C++ : Historical Perspective
• What is C++ ?
• Who invented C++ ?
• Who are the users of C++ ?

C and C++
• C is a Procedural Language :
“Decide which procedures you want; use the best algorithms you can find”
• C++ is an Object Oriented Language:
“Decide which modules you want; partition the program so that data is hidden within modules”
• C was chosen to be the base of C++ because:
1.C is versatile and terse
2.C is adequate for most systems programming tasks
3.C runs everywhere and on everything

Basics of C++
• Structure of a C++ program
• Variables and Data types
• Constants
• Operators
• Basic Input / output

Our First C++ Program
// my first program in C++
#include <iostream.h>
Using namespace std;
int main ()
{
cout << “Hello Cs169 / Fall 2009 Students“;
return 0;
}

Variables and Data Types
• Variable : a portion of memory to store a determined value.
• How to distinguish variables ? Identifiers
• Identifiers:
– Combination of letters, digits, and underscores
– Variable names should start with letter or digit
• Important : C++ is a “case sensitive” language

More on Variables
• Declaration –
– int number1;
– float number2;
• Initialization –
– int number1 = 0;
– int number2 = 3.3;
• Assignment-
– number1=5;
– number2=number1;

Scope of Variables
• Global Variables – variables that are
declared above main() can be accessed
anywhere after the declaration
• Local Variables – variables declared in
section of code {}. Only accessible in that
region.

Initialization of Variables
Two possibilities:
• type identifier = initial_value ;
• type identifier (initial_value) ;

Initialization of Variables
// initialization of variables
Using namespace std;
int main ()
{
int x=5;
int y(2);
int result;
x = x + 3;
result = x - y
cout << result;
return 0;
}

Characters and Strings
• ‘X’ is a character
• “hello Cs169-Fall2009” is a string
• C++ library provides support for strings :
string class
string mystring = "This is a string";
string mystring ("This is a string");

Strings
Example
// my first string
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
int main () {
string mystring;
mystring = “Hello Cs169, Fall 2009";
cout << mystring << endl;
mystring = “Hello Cs169, I wish you a great semester";
cout << mystring << endl;
return 0;
}
.

Defined Constants
• #define identifier value
#define PI 3.14159265
Example: Write a program that calculates the area and
circumference of a Circle of Radius 10.

Declared Constants (const)
• Use the “const” prefix you can declare constant with specific
type
Examples:
– const int radius = 100;
– const char tabulator = 't';

Arithmetic Operators
Assignment Operator ( = )
// assignment operator
#include <iostream>
int main ()
{
int a, b; // a:?, b:?
a = 10; // a:10, b:?
b = 4; // a:10, b:4
a = b; // a:4, b:4
b = 7; // a:4, b:7
cout << "a:";
cout << a;
cout << " b:";
cout << b;
return 0;
}

Compound assignment
Increment & Decrement ( ++,--)
Relational and equality operators ( ==, !=, >, <, >=, <= )

Logical Operators ( !, &&, || )

• + addition
• - subraction
• * multiplication
• / division
• % modulo or remainder

Basic C++ I/O
• “iostream” C++ library
• Cout
cout << “Hello Cs169”; //Print Hello Cs169
cout << 120; // Print 120 on the screen
cout << x; // print the content of x in the screen
• Cin
int age;
cin >> age;
cout << age
cin >> a >> b; is equivalent to cin>>a; cin>>b;

Control structures
• if (cond) state1 else if (cond2) state2 else state3
• while (expression) statement
• do statement while (cond)
• for (init; cond; increment) statement;

Switch Statement
switch (x) {
case 1:
cout << "x is 1";
break;
case 2:
cout << "x is 2";
break;
default:
cout << "value of x unknown";
}

Functions
• We can use functions to achieve structured
programming
Int add(int a, int b){
a = a+b; return (a);
}
• ‘int’ is the return type, ‘a’ and ‘b’ are arguments
• When we call the function we must pass it
parameters matching the arguments

Passing Parameters
• Call By Value
– This is what we usually do, we pass a function
the value of a variable
• Call By Reference
– Instead of the value we will pass a pointer to
the variable. If we modify the passed variable
the change will be seen by the caller
– We use ‘&parm’ to show that we are passing
the variable at the memory location of parm

Arrays
• An Array is a set of elements of the same type located in contiguous
memory locations.
• An Array can be referenced using index

Arrays
• Intialization
– int numbers[5]={0,1,2,3,4,};
• Accessing
– num2 =numbers[1];
– numbers[0]=99;
• Passing arrays as parameters
– Declaration: int add(int numarray[])
– Call:
int array[]={1,2,3};
add(array);

Pointers
• We used pointers in call by reference
• A reference of a variable is the address that locates a
variable in Memory
• Pointer are Valuable in implementing data structures

Address Operator (&)
• The ‘&’ operator returns the ‘address of’ its
operand.
• ‘&’ can be translated ‘address of’

Dereference Operator (*)
(*)  “Values pointed by”
• Notice the difference:
& is the reference operator and can be read as "address of"
* is the dereference operator and can be read as "value pointed by”

