MODULE I & II – OOPS NOTES

1.MEMORIZING GENERAL FORM OF A C++ PROGRAM WITH REAL TIME

EXAMPLE

General Structure of a C++ Program

#include <iostream> // Include necessary libraries

// Function prototypes (if needed)

void greetUser();

int main() {
// Main function where execution begins
greetUser();

// Your program logic here

return 0; // Indicate that the program ended successfully
}

// Function definitions
void greetUser() {
std::cout << "Hello, welcome to the C++ program!" << std::endl;
}

Real-Time Example: Simple Calculator

Now, let’s consider a simple calculator program that performs basic arithmetic operations.

#include <iostream>

void displayMenu();
float add(float a, float b);
float subtract(float a, float b);
float multiply(float a, float b);
float divide(float a, float b);

int main() {
int choice;
float num1, num2, result;

while (true) {
displayMenu();
std::cin >> choice;

if (choice == 5) break; // Exit the program

std::cout << "Enter two numbers: ";

std::cin >> num1 >> num2;
 switch (choice) {
case 1:
result = add(num1, num2);
std::cout << "Result: " << result << std::endl;
break;
case 2:
result = subtract(num1, num2);
std::cout << "Result: " << result << std::endl;
break;
case 3:
result = multiply(num1, num2);
std::cout << "Result: " << result << std::endl;
break;
case 4:
if (num2 != 0) {
result = divide(num1, num2);
std::cout << "Result: " << result << std::endl;
} else {
std::cout << "Error: Division by zero!" << std::endl;
}
break;
default:
std::cout << "Invalid choice. Please try again." << std::endl;
}
}

std::cout << "Thank you for using the calculator!" << std::endl;
return 0;
}

void displayMenu() {
std::cout << "Simple Calculator Menu:" << std::endl;
std::cout << "1. Add" << std::endl;
std::cout << "2. Subtract" << std::endl;
std::cout << "3. Multiply" << std::endl;
std::cout << "4. Divide" << std::endl;
std::cout << "5. Exit" << std::endl;
std::cout << "Enter your choice: ";
}

float add(float a, float b) {

return a + b;
}

float subtract(float a, float b) {

return a - b;
}

float multiply(float a, float b) {

return a * b;
}

float divide(float a, float b) {

return a / b;
}
Explanation

1. Include Directives: #include <iostream> allows us to use input and output streams.
2. Function Prototypes: We declare functions that we will define later. This helps in
organizing our code.
3. Main Function: The program starts execution from the main() function. It contains a
loop to display a menu and process user input.
4. Switch Statement: This handles the user’s choice and calls the appropriate arithmetic
function.
5. Functions for Operations: Each operation (add, subtract, multiply, divide) is
encapsulated in its own function, promoting code reusability.

Running the Program

To run this program:

1. Copy the code into a .cpp file (e.g., calculator.cpp).

2. Use a C++ compiler (like g++) to compile it:

bash
Copy code
g++ calculator.cpp -o calculator

3. Run the compiled program:

bash
Copy code
./calculator

This simple calculator program showcases fundamental C++ concepts, such as input/output,
functions, control structures, and loops.

2. SUMMARIZING CLASSES AND OBJECTS WITH REAL TIME EXAMPLE

Classes and objects are fundamental concepts in C++. A class is a blueprint for creating objects
(instances), encapsulating data and functions that operate on that data.

Example: A Simple Banking System

Let's create a simple banking system where we have a BankAccount class to model a bank
account.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
class BankAccount {
private:
std::string accountHolderName;
double balance;

public:
// Constructor
BankAccount(std::string name, double initialBalance) {
accountHolderName = name;
balance = initialBalance;
}

// Function to deposit money

void deposit(double amount) {
if (amount > 0) {
balance += amount;
std::cout << "Deposited: $" << amount << std::endl;
} else {
std::cout << "Invalid deposit amount!" << std::endl;
}
}

// Function to withdraw money

void withdraw(double amount) {
if (amount > 0 && amount <= balance) {
balance -= amount;
std::cout << "Withdrawn: $" << amount << std::endl;
} else {
std::cout << "Invalid withdrawal amount!" << std::endl;
}
}

// Function to display balance

void displayBalance() const {
std::cout << "Account Holder: " << accountHolderName << std::endl;
std::cout << "Current Balance: $" << balance << std::endl;
}
};

int main() {
// Creating an object of BankAccount
BankAccount account("Alice", 1000.0);

// Displaying initial balance

account.displayBalance();

// Performing some transactions

account.deposit(200.0);
account.withdraw(150.0);
account.withdraw(1200.0); // Invalid withdrawal

// Displaying final balance

account.displayBalance();

return 0;
}
Explanation

1. Class Definition:
o The BankAccount class encapsulates two private data members:
accountHolderName and balance.
o The class has a constructor to initialize these members.
2. Member Functions:
o deposit(double amount): Adds money to the balance if the amount is valid.
o withdraw(double amount): Deducts money from the balance if the amount is
valid and does not exceed the current balance.
o displayBalance(): Prints the account holder's name and current balance.
3. Main Function:
o An object of BankAccount is created with an initial balance.
o The program performs deposit and withdrawal operations and displays the
account balance after each operation.

Running the Program

To run this program:

1. Save the code in a file named bank_account.cpp.

2. Compile the program using a C++ compiler:

bash
Copy code
g++ bank_account.cpp -o bank_account

3. Execute the compiled program:

bash
Copy code
./bank_account

Output

When you run the program, the output will look something like this:

Account Holder: Alice

Current Balance: $1000
Deposited: $200
Withdrawn: $150
Invalid withdrawal amount!
Account Holder: Alice
Current Balance: $1050
Summary

This example demonstrates how to create and use classes and objects in C++. The BankAccount
class encapsulates data and behaviors related to bank accounts, showcasing the principles of
encapsulation and data abstraction.

