 Introduction to C++
C++ is an Object Oriented Language.
It was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at
AT&T’s Bell Laboratories.
Earlier it was called ‘C with Classes’ but
later the name was changed to ‘C++’.
C++ is a superset of C, so that most C
programs are also C++ programs.

 Header Files in C++
A header file in C/C++ contains:
Function definitions
Data type definitions
Macros
Header files offer these features by
importing them into your program
with the help of a preprocessor
directive called #include.
These preprocessor directives are
 4 responsible for instructing the C/C+
 …contd
Basically, header files are of 2
types:
 Standard library header files
 These are the pre-existing header files
already available in the C/C++ compiler.

 User-defined header files:

 Header files can be designed by the user by
saving the file name as .h extension.

There are a total of 49 header files in

 5 the Standard C++ Library
 Header files in C/C++
#include<stdio.h>
Standard input-output header
Used to perform input and output operations in
C like scanf() and printf().
#include<string.h>
String header
Perform string manipulation operations like
strlen and strcpy.
#include<conio.h>
Console input-output header
Perform console input and console output
operations like clrscr() to clear the screen and
getch() to get the character from the keyboard.
 6
 Header files in C/C++
 #include<stdlib.h>
 Standard library header
 Perform standard utility functions like dynamic memory
allocation, using functions such as malloc() and calloc().
 #include<math.h>
 Math header
 Perform mathematical operations like sqrt() and pow().
 To obtain the square root and the power of a number
respectively.
 #include<ctype.h>
 Character type header
 Perform character type functions like isaplha() and isdigit().
 To find whether the given character is an alphabet or a digit
respectively.
 #include<time.h>
 Time header
 Perform functions related to date and time like setdate() and
getdate().
 7  To modify the system date and get the CPU time respectively.
 Header files in C/C++
#include<assert.h>
 Assertion header
 It is used in program assertion functions like assert().
 To get an integer data type in C/C++ as a parameter
which prints stderr only if the parameter passed is 0.
#include<locale.h>
Localization header
Perform localization functions like setlocale() and
localeconv().
To set locale and get locale conventions respectively.
#include<signal.h>

raise().
To install signal handler and to raise the signal in the
 8 program respectively
 Header files in C/C++
 #include<setjmp.h>
Jump header
Perform jump functions.
 #include<stdarg.h>
Standard argument header
Perform standard argument functions like va_start and
va_arg().
To indicate start of the variable-length argument list
and to fetch the arguments from the variable-length
argument list in the program respectively.
 #include<errno.h>
Error handling header
Used to perform error handling operations like errno().
To indicate errors in the program by initially assigning
the value of this function to 0 and then later changing
 9 it to indicate errors.
 Header Files in C++
Following are some C++ header
files which are not supported in C-
#inlcude<iostream>
Input Output Stream
Used as a stream of Input and Output.
#include<iomanip.h>
Input-Output Manipulation
Used to access set() and setprecision().
#include<fstream.h>
File stream
Used to control the data to read from a

 C++ Character Set
A C++ program is a collection of number of
instructions written in a meaningful order.
Further, instructions are made up of
keywords, variables, functions, objects etc.
All these uses C++ character set as shown
below:

 1
2
 Tokens in C++
Smallest individual unit in a program is
called Token.
C++ defined 6 types of tokens

 1

 C++ Keywords
 Each keyword has a predefined purpose in the
language.
 Keywords cannot be used as variable and constant
names.
 There are 63 keywords in C++ as follows:

 1
4
 C++ identifiers
An identifier is a name for a variable, constant,
function, etc.
It consists of a letter followed by any sequence of
letters, digits, and underscores.
Rules for writing identifiers:
 First letter must be an alphabet or underscore.
 From second character onwards, any combination of
digits, alphabets or underscores are allowed.
 No other symbol except digits, alphabets or underscores
is allowed.
 Keywords cannot be used as identifiers.
 Maximum length of identifier depends upon the compiler
used.
Examples:

 1
5
 Variables
It is a named location in memory that is
used to hold a value that can be modified
in the program by the instruction.
All the variables must be declared before
they can be used.
General form:
datatype variable_name [list];
Unlike C, C++ allows to declare variable
anywhere in the program before its use.

 C++ comments
 Comments are explanatory notes which are
ignored by the compiler.
 There are two ways to include comments in a
program:

// A double slash marks the start of

a //single line comment.

/* A slash followed by an asterisk marks

the start of a multiple line comment. It
ends with an asterisk followed by a
slash. */

 1
8
 Programming Style
C++ is a free-format language, which
means that:
Extra blanks (spaces) or tabs before or after
identifiers/operators are ignored.
Blank lines are ignored by the compiler just
like comments.
Code can be indented in any way.
There can be more than one statement on a
single line.
A single statement can continue over
several lines.

 Structure & Union
 Structure and Union both are a collection of
heterogeneous data elements.
struct book
{
char title[25];
char author[25];
int pages;
float price;
} book1, book2,book3;

 Enumerated data type
 User defined data type which provide a way of attaching
names to numbers.
 enum automatically enumerates a list of words by assigning
them values 0,1,2,….

enum shape{circle, square, triangle};

enum color{red, blue, green, yellow};
enum position{on, off};

 We can use these as typenames also like:

shape ellipse;
color background;
 The integers values assigned to enumerators can also be
over-ride. For example:
3
enum color{red,blue=4,green=8};
2 enum color{red=5,blue,green};

 Reference variables
Reference variable provides as alias name for a
previously defined variable.
Syntax:
Data-type & reference-name = variable-name
eg.
float total=100;
float & sum = total;
• sum is the alternative name declared to represent
total.
• Any modification or assignment applied to either
variable will effect both.
• Reference variable must be initialized at the time of
declaration.

