Member Function Definition

-

 

Member functions:

Member functions are the functions that are included within the class.

Member functions can be defined in two places:

·       Inside the class declaration

·       Outside the class declaration

Inside the class declaration:

class date

{

            private:

                        int day, month, year;

            public:

                        void getdata()

                        {

                                    cin>>day>>month>>year;

                        }

                        void putdata()

                        {

                                    cout<<day<<month<<year;

                        }

};

 

In this example to member functions getdata() and putdata() are defined inside the class declaration.

 

Outside the class declaration:

Syntax:

return_type class_name::member_function_name(arguments)

{

            // member function code

}

Ex:

class date

{

            private:

                        int day, month, year;

            public:

                        void getdata();

                        void putdata();

};

void date::getdata()

{

            cin>>day>>month>>year;

}

void date::putdata()

{

            cout<<day<<month<<year;

}

:: this operator is called scope resolution operator.

This operator is used to define member function outside the class.

This operator links the class name with the member function.

Default Constructors

-
  Default constructor: A constructor which does not accept any arguments is called default constructor. It is also known as zero argument constructors. Default constructors cannot be overloaded. All objects of a class are initialized to same set of values by the default constructor. Syntax: class classname {             private:                         ---------             pubic:                         classname( )                         {            ...

Basic Concepts of OOPs

-
  Objects: An object is a real world element with some characteristics and behavior. An object is instance of class. Classes: A class is a blueprint or prototype from which objects are created. A class is description of a group of objects with similar attributes and behavior. Abstraction: The process of representing essential features without including the background details. An abstract class defines an interface, but does not provide implementation details. Encapsulation: The process of combining data and function into a single unit. Encapsulation keeps both data and functions safe from outside interface. Inheritance: The capacity of a class to inherit the properties of other class.   A class that inherits the properties from other class is called derived or sub class. A class that inherits its properties to sub class is called base class or super class. Polymorphism: It is ability for a function or data to be processed in more than one form...
