The document discusses different types of constructors in C++ including default, parameterized, copy, and dynamic constructors. It explains that a constructor is a special member function that is called automatically when an object is created to initialize the object's data members. Constructors have the same name as the class and can take arguments to initialize objects with different initial values. The document provides examples of different constructor types.
The document discusses constructors and destructors in C++. It describes constructor functions as special member functions that initialize object values when an object is created. It covers default constructors, parameterized constructors, copy constructors, and constructor overloading. Destructors are described as special functions that destroy objects and perform cleanup when objects go out of scope. The key characteristics and uses of constructors and destructors are summarized with examples.
Operator overloading allows user-defined types in C++ to behave similarly to built-in types when operators are used on them. It allows operators to have special meanings depending on the context. Some key points made in the document include:
- Operator overloading enhances the extensibility of C++ by allowing user-defined types to work with operators like addition, subtraction, etc.
- Common operators that can be overloaded include arithmetic operators, increment/decrement, input/output, function call, and subscript operators.
- To overload an operator, a member or friend function is declared with the same name as the operator being overloaded. This function performs the desired operation on the class type.

1. Inheritance is a mechanism where a new class is derived from an existing class, known as the base or parent class. The derived class inherits properties and methods from the parent class.
2. There are 5 types of inheritance: single, multilevel, multiple, hierarchical, and hybrid. Multiple inheritance allows a class to inherit from more than one parent class.
3. Overriding allows a subclass to replace or extend a method defined in the parent class, while still calling the parent method using the super() function or parent class name. This allows the subclass to provide a specific implementation of a method.
Operator overloading allows operators like + and - to have different implementations depending on the types of their operands. It allows user-defined types to be manipulated using the same syntax as built-in types. The document discusses various aspects of operator overloading like overloading unary, binary, and stream insertion/extraction operators. It also covers type conversions between basic and user-defined types using constructors and conversion functions. Restrictions on which operators can be overloaded and how different conversion scenarios are handled are explained.
This document discusses inheritance in object-oriented programming. It defines inheritance as allowing code reuse through classes inheriting traits from parent classes. The document covers different types of inheritance like single, multi-level, multiple and hierarchical inheritance. It also discusses inheritance in various programming languages like C++, Java, Python and ADA. The advantages of inheritance are code reuse and extending parent classes without modifying them, while disadvantages include subclasses being brittle and inheritance relationships not changing at runtime.
This document discusses the core concepts of object-oriented programming (OOP) in Java, including inheritance, encapsulation, abstraction, and polymorphism. It provides examples of each concept: inheritance allows classes to inherit properties from parent classes; encapsulation involves hiding data and code together within classes; abstraction deals with hiding details and focusing on essentials through abstract classes and interfaces; polymorphism allows classes to take different forms. The document uses examples like vehicles and medical capsules to illustrate how each OOP concept works in Java code.
Functions allow programmers to structure C++ programs into modular segments of code to perform individual tasks. There are two types of functions: library functions and user-defined functions. User-defined functions are defined using a return type, function name, and parameters. Functions can be called by value or by reference and can also be inline, recursive, or friend functions.

Functions allow programmers to structure C++ programs into modular segments of code to perform individual tasks. There are two types of functions: library functions and user-defined functions. User-defined functions are defined using a return type, function name, and parameters. Functions can be called by value or by reference and can also be inline, recursive, or friend functions.
This document discusses classes and objects in C++. It defines a class as a user-defined data type that implements an abstract object by combining data members and member functions. Data members are called data fields and member functions are called methods. An abstract data type separates logical properties from implementation details and supports data abstraction, encapsulation, and hiding. Common examples of abstract data types include Boolean, integer, array, stack, queue, and tree structures. The document goes on to describe class definitions, access specifiers, static members, and how to define and access class members and methods.
