1.1 Introduction to Object Oriented Programming

C is a procedural language which is very powerful and mainly used in

cdeveloping of system software like Operating system kernel, compilers
editors etc and is also used for developing application software. But C
language could not model real world problems, because of this advantage
it has led to the development of C++. C++ is an object oriented
programming language developed by Bjarne Stroutsup at AT & T Bell
Laboratories, USA in early 1980's. C++ is an extension of C with concept
of classes and objects. The C++ language has added object oriented
features like classes, objects, inheritance, function overloading, operator
overloading, virtual functions etc. All these features are not available in C
language and these features are so powerful that they help in modeling of
real world problems more effectively, hence, C++ became more popular
choice among programmers for application development.

3. Procedure oriented programs supports modular programs

i.e., a larger program performing a task is divided
into
number of modules called procedures or functions.

4 In a procedure oriented programming, data is not secure, as it

is freely moved from one function to another.

5. Every function or procedure in a procedure oriented

programming environment can have access to global data, can
change their values, leaving the resultant code with more
bugs.

6. Compilers implementing procedure oriented program ming

do not prevent unauthorized functions from accessing or
manipulating variables in a programn.

7. Procedure oriented programming is difficult to design,

maintain and enhance the software.

object oriented programming data centric.

2. More emphasis is laid on data rather than on procedures or

algorithms

3. A module in object oriented programming paradigm is made

to be a collection óf classes and objects rather than dividing

enabling data security. Only the associated functions can
operate on the data and there is no chance of bugs creeping

ii) Polymorphism
The meaning of Polymorphism is "having multiple
forms". It is a phenomenon by virtue of which a single
entity can exist in two or more forms. For example,
OOP two functions can have same name with differen
set of arguments, this is known as function overloadin8
which is a kind of polymorphism. 'The other kind o
polymorphism is achieved through virtual functions an
operator overloadin8

iii) Encapsulation
It is a mechanism by which data and functions are
packed together into a single unit called class.
Encapsulation provides data security, i.e., the data inha
particular class is not accessible to the outside world. The
functions that are packed in same class can have direct
access to the data of particular class.

iv)Abstraction
It is an idea of representing necessary details without
including background details which are needed for
presentation. This helps in reducing the complexities im
understanding the unnecessary details, that are really not
so important or needed. Class use the concept of example
of Abstraction.

10. Some of the languages which supports object oriented

programming are C++, Java, Smalltalk etc.

1.1.3.1 Console Output PoinaD

The cout is used to write the characters on to the standard output
stream. The operator "<<", which is a binary operator sends the
contents of the variable on its right to the object on its left. The
operator "<<" is also called as insertion operator. This operator is
actually bitwise left-shift operator but it has been overloaded to
make it work as insertion operator. The advantage of insertion
operator is that it does not require any format specifiers like %d,
%C. %t ete as in C language to
represent the data of different data
typcs.

Example:
cout'x="<<x<<endl;
The above statement tries to write the value of x on the screen or
monitor.

1.1.3.2 Console Inputinsteol of Scan)

The binary operator ">>" is also known as extraction operator
which is used to get the data from the object on its left, i.e., the
standard input stream, and tries to store in the memory location
associated with it using variables towards its right. This operator is
bitwise right-shift operator but it has been overloaded to make it
work as extraction operator.

Example:
cin>>"x;

The above statement waits for the user to enter a value through the
keyboard.

1.1.4 Keywords in C++

Keywords are reserved words whose meaning is already been
defined for a particular language. The keywords cannot be used as
variable names. The keywords that are available in C++ language
can be represented in the table as follows:

1.1.5 New style of header file specification

In ANSI Ct+ standárd, a new way to specify header files is
defined. They do not use the old style of h cxtensions to file
names, examples are #include<iostream>, #include<fstrcam> etc.

The old style of header file specification like "iostream.h" ,

"fstream.h" is also supported to maintain backward compatibility.
The new version of header files can be represented in the table as
follows:
Old Version New Version

1.1.6 Comments in C++
In C language, multiline comments are used. In C, the comments
are enclosed between_* and */. In C++, we have single line
comments starting with symbol two forward slashes i.c., //. Any
comment should be preceded by //. C++ supports both types of
comment styles. The lines that are commented will never be a part
of compliation code.

