C++ Viva

C++ is an object-oriented programming language that extends C with additional features like classes, objects, and inheritance. A class defines properties and behaviors that objects of that class can have. Object-oriented programming organizes code into reusable objects that encapsulate data and functions. Key concepts of OOP include inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. A class is a template for objects, while an object is an instance of a class.

 What is C++?

Answer: C++ is a general-purpose programming language that was developed as an extension of the C
programming language. It supports both procedural and object-oriented programming paradigms.

 What is the difference between C and C++?


Answer: C++ is an extension of the C programming language and includes addi onal features such as classes,
objects, and inheritance that support object-oriented programming. C, on the other hand, is a procedural
programming language without built-in support for objects and classes.

 What is an object in C++?


Answer: An object in C++ is an instance of a class. It represents a specific en ty with its own set of data and
func ons.

 What is a class in C++?


Answer: A class in C++ is a user-defined data type that serves as a blueprint for crea ng objects. It defines
the proper es (data members) and behaviors (member func ons) that objects of that class can have.

 What is object-oriented programming (OOP)?


Answer: Object-oriented programming is a programming paradigm that organizes data and func ons into
reusable structures called objects. It emphasizes the concepts of encapsula on, inheritance, and
polymorphism.

 What is the difference between a class and an object?


Answer: A class is a blueprint or template for crea ng objects, while an object is an instance of a class. In
other words, a class defines the structure and behavior, and an object represents a specific instance of that
class.

 What is encapsula on?


Answer: Encapsula on is an object-oriented programming concept that combines data and the func ons that
operate on that data into a single unit called a class. It provides data hiding and protects the data from
external access.

 What is inheritance?
Answer: Inheritance is a mechanism in which one class inherits the proper es and behaviors of another
class. It allows for code reuse and establishes a hierarchical rela onship between classes.

 What is polymorphism?
Answer: Polymorphism is the ability of an object to take on many forms. In C++, it can be achieved through
func on overloading and func on overriding.
a feature

 What is the purpose of the using namespace statement in C++?


Answer: The using namespace statement is used to avoid having to write the namespace explicitly for each
iden fier from that namespace.

 What is a header file in C++?


Answer: A header file in C++ is a file that contains declara ons of func ons, classes, and variables, which can
be included in other C++ source files.

 What is the difference between the ++i and i++ increment operators?
Answer: The ++i is the prefix increment operator that increments the value of i and then returns the
incremented value. The i++ is the pos ix increment operator that returns the current value of i and then
increments it.

 Explain the difference between a reference and a pointer in C++.


Answer: A reference in C++ is an alias or alterna ve name for an exis ng variable, whereas a pointer is a
variable that holds the memory address of another variable.

 What is a constructor in C++?


Answer: A constructor in C++ is a special member func on that is automa cally called when an object of a
class is created. It is used to ini alize the object's data members.

 What is the difference between a shallow copy and a deep copy?


Answer: A shallow copy copies the values of the data members of one object to another, including any
pointers. A deep copy creates a completely new copy of the object, including dynamically allocated memory.

 What is func on overloading in C++?


Answer: Func on overloading is a feature in C++ that allows mul ple func ons with the same name but
different parameter lists to be defined. The compiler determines which func on to call based on the
arguments passed.

 What is operator overloading in C++?


Answer: Operator overloading is a feature in C++ that allows operators to be redefined or extended to work
with user-defined data types. For example, the + operator can be overloaded to concatenate two strings.

 What is the new operator used for in C++?


Answer: The new operator in C++ is used to dynamically allocate memory for an object or array.

 What is the delete operator used for in C++?


Answer: The delete operator in C++ is used to deallocate memory that was previously allocated with the new
operator.

 What is the difference between delete and delete[]?


Answer: The delete operator is used to deallocate memory for a single object, whereas the delete[] operator
is used to deallocate memory for an array of objects.

 What is the this pointer in C++?


Answer: The this pointer in C++ is a pointer that holds the memory address of the current object. It is used to
refer to the object's own members inside member func ons.

 What is the difference between a class and a structure in C++?


Answer: In C++, the only difference between a class and a structure is that the members of a class are private
by default, while the members of a structure are public by default.

 What is a virtual func on in C++?


Answer: A virtual func on in C++ is a func on that can be overridden in a derived class. It allows the correct
func on to be called based on the type of the object, even when using a pointer or reference to the base
class.

 What is a pure virtual func on?


Answer: A pure virtual func on is a virtual func on that is declared in a base class but has no