Classes and objects allow bundling of related data and functions. An object is an instance of a class that contains the class's data members and can access its member functions. Classes improve on procedural programming by avoiding issues when data structures change. A class defines the data types and functions for a user-defined type using a class name, data members, and member functions. Objects are instances of classes that hold separate copies of class data. Access specifiers like public, private, and protected control access to class members.
Constructor and Destructor in C++ are special member functions that are automatically called by the compiler.
Constructors initialize a newly created object and are called when the object is created. Destructors destroy objects and release memory and are called when the object goes out of scope. There are different types of constructors like default, parameterized, and copy constructors that allow initializing objects in different ways. Destructors do not have arguments or return values and are declared with a tilde symbol preceding the class name.
Classes extend the built-in capabilities of C++ able you in representing and solving complex, real-world problems. A class is an organization of data and functions which operate on them. Data structures are called data members and the functions are called member functions, the combination of data members and member functions constitute a data
object or simply an object.
Class is a group of data member and member functions. Another word class is a collection of objects of similar type.
To create a class, use the class keyword followed by a name for the object. Like any other declared variable, the class declaration ends with a semi-colon. The name of a class follows the rules we have applied for variable and function names.
Inheritance allows a derived class to inherit properties from a base or parent class. A derived class inherits attributes and behaviors of the base class and can add its own attributes and behaviors. There are different types of inheritance including single, multilevel, multiple, hierarchical, and hybrid inheritance. Inheritance promotes code reuse and reduces development time.
Constructors, Destructors, call in parameterized Constructor, Multiple constructor in a class, Explicit/implicit call, Copy constructor, Dynamic Constructors and call in parameterized Constructor
Virtual functions allow derived classes to override base class functions. A virtual function is declared with the virtual keyword in the base class and redefined in derived classes. When called via a base class pointer, the correct overridden function in the derived class will be called based on the actual object type. Pure virtual functions are declared with =0 and force derived classes to provide an implementation. Virtual functions enable runtime polymorphism in C++.
This document discusses aggregate functions in SQL. It defines aggregate functions as functions that summarize expression results over multiple rows into a single value. Commonly used aggregate functions include SUM, COUNT, AVG, MIN, and MAX. Examples are provided calculating sums, averages, minimums, and maximums of salaries in an employee table to illustrate the use of these functions. It also discusses issues like ignoring null values and the need to use the GROUP BY clause with aggregate functions.
1) A constructor in Java is a special method that is used to initialize objects and is called when an object is created. It can set initial values for object attributes.
2) There are different types of constructors including default, parameterized, and copy constructors. The default constructor takes no parameters, parameterized constructors take parameters to initialize objects with different values, and copy constructors are used to create a copy of an object.
3) Constructor overloading allows a class to have multiple constructors with the same name but different parameters, allowing objects to be initialized in different ways.
Classes allow users to bundle data and functions together. A class defines data members and member functions. Data members store data within each object, while member functions implement behaviors. Classes support access specifiers like public and private to control access to members. Objects are instances of classes that allocate memory for data members. Member functions can access object data members and are called on objects using dot notation. Friend functions allow non-member functions to access private members of classes.
Functions allow programmers to break programs into smaller, reusable parts. There are two types of functions in C: library functions and user-defined functions. User-defined functions make programs easier to understand, debug, test and maintain. Functions are declared with a return type and can accept arguments. Functions can call other functions, allowing for modular and structured program design.
A friend function in C++ can access the private and protected members of a class. It is declared inside the class using the friend keyword. A friend function is not a member of the class and is defined outside the class like a normal function. It can access private and protected members of its friend class but cannot access members directly. A friend class can also access private and protected members of another class where it is declared as a friend.
The document discusses classes and objects in object-oriented programming. It defines a class as a blueprint for objects that bind data and functions together. A class defines data members and member functions. Objects are instances of a class that can access class data and functions. The document provides examples of defining a class called "test" with private and public members, and creating objects of the class to demonstrate accessing members.
