CHAPTER - 4Classes and Objects
Class
A class is a way to bind the data describing an entity and its associated functions together.
In C++ class makes a data type that is used to create objects of this type.
The Class Definition
class <class_name>
{ private : <variable declaration>;
<function declaration>;
protected : <variable declaration>;
<function declaration>;
public : <variable declaration>;
<function declaration>;
};
Class Method Definition Outside the Class Definition
return_type <class_name> :: <func_name> (parameter list)
{ : }
Eg:
class XYZ
{ private : int a;
public : void enter( );
};
void XYZ ::enter ( )
{ cin>>a; }
Inside the Class Definition
class XYZ
{ private : int a;
public : void enter( )
{ cin>>a; }
};
Referencing Class Members The members of class are referenced
using object of the class.
Eg: for above class XYZ
ob1.enter( );
Arrays within the class
class Exarray
{ int arr[10];
public :
int largest( void);
int sum(void);
};
Scope of Class and Its members
Public Members : the data members and member functions are directly accessed by any function.
Private Members : the members are not accessible outside the class but accessible only by the member functions, and not inherited
Protected Members : the members are not accessible outside the class as Private members but are inherited to derived classes
The scope rules and classes Global Class
if a class definition occurs outside any function is called global class.
its object can be declared anywhere within the program.
Local Class if a class definition occurs inside any
other function is called local classits object can not be declared anywhere in
program.
Global Vs. Local Object If an object is declared outside any function then
its called global object
While an object declared within another function then its called local class.
A global object can be declared only from global class
While a local object can be declared from a local class.
Global Vs. Local Class
class XYZ // global class
{ int a;
public :
void enter( );
}ob1; //global object
void main ( )
{ XYZ ob2; //local object
:
}
void main ( )
{
class XYZ //local class
{ int a;
public :
void enter( );
}ob1; //legal local object
}
void Func( )
{
XYZ ob2; // illegal
:
}
Types of Class Functions
Accessor Function: the function that allow user to access the data member of object but cannot change the value of data member.
Eg: class Student { int rno;
public:
Student( ) //Manager Function
{ rno=0; }
void getrno( ) //Accessor Function
{ return rno; }
void enter( ) //Mutator Function
{ cin>>rno; }
}; Mutator Function:a member function that allows to change the
data member of an object.
Manager Function : member function which initializes and destroying class objects.
Nested Classes A class declared within another class is called nested class
or an object of one class declared inside another class is called Nested Class.
Eg:
class X
{ :
class Y
{ : };
};
Eg:
Class X { ………. };
class Y { X ob1; };
Inline Function A function definition occurs inside the class definition An inline function definition should be placed above all the functions that call
it. Are best for small functions which are called often. Eg:
class X
{ int a;
public :
inline void square( int I )
{ cout<<I * I; }
};
void main( )
{ X ob1;
ob1.square(5);
:
}
Constant Member Function If a member function of a class doesnot
alter any data in the class then this member function may be declared as a constant member function using the keyword const.
Eg: int Maxi (int, int) const;
Nesting of Member Functions
When a member function is called by another member function, it is called nesting of member functions.
Memory allocation of objects Member functions are created and placed in the
memory space only once when the class is defined.
The memory space is allocated for objects’ data members only when the objects are declared.
No separate space is allocated for member functions when the objects are created.
Separate memory space is allocated to objects at the time of their declaration for their data members.
Static Class Members
Static Data Member : its like a global variable which is globally available for all the objects of that class type.
A static data member must be defined outside the class definition.
Difference between Static & General Data member:There is only one copy of this data member maintained
for the entire class.It is visible only within the class.
Static Member function: a member function that accesses only the static members of a class may be declared as static. Put static keyword before the function declaration in the class definition.
Example:
class X
{ static int count;
:
static void show( void )
{ cout<<count; }
:
};
int X :: count;
BOARD - 2011Define a class Applicant in C++ with following description:
A data member Ano (Admission no) of type longA data member Name of type StringA data member Agg (Aggregate Marks) of type floatA data member Grade of type charA member function GradeMe( ) to find the Grade as per the Aggregate
Marks obtained by a student. Equivalent Aggregate marks range and the respective Grades are shown as follows
Aggregate marks Grade
>= 80 A
Less than 80 and >=65 B
Less than 65 and >= 50 C
Less than 50 and >=33 D
Less than 33 E
Public members:A function Enter( ) to allow user to enter values for Ano, Name, Agg & call
function GradeMe( )to find the Grade.A function Result( ) to allow user to view the content of all the data
members.
class Applicant
{ long Ano;
char Name[20 ];
float Agg;
char Grade;
void GradeMe( )
{ if(Agg>=80) Grade = ‘A’;
elseif( Agg>=65 && Agg<80 ) Grade = ‘B’;
else if (Agg>=50 && Agg < 65) Grade = ‘C’;
else if (Agg >=33 & Agg <50 ) Grade = ‘D’;
else Grade = ‘E’;
}
Public : void Enter( )
{ cout<<“Enter Ano;”; cin>>Ano;
cout<<“Enter Name”; gets(Name);
cout<<“Enter Aggregate marks”; cin>>Agg;
GradeMe( );
}
void Show( )
{ cout<<Ano <<Name << Agg <<Grade; }
};
BOARD - 2010Define a class STOCK in C++ with the following description:
Private members : Icode of type integer (Item Code) Item of type string (Item Name)Price of type float (Price of each item)Qty of type integer (Quantity in stock)Discount of type float (Discount % on the item)A member function FindDisc( ) to calculate discount as per the
following rule:
if Qty < = 50 Discount is 0
if 50 < Qty <=100 Discount is 5
if Qty>100 Discount is 10
Public Members:A function Buy( ) to allow user to enter values for ICode, Item, Price,
Qty and call function FindDisc( ) to calculate the Discount.A function ShowAll( ) to allow user to view the content of all the data
members.
class STOCK
{ private : int Icode;
char Item[20];
flaot Price;
int Qty;
float Discount;
void FindDisc( )
{ if(Qty <=50) Discount = 0;
else if(Qty >50 && Qty<=100)
Discount = 5;
else Discount = 10;
}
public : void Buy( )
{ cout<<“Enter Icode”; cin>>Icode;
cout<<“Enter Item’; gets(Item);
cout<<“Enter Price”; cin>>Price;
cout<<“Enter Qty”; cin>>Qty;
FindDisc( );
}
void ShowAll( )
{ cout<<ICode << Item <<Price << Qty << Discount; }
};

char Name[20];
float Tariff;
int NOD;
float CALC( )
{ if(NOD * Tariff > 10000 )
return 1.05*NOD*Tariff;