3. ORGANIZING CLASS MEMBERS WITH REAL TIME EXAMPLE

In C++, class members can be categorized into three main types: data members, member
functions, and constructors/destructors. Here's a real-time example to illustrate these concepts.

Example: A Library System

Let’s create a simple library system where we have a Book class that represents books in a
library.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

class Book {
private:
std::string title; // Data member
std::string author; // Data member
int publicationYear; // Data member
bool isAvailable; // Data member

public:
// Constructor
Book(std::string t, std::string a, int year) {
title = t;
author = a;
publicationYear = year;
isAvailable = true; // Initially, the book is available
}

// Member function to display book information

void displayInfo() const {
std::cout << "Title: " << title << "\n"
<< "Author: " << author << "\n"
<< "Publication Year: " << publicationYear << "\n"
<< "Availability: " << (isAvailable ? "Available" : "Checked
Out") << "\n";
}

// Member function to check out the book

void checkOut() {
if (isAvailable) {
 isAvailable = false;
std::cout << "You have checked out \"" << title << "\".\n";
} else {
std::cout << "\"" << title << "\" is currently checked out.\n";
}
}

// Member function to return the book

void returnBook() {
if (!isAvailable) {
isAvailable = true;
std::cout << "Thank you for returning \"" << title << "\".\n";
} else {
std::cout << "\"" << title << "\" was not checked out.\n";
}
}
};

int main() {
// Creating objects of Book
Book book1("The Great Gatsby", "F. Scott Fitzgerald", 1925);
Book book2("1984", "George Orwell", 1949);

// Displaying book information

book1.displayInfo();
std::cout << std::endl;
book2.displayInfo();
std::cout << std::endl;

// Checking out a book

book1.checkOut();
book1.displayInfo();
std::cout << std::endl;

// Trying to check out the same book again

book1.checkOut();
std::cout << std::endl;

// Returning the book

book1.returnBook();
book1.displayInfo();
std::cout << std::endl;

// Checking out the book again

book1.checkOut();
book1.displayInfo();

return 0;
}

Explanation

1. Data Members:
o title, author, publicationYear, and isAvailable are private data members
that store information about each book.
 2. Constructor:
o The constructor initializes the data members when a new Book object is created.

3. Member Functions:
o displayInfo(): Displays the details of the book, including its title, author, publication
year, and availability.
o checkOut(): Allows a user to check out the book. It updates the availability status.
o returnBook(): Allows a user to return the book and updates the availability status
accordingly.

4. Main Function:
o We create two Book objects.
o We display their information, check out one of the books, attempt to check it out again,
return it, and then check it out once more.

Running the Program

To run this program:

1. Save the code in a file named library_system.cpp.

2. Compile it using a C++ compiler:

bash
Copy code
g++ library_system.cpp -o library_system

3. Execute the compiled program:

bash
Copy code
./library_system

Output

The output of the program will be similar to this:

Title: The Great Gatsby

Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Publication Year: 1925
Availability: Available

Title: 1984
Author: George Orwell
Publication Year: 1949
Availability: Available

You have checked out "The Great Gatsby".

Title: The Great Gatsby
Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Publication Year: 1925
Availability: Checked Out

"The Great Gatsby" is currently checked out.

Thank you for returning "The Great Gatsby".

Title: The Great Gatsby
Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Publication Year: 1925
Availability: Available

You have checked out "The Great Gatsby".

Title: The Great Gatsby
Author: F. Scott Fitzgerald
Publication Year: 1925
Availability: Checked Out

Summary

This example demonstrates how to define a class with data members and member functions,
encapsulating the behavior of a book in a library system. This encapsulation helps maintain data
integrity and allows for organized code, showcasing the power of object-oriented programming
in C++.

4. EXPLAIN CONSTRUCTORS AND DESTRUCTORS WITH REAL TIME

EXAMPLES

In C++, constructors and destructors are special member functions that are automatically
called when an object is created or destroyed, respectively.

Constructors

A constructor is a member function that initializes objects of a class. It has the same name as
the class and does not have a return type.

Example: Simple Rectangle Class

Here’s an example that demonstrates the use of constructors:

#include <iostream>

class Rectangle {
private:
double length;
double width;
public:
// Constructor to initialize length and width
Rectangle(double l, double w) {
length = l;
width = w;
std::cout << "Rectangle created with length " << length << " and width
" << width << std::endl;
}

// Function to calculate area

double area() const {
return length * width;
}
};

int main() {
Rectangle rect1(10.0, 5.0); // Constructor is called
std::cout << "Area of rect1: " << rect1.area() << std::endl;

Rectangle rect2(3.5, 2.0); // Constructor is called

std::cout << "Area of rect2: " << rect2.area() << std::endl;

return 0;
}

Explanation of Constructors

1. Constructor Definition:
o The constructor Rectangle(double l, double w) initializes the length and
width data members when a new Rectangle object is created.
o A message is printed to indicate that a rectangle has been created.
2. Object Creation:
o When Rectangle rect1(10.0, 5.0); is executed, the constructor is called,
initializing rect1 with specified dimensions.

Destructors

A destructor is a member function that is called automatically when an object goes out of scope
or is explicitly deleted. It has the same name as the class, prefixed by a tilde ( ~), and it also does
not have a return type.