The document discusses String handling in Java. It describes how Strings are implemented as objects in Java rather than character arrays. It also summarizes various methods available in the String and StringBuffer classes for string concatenation, character extraction, comparison, modification, and value conversion. These methods allow extracting characters, comparing strings, modifying strings, and converting between string and other data types.
The document discusses applications of stacks, including reversing strings and lists, Polish notation for mathematical expressions, converting between infix, prefix and postfix notations, evaluating postfix and prefix expressions, recursion, and the Tower of Hanoi problem. Recursion involves defining a function in terms of itself, with a stopping condition. Stacks can be used to remove recursion by saving local variables at each step.
This document discusses inheritance in C++. It defines inheritance as a mechanism that allows classes to acquire properties from other classes. The class that inherits properties is called the derived or child class, while the class being inherited from is called the base or parent class. The key advantages of inheritance are that it saves memory, time, and development efforts by promoting code reuse. The document provides examples of single inheritance with one parent and one child class, and multiple inheritance with a class inheriting from multiple parent classes.
Nested classes allow one class to be defined within another, enabling inner classes to access members of the outer class. There are several types of nested classes: inner classes that can be member, anonymous, or local; and static nested classes. Member inner classes can access outer class members and be invoked from within or outside the outer class. Anonymous inner classes have no name and are created from an abstract class or interface. Local inner classes exist only within a method. Static nested classes can access static members of the outer class but not instance members.
Inheritance allows new classes called derived classes to be created from existing classes called base classes. Derived classes inherit all features of the base class and can add new features. There are different types of inheritance including single, multilevel, multiple, hierarchical, and hybrid. A derived class can access public and protected members of the base class but not private members. Constructors and destructors of the base class are executed before and after those of the derived class respectively.
This document summarizes constructors in Java. Constructors are methods that have the same name as the class and are executed during object creation. Constructors do not have a return type. Constructors are categorized as having no parameters, parameters, or being a default constructor added by the compiler. Constructors without parameters are called with the new keyword, while parameterized constructors pass arguments to the constructor. Default constructors are added by the compiler if no other constructor is defined.
This document discusses constructors and destructors in C++. It defines constructors as special member functions that initialize object values.

This document discusses constructors and destructors in C++. It explains that constructors are special functions called when an object is created that have the same name as the class, cannot return a value, and are used to initialize objects. Destructors are also special functions with the same name as the class but with a ~ sign that cannot return a value and are called when an object is destroyed to cleanup resources. The document aims to help readers understand when and how constructors and destructors are used.
The document discusses the origins and features of the C++ programming language. It began as an expanded version of C created by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979. Key features discussed include input/output using cout and cin operators, manipulators like endl and setw for formatting output, reference variables which provide an alias for another variable, and the different data types in C++ including built-in types like int and char, and derived types like arrays, functions, pointers, references, structures, unions, classes, and enumerations.
The document discusses object-oriented programming concepts like objects, classes, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. It provides examples of how real-world entities like a dog, car etc. can be modeled as objects in code with their state represented by variables and behavior by methods. A class defines the common properties of objects and acts as a blueprint from which individual objects are created. Encapsulation binds data and methods operating on that data within an object. Polymorphism allows the same message to be interpreted differently by different objects through operator and function overloading.

Static factory methods have several advantages over constructors for creating object instances, such as returning immutable objects or objects of subclasses. They allow returning an object of any subtype, have named methods instead of anonymous constructors, and can reduce verbosity for parameterized types. Some examples include Boolean.valueOf() and factory methods in the RandomGenerators class.
The document discusses various types of constructors in C++ including default, parameterized, and copy constructors. It provides examples of how to define each type of constructor and use them to initialize object attributes. It also covers overloaded constructors, constructors with default arguments, and destructors. The key differences between constructors and destructors are that constructors initialize objects while destructors destroy objects, and constructors can take arguments while destructors do not.
The document compares the constructor and builder patterns for creating objects. Constructors provide concise code when all data is available at construction time, while builders allow building objects when all data is not available upfront but require more verbose code and memory usage. Builders let data be set one by one as it becomes available, such as from asynchronous calls, while constructors require all data at once. Both have tradeoffs between speed/code length and flexibility in object creation.
