Object Oriented Programming (OOP) is a programming
model where programs are organized around objects and data rather than action
and logic. OOP allows decomposition of a problem into a number of entities
called objects and then builds data and functions around these objects.
Advantage of Object
Oriented Programming
There are various advantage of using OOP over the procedural or parallel programming. Following are some of the basic advantages of using oop techniques.
1. Re-Usability of your code: If you will use OOP technique for creating your application then it will gives you a greater re-usability. For example, if you have created calculator class at one place then you can use the same calculator class in your application.
2. Easy to Maintain : Application develop using oop technique are easier to maintain than normal programming. Again let us take an example of your interest calculator class. Suppose your business need to change the calculation logic. They want to add some charges if your capital is less than 200 USD. Just think about your application is big and developed using normal programming techniques. So first you have to analyse that at how many places we have calculated interest, and then you will change. But just think of oop technique. You just need to change in your method of interest calculation at one place.
3. Good Level of Abstraction: Abstraction means making something hidden. By using oop technique you are abstracting your business logic from implementation. It will provide you greater ease. Again let us take and example of interest calculator. If you have created class for interest calculation and your team is going to use that class. Now you are only concern about how interest calculation will be performed, because you have created that. Your team member is always have understanding that if they will set rate and capital property and apply interest calculation method then it will return interest.
4. Molecularity: If we are creating separate class for your every problem then you are making it modular. So if someone need to change in the business logic part then he will always go to your business logic code part.
Class:- A class is the core of any modern Object Oriented Programming language such as C++. A class will not occupy any memory space and hence it is only a logical representation of data. Class is a collection of data members and member functions. Data members hold the data and member functions perform the operations on the data members. To create a class, you simply use the keyword "class" followed by the class name:
Class syntax:-
Class < class-name >
{
accessspecifier:
data members;
accessspecifier:
memberfunctions;
};
Access specifiers (or ) Visibility modes:-
Access specifiers are used to access the data members and member functions.
There are 3 types of access specifiers
1. private:- private means within the class.
2. protected:- Protected means within the class and outside the sub classes.
3. Public:- Public means any where it is accessible.
Object:-
Oject is a runtime entity. And it is a physical representation for the class. Object is having properties. Properties are nothing but data members and member functions.
How to create a object:-
Syntax:-
class-name object;
How to access the properties:-
object.datamembers;
object.memberfunctions;

this Pointer
Every object in C++ has access to its own address through an important pointer called this pointer. The this pointer is an implicit parameter to all member functions. Therefore, inside a member function, this may be used to refer to the invoking object.
Friend functions do not have a this pointer, because friends are not members of a class. Only member functions have a this pointer.

Encapsulation
Binding the data members and member functions into
a single unit is known as Encapsulation.
Ex:- Every class with data members and member functions is a encapsulated class.
Constructor
Ex:- Every class with data members and member functions is a encapsulated class.
Constructor
Rules of Constructors 1. C++ constructors are the
special member function of the class which are used to initialize the objects
of that class
2. The constructor of class is automatically called
immediately after the creation of the object.
3. Name of the constructor should be exactly same
as that of name of the class.
4. Constructor should be same name as the class and
declared in the public section of the class.
5. C++ constructor is called only once in a
lifetime of object when object is created.
6. C++ constructors can be overloaded.
7. C++ constructors does not return any value so
constructor have no return type.
8. C++ constructor does not return even void as
return type.
9. Constructor can not be virtual.
10. Constructor can not be inherited, but from the
derived class we can call the base class constructors.
11. It is not possible to refers to the address of
constructors.
12. It is not possible to use the constructor as member
of union if the object is created with constructor.
C++ Constructor Types
1. Default Constructor
2. Parametrized Constructor
3. Copy Constructor
Default Constructor 1. If the programmer does not specify
the constructor in the program then compiler provides the default constructor.
2. In C++ we can overload the default compiler
generated constructor
3. In both cases (user created default constructor
or default constructor generated by compiler), the default constructor is
always parameterless.