Example: Expanding the Rectangle Class

Let’s extend the previous example to include a destructor:

#include <iostream>

class Rectangle {
private:
double length;
 double width;

public:
// Constructor
Rectangle(double l, double w) {
length = l;
width = w;
std::cout << "Rectangle created with length " << length << " and width
" << width << std::endl;
}

// Destructor
~Rectangle() {
std::cout << "Rectangle with length " << length << " and width " <<
width << " is being destroyed" << std::endl;
}

// Function to calculate area

double area() const {
return length * width;
}
};

int main() {
{
Rectangle rect1(10.0, 5.0); // Constructor is called
std::cout << "Area of rect1: " << rect1.area() << std::endl;
} // Destructor is called here as rect1 goes out of scope

{
Rectangle rect2(3.5, 2.0); // Constructor is called
std::cout << "Area of rect2: " << rect2.area() << std::endl;
} // Destructor is called here as rect2 goes out of scope

return 0;
}

Explanation of Destructors

1. Destructor Definition:
o The destructor ~Rectangle() is defined to output a message when an object is
destroyed, indicating which rectangle is being destroyed.
2. Object Destruction:
o When rect1 and rect2 go out of scope at the end of their respective blocks, the
destructor is called automatically.

Running the Program

To run this program:

1. Save the code in a file named rectangle.cpp.

2. Compile it using a C++ compiler:
 bash
Copy code
g++ rectangle.cpp -o rectangle

3. Execute the compiled program:

bash
Copy code
./rectangle

Output

The output will look like this:

Rectangle created with length 10 and width 5

Area of rect1: 50
Rectangle with length 10 and width 5 is being destroyed
Rectangle created with length 3.5 and width 2
Area of rect2: 7
Rectangle with length 3.5 and width 2 is being destroyed

Summary

 Constructors are used to initialize an object's data members when it is created.

 Destructors are used to perform cleanup when an object is destroyed, such as
deallocating memory or releasing resources.

These concepts are fundamental in C++ and contribute to the effective management of resources
in object-oriented programming.

5. SCOPE RESOLUTION OPERATOR WITH REAL TIME EXAMPLE

The scope resolution operator (::) in C++ is used to define or access the scope of a variable,
function, or class. It allows you to specify which class or namespace a particular identifier
belongs to, especially when there are overlapping names.
Example: Using Scope Resolution Operator

Let’s create a real-time example involving a class with both a global variable and a member
variable that share the same name.

Example: Class Student

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

// Global variable
std::string name = "Global Student";

class Student {
private:
std::string name; // Member variable

public:
// Constructor
Student(std::string n) {
name = n;
}

// Function to display names

void displayNames() {
std::cout << "Local Name: " << name << std::endl;
std::cout << "Global Name: " << ::name << std::endl; // Using scope
resolution operator
}
};

int main() {
Student student("Local Student");
student.displayNames();

return 0;
}

Explanation

1. Global Variable:
o We define a global variable name that holds the value "Global Student".

2. Class Definition:
o Inside the Student class, we have a private member variable name.

3. Constructor:
o The constructor initializes the member variable name with the value passed as an
argument.

4. Function displayNames():
 o This function displays both the member variable (name) and the global variable
(::name).
o The :: operator is used to specify that we want to access the global name, not the
member variable.

5. Main Function:
o We create a Student object with a local name, then call the displayNames()
function to print both names.

Running the Program

To run this program:

1. Save the code in a file named scope_resolution.cpp.

2. Compile it using a C++ compiler:

bash
Copy code
g++ scope_resolution.cpp -o scope_resolution

3. Execute the compiled program:

bash
Copy code
./scope_resolution

Output

The output will be:

sql

Local Name: Local Student

Global Name: Global Student

Summary

In this example, the scope resolution operator allows us to disambiguate between the member
variable and the global variable. This is particularly useful in cases where names overlap, helping
to ensure clarity in your code. The scope resolution operator is also commonly used for:

 Accessing static members of a class.

 Defining functions outside a class.
 Accessing global variables when there are local variables with the same name.

This operator is an essential tool for managing scope in C++ programming!

6. DEFINE PASSING AND RETURNING OBJECTS WITH REAL TIME EXAMPLE

Passing and returning objects in C++ allows for efficient manipulation of complex data
structures. This is commonly used in scenarios involving classes where we want to modify or
retrieve information about an object.

Example: A Point Class

Let's create a simple example using a Point class to demonstrate passing and returning objects.

Step 1: Define the Point Class

#include <iostream>

class Point {
private:
double x, y;

public:
// Constructor
Point(double xCoord, double yCoord) : x(xCoord), y(yCoord) {}

// Member function to display coordinates

void display() const {
std::cout << "Point(" << x << ", " << y << ")\n";
}

// Function to add two Points

Point add(const Point& other) const {
return Point(x + other.x, y + other.y);
}
};

Explanation of the Point Class

1. Data Members:
o The class has two private data members, x and y, representing coordinates.

2. Constructor:
o Initializes the coordinates when a Point object is created.

3. Display Function:
 o Prints the coordinates of the point.

4. Add Function:
o Takes another Point object as a parameter (passed by reference).
o Returns a new Point object representing the sum of the two points.

Step 2: Using the Point Class in main

Now, let’s see how to use this class in a program that demonstrates passing and returning objects.

cpp
Copy code
int main() {
Point p1(2.0, 3.0); // Create a Point object
Point p2(4.0, 5.0); // Create another Point object

// Display the original points

std::cout << "Original Points:\n";
p1.display();
p2.display();

// Add points and return a new Point object

Point p3 = p1.add(p2); // Passing p2 to the add function

// Display the result

std::cout << "\nResultant Point after addition:\n";
p3.display();

return 0;
}

Explanation of main

1. Creating Points:
o We create two Point objects, p1 and p2.

2. Display Original Points:

o We call the display() method on both points to show their coordinates.

