Study Notes
Abstract Data Types (ADT)
- An abstract data type is defined by a specific set of operations and values.
- It encapsulates data and the functions that operate on that data while hiding the implementation details.
Objects and Classes in C++
- A class serves as a blueprint for creating objects, similar to a house's architectural drawing.
- It contains specifications like properties (attributes) and methods (functions).
C++ Class
- Classes do not allocate memory until an object is created. They define structure and behavior.
- Example of a class structure includes attributes such as length, breadth, and height.
C++ Objects
- Objects are instances of classes that allow access to class functionalities.
- When creating an object, the properties defined in the class can be assigned values and used.
Example: Room Class in C++
- A simple class named
Room
defines attributes for length, breadth, and height. - The class contains methods to calculate the area (
calculate_area()
) and volume (calculate_volume()
). - In the
main()
function, an objectroom1
is instantiated, and its attributes are set.
Key Methods in Room Class
calculate_area()
returns the product of length and breadth.calculate_volume()
calculates the room's volume by multiplying length, breadth, and height.
Importance of C++ Classes and Objects
- Enables object-oriented programming by encapsulating data and functions.
- Promotes reuse of code and modularity through class design.
- Enhances data abstraction, allowing users to interact with complex data types easily.