1. Constructors are special member functions used to initialize objects. They are called whenever an object is created and have the same name as the class.
2. Constructors can be default, parameterized, overloaded, or have default arguments. The default constructor takes no arguments.
3. A destructor is a special function that is called when an object is destroyed. It performs cleanup tasks like closing files. It has the same name as the class but preceded by a tilde (~).
- Constructors are special member functions used to initialize objects when they are created. They are automatically called upon object creation and have the same name as the class. Constructors can be default, parameterized, or copy constructors.
- Destructors are also special member functions that perform cleanup actions when an object is destroyed, such as freeing memory. They are called automatically upon object destruction and have the same name as the class preceded by a tilde.
- Examples demonstrate default, parameterized, and copy constructors as well as destructors being defined and called for a class to properly initialize and cleanup objects.
This document discusses constructors and destructors in C++. It defines a constructor as a special member function with the same name as the class that is used to initialize objects. Constructors are called automatically when objects are created and allow objects to be initialized before use. Constructors cannot be inherited or static and default and copy constructors are generated by the compiler. The document also discusses declaration, default arguments, copy constructors, and the order of constructor invocation.
Constructor is a special member method which will be called automatically when you create an object of any class.
The main purpose of using constructor is to initialize an object.
http://www.tutorial4us.com/java/java-constructor
Constructor is a special method in Java that is used to initialize objects. It has the same name as the class and is invoked automatically when an object is created. Constructors can be used to set default values for objects. A class can have multiple constructors as long as they have different parameters. Constructors are used to provide different initial values to objects and cannot return values.

This document discusses constructors and destructors in C++. It defines constructors as special member functions that initialize object values. Constructors are automatically called when an object is created and can be parameterized to initialize objects with different values. A class can contain multiple constructors. Destructors are used to destroy objects and free allocated memory. They are called automatically when an object goes out of scope.
The document discusses various features of functions in C++ including call by reference, return by reference, inline functions, default arguments, const arguments, and function overloading. It explains how C++ enhances functions compared to traditional C by allowing arguments to be passed by reference, returning references from functions, and adding new keywords like inline, default, and const. Various examples are provided to illustrate each of these function features.
Constructors and destructors are special types of member functions in C++ used to initialize and cleanup objects. Constructors are called automatically when an object is created and are used to initialize the object's member variables. Destructors are called when an object is destroyed in order to perform cleanup tasks. The document discusses different types of constructors like default, parameterized, and copy constructors. It also explains how to define and call constructors and destructors and provides examples to demonstrate their usage.
- Constructors are special member functions that are used to initialize objects of a class. They are automatically called when an object is created.
- There are different types of constructors including default, parameterized, and copy constructors. Default constructors take no parameters while parameterized constructors allow passing initial values.
- Constructors can be explicitly or implicitly called. Implicit calls are made when an object is declared while explicit calls directly call the constructor. Constructors ensure objects are properly initialized.
Constructors are special member functions used to initialize objects. There are three types of constructors: 1) default constructors which have no arguments, 2) parameterized constructors which can take arguments to initialize objects, and 3) copy constructors which initialize an object from another existing object. Constructors are automatically called when objects are created, take the class name, and cannot return values or be defined as private. They play an important role in initializing class objects.
C/C++ Programming interview questions and answers document discusses key concepts in C++ including encapsulation, inheritance, polymorphism, constructors, destructors, copy constructors, references, virtual functions, abstract classes, and memory alignment. The document provides definitions and examples to explain each concept.
The document discusses class and object-oriented programming concepts such as classes, objects, member functions, and constructors. It provides examples of class declarations and definitions, and how to create objects and call member functions. The document also covers constructors, initializer lists, destructors, function templates, and class templates.