3. Adding Points:
o We call the add() method on p1, passing p2 as an argument.
o The result is a new Point object, p3, which holds the sum of the coordinates.

4. Display Result:
o Finally, we display the coordinates of p3.

Running the Program

To run this program:

 1. Save the code in a file named point_example.cpp.
2. Compile it using a C++ compiler:

bash
Copy code
g++ point_example.cpp -o point_example

3. Execute the compiled program:

bash
Copy code
./point_example

Output

The output will be:

mathematica

Original Points:
Point(2, 3)
Point(4, 5)

Resultant Point after addition:

Point(6, 8)

Summary

 Passing Objects: In this example, the add function takes a Point object as a parameter by
reference, which avoids unnecessary copying and allows for efficient manipulation of the data.
 Returning Objects: The add function returns a new Point object representing the result of the
addition, demonstrating how you can construct and return complex objects in C++.

This approach can be extended to more complex data structures and is fundamental to object-
oriented programming in C++.

MODULE - II

1. C++, ARRAYS, POINTERS, AND REFERENCES ARE FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS

THAT ENABLE EFFICIENT MEMORY MANAGEMENT AND MANIPULATION OF
DATA STRUCTURES. LET’S EXPLORE THESE CONCEPTS WITH REAL-TIME
EXAMPLES.

Arrays
An array is a collection of elements of the same type, stored in contiguous memory locations.

Example: Storing Student Grades

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
const int numStudents = 5;
int grades[numStudents] = {85, 90, 78, 92, 88};

cout << "Student Grades: ";

for (int i = 0; i < numStudents; i++) {
cout << grades[i] << " ";
}
cout << endl;

return 0;
}

Pointers

A pointer is a variable that holds the memory address of another variable. Pointers are powerful
for dynamic memory management and data structure manipulation.

Example: Dynamic Array Allocation

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int numStudents;
cout << "Enter number of students: ";
cin >> numStudents;

// Dynamically allocate an array

int* grades = new int[numStudents];

// Input grades
cout << "Enter grades: ";
for (int i = 0; i < numStudents; i++) {
cin >> grades[i];
}

// Display grades
cout << "Student Grades: ";
for (int i = 0; i < numStudents; i++) {
cout << grades[i] << " ";
}
cout << endl;

// Free allocated memory

 delete[] grades;

return 0;
}

References

A reference is an alias for another variable. Once a reference is initialized to a variable, it cannot
be changed to refer to another variable.

Example: Swapping Values

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void swap(int& a, int& b) {

int temp = a;
a = b;
b = temp;
}

int main() {
int x = 10, y = 20;
cout << "Before swapping: x = " << x << ", y = " << y << endl;

swap(x, y); // x and y are passed by reference

cout << "After swapping: x = " << x << ", y = " << y << endl;

return 0;
}

Summary

 Arrays allow you to manage collections of data.

 Pointers provide powerful ways to handle dynamic memory and facilitate complex data
structures (like linked lists).
 References simplify syntax for passing variables to functions without copying them.

These concepts are widely used in various applications, from simple programs to complex
systems like databases, game engines, and real-time simulations. Understanding how to use
arrays, pointers, and references effectively is crucial for any C++ developer.

}
cout << endl;

return 0;
}

for (int i = 0; i < numStudents; i++) {
cin >> grades[i];
}

// Display grades
cout << "Student Grades: ";
for (int i = 0; i < numStudents; i++) {
cout << grades[i] << " ";
}
cout << endl;

// Free allocated memory

delete[] grades;

return 0;
}

References

A reference is an alias for another variable. Once a reference is initialized to a variable, it cannot

cout << "Before swapping: x = " << x << ", y = " << y << endl;

swap(x, y); // x and y are passed by reference

cout << "After swapping: x = " << x << ", y = " << y << endl;

return 0;
}

Summary

 Arrays allow you to manage collections of data.

 Pointers provide powerful ways to handle dynamic memory and facilitate complex data

 References simplify syntax for passing variables to functions without copying them.
These concepts are widely used in various applications, from simple programs to complex
systems like databases, game engines, and real-time simulations. Understanding how to use
arrays, pointers, and references effectively is crucial for any C++ developer.

2. OOPS C++ ESTIMATING DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OPERATORS WITH REAL TIME EXAMPLES

In C++, dynamic memory allocation is often managed through operators like new, new[],
delete, and delete[]. Understanding how to properly use these operators is crucial for
resource management, particularly in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Below, I'll explain
dynamic allocation operators with real-time examples.

Dynamic Memory Allocation Operators

1. new and delete: Used for single object allocation and deallocation.
2. new[] and delete[]: Used for array allocation and deallocation.

Example: Dynamic Allocation in a Class

Let’s create a class representing a simple dynamic array. This class will manage its own memory
allocation and deallocation.