A sample program which includes comments can be as follows:

Programn

return 0;

1.1.7 Variables in C++

A variable is a memory location reserved for use by the program
and is referenced by a specific name. The variables contain values
that can be modified during the program execution. The valucs
rnay be data of different types such as int, float, double etc. Before
1sing the variable, it should be declared by stating the data type of
value that the variable contains. In C, all the variables has: to be
defined at the beginning of scope ie., above all cxecutable
statements, whereas in C++, declaration can be done anywhere in
the scope, i.e., variable can be specified where it has to be used.
While naming a variable, it must be remembered that, the variable
name should not be a keyword and whitespaces are not allowed in
variable name. The variable name may contain a letter, digit and an
underscore(_) character.

1.1.8 Reference Variables in C++

A reference variable is an implicit pointer. A reference variable is a
reference or alias for a previously defined variable. The memory
location of the already existing variable is shared by the reference
variable. The reference variable should not be initialized to address
of an object. The syntax for declaring a reference variable is as
follows:

data type> & <reference_variable> = <existing_variable>

Where
data type>> is the type pf data to which the reference variable
is implicitlypointing
&-is known as reference operator
<reference_variable> -> is the new variable which is pointing to the
already exisiting variable and acts as reference
->is known as assignment operator
existing_variable> is the previously defined variable whicn
originally holds the data

return 0;

1.1.8.1 Features of Reference variable in C++

a. A reference variable must be initialized at the time of
declaration itself.

1 b. Once a reference is made for a variable, it cannot.be made to

2 refer to any other variable.

C. A variable and its reference are bonded strongly, such that a

change in one necessarily results in a change in other.

d. Like int, float and double, the reference variable can also be
made to reference pointer.

e. The major advantage of reference variables is in passing them

as arguments to functions, this have a greater advantage of
ot over passing the address of variables to functions as pointers.

A function can also return by relerence.

:
A reference to an array is allowed in C++.

1.1.9 The bool Data type

It is a new data type added to the C++ language. This datatype has
0.
two values 'true' and "false. 'true' means land 'false' means
'true' and 'false' are keywords in C++.

message, because C++ is strict in type checking.

An example of function prototyping is as follows:

float add(int x, float y);

The above statement tells compiler that add is a function which

passes two parameters, first one being int and second one being
float, and the function add() returns the value.of floating point
type to the calling function.

 Object Oriented Concepts and Programming/13

The above example can also be written as follows:

float add(int, float);
The argunment name is not required, it just acts as a placcholder for
the values. The compiler mainly looks for the type of arguments
and it does not matter whether the argument name is specilied or
not.

return(a+b);

1.1.11 Function Overloading

In C++ programming, it is allowed to create two or more functions
with the same name but their parameter declarations should be
different. Hence, the functions that share the same name are said to
be overloaded and the process is called as function overloading. It

is also known as function polymorphism in
the user to create a set of functions with same names but number
and types of parameter list should be different in each function
with the help of function overloading. The correct function to be
invoked is determined by checking the number and type of the
arguments but not on the return type of the function. Hlencea
function prototype is much necessary and it tries to match
function call to the correct function definition.

Visit us at http:// www.dotcombooks4u.com

14/00PS Introduction3ei

The compiler tries to implement BIST MATCHING strategy whil

performing function overloading on functions, and the strategy is
as follows:

a) Looks for the cxact match of a function prototype with thatof

a function call statement.

b) In case an cxact match is unavailable, it tries to look for

nearest exact match, i.e, the compiler will perform integral
data promotions and then match the call statement with the
function prototype.

) If neither of the case works, then it tries to give an error

message.

Rules for Function Overloading

a) Each overloaded function must differ either by number of its
formal parameters, their data types or sequence of the
parameters.

b) The default arguments of the overloaded functions are not

considered as a part of the parameter list by C++ Compiler.

The return type of overloaded functions may or may not be

same.