The document discusses object oriented programming using C++. It covers topics like polymorphism including function overloading, operator overloading, virtual base classes, abstract classes, pointers to objects, this pointer, pointers to derived classes, virtual functions and pure virtual functions. It provides examples for each concept discussed to demonstrate how it works in C++.
The constructor constructs objects and initializes member variables when an object is created. The destructor destroys objects when they are no longer needed. Constructors and destructors have the same name as the class and are automatically called by the compiler. Constructors can be overloaded and can have default arguments to initialize objects differently. Copy constructors allow objects to be initialized by passing references of other objects. Destructors destroy objects before they go out of scope.
The document discusses software design patterns and how they can help address common problems that arise during design. It describes three main categories of patterns - creational, structural, and behavioral - and provides examples of specific patterns like Singleton, Factory, Adapter, and Bridge. The key benefits of design patterns are that they provide proven, reusable solutions to general problems and help create flexible, modular designs that can more easily adapt to changes.
C++ (pronounced "see plus plus") is a computer programming language based on C. It was created for writing programs for many different purposes. In the 1990s, C++ became one of the most used programming languages in the world.
The C++ programming language was developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at Bell Labs in the 1980s, and was originally named "C with classes". The language was planned as an improvement on the C programming language, adding features based on object-oriented programming. Step by step, a lot of advanced features were added to the language, like operator overloading, exception handling and templates.
C++ is an object-oriented programming language created by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1985 that maintains aspects of C while adding object-oriented features like classes. C++ can be used to create small programs or large applications across many domains. Key concepts covered include functions, classes, inheritance, polymorphism, and memory management techniques like realloc() and free().
The document discusses constructors and destructors in C++. It states that constructors and destructors are special member functions that control how objects are created, initialized, copied, and destroyed. Constructors have the same name as the class and are executed when an object is declared, while destructors are preceded by a tilde symbol and are executed when objects go out of scope. The document provides examples of defining different types of constructors, such as default, parameterized, copy constructors, and multiple constructors. It also demonstrates how arrays of objects can be initialized using constructors and how constructors and destructors are automatically called by the compiler.
Encapsulation isolates the internal complexity of an object's operation from the rest of the application. Inheritance allows one class to reuse the state and behavior of another class. Polymorphism allows a client to treat different objects in the same way even if they were created from different classes and exhibit different behaviors.
Constructors and destructors are special member functions in C++ that are used for initializing objects and cleaning up resources. Constructors are called automatically when an object is created and are used to initialize member variables. Destructors are called when an object is destroyed in order to clean up resources. There are different types of constructors like default, parameterized, and copy constructors. Constructors can be invoked implicitly, explicitly, or through initialization. Destructors have the same name as the class preceded by a tilde and are used to de-allocate memory allocated by the constructor.
Gradle is easy to use for building standard Java projects, but it’s rare to find a project that is completely standard. Whenever you have some custom requirement, you need to start using Gradle’s power features. It’s at that point that you can find yourself producing an unmaintainable mess and a hard-to-use build.
This talk will start by explaining Gradle’s model, which you need to understand if you want to retain control over your builds. I will then introduce you to some simple but effective guidelines that will ensure that your builds stay clean and effective.

Introduction
A constructor is a special member function whose task is to
initialize the data members of an objects of its class.
It is special because it has same name as its class name.
It invokes automatically whenever a new object of its associated
class is created.
It is called constructor because it constructs the initial values of
data members and build your programmatic object.
3. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 3
Introduction
It is very common for some part of an object to require
initialization before it can be used.
Suppose you are working on 100's of objects and the default
value of a particular data member is needed to be zero.
Initialising all objects manually will be very tedious job.
Instead, you can define a constructor function which initialises
that data member to zero. Then all you have to do is declare
object and constructor will initialise object automatically.
4. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 4
Constructor Example
When a class contains a
constructor, it is guaranteed
that an object created by the
class will be initialized
automatically.
add a ;
Above declaration not only
creates the object a of type
add, but also initializes its data
members m and n to zero.
class add
{
int m, n ;
public :
add ();
};
add :: add ()
{
m = 0;
n = 0;
}
5. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 5
Constructors
There is no need to write any statement to invoke the constructor
function.