DynamicArray Class

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class DynamicArray {
private:
int* arr; // Pointer to the array
int size; // Size of the array

public:
// Constructor
DynamicArray(int s) : size(s) {
arr = new int[size]; // Allocate memory for the array
cout << "DynamicArray of size " << size << " created." << endl;
}

// Destructor
~DynamicArray() {
delete[] arr; // Deallocate memory
cout << "DynamicArray destroyed." << endl;
}

// Function to set values in the array

void setValue(int index, int value) {
if (index >= 0 && index < size) {
 arr[index] = value;
}
}

// Function to get values from the array

int getValue(int index) {
if (index >= 0 && index < size) {
return arr[index];
}
return -1; // Return -1 for invalid index
}
};

int main() {
DynamicArray myArray(5); // Create a DynamicArray of size 5

// Set values
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
myArray.setValue(i, i * 10);
}

// Get values
cout << "Array values: ";
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
cout << myArray.getValue(i) << " ";
}
cout << endl;

return 0;
}

Explanation

1. Constructor: Allocates memory for an integer array when an object of DynamicArray is

created.
o new int[size] allocates memory for an array of integers.
2. Destructor: Cleans up the allocated memory when the object goes out of scope or is deleted.
o delete[] arr frees the memory associated with the array.
3. Member Functions: setValue and getValue allow manipulation of the array.

Real-Time Application Example: Managing a List of Students

You can extend this concept to manage a dynamic list of students in a classroom application.
Here’s a simple implementation.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class Student {
public:
string name;
 int age;

Student(string n, int a) : name(n), age(a) {}

};

class StudentList {
private:
Student** students; // Pointer to a dynamic array of Student pointers
int size; // Current number of students
int capacity; // Maximum capacity

public:
StudentList(int cap) : size(0), capacity(cap) {
students = new Student*[capacity]; // Allocate array of Student
pointers
}

~StudentList() {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
delete students[i]; // Deallocate each Student object
}
delete[] students; // Deallocate the array of pointers
}

void addStudent(string name, int age) {

if (size < capacity) {
students[size++] = new Student(name, age); // Allocate a new
Student
} else {
cout << "Student list is full!" << endl;
}
}

void displayStudents() {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
cout << "Student " << i + 1 << ": " << students[i]->name << ",
Age: " << students[i]->age << endl;
}
}
};

int main() {
StudentList myClass(3); // Maximum of 3 students

myClass.addStudent("Alice", 20);
myClass.addStudent("Bob", 22);
myClass.addStudent("Charlie", 19);
myClass.addStudent("David", 21); // Should show a message that the list is
full

myClass.displayStudents();

return 0;
}

Key Points
  Dynamic Memory Management: Both examples illustrate how to allocate and
deallocate memory dynamically. The DynamicArray class handles its own memory,
while StudentList manages an array of Student pointers.
 Destructor Usage: Properly releasing memory in the destructor prevents memory leaks,
ensuring that all allocated memory is freed when the objects are no longer needed.
 Dynamic Structures: These examples show how to create flexible data structures that
can grow or shrink in size during runtime, which is essential in real-time applications
such as managing students or other variable data.

Using dynamic allocation effectively allows for greater flexibility and efficiency in resource
management, especially in OOP designs where object lifetimes may vary significantly.

3. IN OOPS C++ ESTIMATING DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OPERATORS WITH REAL TIME EXAMPLES

In C++, dynamic memory allocation is often managed through operators like new, new[],
delete, and delete[]. Understanding how to properly use these operators is crucial for
resource management, particularly in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Below, I'll explain
dynamic allocation operators with real-time examples.

Dynamic Memory Allocation Operators

1. new and delete: Used for single object allocation and deallocation.
2. new[] and delete[]: Used for array allocation and deallocation.

Example: Dynamic Allocation in a Class

Let’s create a class representing a simple dynamic array. This class will manage its own memory
allocation and deallocation.

DynamicArray Class

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class DynamicArray {
private:
int* arr; // Pointer to the array
int size; // Size of the array

public:
// Constructor
DynamicArray(int s) : size(s) {
arr = new int[size]; // Allocate memory for the array
cout << "DynamicArray of size " << size << " created." << endl;
}
 // Destructor
~DynamicArray() {
delete[] arr; // Deallocate memory
cout << "DynamicArray destroyed." << endl;
}

// Function to set values in the array

void setValue(int index, int value) {
if (index >= 0 && index < size) {
arr[index] = value;
}
}

// Function to get values from the array

int getValue(int index) {
if (index >= 0 && index < size) {
return arr[index];
}
return -1; // Return -1 for invalid index
}
};

int main() {
DynamicArray myArray(5); // Create a DynamicArray of size 5

// Set values
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
myArray.setValue(i, i * 10);
}

// Get values
cout << "Array values: ";
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
cout << myArray.getValue(i) << " ";
}
cout << endl;

return 0;
}

Explanation

1. Constructor: Allocates memory for an integer array when an object of DynamicArray is

created.
o new int[size] allocates memory for an array of integers.
2. Destructor: Cleans up the allocated memory when the object goes out of scope or is deleted.
o delete[] arr frees the memory associated with the array.
3. Member Functions: setValue and getValue allow manipulation of the array.
Real-Time Application Example: Managing a List of Students

You can extend this concept to manage a dynamic list of students in a classroom application.
Here’s a simple implementation.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class Student {
public:
string name;
int age;

Student(string n, int a) : name(n), age(a) {}

};

class StudentList {
private:
Student** students; // Pointer to a dynamic array of Student pointers
int size; // Current number of students
int capacity; // Maximum capacity

public:
StudentList(int cap) : size(0), capacity(cap) {
students = new Student*[capacity]; // Allocate array of Student
pointers
}

