C++ is an object-oriented programming language that was created as an extension of C programming language. It was created by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 at Bell Labs. Some key features of C++ include support for object-oriented programming concepts like inheritance, polymorphism, and encapsulation. C++ also supports functions, arrays, pointers, and file handling. It is commonly used for system software, drivers, servers, and applications like video games.
2. HISTORYOF C++
C++ is a multi-paradigm programming language that
supports object oriented programming (OOP) created
by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1983 at Bell labs, C++ is an
extension of C programming and the programs written
in Clanguage can run in C++ compiler.
The development of C++ actually began four years
before its release, in 1979. It did not start with the
name C++. Its first name was Cwith classes.
3. In the late part of 1983, C with classes was first used for
AT&T’s internal programming needs. Its name was
changed to C++ later in the same year.
It is of course also used in a wide range of other
application domains, notable graphics programming. C++
supports inheritance through class derivation. Dynamic
binding is provided by Virtual class function.
4. DIFFERENCEBETWEENCANDC++
C C++
C is Procedural Language. C++ is non-Procedural i.e. Object
oriented Language.
Top down approach is used in
Program
Design.
Bottom up approach adopted in
Program
Design.
Multiple Declaration of global variables
are
allowed.
Multiple Declaration of global variables
are
not allowed.
C requires all the variables to be
defined at the starting of a scope.
C++ allows the declaration of
variable anywhere inthe scopei.e. at
timeof its Firstuse.
InC,malloc() andcalloc () Functions are
used for Memory Allocation and
free () function for memory
Deallocating.
In C++, new and delete operators
are used for Memory Allocating
and Deallocating.
5. USESOF C++ LANGUAGE
C++ is used by programmers to develop computer
software
It is used to create general systemsoftware
Used tobuild drivers for various computer devices
Software for servers and software for specific
applications
Used in the creation of video games.
6. ADVANTAGEOF C++
C++ is relatively-lowlevel and is asystems programming
language.
It has a large community.
It has a relatively clear and mature standard.
Modularity’
Reusability andreadability
7. DISADVANTAGEOF C++
× Data is global or local.
× It emphasis on instructions bur not on data.
× It canbe generally heavy if not careful.
× Data is global and global datadoes not have security.
8. STANDARDLIBRARIES
The C++ Standard Library can be categories into two
parts:
The standard function library: This library consists of
general-purpose, stand-alone function that are not part of
any class. The function library is inherited fromC.
The object oriented class library: This is a collection of
classes and associated function.
Standard C++ library incorporates all the standard C
libraries also, with small additions and changes to support
type safety.
11. C++ DATATYPES
Primary data type int, float, char, void
User defined data
type
structure, union, class, enumeration
Derived data type array, function, pointer, reference
12. C++ VARIABLESSCOPE
A scope is a region of the program and broadly
speaking there are three places, where variables can
be declared −
Inside a function or a block which is called local
variables,
In the definition of function parameters which is called
formal parameters.
Outside of all functions which is called global
variables.
13. LOCALVARIABLES
#include <iostream.h>
int main ()
{
int a, b;
int c;
a=10;
b=20;
c =a +b;
cout <<c;
return0;
}
Output = ?
Output = 30
// Local variable declaration
// actual initialization
14. GLOBALVARIABLES
#include<iostream.h>
// Global variable declaration:
Int g;
int main()
{
// Local variable declaration:
int a, b;
// actual initialization
a =10;
b =20;
g = a + b;
cout << g;
return0;
}
Output = ?
Output = 30
17. #include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a,b; a=10;b=13;
if(a<b)
{ cout<<“a is less than b”; }
if(a>b)
{ cout<<”a is greater than b”; }
if(a<=b)
{ cout<<”ais less than or equal
to b”; }
if(a>=b)
{ cout<<“ais greater than or
equal to b”; }
if(a==b)
{ cout<<”a is equal to b”; }
if(a!=b)
{ cout<<”ais not equal tob”);
}
}
RELATIONALOPERATORS
20. Assume if A=60; and B=13; nowin binary format they will
be as follows:
A=0011 1100 ---->Binary Number for 60
B=0000 1101 ---->Binary Number for 13
-----------------
A&B = 0000 1100
A|B = 0011 1101
A^B = 0011 0001
~A = 1100 0011
23. FUNCTIONS
Function is a set of statements to perform some task.
Every C++ programhas at least one function, which is
main(), and all the most trivial programs can define
additional functions.
Syntax of Function
return-type function-name (parameters)
{
// function-body
}
25. CALLINGAFUNCTION
Functions are called by their names. If the function is
without argument, it can be called directly using its
name. But for functions with arguments, we have two
ways tocall them,
Call by V
alue
Call by Reference
26. CALLBYVALUE
#include<iostream.h>
voidswap(int x, int y); // functiondeclaration
int main()
{
int a =100;
int b=200;
cout << "Before swap, value of a :" <<a << endl;
cout << "Before swap, value of b :" <<b << endl;
swap(a,b); // calling afunction to swapthe values.
cout << "After swap, value of a :" <<a << endl;
cout <<"After swap, value of b :" <<b<< endl;
return 0; }
// local variable declaration:
OUTPUT
:
Beforeswap,valueofa:100
Beforeswap,valueofb:200
Afterswap,valueofa:200
Afterswap,valueofb:100
27. CALLBYREFERENCE
#include <iostream.h>
void swap(int &x, int &y); // function declaration
int main ()
{
int a = 100;
int b =200;
cout <<"Before swap, value of a :" <<a << endl;
cout << "Before swap, value of b :" << b << endl;
swap(a, b); // calling a functionto swapthe values using variable reference.*/
cout << "After swap, value of a :" << a << endl;
cout << "After swap, value of b :" << b << endl;
return 0;
}
// local variable declaration:
OUTPUT
:
Beforeswap,valueofa:100
Beforeswap,valueofb:200
Afterswap,valueofa:200
Afterswap,valueofb:100
28. ARRAYS
Array is defined as a set of homogeneous data items. An Array
is a group of elements that share a common name that are
differentiated from one another by their positions within the
array.