If a ‘normal’ member function is defined for initialization, we
need to invoke that function for each and every objects
separately.
A constructor that accepts no parameters is called the default
constructor.
The default constructor for class A will be A : : A ( )
6. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 6
Characteristics of Constructor
They must be declared in the public scope.
They are invoked automatically when the objects are created.
They do not have return types, not even void and they cannot
return values.
They cannot be inherited, though a derived class can call the base
class constructor.
Like other C++ functions, Constructors can have default
arguments.
Constructors can not be virtual.
7. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 7
Characteristics of Constructor
We can not refer to their addresses.
An object with a constructor (or destructor) can not be used as a
member of a union.
They make ‘implicit calls’ to the operators new and delete when
memory allocation is required.
8. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 8
Constructor
The constructor function is responsible for creation of object.
But in previous examples, we have not defined any constructor in
class, so how come the objects were created of those classes?
The answer is, If no constructor is defined in the class in such
situation the compiler implicitly provides a constructor, which is
called as default constructor.

Constructor
class sample
{
int someDataMember;
public:
void someFunction ()
{
..
..
}
};
class sample
{
int someDataMember;
public :
sample()
{
}
void someFunction ()
{
..
..
}
};
After
Compilation
Compiler has implicitly added a constructor to the class, which has
empty body, because compiler is not supposed to put any logic in that.
11. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 11
Default Constructor
A constructor without any parameter is known as non-arg
constructor or simply default constructor.
If no constructor is defined in a class, then compiler implicitly
provides an empty body constructor which is called as default
constructor.
12. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 12
Non-Arg Constructor Example
In example beside, the
constructor function takes no
argument, and simply initializes
radius to zero.
Non-arg constructor is also
called as default constructor.
class circle
{
float radius;
public:
circle()
{
radius = 0;
}
};
13. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 13
Default Constructor Example
In example beside, we have not
defined any constructor, so
compiler will provide an empty
body constructor to the class,
which is called as default
constructor.
class circle
{
float radius;
public:
};
class circle
{
float radius;
public:
circle()
{
}
};
14. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 14
Parameterised Constructors
Sometimes it becomes necessary to initialize the various data
elements of an objects with different values when they are
created.
This is achieved by passing arguments to the constructor
function when the objects are created.
The constructors that can take arguments are called
parameterized constructors.
15. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 15
Parameterised Constructors
class circle
{
float radius;
public:
circle()
{
radius = 0;
}
circle(float r)
{
radius = r;
}
};
Non-Arg (Default) constructor,
which takes no arguments
Parametirised constructor, which
takes 1 arguments as radius.
16. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 16
Parameterised Constructors
When a constructor is
parameterized, we must pass the
arguments to the constructor
function when an object is
declared.
Consider following declaration
circle firstObject;
circle secondObject(15);
class circle
{
float radius;
public:
circle()
{
radius = 0;
}
circle(float r)
{
radius = r;
}
};
17. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 17
Two Ways of calling a Constructor
o Implicit call (shorthand method)
circle ob(7.6);
o Explicit call
circle ob;
ob = circle(7.6);
class circle
{
float radius;
public:
circle()
{
radius = 0;
}
circle(float r)
{
radius = r;
}
};
18. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 18
Multiple Constructors in a Class
C + + permits to use more than one constructors in a single class.
Add( ) ; // No arguments
Add (int, int) ; // Two arguments
19. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 19
class add
{
int m, n ;
public :
add ( ) {m = 0 ; n = 0 ;}
add (int a, int b)
{m = a ; n = b ;}
add (add & i)
{m = i.m ; n = i.n ;}
};
The first constructor receives no
arguments.
The second constructor receives
two integer arguments.
The third constructor receives one
add object as an argument.