~StudentList() {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
delete students[i]; // Deallocate each Student object
}
delete[] students; // Deallocate the array of pointers
}

void addStudent(string name, int age) {

if (size < capacity) {
students[size++] = new Student(name, age); // Allocate a new
Student
} else {
cout << "Student list is full!" << endl;
}
}

void displayStudents() {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
cout << "Student " << i + 1 << ": " << students[i]->name << ",
Age: " << students[i]->age << endl;
}
}
};

int main() {
 StudentList myClass(3); // Maximum of 3 students

myClass.addStudent("Alice", 20);
myClass.addStudent("Bob", 22);
myClass.addStudent("Charlie", 19);
myClass.addStudent("David", 21); // Should show a message that the list is
full

myClass.displayStudents();

return 0;
}

Key Points

 Dynamic Memory Management: Both examples illustrate how to allocate and

deallocate memory dynamically. The DynamicArray class handles its own memory,
while StudentList manages an array of Student pointers.
 Destructor Usage: Properly releasing memory in the destructor prevents memory leaks,
ensuring that all allocated memory is freed when the objects are no longer needed.
 Dynamic Structures: These examples show how to create flexible data structures that
can grow or shrink in size during runtime, which is essential in real-time applications
such as managing students or other variable data.

Using dynamic allocation effectively allows for greater flexibility and efficiency in resource
management, especially in OOP designs where object lifetimes may vary significantly.

4.SUMMARIZING DYNAMIC ALLOCATION OPERATORS WITH REAL TIME EXAMPLES

In C++, dynamic allocation operators (new, new[], delete, and delete[]) are essential for
managing memory in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP). Here’s a summary of these
operators along with real-time examples.

Dynamic Allocation Operators

1. new: Allocates memory for a single object.

2. new[]: Allocates memory for an array of objects.
3. delete: Deallocates memory for a single object.
4. delete[]: Deallocates memory for an array of objects.

Key Concepts

 Memory Management: Dynamic memory allocation allows for the creation of data structures
whose size can change during runtime, enabling more efficient resource usage.
  Encapsulation: By managing memory within classes, you can hide implementation details from
users, providing a clean interface.

Real-Time Examples

Example 1: Dynamic Array Class

A class that manages a dynamic array of integers.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class DynamicArray {
private:
int* arr;
int size;

public:
DynamicArray(int s) : size(s) {
arr = new int[size]; // Allocate memory
}

~DynamicArray() {
delete[] arr; // Free memory
}

void setValue(int index, int value) {

if (index >= 0 && index < size) {
arr[index] = value;
}
}

int getValue(int index) {

if (index >= 0 && index < size) {
return arr[index];
}
return -1; // Error value
}
};

int main() {
DynamicArray myArray(5);
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
myArray.setValue(i, i * 10);
}

cout << "Array values: ";

for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
cout << myArray.getValue(i) << " ";
}
cout << endl;

return 0;
}
Key Points:

 Memory is allocated for the array using new.

 Memory is freed using delete[] in the destructor.

Example 2: Student Management System

A class that manages a dynamic list of students.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class Student {
public:
string name;
int age;

Student(string n, int a) : name(n), age(a) {}

};

class StudentList {
private:
Student** students;
int size;
int capacity;

public:
StudentList(int cap) : size(0), capacity(cap) {
students = new Student*[capacity]; // Allocate array of Student
pointers
}

~StudentList() {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
delete students[i]; // Free each Student object
}
delete[] students; // Free the array of pointers
}

void addStudent(string name, int age) {

if (size < capacity) {
students[size++] = new Student(name, age); // Allocate a new
Student
} else {
cout << "Student list is full!" << endl;
}
}

void displayStudents() {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
cout << "Student " << i + 1 << ": " << students[i]->name << ",
Age: " << students[i]->age << endl;
}
}
};

int main() {
StudentList myClass(3);
myClass.addStudent("Alice", 20);
myClass.addStudent("Bob", 22);
myClass.addStudent("Charlie", 19);
myClass.addStudent("David", 21); // Should indicate the list is full

myClass.displayStudents();

return 0;
}

Key Points:

 The StudentList class dynamically allocates memory for an array of student pointers.
 Each Student object is allocated memory using new, and all allocated memory is released in
the destructor.

Summary

Dynamic allocation operators in C++ enable:

 Flexible Memory Usage: Objects can be created and destroyed as needed during runtime.
 Efficient Resource Management: Proper use of new and delete prevents memory leaks.
 Encapsulation in OOP: Memory management can be encapsulated within classes, providing a
clean interface for users.

Understanding these concepts and examples equips you to create efficient, flexible, and
maintainable applications using C++.

5. ESTIMATING FUNCTION OVERLOADING WITH REAL TIME EXAMPLES

Function overloading in C++ allows you to define multiple functions with the same name but
different parameter lists (type or number of parameters). This feature is a key aspect of
polymorphism in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), enhancing code readability and
flexibility.
Key Concepts of Function Overloading

 Same Name, Different Signatures: Functions can have the same name as long as their
parameter types or counts differ.

Compile-Time Polymorphism: Overloading is resolved at compile time, allowing the compiler to

determine which function to call based on the arguments passed.

Real-Time Examples

Example 1: Area Calculation

Let’s create a class that calculates the area of different geometric shapes. We will overload the
area function to handle different shapes.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Shape {
public:
// Function to calculate area of a rectangle
double area(double length, double width) {
return length * width;
}

// Function to calculate area of a circle

double area(double radius) {
return 3.14159 * radius * radius;
}

// Function to calculate area of a triangle

double area(double base, double height, bool isTriangle) {
return 0.5 * base * height;
}
};

int main() {
Shape shape;

cout << "Area of rectangle (5.0, 3.0): " << shape.area(5.0, 3.0) << endl;
cout << "Area of circle (2.0): " << shape.area(2.0) << endl;
cout << "Area of triangle (4.0, 5.0): " << shape.area(4.0, 5.0, true) <<
endl;

return 0;
}

Explanation

 Overloaded Functions: The area function is overloaded for rectangles, circles, and triangles.
  Flexibility: The same function name is used to calculate areas for different shapes, making the
code intuitive.

