Passing Object As Argument in C++

In C++, objects can be passed to functions similarly to variables and structures. There are two main ways to pass objects to functions: passing by value, where the function receives a copy of the object, and passing by reference, where the function receives a reference to the original object. Examples are provided of passing objects to functions to add complex numbers and perform arithmetic operations on rational number objects. Returning objects from functions works similarly to returning structures, by defining a return type of the class.

Passing and Returning Object from Function in C++ Programming

In C++ programming, objects can be passed to function in similar way as variables


and structures.
Procedure to Pass Object to Function

Example to Pass Object to Function


C++ program to add two complex numbers by passing objects to function.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Complex
{
private:
int real;
int imag;
public:
Complex(): real(0), imag(0) { }
void Read()
{
cout<<"Enter real and imaginary number respectively:"<<endl;
cin>>real>>imag;
}
void Add(Complex comp1,Complex comp2)
{
real=comp1.real+comp2.real;
/* Here, real represents the real data of object c3 because this function is called
using code c3.add(c1,c2); */
imag=comp1.imag+comp2.imag;
/* Here, imag represents the imag data of object c3 because this function is called
using code c3.add(c1,c2); */
}
void Display()
{
cout<<"Sum="<<real<<"+"<<imag<<"i";

}
};
int main()
{
Complex c1,c2,c3;
c1.Read();
c2.Read();
c3.Add(c1,c2);
c3.Display();
return 0;
}
Output
Enter real and imaginary number respectively:
12
3
Enter real and imaginary number respectively:
2
6
Sum=14+9i
Returning Object from Function
The syntax and procedure to return object is similar to that of returning structure
from function.

Example to Return Object from Function


This program is the modification of above program displays exactly same
output as above. But, in this program, object is return from function to
perform this task.
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Complex

{
private:
int real;
int imag;
public:
Complex(): real(0), imag(0) { }
void Read()
{
cout<<"Enter real and imaginary number respectively:"<<endl;
cin>>real>>imag;
}
Complex Add(Complex comp2)
{
Complex temp;
temp.real=real+comp2.real;
/* Here, real represents the real data of object c1 because this function is called using
code c1.Add(c2) */
temp.imag=imag+comp2.imag;
/* Here, imag represents the imag data of object c1 because this function is called
using code c1.Add(c2) */
return temp;
}
void Display()
{
cout<<"Sum="<<real<<"+"<<imag<<"i";
}
};
int main()
{
Complex c1,c2,c3;
c1.Read();
c2.Read();
c3=c1.Add(c2);
c3.Display();
return 0;
}
-----------------------------Passing Objects as Function arguments in C++
Passing Objects as Function arguments
Our next program adds some establishment to the classes.It also demonstrates some
new aspects of classes :constructor overloading,and more importent passing objects
as function arguments.Here some examples that will clear your idea about this topic
Here some examples of passing objects as function arguments , very simple ,very
easy
Here examples of multiplication and divide are discussed ,you can use any arithmetic
operator solve programmes

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class rational

Example # 1

{
private:
int num;
int dnum;
public:
rational():num(1),dnum(1)
{}
void get ()
{
cout<<"enter numerator";
cin>>num;
cout<<"enter denomenator";
cin>>dnum;
}
void print ()
{
cout<<num<<"/"<<dnum<<endl;
}
void multi(rational r1,rational r2)
{
num=r1.num*r2.num;
dnum=r1.dnum*r2.dnum;
}
};
void main ()
{
rational r1,r2,r3;
r1.get();
r2.get();
r3.multi(r1,r2);
r3.print();
}

Examples # 2
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class rational
{
private:
int num;
int dnum;
public:
rational():num(1),dnum(1)
{}
void get ()
{
cout<<"enter numerator";
cin>>num;
cout<<"enter denomenator";
cin>>dnum;
}

void print ()
{
cout<<num<<"/"<<dnum<<endl;
}
void divide(rational r1,rational r2)
{
num=r1.num*r2.dnum;
dnum=r1.dnum*r2.num;
}
};
void main ()
{
rational r1,r2,r3;
r1.get();
r2.get();
r3.divide(r1,r2);
r3.print();
}
