C++: 2. OOPs Concepts

;

OOP stands for Object-Oriented Programming.  As the name suggests uses objects in programming. Object means a real word entity such as pen, chair, table etc. Object-Oriented Programming is a methodology or paradigm to design a program using classes and objects. It simplifies the software development and maintenance. 
Object-oriented programming aims to implement real-world entities like inheritance, hiding, polymorphism, etc in programming.

Class
It is a user-defined data type, which holds its own data members and member functions, which can be accessed and used by creating an instance of that class.

Object
Any entity that has state and behavior is known as an object. For example: chair, pen, table, keyboard, bike etc. It can be physical and logical.

Object-oriented programming has several advantages

  1. OOP is faster and easier to execute
  2. OOP provides a clear structure for the programs
  3. OOP helps to keep the C++ code DRY "Don't Repeat Yourself", and makes the code easier to maintain, modify and debug
  4. OOP makes it possible to create full reusable applications with less code and shorter development time
C++ Class Example: Store and Display Employee Information

#include <iostream>  
class Employee {  
   public:  
       int id;//data member (also instance variable)      
       string name;//data member(also instance variable)  
       float salary;  
       void insert(int i, string n, float s)    
        {    
            id = i;    
            name = n;    
            salary = s;  
        }    
       void display()    
        {    
            cout<<id<<"  "<<name<<"  "<<salary<<endl;    
        }    
};  

int main() {  
    Employee e1; //creating an object of Employee   
    e1.insert(201, "Sonoo",990000);     
    e1.display();     
    return 0;  
}  
Output:- 
201  Sonoo  990000

C++: 7. Inheritance

In C++, inheritance is a process in which one object acquires all the properties and behaviors of its parent object automatically. In such way, you can reuse, extend or modify the attributes and behaviors which are defined in other class. In C++, the class which inherits the members of another class is called derived class and the class whose members are inherited is called base class. The derived class is the specialized class for the base class. Single Level Inheritance When one class inherits another class, it is known as single level inheritance. Example:-  #include <iostream>   using namespace std;    class Account {      public:      float salary = 60000;     };      class Programmer: public Account {      public:      float bonus = 5000;        };        int main(void) {   ...

C: 10. Array

 An array is defined as the collection of similar type of data items stored at contiguous memory locations. For example, if we want to store the marks of a student in 6 subjects, then we don't need to define different variables for the marks in the different subject. Instead of that, we can define an array which can store the marks in each subject at the contiguous memory locations. An array index starts with 0. Syntax:- data_type array_name[array_size];   int marks[5];     Example:- #include<stdio.h>   int main(){       int i=0;     int marks[5];//declaration of array        marks[0]=80;//initialization of array     marks[1]=60;     marks[2]=70;     marks[3]=85;     marks[4]=75;     //traversal of array     for(i=0;i<5;i++){       printf("%d \n",marks[i]);   ...