Example 2: String Concatenation

Let’s create a class that demonstrates overloading with string concatenation.

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class StringUtil {
public:
// Overloaded function for concatenating two strings
string concatenate(const string& str1, const string& str2) {
return str1 + str2;
}

// Overloaded function for concatenating three strings

string concatenate(const string& str1, const string& str2, const string&
str3) {
return str1 + str2 + str3;
}

// Overloaded function for concatenating a string and an integer

string concatenate(const string& str, int num) {
return str + to_string(num);
}
};

int main() {
StringUtil util;

cout << util.concatenate("Hello, ", "World!") << endl;

cout << util.concatenate("I have ", "2 ", "cats.") << endl;
cout << util.concatenate("Number: ", 10) << endl;

return 0;
}

Explanation

 Versatile Functionality: The concatenate function can combine two strings, three strings, or a
string with an integer.
 Improved Readability: Users can easily understand that all variations serve the purpose of
concatenating strings, despite the different parameters.

Summary

Function overloading in C++ provides:

  Polymorphism: A single function name can handle different types and numbers of parameters,
allowing for cleaner and more intuitive code.
 Enhanced Readability: Code is easier to read and maintain when similar operations are grouped
under the same function name.

These examples demonstrate the practical utility of function overloading in real-world

applications, enabling developers to write flexible and user-friendly interfaces in OOP designs.

6. DEFINING COPY CONSTRUCTORS WITH REAL TIME EXAMPLES

In C++, a copy constructor is a special constructor used to create a new object as a copy of an
existing object. This is crucial in Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) for managing resources,
especially when dealing with dynamic memory allocation or complex data structures.

Key Concepts of Copy Constructors

1. Syntax: The copy constructor has the following signature:

cpp
Copy code
ClassName(const ClassName &obj);

2. Shallow vs. Deep Copy:

o Shallow Copy: Copies the object's member variables directly. This can lead to issues if
the object manages dynamic memory, as both objects would point to the same
memory.
o Deep Copy: Creates a new copy of the dynamically allocated memory, ensuring each
object has its own separate copy.

Real-Time Examples

Example 1: Simple Class with Copy Constructor

Let’s create a class that manages a dynamic array and uses a copy constructor to ensure a deep
copy.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class DynamicArray {
private:
int* arr;
int size;

public:
// Constructor
 DynamicArray(int s) : size(s) {
arr = new int[size]; // Allocate memory
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
arr[i] = i; // Initialize with values
}
}

// Copy Constructor for deep copy

DynamicArray(const DynamicArray& obj) {
size = obj.size;
arr = new int[size]; // Allocate new memory
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
arr[i] = obj.arr[i]; // Copy values
}
cout << "Copy constructor called." << endl;
}

// Destructor
~DynamicArray() {
delete[] arr; // Free memory
}

// Function to display array

void display() const {
for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
cout << arr[i] << " ";
}
cout << endl;
}
};

int main() {
DynamicArray array1(5); // Create an object
cout << "Array 1: ";
array1.display();

DynamicArray array2 = array1; // Invoke copy constructor

cout << "Array 2 (after copy): ";
array2.display();

return 0;
}

Explanation

 Copy Constructor: When array2 is initialized with array1, the copy constructor is invoked,
creating a new array and copying the values from array1 to array2.
 Deep Copy: Each object manages its own memory, so changes in one object do not affect the
other.

Example 2: Complex Class with Copy Constructor

Let’s enhance the previous example by adding more complexity, such as a class representing a
simple Student object.
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class Student {
private:
string name;
int age;

public:
// Constructor
Student(const string& n, int a) : name(n), age(a) {}

// Copy Constructor
Student(const Student& obj) : name(obj.name), age(obj.age) {
cout << "Copy constructor for Student called." << endl;
}

// Function to display student details

void display() const {
cout << "Name: " << name << ", Age: " << age << endl;
}
};

int main() {
Student student1("Alice", 20);
cout << "Student 1: ";
student1.display();

Student student2 = student1; // Invoke copy constructor

cout << "Student 2 (after copy): ";
student2.display();

return 0;
}

Explanation

 Copy Constructor: The copy constructor for Student copies the name and age from the original
object. This is straightforward since std::string handles its own memory.
 Functionality: This example demonstrates how to maintain the integrity of objects when
copying, ensuring that all relevant information is duplicated.

Summary

Copy constructors are essential in C++ for:

 Resource Management: They ensure that objects manage their own resources correctly,
preventing memory issues.
 Encapsulation: By providing a way to duplicate objects without exposing their internal
implementation details.
  Polymorphism: Supporting OOP principles where objects can be copied and passed around
safely.

Understanding and correctly implementing copy constructors is crucial for creating robust and
efficient C++ applications, especially when dealing with dynamic resources.

7. IDENTIFYING DEFAULT FUNCTION ARGUMENTS WITH REAL TIME EXAMPLE

In C++, default function arguments allow you to specify default values for parameters, which are
used if the caller does not provide those arguments. Here's a breakdown of how it works, along
with real-time examples to help illustrate the concept.

Syntax of Default Function Arguments

void functionName(parameter1 = default_value1, parameter2 = default_value2);

If the caller doesn't provide values for the parameters with default arguments, the default values
are used automatically.