Multiple Constructors in a Class
20. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 20
Multiple Constructors in a Class
class add
{
int m, n ;
public :
add ( ) {m = 0 ; n = 0 ;}
add (int a, int b)
{m = a ; n = b ;}
add (add & i)
{m = i.m ; n = i.n ;}
};
Add a1;
Would automatically invoke the
first constructor and set both m
and n of a1 to zero.
Add a2(10,20);
Would call the second constructor
which will initialize the data
members m and n of a2 to 10 and
20 respectively.
21. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 21
Multiple Constructors in a Class
class add
{
int m, n ;
public :
add ( ) {m = 0 ; n = 0 ;}
add (int a, int b)
{m = a ; n = b ;}
add (add & i)
{m = i.m ; n = i.n ;}
};
Add a3(a2);
Would invoke the third
constructor which copies the
values of a2 into a3.
This type of constructor is called
the “copy constructor”.
Construction Overloading
More than one constructor
function is defined in a class.
22. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 22
Multiple Constructors in a Class
class complex
{
float x, y ;
public :
complex ( ) { }
complex (float a)
{ x = y = a ; }
complex (float r, float i)
{ x = r ; y = i }
------
};
complex ( ) { }
This contains the empty body and
does not do anything.
This is used to create objects
without any initial values.
23. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 23
Multiple Constructors in a Class
C + + compiler has an implicit constructor which creates objects,
even though it was not defined in the class.
This works well as long as we do not use any other constructor in
the class.
However, once we define a constructor, we must also define the
“do-nothing” implicit constructor.
24. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 24
Constructors with Default Arguments
It is possible to define constructors with default arguments.
Consider complex (float real, float imag = 0);
The default value of the argument imag is zero.
complex C1 (5.0) assigns the value 5.0 to the real variable and 0.0 to
imag.
complex C2(2.0,3.0) assigns the value 2.0 to real and 3.0 to imag.
25. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 25
Constructors with Default Arguments
A : : A ( ) Default constructor
A : : A (int = 0) Default argument constructor
The default argument constructor can be called with either one
argument or no arguments.
When called with no arguments, it becomes a default
constructor.
26. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 26
Dynamic Initialization of Objects
Providing initial value to objects at run time.
Advantage – We can provide various initialization
formats, using overloaded constructors.
This provides the flexibility of using
different format of data at run time
depending upon the situation.
27. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 27
Copy Constructor
A copy constructor is used to declare and initialize an object
from another object.
integer (integer & i) ;
integer I 2 ( I 1 ) ; or integer I 2 = I 1 ;
The process of initializing through a copy constructor is known as
copy initialization.
28. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 28
Copy Constructor
The statement
I 2 = I 1;
will not invoke the copy constructor.
If I 1 and I 2 are objects, this statement is legal and assigns the
values of I 1 to I 2, member-by-member.
29. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 29
Copy Constructor
A reference variable has been used as an argument to the copy
constructor.
We cannot pass the argument by value to a copy constructor.
30. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 30
Dynamic Constructors
The constructors can also be used to allocate memory while
creating objects.
This will enable the system to allocate the right amount of
memory for each object when the objects are not of the same
size.
31. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 31
Dynamic Constructors
Allocation of memory to objects at the time of their
construction is known as dynamic construction of objects.
The memory is created with the help of the new operator.
32. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 32
Destructors
A destructor is used to destroy the objects that have been
created by a constructor.
Like constructor, the destructor is a member function whose
name is the same as the class name but is preceded by a tilde.
eg: ~ integer ( ) { }
33. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 33
Destructors
A destructor never takes any argument nor does it return any
value.
It will be invoked implicitly by the compiler upon exit from the
program – or block or function as the case may be – to clean
up storage that is no longer accessible.
34. Rising Technologies, Jalna (MH). + 91 9423156065, http://www.RisingTechnologies.in 34
Destructors
It is a good practice to declare destructors in a program since it
releases memory space for further use.
Whenever new is used to allocate memory in the constructor,
we should use delete to free that memory.
