In this tutorial, we will be discussing a program to understand if the C++ compiler creates a default constructor when we write our own.
Generally, the C++ compiler uses the default constructor when no one is defined, but always uses the one defined by the user if any.
Example
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class myInteger{
private:
int value;
//other functions in class
};
int main(){
myInteger I1;
getchar();
return 0;
}Output
Compiles successfully
Example
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
class myInteger{
private:
int value;
public:
myInteger(int v) //user-defined constructor
{ value = v; }
//other functions in class
};
int main(){
myInteger I1;
getchar();
return 0;
}Output
Gives error about user-defined constructor not being defined