Parameterized Constructor : class name and function name is same
and it receives arguments/parameters, is called parameterized constructor.
//Write a program read employee information and
print employee information.

#include<conio.h>
class paramet
{

Copy Constructor:-
A constructor that initializes an object using values of another object passed
to it as parameter, is called copy constructor. It creates the copy of the
passed object. There can be multiple constructors of the same class, provided
they have different signatures.

Destructor
A destructor is a special member function of a
class that is executed whenever an object of it's class goes out of scope or
whenever the delete expression is applied to a pointer to the object of that
class.
A destructor will have exact same name as the class
prefixed with a tilde (~). Destructor can be very useful for releasing
resources before coming out of the program like closing files, releasing
memories etc.
//destructor example
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class destruct
{
public:
destruct()
{
cout<<"This is Default
Constructor";
}
~destruct()
{
cout<<endl<<"This is
Destructor";
}
};
void main()
{
clrscr();
destruct d;
getch();
}
Inheritance
Deriving a new class from existing class is known
as Inheritance.
(or)
Inheriting the base class features into derived
class is known as Inheritance.
(or)
Extend the definition of a class without making any
physical changes to the existing class is inheritance.
Any new class that you create from an existing
class is called derived class; existing class is called base class.
Private
Private members of the base class are inaccessible
to the derived class.
Protected members of the base class become private
members of the derived class.
Public members of the base class become private
members of the derived class.
Protected
Private members of the base class are inaccessible
to the derived class.
Protected members of the base class become
protected members of the derived class.
Public members of the base class become protected
members of the derived class.
Public
Private members of the base class are inaccessible
to the derived class.
Protected members of the base class become
protected members of the derived class.
Public members of the base class become public
members of the derived class.
Types of Inheritance
There are 6 types of inheritance.
Single Inheritance: It is the inheritance hierarchy wherein
one derived class inherits from one base class.
//Single Inheritance
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class A
{
public:
void showA()
{
cout<<”This is Base Class
Method”<<endl;
}
};
Class B:public A
{
public:
void showB()
{
cout<<”This is Derived Class
Method”<<endl;
}
};
void main()
{
clrscr();
B b;
b.showA();
b.showB();
getch();
}
//Inheritance with Default Constructor
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class A
{
protected:
A()
{
cout<<”This is Base Class
Constructor”<<endl;
}
};
class B
{
public:
B()
{
A::A();
Cout<<”This is Derived Class constructor”;
}
};
void main()
{
clrscr();
B b;
getch();
}
//Inheritance with Parametrized Constructor
(or)
// How to call a base class parametrized
constructor in derived class
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class A
{
protected:
int r;
protected:
A(int a)
{
r=a/2;
}
};
Class B:private A
{
public:
B(int t):A(t)
{
((r*2)==t)?cout<<t<<” is
Even”:cout<<t<<”is Odd.”<<endl;
}
};
void main()
{
clrscr();
int a;
cout<<”Enter a number”;
cin>>a;
B b(a);
getch();
}
Multi Level InheritanceBase
class is inheriting features into derived class. Derived Class is inheriting
features into sub derived class is nothing but Multilevel Inheritance.
//Multilevel Inheritance employee details reading
and printing and calculating salary with bonus example
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class A
{
protected:
int eno;
char ename[10];
float sal;
};
class B:protected A
{
protected:
void read()
{
cout<<”Enter Emp no”;
cin>>eno;
cout<<”Enter Emp Name”;
cin>>ename;
cout<<”Enter Emp Salary”;
cin>>sal;
}
};
class C:protected B
{
public:
void print()
{
B::read();