Sizeof()
• The Sizeof() function is used to determine
how many bytes of a data type during
compilation.
• Ex:
sizeof(float) equals 4
float array[10];
sizeof(array) equals 4*10 which is40

Dynamic Memory
• Dynamic Memory allows us to determine
and allocate memory to variables and data
structures at ‘run time’.
• C++ uses new and delete;
– pointer = new type;
• New returns a pointer to the allocated memory
– delete pointer;
• Frees up the memory that was allocated

Structs
• Similar to records in Ada.
struct person_t{
char fname[20];
char lname[20];
int age;
}person1, person2;
• Here we are declaring person1 and person2 as type
person_t.
• By convention we use the _t

Accessing the struct members
• We use the ‘.’ to access members of a struct
cout << person1.fname;
person1.fname=“John”;

Pointers to Structs
• We can point to a struct like other structures.
Person_t* person1Ptr;
person1Ptr = &person1;
• We can no longer use the ‘.’ to access the
members in the struct we are pointing to.
– The ‘->’ is used
Cout << person1Ptr->fname;
– Element fname of structed pointed by person1Ptr
– Same as *(person1Ptr.fname);

C++ Classes
• A Class is User-defined type
• An Object is an instance of a Class
• A Class has :
– Members Variables
– Member Functions
– Constructor
– Destructor

Constructors
• A Constructor is a member function that initializes an Object of a
Class
• A Constructor has the same name as the class it belongs to
• A Constructor can be overloaded
• The compiler select the correct one for each use
Good Practices:
• Always define a constructor and always initialize all data members
• If you do not create a constructor one is automatically defined (not
recommended
• Warning: attempting to initialize a data member of a class explicitly
without using a constructors is a syntax error.

Constructors
Example
Class Date {
int d,m,y
Public:
//…
Date(int,int,int) //day,month, year
Date(int,int) //day, month, today’s
year
Date(int) //day, today’s month and
year
Date(); //default Date
Date(char*) // date in string
representation
}
Date today(4);
Date july4(“july 4,1983)
Date guy(“5 nov”)
Date now;

Destructors
• It is a member function which deletes an object.
• A destructor function is called automatically when the
object goes out of scope:
(1) the function ends
(2) the program ends
(3) a block containing temporary variables ends
(4) a delete operator is called
• A destructor has:
(i) the same name as the class but is preceded by a tilde
(~)
(ii) no arguments and return no values

Destructors
• It is a member function which deletes an object.
• A destructor function is called automatically when the
object goes out of scope.
e.g. a block containing temporary variables ends
• A destructor has the same name as the class but is
preceded by a tilde (~)
• A Destructor has no arguments and return no values

Destructors
Example
class mystring {
private:
char *str;
int s; //size
public:
mystring(char *); // constructor
~mystring(); // destructor
};
mystring::mystring(char *c)
{
size = strlen(c);
str = new char[s+1];
strcpy(s,c);
}
mystring::~mystring()
{
delete []str;
}

Copy Constructor
• A member function which initializes an
object using another object of the same
class.
• Copy constructor prototype
myclass (const myname&);

class myrectangle {
private:
float height;
float width;
int x;
int y;
public:
rectangle(float, float); // constructor
rectangle(const myrectangle&); // copy constructor
void draw(); // draw member function
void posn(int, int); // position member function
void move(int, int); // move member function
};
Copy Constructor
Example

Importance of a copy
constructors
• In the absence of a copy constructor, the C+
+ compiler builds a default copy
constructor for each class which is doing a
memberwise copy between objects.
• Default copy constructors work fine unless
the class contains pointer data members ...
why???

#include <string.h>
class mystring {
private:
char *s;
int size;
public:
void print();
void copy(char *);
};
void mystring::print()
{
cout << s << endl;
}

void string::copy(char *c)
{
strcpy(s, c);
}
void main()
{
string str1("George");
string str2 = str1; // default copy constructor
str1.print(); // what is printed ?
str2.print();
str2.copy("Mary");
str1.print(); // what is printed now ?
str2.print();
}

Defining a copy constructor
class mystring {
private:
char *s;
int size;
public:
string(const mystring&); // copy constructor
void print();
void copy(char *);
};

string::string(const string& old_str)
{
size = old_str.size;
s = new char[size+1];
strcpy(s,old_str.s);
}
void main()
{
string str1("George");
string str2 = str1;
str1.print(); // what is printed ?
str2.print();
str2.copy("Mary");
str1.print(); // what is printed now ?
str2.print();
}
-- same results can be obtained by overloading the assignment operator.

Inheritance
• Objects are often defined in terms of
hierarchical classes with a base class and
one or more levels of classes that inherit
from the classes that are above it in the
hierarchy.
• For instance, graphics objects might be
defined as follows:

Inheritance
• This hierarchy could, of course, be continued for more levels.
• Each level inherits the attributes of the above level. Shape is the base
class. 2-D and 3-D are derived from Shape and Circle, Square, and
Triangle are derived from 2-D. Similarly, Sphere, Cube, and
Tetrahedron are derived from 3-D.