1.1.12 Default Arguments .

It is a concept of C++ in which a function assigns a default values

for some or all of formal arguments which does not have a
matching argument in the function call, these default values are
called as "default arguments". This allows us to call a function
e1gwithout assigning all its arguments. If no value is passed for any of
the formal arguments when the function is acalled, the default
value specified in the function prototype is passed to the to the
corresponding formal argument and if all arguments are passed
when the function is called then the default value is ignored.

 Object Oriented Concepts and Programming/17

The inline functions are defined as follows:

inline function-header

function-body

Example
inline double cube(double a)

return (a'a"a);

The above inline function can be invoked by statements like

C=cube(3.0);
d=cube(2.5+1.5);
After execution the value of c and d will be 27 and 64.

lt is easy to make the function inline, all that is required is to add

prefix inline to the function definition. All inline functions must be
defined before they are called. The functions are made inline when
they are small enough to be defined in one or two lines.

Some of situations where inline expansions may not work are:

a. For functions returning values, if loop, a switch or a goto
exists

b. For functions not returning values, if a return statement exists.

C. If functions contain static variables.

d. If inline functions are recursive.

1.1.14 Scope Resolution Operator

Like C, C++ is also a block structured programming language.
Blocks and scope can be used: in constructing programs. Same
variable name can be used to have different meanings in different
blocks. The scope of variable extends from the point of its
declaration till the end of the block containing the declaration.
Variable declared inside a block is said to be local to that block./

18/0OPS Introduction

For example, suppose if the

code is as follows:
Scope resolution operator....

int x = 10;

intx= 1;
***

memory locations
Two declarations of x refer to two different
containing different values.

Statements in the one block cannot refer to the variable x

The blocks in C++
declared in the another block, and vice versa, since
are often nested.

For exanple, suppose if the code is as follows:

be resolved by introducing a new operator :: called scope resolution

operator, which is used to uncover a hidden variable.

It takes the form as follows:

: variable-name

The scope resolution operator allows access to global version ot the

variable count and not the local variable count declared in that
block.

The major application of scope resolution operator will be in the

classes where there a problem arises to identify the class to which
member function belongs.

Program
#include <iostream>
int n = 12: // A global variablet
int main

n= 13; // A local variable

int
cout <<:n << "\n':// Print the global variable: 12
:cout<n <<'\n'; // Printthe local variable: 13

12 Classes and Object

1.2.1 Structures in C
Structures in C language provides a method for packing together
data of different types. It is convenient. for handling a group of
logically related data items. The User-defined daa type is used
with a template to define its data properties. Once the structure
type has been defined, it is necessary to create variables of that type
using declarations that are similar to the buit-in type declarations.
Structure can have arrays, pointers or structures as members.

Example:
struct student|
char name|20];

Visit us at http :// www.dotcombooks4u.com

20/0OPS Introduction

int roll number;

float total_marks;

In the above example, the keyword struct declares studcnt as a new

data type that holds three fields of different data types and the
ficlds are known as structure members or elements. The identifier
student is referred to as structure name or structure tag, and it can
be used to create variables of type student,

Example:
struct student A; //C declaration
In the above statement, A is a variable of type student and has
thre
member variables as defined by the template. Member variables
can be accessed using the dot or period operator as:

strcpy(A.name,"ABC");
A.roll_number=1;
A.total_marks=595.5;

Limitations of C Structures
A
a Cdoes not allow the struct data type to be treated
like built-in
types.

Example:

 Object Oriented Concepts and Programming/21

b. C structures do not permit data hiding. Members can be

directly accessed (public members) by the structure variables
by any function anywhere in their scope.

1.2.2 Structure in C++

C++ supports all the features of structures as defined in C. is
It also
expanded to suits its OOP features. It attempts to bring the user-
defined type as close as possible to the built-in data types and also
provides a facility to hide the data which is one of the main feature
of OOP. Inheritance is a mechanism by which one type can inherit
characteristics from other types which is also supported by
* In
C++, a structure can have both variables and functions as members.
It also declare some of its members as private and they cannot be
ccessed directly by the external functions. In C+*, structure names
are stand-alone and can be used like any other type names. The
keyword. struct can be omitted in the declaration of structure
variables.

Example
Declaration student A is valid in C++ but it is not in C language.