cout<<”EMPLOYEE INFORMATION”<<endl;
cout<<”EMP NO = “<<eno<<endl;
cout<<”EMP NAME = “<<ename;
cout<<”EMP SALARY = “<<sal
}
};
class D:protected C
{
public:
void show()
{
C::print();
If(sal>10000)
bo=1000;
else
bo=500
cout<<”With Bonus Salary = “<<sal+bo;
}
};
void main()
{
clrscr();
D d;
d.show();
getch();
}
Hierarchial Inheritance It is the inheritance hierarchy wherein
multiple subclasses inherit from one base class.
//hierarchial inheritance with reading and printing
a number, calculating the square and cube of a number
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class Base
{
protected:
int a;
public:
void read()
{
cout<<”Enter a number”;
cin>>a;
}
};
class Derived1:public Base
{
public:
void print()
{
cout<<endl<<”The number is “<<n;
}
};
class Derived2:protected Base
{
public:
void show()
{
read();
cout<<”The square of the number is
“<<n*n;
}
};
class Derived3:private Base
{
public:
void calprint()
{
base::read();
cout<<”Cube of a number is “<<n*n*n;
}
};
void main()
{
Derived1 d1;
d1.read();
d1.print();
Derived2 d2;
d2.show();
Derived3 d3;
d3.calprint();
}
Multiple Inheritance It is the inheritance hierarchy wherein
one derived class inherits from multiple base class(es)
//findout the biggest number among the given
numbers with using multiple inheritance
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class Base1
{
protected:
int n1;
};
class Base2
{
protected:
int n2;
};
class Derived:Base1,Base2
{
public:
void read()
{
cout<<”Enter two numbers”;
cin>>n1>>n2;
}
void calprint()
{
if(n1>n2)
cout<<n1<<” is Big”;
else
cout<<n2<<” is Big”;
}
};
void main()
{
clrscr();
Derived d;
d.read();
d.calprint();
}
Hybrid InheritanceSingle
and Multilevel inheritance combination is nothing but hybrid inheritance.
Multipath InheritanceHierarchial
and Multiple inheritance combination is nothing but Multipath Inheritance.
Virtual Base Class
Multipath inheritance may lead to duplication of
inherited members from a grandparent base class (A). This may be avoided by
making the common base class (A) a virtual base class. When a class is made a
virtual base class(A) to B,C. C++ takes necessary care to see that only one copy
of that class is inherited to D.
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class A
{
protected:
int n1;
};
class B:virtual public A
{
protected:
int n2;
};
class C:virtual public A
{
protected:
int n3;
};
class D:public B,public C
{
public:
void read()
{
cout<<"Enter three numbers";
cin>>n1>>n2>>n3;
}
void bigprint()
{
((n1>n2)&&(n1>n3))?cout<<n1<<"
is Big":(n2>n3) ?cout<<n2<<" is
Big":cout<<n3<<" is Big";
}
};
void main()
{
clrscr();
D d;
d.read();
d.bigprint();
getch();
}
Polymorphism
Polymorphism means ability to make more than form.
(or) A message can be processed in different ways.
There are 2 types of polymorphism.
1. Compile Time polymorphism
2. Run Time polymorphism
There are 2 types of polymorphism.
1. Compile Time polymorphism
2. Run Time polymorphism
Compile time polymorphism:- At the time of compiling a program it
binds the data. Ex:- Operator Overloading,Function Overloading
//Unary operator overloading
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class sam
{
int a,b,c;
public:
sam()
{
a=10;
b=20;
c=30;
}
sam(int a,int b,int z)
{
this->a=a;
this->b=b;
c=z;
}
operator ++()
{
++a;
++b;
c++;
}
void print()
{
cout<<"The a value is "<<a<<endl;
cout<<"The b value is "<<b<<endl;
cout<<"The c value is "<<c<<endl;
}
};
void main()
{
clrscr();
sam s;
s.print();
++s;
s.print();
sam s1(99,88,77);
s1.print();
s1++;
s1.print();
getch();
}
//Binary operator overloading
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class sam
{
int a,b,c;
public:
sam()
{
a=10;
b=20;
c=30;
}
sam(int a,int b,int z)
{
this->a=a;
this->b=b;
c=z;
}
sam operator/(sam s)
{
sam t;
t.a=t.a/s.a;
t.b=t.b/s.b;
t.c=t.c/s.c;
return t;
}
void print()
{
cout<<"A value is "<<a<<endl<<"B value is "<<b<<endl<<"C value is "<<c;
}
};
void main()
{
clrscr();
sam o;
o.print();
sam o1(1,2,3);
o1.print();
sam o2;
o2=o/o1;
o2.print();
getch();
}
Runtime Polymorphism:- At runtime it binds the data.
Ex:- Virtual functions.
Overriding Base Class Functions