 Memory Management
Operators
New
To allocate memory dynamically.
Delete
To deallocate memory as and when required.
An object created using new will remain in
existence until it is explicitly destroyed by
delete.

 3

 Using NEW operator
 General form of using new operator:
Pointer-variable = new data-type;
 Eg.
P = new int; //p is a pointer of type int
Q = new float; //q is a pointer of type float
 Here, p and q must be already declared.

 Alternatively,
int *p = new int;
float *q = new float;
*p = 25;
*q = 7.5;
 Assigns 25 to newly created int object and 7.5 to float object.

OR
 Pointer-variable = new data-type(value);
 int *P = new int(25);
 4  float *q = new float(7.5);

 Features of Object
Oriented Programming in
C++
 Procedure Oriented
Programming
​Conventional programming such as
FORTRAN, COBOL, C use procedure oriented
programming.
The number of functions are written to
accomplish various tasks.
Employs top down approach.​
Large programs are divided in small
programs known as functions.​
Most functions share global data & data
moves freely from one function to another.​

 OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING
The object oriented approach is used to remove
the flaws encountered in procedure oriented
approach.​
OOP treats data as a critical element & doesn’t
allow it to flow freely around the system.​
 It ties data more closely to the functions that
operate on it.​
OOP allows decomposition of a problem into a
number of entities known as objects and then
builds data and functions around these objects.​
 The data of an object can be accessed only by
the functions associated with that object,
however, functions of one object can access the
 4

functions of other objects. ​
 Features of OOP
Emphasis is on data rather than procedure.​
Programs are decomposed into various entities
known as objects. ​
Functions that operate on data of an object are
tied together.​
Data is hidden and cannot be accessed by
external functions.​
Objects may communicate with each other
through functions.​
New data and functions may be added easily
as per necessity.​
Follows bottom up approach in program

 OBJECTS
Objects are the basic run time entities in
an object oriented system.
They may represent a person, a place, a
bank account or any other item that the
program has to handle.
An object takes space in memory and
have an associated address like a
structure in C.
During execution, objects interacts by
sending messages to each other.
Each object contains data and the code

 Classes are user defined data types and

behaves like built-in types.

 Any number of objects can be created after

defining a class.

 ENCAPSULATION
The wrapping up of data and functions
into a single unit is called
Encapsulation.

Data is not accessible to the outside

world.

Only the functions that are wrapped in

the class can access it.

 OPERATOR OVERLOADING
Process of making an operator to exhibit
different behavior in different instances
is called Operator Overloading.

E.g. Consider the addition operation:

 Scope Resolution Operator
 The operator :: is called scope resolution operator.
 It is used for two purposes.
 For accessing global variables
 Identifying class members to which class they belong

 The scope of a variable extends from the point of its

declaration till the end of the block containing the
declaration.
 The variable is local to that block.
 If a global variable also exists with same name as
the local variable, then local variable will be called
by default within that block.
 Scope resolution operator helps to access the global
variable inside the block.

 Functions in C++
 A function is a block of code that performs a specific
task.
 There are two types of functions:
 Standard library functions (Predefined in C++)
 User-defined function ( Created by users)

 Basic Syntax:

 return-type: suggests what function will return

 function-name: name of the function
 Parameters: variables to hold values of arguments
passed while function is called. A function may or may not
contain parameters.
 Function body: part where the code statements are

Declaring, Defining and Calling
a function
A function declaration tells the compiler about a
function's name, return type, and parameters.
 Syntax:

 A function definition provides the actual body of the

function.
 Syntax:

 To use a function, we have to call or invoke that

function.
 When a program calls a function, program control is
transferred to the called function.
 A called function performs defined task and when it’s
return statement is executed or when its function-ending
 7 closing brace is reached, it returns program control back
4 to the calling program.
 7

 Inline Functions
When a function is called it performs a
series of instructions:
Jumping to the function
Saving registers
Pushing arguments into stack
Returning to calling function
This might be an overhead if function is
small.
Inline functions can to be used as a
solution for this.

 7
6
 Inline Functions
 It is a function that is expanded in line when it is invoked.
 The compiler replaces the function call with corresponding function
code.
 Syntax:

inline function-header
{
function body
}
 Eg.
inline double cube(double a)
{
return (a*a*a);
}
 It can by invoked by the statement like:
c=cube(3.0);

 7

 All inline functions must be defined before
they are called.

There are certain situations where inline

expansion may not work:
For function returning values, if a loop,
switch or goto exists.
For function not returning values, if a
return statement exists.
If function contain static variables.
If inline functions are recursive.
 7

 Default Arguments
C++ allows to call a function without
specifying all its arguments.
The function assigns a default value to the
parameter which does not have a matching
argument in the function call.
Default values are specified when the
function is declared.

 Classes
A class is a way to bind the data and its
associated functions together.
General form of class declaration:
class class_name
{ private:
variable declarations;
function declarations;
public:
variable declarations;
function declarations;
 8

};
 Visibility Labels
Private
Can be accessed from within the class.
Use of keyword is optional.
Class members are by default private.
Public
Can be accessed from outside the class also.

If both labels are missing, by default, all the

members of the class are private.

 Memory allocation for objects
Memory space to members of class is
allocated as:
Member functions
 When they are defined as a part of class
specification.
 All the objects of that class use the same member
functions.
Data members
 When the objects of the class are created.
 Separate space is allocated to each data member
for each object.

 Static Data Members
A static data member has following
characteristics:
Initialized to zero when first object of the
class is created.
Cannot be initialized in any other way.
Only one copy of the static member is
created and shared by all objects of the class.
Its lifetime is the entire program.
