OOP - Lab7 - Classes and Objects

The document discusses object oriented programming and C++ classes. It explains how to create a class with attributes like variables and methods like functions. It also explains how to create objects from a class and access the class attributes using dot notation on the object. The document provides an example of creating a class called MyClass with integer and string attributes, and creating an object of MyClass to access and set the attribute values. It also outlines tasks for a lab assignment, including creating an Invoice class with attributes for part number, description, quantity and price, with getters and setters for each attribute and a method to calculate the invoice amount.

C++ Classes/Objects
C++ is an object-oriented programming language.

Everything in C++ is associated with classes and objects, along with its attributes and methods.
For example: in real life, a car is an object. The car has attributes, such as weight and color, and
methods, such as drive and brake.

Attributes and methods are basically variables and functions that belongs to the class. These are
often referred to as "class members".

A class is a user-defined data type that we can use in our program, and it works as an object
constructor, or a "blueprint" for creating objects.

Create a Class
To create a class, use the class keyword:

Example
Create a class called "MyClass":

class MyClass { // The class


public: // Access specifier
int myNum; // Attribute (int variable)
string myString; // Attribute (string variable)
};

Example explained
The class keyword is used to create a class called MyClass.
The public keyword is an access specifier, which specifies that members (attributes and methods)
of the class are accessible from outside the class. You will learn more about access specifiers
later.

Inside the class, there is an integer variable myNum and a string variable myString. When
variables are declared within a class, they are called attributes.
At last, end the class definition with a semicolon ;.

Create an Object
In C++, an object is created from a class. We have already created the class named MyClass, so
now we can use this to create objects.

To create an object of MyClass, specify the class name, followed by the object name.

To access the class attributes (myNum and myString), use the dot syntax (.) on the object:

Example
Create an object called "myObj" and access the attributes:
class MyClass { // The class
public: // Access specifier
int myNum; // Attribute (int variable)
string myString; // Attribute (string variable)
};

int main() {
MyClass myObj; // Create an object of MyClass

// Access attributes and set values


myObj.myNum = 15;
myObj.myString = "Some text";

// Print attribute values


cout << myObj.myNum << "\n";
cout << myObj.myString;
return 0;
}
LAB TASKS
Problem#01:

( Invoice Class) Create a class called Invoice that a hardware store might use to represent an invoice for
an item sold at the store. An Invoice should include four data members
1. a part number (type string ),
2. a part description (type string ),
3. a quantity of the item being purchased (type int ) and
4. a price per item (type int ).
Your class should have a constructor that initializes the four data members. Provide a set and a get
function for each data member. In addition, provide a member function named getInvoiceAmount that
calculates the invoice amount (i.e., multiplies the quantity by the price per item), then returns the amount
as an int value.