C++ incorporates all these extensions in another user-defined type

known as class. Class is a specially introduced data type in C++,
most of the C++ programmers tend to use the structures for
holding only data, and classes to hold both data and functions.
1.2.3 Access Specifier
There are 3 access specifiers for a class/struct/Union in C++. These
access specifiers define how the members of the class can be
accessed. Any member of a class is accessible within that
class(Inside any member function of that same class). The three
different types of access specifiers are as follows

Public - The members declared as Public are accessible from

outside the Class through an object of the class.

Protected- The members declared as Protected are accessible from

outside the class but only in a class derived from it.

The general form of class declaration is as follows:

The class declaration is similar to struct. The 'keyword class

enclosed within braccs and terminated by a semicolon. It contains
the declaration of variables and functions and is collectively called
as class members. It is usually grouped under two sections, namely
private and public to denote which of the members are private and
which of them are public. The keywords private and public are
known as visibility labelsand arcfollowed by colon(;). Class
members declared as private can be acccssed only from within t
class. On the other hand, public members can be accossed fron
outside the class also. The data-hiding (using private declaration) "

the key feature of object-oriented programming. The use of private

keyword is optional. By default, the members of a class are private.
If both the labels are missing, then, by default, all members are
private. And class is completely hidden from outside and does not
serve any purpose. Variables declared inside the class are known as
data members and the functions are known as member functions.
Only the member functions have access to the private data
members and private functions.The public members (both
functions and data) can be accessed from outside the class. The
binding of data and functions together into a single class-type
variable is referred to as encapsulation.

In general, class can be represented in the figure as follows:

CLASS

A typical class declaration can be as follows

class item
int number; // variables declaration
float cost;// private by default
public:
void getdata(int a, float b);// functions declaration
void putdata(void); //using prototype
// ends with semicolon

1.2.6 Characteristics of Access Specifier

Member access determines if a class member is accessible in an
expression or declaration. For example, suppose if x is a member ot
class A, then class member x can be declared to have one of the
follo wing levels of accessibility:

public: x can be used anywhere without the access restrictions

defined by private or protected.

private: x can be used only by the members and friends of class A.

 Object Oriented Concepts and Programming/27

An access specifier specifics the acccssibility of members that

follow it until the next access specificr or until the end of he class
definition. You can usc any number of access specificrs in any
order. If you later define a class member within its class definition,
its access specification must be the same as its declaration. A class
member has the same access control regardiess whether it has been
delined within its class or outside its class.Access control applies lo
names. In particular, if you add access control to a typedef name, it
affects only the typedef name.

The menmbership label clasS-name:: tells the compjler that the

function function-name belongs to the classname. The scope of
function is restricted to the class-name specified in the header
linc.The symbol : is called the scope resolution operator.

The member functions have some special characteristics that are

often used in the program development.

Several different classes can use the same function name. The
membership label 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.

Example:
void item:: getdata(int a, float b)o N

number=a;
cost= b;

void item:: putdata(void)

cout << "Number=" << number'<< "\n"

cout << "Cost= << cost << "\n";
"

1.2.8 Initialization of variable in C++

When declaring a' regular local variable, its value is by default
concrete
undetermined.. But you may wan t a variable to store a
value at the same moment that it is declared. In order to do that,
in
you can initialize the variable. There are two ways to do this
C++, they are as follows:
an
The first one, known as c-like initializntion, is done by appending
equal sign followed by the value to which the variable will

initialized:

type identifier = initial_value;

 Object Oriented Concepts and Programming/29

For example, if we want to declare an int variable

called n initialized with a value of 0 at the moment in which it is
declared, we could write:

int a = 0;

The otherway to initializc variables, known as consiruclor

initialization, is done by enclosing the initial value between
parentheses ():
type identifier(initialLvaluc);
For example:

int a (0);

Both ways of initializing variables are valid and equivalent in C++,

Programn
I/ initialization of variables
#include ciostream> .

Using namespace std;

int a=5; // initial value = 5
int b(2): / initial value 2
int result //initial value undetermined
a = a+ 3: -
result a b;
COut << result;
return 0;

1.2.9 Arrow Operator

The arrow operator, -> (that's a minus sign followed immediately
by a greater than), dereferences a pointer to select a ficld. It is
common to dynamically allocate structure variables, so this
operator is commonly used.