A derived class can override a member function of its base class by defining a derived class member function with the same name and parameter list. It is often useful for a derived class to define its own version of a member function inherited from its base class. This may be done to specialize the member function to the needs of the derived class. When this happens, the base class member function is said to be overridden by the derived class.
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class A
{
public:
void print()
{
cout<<"This is Base Class print()";
}
};
class B:public A
{
public:
void print()
{
cout<<endl<<"This is Derived Class print()";
}
};
void main()
{
clrscr();
B b;
b.print();
getch();
}
Gaining Access to an Overridden Function
It is occasionally useful to be able to call the overridden version. This is done by using the scope resolution operator to specify the class of the overridden member function being accessed.
//How to execute both base and derived class methods.
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class A
{
public:
void print()
{
cout<<"This is Base Class print()";
}
};
class B:public A
{
public:
void print()
{
A::print();
cout<<endl<<"This is Derived Class print()";
}
};
void main()
{
clrscr();
B b;
b.print();
getch();
}
Runtime Polymorphism:-
In C++, a pointer variable of a base class type can point to an object of its derived class. There are situations when this feature of C++ can be used to develop generic code for a variety of applications. In general, a pointer to a base class that actually points to a derived class object must first be appropriately cast before the additional features of the derived class can be used. Virtual functions are used in C++ to support polymorphic behavior.
Pointer of base class
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
class A
{
public:
virtual void print()
{
cout<<"This is Base Class print()";
}
};
class B:public A
{
public:
void print()
{
cout<<endl<<"This is Derived Class print()";
}
};
void main()
{
clrscr();
A *a,o;
a=&o;
a->print(); //same as (*a).print();
B b;
a=&b;
(*a).print();
getch();
}
A member of a class that can be redefined in its derived classes is known as a virtual member. In order to declare a member of a class as virtual, we must precede its declaration with the keyword virtual. The member function print() has been declared as virtual in the base class because it is later redefined in each derived class. The advantage of having virtual function is that we are able to access print() function of derived class by pointer variable of base class.
Data Abstraction:- Abstraction is nothing but hiding. Hiding concept is lined up with inheritance and virtual functions.
Pure Virtual Function and Abstract Class
In above example, base class abstr member function display() do not need any implementation because it is overriding in derived class. If this is the case, the C++ language permits the programmer to declare the function a pure virtual function. The C++ way of declaring a pure virtual function is to put the expression = 0 in the class declaration. For example, if a member function double display() is being declared pure virtual, then its declaration in its class looks like
virtual double display() = 0;
A pure virtual function is sometimes called an abstract function, and a class with at least one pure virtual function is called an abstract class. The C++ compiler will not allow you to instantiate an abstract class. Abstract classes can only be subclassed: that is, you can only use them as base classes from which to derive other classes.
A class derived from an abstract class inherits all functions in the base class, and will itself be an abstract class unless it overrides all the abstract functions it inherits. The usefulness of abstract classes lies in the fact that they define an interface that will then have to be supported by objects of all classes derived from it.
#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>

{

int n;

t.a=t.a/s.a;
t.b=t.b/s.b;
t.c=t.c/s.c;
return t;
}
void print()
{
cout<<"A value is "<<a<<endl<<"B value is "<<b<<endl<<"C value is "<<c;
}
};
