    Study Notes

    Function Overloading

    • Function overloading allows multiple functions with the same name but different parameters in the same scope.
    • It is used to improve code readability and reusability.
    • Overloading can occur with different types, number of parameters, or both.

    Constructors

    • Constructors initialize an object's properties when it is created.
    • There are different types of constructors including default, parameterized, and copy constructors.
    • A default constructor does not take any arguments and initializes default values.

    Parameterized Constructors

    • Parameterized constructors enable setting specific values during object creation.
    • They require arguments to be passed for initialization when an object is instantiated.

    Constructor Overloading

    • Multiple constructors can be defined within a class, each with different parameter lists.
    • This provides flexibility in creating objects with varied initialization.

    Constructors in Array of Objects

    • Arrays can hold objects of a class, requiring constructors to initialize each element.
    • Each object in the array can be initialized individually using parameterized constructors.

    Constructors with Default Arguments

    • Constructors can utilize default arguments, providing flexibility in initialization without specifying every parameter.
    • If a parameter is missing during object creation, the default value is used.

    Dynamic Initialization

    • Dynamic initialization occurs when an object is initialized with values that are computed at runtime.
    • This technique allows for greater flexibility in setting values based on logical conditions.

    Pointer to Objects

    • A pointer to an object can be created, allowing indirect access and manipulation of the object.
    • This is useful for dynamic memory management and resource sharing.

    This Pointer

    • The this pointer is an implicit pointer available within member functions to reference the calling object.
    • It is particularly useful in constructor initialization and for differentiating between member variables and parameters.

    Dynamic Memory Allocation

    • Memory for objects can be allocated on the heap using dynamic memory allocation (e.g., with the new keyword).
    • This allows for the creation of objects whose lifetime is managed manually, enhancing resource efficiency.

    Array of Pointer to Objects

    • An array can store pointers to objects, allowing for dynamic creation and management of multiple object instances.
    • This approach is memory-efficient and useful for handling large datasets of objects.

    Copy and Move Constructor

    • Copy constructors create a new object as a copy of an existing object, handling deep or shallow copies.
    • Move constructors transfer resources from a temporary object, helping to optimize performance by avoiding unnecessary copying.

    Delegating Constructor

    • A delegating constructor calls another constructor within the same class to reuse code and simplify initialization.
    • This technique helps to reduce code duplication and streamline object setup.

    Function Overloading

    • Function overloading allows multiple functions with the same name but different parameters in the same scope.
    • It is used to improve code readability and reusability.
    • Overloading can occur with different types, number of parameters, or both.

    Constructors

    • Constructors initialize an object's properties when it is created.
    • There are different types of constructors including default, parameterized, and copy constructors.
    • A default constructor does not take any arguments and initializes default values.

    Parameterized Constructors

    • Parameterized constructors enable setting specific values during object creation.
    • They require arguments to be passed for initialization when an object is instantiated.

    Constructor Overloading

    • Multiple constructors can be defined within a class, each with different parameter lists.