1.2.10 'this' pointer

The this pointer is a special pointer which is built-in pointer. C++
uses a unique keyword called this tò represent an object that
invokes a member function. It stores the address of current object in
context. The current object can be referred using this pointer any
where in the class. "this" is a pointer that points to the object for
which this function is called, The this pointer can be used only
inside the class, i.e. only inside the member function of the class
and cannot be used outside the the class. The this pointer is a
constant pointer. The unique pointer is automatically passed to a
member function when it is called. The pointer this acts as an
implicit argument to all the member functions.

For an object say, class demo, type of this will be demo* const this.

For a n object of say class temp, type of this will be temp*const this.

When non-static. member's function is called for an object, the

address of the object is passed as hidden argument to the function.

For example: suppose the function call is as follows:

mydate.setmonth(3;
Can be interpreted as
setmonth(&mydate, 3);

Features of this pointer

a) It is an implicit pointer used by the system
b) It stores the address of the current object in reference

c)It is constant pointer to an object

can only be used within non-static functions of the class.

The this pointer is non-modifiable, assignment to this are not
allowed.

In the above syntax, the membership label class-name tells the
compiler that the function function-name belongs to the classnamc.

The scope of the function is restricted to the class-name specilicd in

the header line.

The symbol : is called the scope resolution operator.

The characteristics of member functions are as follows:

a. Several different classes can use the same function name. Ihe

b. Member functions can access the private data of the class.
non-member function cannot do so.

C. A member function can call another member function directly,

Private Member Functions

It is a normal practice to place all the data items in a private section
and all the functions in public. Some situations require to have
functions to be hidden from the outside calls. Tasks such as
deleting account in a customer file, or providing increment to an
employee are events of serious consequences and the functions

Example
class sample{
int m;
void read(void);
public:
// privale member function
void update (void);

- Lets sl be a object of class sample,

then s1.read() is illegal since
read is private member function
to class sample. The function
read() can be called by the function
update() as:
void sample:: update(void) {
read(); // simple call; no object used.

Data Members
Data members include members that are declared
with any of the
fundamental types, as well as other types, including
pointer,
reference, array types, bit fields, and user-defined types. You
can
declare a data member the same way as a variable, except
that
explicit initializers are not allowed inside the class definition.
However, a const static data member of integral or enumeration
type may have an explicit initializer.

I an array is declared as a nonstatic class member, you must

specify all of the dimensions of the array.

A class can have members that are of a class type or are pointers or
references to a class type. Members that are of a class type must be
of a class type that has been previously declared. An incomplete
class type can be used in a member declaration as long as the size
of the class is not needed. For example, a member can be declared
that is a pointer to an incomplete class type.

Characteristics of Friend Functions

a. t is not in the scope of the class to which it has been declared
as friend, since it is not in the scope of the class, it cannot be
called using the object of that class.

b.It can be invoked like a normal function without the help ot

any object. Unlike member functions, it cannot access the
member names directly and has to use an objcct name and dot
membership operator with each member name.

C. It can be declared either in the public or the private part of a

class without affecting its meaning.

d. It has the objects as arguments.

When member functions of one class can be friend functions of

another class. In such cases they are defined using the scope
resolution operator.

Example:
class x {

int fun1(0:// member function of x eaplont

class y{
friend intx:: fun1(); // fun1 of x is friend of y.

In the above cxample, the function fun1) is. a member of class x

and friend of class y.

It is also possible to declare all the member functions of one class as

the friend functions of another class.

2.1.5 Passing Class Objects to Function argurnentg

Like any other data type, an object is used as a function
it can be done in two ways, they are as follows:
a. A copy of the entire object is passed to the function
object
In this method, it uses pass-by-value. Since copy of the
te is passed to the function, any changes made to the object
inside the function do not affect the object used to call the
function.

b. Only the address of the object is transferred to the function.

