Class

A class is used to specify the form of an object and it combines data


representation and methods for manipulating that data into one neat
package
The data and functions within a class are called members of the class

Box class
class Box {
public:
double length; // Length of a box
double breadth; // Breadth of a box
double height; // Height of a box
};

CS253: Software Development and Operations Object-Oriented Programming Using C++ 2/9
Object

An object is created from a class


Objects of a class are declared in the same way as we declare
variables of basic types

Creation of Box class objects


Box Box1; // Declare Box1 of type Box
Box Box2; // Declare Box2 of type Box

CS253: Software Development and Operations Object-Oriented Programming Using C++ 3/9
Example:Classes and Objects
Box class and its objects
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Box {
public:
double length; // Length of a box
double breadth; // Breadth of a box
double height; // Height of a box
};

int main() {
Box Box1; // Declare Box1 of type Box
Box Box2; // Declare Box2 of type Box
double volume = 0.0; // Store the volume of a box here

// box 1 specification
Box1.height = 5.0; Box1.length = 6.0; Box1.breadth = 7.0;

// box 2 specification
Box2.height = 10.0; Box2.length = 12.0; Box2.breadth = 13.0;

// volume of box 1
volume = Box1.height * Box1.length * Box1.breadth;
cout << "Volume of Box1 : " << volume <<endl;

// volume of box 2
volume = Box2.height * Box2.length * Box2.breadth;
cout << "Volume of Box2 : " << volume <<endl;
return 0;
}

Member Functions

A function that has its definition or its prototype within the class
definition like any other variable.
It operates on any object of the class of which it is a member
Has access to all the members of a class for that object.

Class with function prototype


class Box {
public:
double length; double breadth; double height;
double getVolume(void);// Returns box volume
};

double Box::getVolume(void) {
return length * breadth * height;
}

Class with function defition


class Box {
public:
double length; double breadth; double height;

double getVolume(void) {
return length * breadth * height;
}
};

CS253: Software Development and Operations Object-Oriented Programming Using C++ 5/9
Invocation of Member Functions

Class with function defiition


Box myBox; // Create an object

myBox.getVolume(); // Call member function for the object

CS253: Software Development and Operations Object-Oriented Programming Using C++ 6/9
Example: Member Functions
Box class with functions
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Box {
public:
double length; // Length of a box
double breadth; // Breadth of a box
double height; // Height of a box

// Member functions declaration


double getVolume(void);
void setLength( double len );
void setBreadth( double bre );
void setHeight( double hei );
};

// Member functions definitions


double Box::getVolume(void) {
return length * breadth * height;
}

void Box::setLength( double len ) {


length = len;
}
void Box::setBreadth( double bre ) {
breadth = bre;
}
void Box::setHeight( double hei ) {
height = hei;
}

Example: Member Functions (Contd.)

Invocation of Box class functions


....

// Main function for the program


int main() {
Box Box1; // Declare Box1 of type Box
Box Box2; // Declare Box2 of type Box
double volume = 0.0; // Store the volume of a box here

// box 1 specification
Box1.setLength(6.0);
Box1.setBreadth(7.0);
Box1.setHeight(5.0);

// box 2 specification
Box2.setLength(12.0);
Box2.setBreadth(13.0);
Box2.setHeight(10.0);

// volume of box 1
volume = Box1.getVolume();
cout << "Volume of Box1 : " << volume <<endl;

// volume of box 2
volume = Box2.getVolume();
cout << "Volume of Box2 : " << volume <<endl;
return 0;
}
