C++ Programming Exam Notes

Unit I – Input Output & Functions in C++


**Unformatted I/O**: Basic input/output without formatting (e.g., cin, cout).

**Formatted I/O**: Input/output with format control using manipulators (e.g., setw,
setprecision).

**Insertion & Extraction Operators**: Operators << and >> used with cin and cout.

**Function Declaration and Definition**: Declaring the function prototype and writing the
body.

**Return Values**: The output a function provides after execution.

**Arguments**: Inputs passed to a function.

**Call by Value**: Sends a copy of the variable.

**Call by Reference**: Sends the address of the variable.

**Call by Pointer**: Similar to reference, but using pointers.

**Recursion**: A function calling itself.

**Inline Functions**: Functions expanded at compile time to reduce overhead.

**Function Overloading**: Defining multiple functions with the same name but different
parameters.

**Pointers**: Variables storing memory addresses.

**Structures**: User-defined data types for grouping different types.

**Union**: Similar to structures, but shares memory among members.

Unit II – Object-Oriented Features of C++


**Class and Object**: A class is a blueprint; an object is an instance of it.

**Data Hiding**: Restricting access using private/public keywords.

**Encapsulation**: Binding data and methods together.

**Abstraction**: Hiding internal details and showing only functionality.

**Data Members & Member Functions**: Variables and functions inside a class.
**Empty Class**: A class with no data or functions.

**Scope Resolution Operator (::)**: Access global variables or class members.

**Static Data Members**: Shared by all objects of the class.

**Friend Function/Class**: Allows non-members to access private data.

**Constructors**: Special function to initialize objects.

**Types of Constructors**: Default, parameterized, copy constructor.

**Destructors**: Clean-up function when object goes out of scope.

**Dynamic Initialization**: Initializing objects at runtime using constructors.

Unit III – Operator Overloading & Inheritance


**Operator Overloading**: Redefining operators for user-defined types.

**Unary/Binary Operators**: Operate on one/two operands (e.g., -, +).

**Inheritance**: Deriving a class from another.

**Derived Class**: The new class.

**Base Class**: The existing class.

**Types**: Single, multilevel, multiple, hierarchical, hybrid.

**Access Specifiers**: Public, private, protected—control member access.

**Virtual Base Class**: Prevents duplication in multiple inheritance.

**Abstract Class**: A class with at least one pure virtual function.

Unit IV – Virtual Functions, Polymorphism & Exception Handling


**Virtual Function**: Base class function redefined in derived class.

**Pure Virtual Function**: No body in base class; must be overridden.

**Polymorphism**: Same function behaving differently in different contexts.

**Exception Handling**: Managing errors during program execution.

**try/catch/throw**: Blocks used to handle exceptions.

**Catch All**: catch(...) catches any exception.


**Nested try Blocks**: try inside another try.

**Uncaught Exceptions**: Exceptions not handled cause program to crash.

Unit V – Practicum Overview


Write C++ programs to:

- Print messages (e.g., Your intro, Institute intro).

- Swap numbers.

- Use ternary operators to check even/odd and find max.

- Use constructors and destructors.

- Create and use a class with members like Length, Breadth, Height.

- Calculate volume using member functions.

- Overload constructors.

- Demonstrate exception handling.