In this method, it uses pass-by-reference. When an address of
the object is passed, the called function works directly on the
actual object used in the call. Any changes made to the object
inside the function will reflect in the actual object. The pass, by
reference is more efficient since it requires to pass only the
address of the object and not the entire object. An object can
also be passed as an argument to a nonmember function. Such
functions have access to the public member functions only
through the objects passed as arguments to it and it cannot
have access to the private data members.

2.1.6 Returning Objects from Functions

A function cannot only receive objects as
arguments but also can
return them.

2.1.7 Nested Classes

A nested class is declared within the scope of another class. The
name of a nested class is local to its enclosing class. Unless you use
explicit pointers, references, or object names, declarations in a
nested class can only use visible constructs, including type names,
static members, and enumerators from the enclosing class and
global variables, Member functions of a nested class follow regular
access rules and have no special access privileges to members of
their enclosing classes. Member functions of the enclosing clas
have no special access to members of a nested class.

2.1.8 Namespaces
Namespaces allow to group entities like classes, objects and
functions under a name. This way the global scope can be divided
in "sub-scopes", each one with its own name.
The format of namespaces is as follows: om,lni

Dynamic Memory Managemen

2.2.1 Introduction
The Operators new and delete are exclusive of C++ and they are
not available in the C language. Dynamic memory management
can be pOssible using two operators, they are new and delete in
C++.

22.2 Dynamic Memory Allocation using "new"

In order
order to .request dynamic memory we use the the
operator new. "new" is followed by a data type specifier and if a
sequence of more than one element is required then the number of
these will be within brackets [. It returns a pointer to the beginning
of the new block of memory allocated.

Its form is as follows:

pointer=new type
pointer= new type fnumber of_clements]

The first expression "pointer=new type": is. used to allocate

memory to contain one single element of type type. The second one
is used to assign a block (an array) of elements of type type,
where number_of_elements is an integer value representing the
amount of these.

int hobby;
hobby= new int [5|

Example
Suppose if the declaration is integer intl;
Tt not only creates the object
intl of type integer but also initializes
its aata members m and n to zero. There is no need to write any
staterient to invoke the constructor function (as with normal
function). If a 'normal' member function is defined for zeroo
initialization, it is necessary to invoke this function for each of the
objecis separately. It would be inconvenient if there are a large
number of objects.

2.3.2 Characteristics
of Constructor
a. It should be declared in
the public section.
b. It is invoked automatically
when the objects are created

C. t do not have return types, not even void and therefore, they
cannot return values.

d. It cannot be inherited, though a derived class can

call the base
class constructor.

e. Like other C++ functions, they can have default arguments.

f. Constructors cannot be virtual.

8 It is not possible to refer their addresses.

h. An object with a constructor (or destructor) cannot be used as

a member of a union.

Constructors make 'implicit calls' to the operators new and

á delete when memory allocation is required.
2.3.3 Types of Constructor
Various types of constructors that are available in C++ are as
follows:

Default Constructor
A constructor accepting no parameters is called the default
constructor.

The default constructor for class A is A: A0. If no such

constructor is defined, then the compiler supplies a default
constructor. The statement A a; invokes the default
constructor of the compiler to create the object a. Whena

int m, n;
public:
integer() m=0; n=0;}
integer(inta, int b) {m=a; n=b;}
integer(integer & i)
m=i.m;n=i.n;}

In the above example, the program allow us to declare thrce

constructors for an integer object.

The first constructor receives no arguments, the second

receives two integer arguments and the third receives one
integer object as an argument.

The declaration integer i1; automatically invoke the first

constructor and set both m and n of il to zero.

The statement integer i2(20, 40); call the sccond constructor

which will initialize the data members m and n of i2 to 20 and
40 respectively.
Finally, the statement integer 13(2); invoke the third
constructor which copies the values of i2 into 13. It sets the
value of every data element of i3 to the valuc of the
corresponding data element of i2. 7

f. Dynamic Constructors
t e The constructors can also be used to allocate memory while
creating objects.It enable the system to allocate the right
amount of memory for each object when the objects are not of
the same size, resulting in the saving of memory. The
allocation of memory to objects at the time of their
construction is known as dynamic construction of objects. The
memory is allocated with the help of the new operator.
