02 Separate Header and CPP

This document discusses object-oriented programming concepts like abstraction and separation of interface and implementation through the use of header and source code files. It provides an example of defining an Employee class with attributes like age and name. The class is defined in an Employee.h header file with function prototypes. The function implementations are in an Employee.cpp source file. A main.cpp file includes the header to use the Employee class and demonstrates creating Employee objects with different constructors.

Object Oriented Paradigm

Separate header and cpp


Shafiq Ahmed
Separate Methods and their implementation

 We also separate methods and their implementation to achieve abstraction.


 For this purpose we separate function prototypes in a file called header file.
 And separate their implementation in a file called .cpp file.
3 Files
 Header file (.h file) of class
 It will contain the class structure i.e. attributes and prototypes of functions

 Source file (.cpp file) of class


 It will contain the class functions implementation.
 We include class header file on top of this file to connect class header and source file
 We use scope resolution operator (::) to connect class name class functions.
 Source file(.cpp) of main
 You can have an other file which can contain your main function (which is entry point of code)
 We include class header file on top of this file to connect class header and source file
Header file of Employee Class
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

class Employee
{
int age;
char * name;

public:

Employee(); // default const


Employee(int a, char * n); // parm const
Employee(const Employee & obj); // copy const

void set_age(int x);


void set_name(char * n);

int get_age();
char * get_name();

void display();

//override dest
~Employee();
Source file of Employee class
#include "Employee.h"

Employee::Employee()
{
name = nullptr;
}
Employee::Employee(int a, char * n) Employee::~Employee()
{ {
set_age(a); if (name != nullptr)
set_name(n);
{ delete[] name;
}
}
void Employee::set_age(int x) }
{
if (x > 0)
age = x;
else
{
cout << "You enter wrong age \n";
}
}
void Employee::set_name(char * n)
{
if (n != nullptr)
{
int s = strlen(n);

name = new char[s];

for (int i = 0; i < s; i++)


{
name[i] = n[i];

}
}
To understand this look copy
}

int Employee::get_age()
const slides
{
return age;
}
char * Employee::get_name()
{
return name;
}

void Employee::display()
{
cout << "Your employee information is: ";
cout << age << " " << name << endl;
}

Employee::Employee(const Employee & obj)


{
set_age(obj.age);
set_name(obj.name);
}
Source file of main
#include "Employee.h"

int main()
{
Employee e1; // default

Employee e2(12, "sdad"); // parm

if (e2.get_age() > 25)


{
cout << "You are adult " << endl;
}