Example 1: Greeting Function

Let’s take an example where we want to greet a user. The function takes two parameters: the
user's name and their greeting message. If the user does not provide a greeting message, it will
default to "Hello".

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void greetUser(string name, string greeting = "Hello") {

cout << greeting << ", " << name << "!" << endl;
}

int main() {
greetUser("Alice"); // Only name is provided, default
greeting will be used
greetUser("Bob", "Welcome"); // Both name and greeting are provided
return 0;
}

Output:

Hello, Alice!
Welcome, Bob!
In this example:

 For greetUser("Alice");, the default greeting "Hello" is used.

 For greetUser("Bob", "Welcome");, the greeting "Welcome" is provided, so it overrides
the default value.

Example 2: Summing Two Numbers with Default Arguments

Here’s another real-time example: a function that sums two numbers. If the second number is not
provided, it defaults to 10.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int sum(int a, int b = 10) {

return a + b;
}

int main() {
cout << "Sum of 5 and 10: " << sum(5) << endl; // Second argument is
default
cout << "Sum of 5 and 20: " << sum(5, 20) << endl; // Both arguments
provided
return 0;
}

Output:
mathematica

Sum of 5 and 10: 15

Sum of 5 and 20: 25

In this case:

 When sum(5) is called, the default value of b (10) is used.

 When sum(5, 20) is called, the second argument (20) is provided, so it overrides the default
value.

Rules of Default Function Arguments

1. Default arguments must be specified in the function declaration (prototype), not in the
definition.
2. Once a default value is assigned for an argument, all subsequent arguments must have default
values. You can’t have non-default arguments after default ones.

Example of incorrect usage:

void example(int a = 5, int b); // Error: b must also have a default value if
a does
In conclusion, default function arguments make your code more flexible by allowing functions to
be called with fewer arguments when default behavior is acceptable. This is particularly useful
when you want to provide optional parameters.

8. EXPLAINING FUNCTION OVERLOADING AND AMBIGUITY WITH REAL TIME EXAMPLES

In C++ Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), function overloading allows you to define

multiple functions with the same name but different parameter lists (either by number, type, or
both). This enables different behaviors based on the types or number of arguments passed.
However, ambiguity can arise if the compiler cannot determine which function to call due to
conflicting signatures.

Function Overloading

Function overloading is a type of compile-time polymorphism. The compiler distinguishes

between overloaded functions by their parameter list, but not by the return type.

Example 1: Basic Function Overloading

#include <iostream>P
using namespace std;

void print(int i) {
cout << "Printing int: " << i << endl;
}

void print(double f) {
cout << "Printing double: " << f << endl;
}

void print(string s) {
cout << "Printing string: " << s << endl;
}

int main() {
print(42); // Calls the int version
print(3.14); // Calls the double version
print("Hello"); // Calls the string version
return 0;
}

Output:

Printing int: 42
Printing double: 3.14
Printing string: Hello

Here, all three print functions share the same name but have different parameter types (int,
double, string). The correct function is called based on the type of argument passed.
Ambiguity in Function Overloading

Ambiguity occurs when the compiler cannot decide which overloaded function to call, either
because multiple functions match the arguments or none match precisely.

Example 2: Ambiguity Due to Type Promotion

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void display(int i) {
cout << "Integer: " << i << endl;
}

void display(float f) {
cout << "Float: " << f << endl;
}

int main() {
display(5.5); // Ambiguity occurs
return 0;
}

Error:
Vbnet

error: call of overloaded 'display(double)' is ambiguous

Here’s why the ambiguity occurs:

 The argument 5.5 is a double, but there’s no display(double) function.

 The compiler tries to promote 5.5 to either int or float. Both functions (display(int) and
display(float)) seem valid after type promotion, so the compiler gets confused and cannot
decide which one to call.

Fixing Ambiguity:

You can resolve this ambiguity by explicitly matching the argument type or adding an
overloaded function for double:

void display(double d) {
cout << "Double: " << d << endl;
}

Or by casting the argument:

int main() {
display(static_cast<float>(5.5)); // Calls the float version
return 0;
}

Example 3: Ambiguity with Default Arguments

Another common source of ambiguity is when default arguments are involved.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

void show(int x, int y = 0) {

cout << "Two ints: " << x << " and " << y << endl;
}

void show(double x) {
cout << "One double: " << x << endl;
}

int main() {
show(5); // Ambiguity occurs
return 0;
}

Error:
vbnet

error: call of overloaded 'show(int)' is ambiguous

In this case:

 The call show(5) matches both show(int x, int y = 0) and show(double x) because:
o The first function has a default argument, so show(5) is equivalent to show(5, 0).
o The second function could accept an integer by promoting it to a double.

Solution:

You can resolve this ambiguity by either explicitly calling the correct function or by removing
the default argument to make the parameter list unambiguous:

show(5, 0); // Now explicitly calls the two-argument version

Key Points to Avoid Ambiguity in Function Overloading

1. Avoid Type Promotions: Overloaded functions with closely related types (e.g., int,
float, double) can cause ambiguity. To avoid this, provide explicit overloaded functions
for each type or avoid overloading with types that may promote automatically.
2. Use Distinct Signatures: Ensure that the overloaded function signatures are sufficiently
distinct in terms of argument types or the number of arguments.
 3. Be Cautious with Default Parameters: Default arguments combined with overloading
can lead to confusion. Make sure the function calls remain clear when using default
parameters.

Conclusion

 Function overloading is a powerful tool in C++ that enables you to write cleaner, more intuitive
code by defining multiple versions of a function.
 Ambiguity arises when the compiler cannot unambiguously determine which function to call,
often due to type promotion or default arguments.
