Study Notes
Overview of C++ Language
- C++ is an object-oriented programming (OOP) language where everything revolves around classes and objects.
- Objects have attributes (data members) and methods (functions).
Classes and Objects
- A class serves as a user-defined data type; it acts as a blueprint to create objects.
- Example of creating a class:
- Use the
classkeyword. - Define public access for members.
- Attributes can be defined (e.g.,
int myNum,string myString).
- Use the
Access Specifiers
- Access specifiers define the visibility of class members.
- The public specifier allows access to class members from outside the class.
Creating an Object
- An object is instantiated using the class as a template.
- Use the class name followed by the object name to create an object.
- Accessing attributes is done via the dot syntax (e.g.,
myObj.myNum).
Member Functions
- Functions defined within a class are called member functions.
- Member functions can access class attributes directly.
Constructors
- A constructor initializes object attributes upon creation.
- Types of constructors include:
- Default Constructor: No parameters.
- Parameterized Constructor: Accepts arguments to initialize attributes.
- Copy Constructor: Initializes a new object as a copy of an existing object.
Destructor
- A destructor is invoked when an object goes out of scope.
- It cleans up resources or performs necessary final actions.
Function Overloading
- Function overloading allows multiple functions with the same name but different parameters within a class.
Inline Functions
- Inline functions are expanded in line at compile time to reduce the overhead of function calls.
this Pointer
- The
thispointer refers to the current object within a member function.
Friend Functions and Friend Classes
- A friend function or class can access private and protected members of another class.
Example Program Structure
- Begin with
#includedirectives for libraries. - Define a class with attributes and methods.
- Create and manipulate an object in the
mainfunction.
Code Example Summary
- Creating an object of
MyClassand accessing attributes shows practical application of the principles. - Example of setting values and printing attributes demonstrates object manipulation in C++.