It is a data structure which allows a collective name to be given
to agroup of elements which all have the sametype.
Syntax
datatype arrayname[array size];
The Array which is declared as above is called single-dimension
array
29. Example: float salary[10];
float
salary
[10]
data type
array name
array size(integer)
Thesize of anarray mustbeaninteger constant and
the data type can be any valid C++ data type.
30. ARRAYINITIALIZATION
In C++elements of an array can be initialized one by one or
using asingle statement
float balance[5]={1000.0, 2.0, 3.4,7.0, 50};
The number of values between braces { } cannot be larger than
the number of elements that we declare for the array between
square brackets [ ].
31. C++ARRAYINDETAIL
CONCEPT DESCRIPTION
Multi-dimensional arrays C++supportsmultidimensionalarrays.Thesimplest
form of the multidimensional array is the
two- dimensional array.
Pointer to an array Youcangenerateapointertothefirstelementofan
arraybysimplyspecifyingthearrayname,withoutany
index.
Passing arrays to
functions
You can pass to the function a pointer to an
array by specifying the array's name
without an index.
Return array from
functions
C++ allows a function to return an array.
32. POINTERS
Pointer is a user defined data type which creates special types
of variables which can hold the address of primitive data type
like char, int, float, double or user defined data type like
function, pointer etc. or derived data type like array, structure,
union, enum.
WhatAre Pointers?
A pointer is a variable whose value is the address of another
variable. Like any variable or constant, you must declare a
pointer before you can work with it.
Syntax
datatype *var-name;
34. USINGPOINTERSINC++
Therearefewimportantoperations,whichwewill dowith the
pointers very frequently.
(a) wedefinea pointer variables
(b) assign the address of a variable to a pointer and
(c) finally access the value at the address available in the
pointer variable.
This is done by using unary operator * that returns the value of
the variable located at the address specified by its operand.
35. C++ POINTERSINDETAIL
CONCEPT DESCRIPTION
C++ Null Pointers C++supportsnullpointer,whichisaconstantwitha value
of zero defined in several standard libraries.
C++ pointer arithmetic There are four arithmetic operators that can
be used on pointers: ++, --, +, -
C++ pointers vs. arrays Thereis acloserelationship between pointers andarrays.
Let us check how?
C++ array of pointers You can define arrays to hold a number of
pointers.
C++ pointer to pointer C++ allows you to have pointer on a pointer and so
on.
Passing pointers to functions Passing an argument by reference or by
address both enable the passed argument to
be changed in the calling function by the called
function.
Return pointer from functions C++ allows a function to return a pointer to local
36. C++ STRINGS
The following declaration and initialization create a string
consisting of the word "Hello". To hold the null character at the
end of the array, the size of the character array containing the
string is one more than the number of characters in the word
"Hello.“
Method1: char greeting[6] ={'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '0'};
Method2: char greeting[] ="Hello";
39. Functions Purpose
strcpy(s1, s2); Copies string s2 into string s1.
strcat(s1, s2); Concatenatesstrings2ontotheendofstring s1.
strlen(s1); Returns the length of string s1.
strcmp(s1, s2); Returns0if s1ands2arethesame;lessthan0if s1<s2;
greater than 0 if s1>s2.
strchr(s1, ch); Returnsapointertothefirstoccurrenceofcharacterchinstring
s1.
strstr(s1, s2); Returnsapointertothefirstoccurrenceofstrings2in string s1.
40. #include<iostream>
#include<cstring>
int main() {
char str1[10] ="Hello";
char str2[10] ="World";
char str3[10];
int len;
strcpy( str3, str1); // copystr1intostr3
cout <<"strcpy( str3, str1) : " <<str3<< endl;
strcat( str1, str2); // concatenatesstr1 andstr2
cout <<"strcat( str1, str2): " <<str1<< endl;
len =strlen(str1); // total length of str1 after concatenation
cout <<"strlen(str1) : " <<len << endl;
return0;
}
41. FILEHANDLINGINC++
File Handling concept in C++ language is used for store a data
permanently in computer. Using file handling we can store our
data in Secondary memory (Hard disk).
Whyuse FileHandling
For permanent storage.
The transfer of input - data or output - data fromone
computer to another can be easily done by using files.
42. Forreadandwritefromafile youneedanotherstandardC++
library called fstream, which defines three new data types:
Datatype Description
ofstream This is used to create a file
and write data on files
ifstream This is used to read data from
files
fstream This is used to both read and
write data from/to files
43. HOWTOACHIEVEFILEHANDLING
For achieving file handling in C++we need follow following steps
Naming a file
Opening a file
Reading data fromfile
Writing data into file
Closing a file
44. FUNCTIONSUSEINFILEHANDLING
Function Operation
open() To create a file
close() To close an existing file
get() Read a single character from a file
put() write a single character in file.
read() Read data from file
write() Write data into file.
