Classes and Objects

Class: A class in C++ is the building block, that leads to Object-Oriented


programming.
It is a user-defined data type, which holds its own data members and member
functions, which can be accessed and used by creating an instance of that class.
A C++ class is like a blueprint for an object.
Example: Consider the Class of Cars. There may be many cars with different
names and brand but all of them will share some common properties like all of
them will have 4 wheels, Speed Limit, Mileage range etc. So here, Car is the class
and wheels, speed limits, mileage are their properties.
Classes and Objects

Object is an instance of a Class.


When a class is defined, no memory is allocated but when it is instantiated (i.e. an
object is created) memory is allocated.
Example: Honda, Toyota, BMW(Bayerische Motoren Werke) etc.
Defining Class and Declaring Objects

A class is defined in C++ using keyword class followed by the name of class. The
body of class is defined inside the curly brackets and terminated by a semicolon at
the end.
Defining Class and Declaring Objects

Declaring Objects: When a class is defined, only the specification for the object
is defined; no memory or storage is allocated.
To use the data and access functions defined in the class, you need to create
objects.
 Syntax: ClassName ObjectName
Accessing Data Members and Member Functions

The data members and member functions of class can be accessed using the
dot(‘.’) operator with the object.
For example if the name of object is obj and you want to access the member
function with the name printName() then you will have to write obj.printName() .
Accessing a data member depends solely on the access control of that data
member.
There are 3 types of access modifiers available in C++: Public, Private,
Protected

Member Functions in Classes

There are 2 ways to define a member function:


Inside class definition, Outside class definition
To define a member function outside the class definition we have to use the scope
resolution :: operator along with class name and function name.
Member Functions in inside Class
Member Functions in outside Class