Inheritance
class A : base class access specifier B
{
member access specifier(s):
...
member data and member function(s);
...
}
Valid access specifiers include public, private,
and protected

Public Inheritance
public base class (B)
public members
protected members
private members
derived class (A)
public
protected
inherited but not
accessible
class A : public B
{ // Class A now inherits the members of Class B
// with no change in the “access specifier” for
} // the inherited members

Private Inheritance
private base class (B)
public members
protected members
private members
derived class (A)
private
private
inherited but not
accessible
class A : private B
{ // Class A now inherits the members of Class B
// with public and protected members
} // “promoted” to private

Lect 28 P. 67 Winter Quarter
Inheritance (continued)
class Shape
{
public:
int GetColor ( ) ;
protected: // so derived classes can access it
int color;
};
class Two_D : public Shape
{
// put members specific to 2D shapes here
};
class Three_D : public Shape
{
// put members specific to 3D shapes here
};

Inheritance (continued)
class Square : public Two_D
{
public:
float getArea ( ) ;
protected:
float edge_length;
} ;
class Cube : public Three_D
{
public:
float getVolume ( ) ;
protected:
float edge_length;
} ;

Inheritance
int main ( )
{
Square mySquare;
Cube myCube;
mySquare.getColor ( ); // Square inherits getColor()
mySquare.getArea ( );
myCube.getColor ( ); // Cube inherits getColor()
myCube.getVolume ( );
}

• C++ supports writing more than one
function with the same name but different
argument lists. This could include:
– different data types
– different number of arguments
• The advantage is that the same apparent
function can be called to perform similar
but different tasks. The following will
show an example of this.

void swap (int *a, int *b) ;
void swap (float *c, float *d) ;
void swap (char *p, char *q) ;
int main ( )
{
int a = 4, b = 6 ;
float c = 16.7, d = -7.89 ;
char p = 'M' , q = 'n' ;
swap (&a, &b) ;
swap (&c, &d) ;
swap (&p, &q) ;
}

void swap (int *a, int *b)
{ int temp; temp = *a; *a = *b; *b = temp; }
void swap (float *c, float *d)
{ float temp; temp = *c; *c = *d; *d = temp; }
void swap (char *p, char *q)
{ char temp; temp = *p; *p = *q; *q = temp; }

• C++ already has a number of types (e.g., int, float, char,
etc.) that each have a number of built in operators. For
example, a float can be added to another float and stored in
yet another float with use of the + and = operators:
floatC = floatA + floatB;
• In this statement, floatB is passed to floatA by way of the
+ operator. The + operator from floatA then generates
another float that is passed to floatC via the = operator.
That new float is then stored in floatC by some method
outlined in the = function.

• Operator overloading means that the operators:
– Have multiple definitions that are distinguished by the
types of their parameters, and
– When the operator is used, the C++ compiler uses the
types of the operands to determine which definition
should be used.

(continued)
• A programmer has the ability to re-define or change how the
operators (+, -, *, /, =, <<, >>, etc.) work on their own
classes.
• Overloading operators usually consists of defining a class
member function called operator+ (where + is any operator).
Note that operator is a reserved word in C++. If anything
usually follows that operator, it is passed to the function.
That function acts exactly like any other member function; it
has the same scope as other member functions and can return
a value just like any other member function.

Steps for defining an overloaded operator:
1. Name the operator being overloaded.
2. Specify the (new) types of parameters (operands) the
operator is to receive.
3. Specify the type of value returned by the operator.
4. Specify what action the operator is to perform.

Friendship
• A friend function of a class is defined outside the
class’s scope (I.e. not member functions), yet has
the right to access the non-public members of the
class.
• Single functions or entire classes may be declared
as friends of a class.
• These are commonly used in operator overloading.
Perhaps the most common use of friend functions
is overloading << and >> for I/O.

Friends
• Basically, when you declare something as a friend,
you give it access to your private data members.
• This is useful for a lot of things – for very
interrelated classes, it more efficient (faster) than
using tons of get/set member function calls, and
they increase encapsulation by allowing more
freedom is design options.

Friends
• A class doesn't control the scope of friend
functions so friend function declarations are
usually written at the beginning of a .h file. Public
and private don't apply to them.

Friends
• Friendship is not inherited, transitive, or reciprocal.
– Derived classes don’t receive the privileges of friendship (more on
this when we get to inheritance in a few classes)
– The privileges of friendship aren’t transitive. If class A declares
class B as a friend, and class B declares class C as a friend, class C
doesn’t necessarily have any special access rights to class A.
– If class A declares class B as a friend (so class B can see class A’s
private members), class A is not automatically a friend of class B
(so class A cannot necessarily see the private data members of
class B).

Polymorphism
Compile-Time Binding vs.
Run-Time Binding
• A function’s name is associated with an entry
point, the starting address of the code that
implements the function
• Compile-time binding lets the compiler
determines what code is to be executed when a
function name is invoked
• Run-time binding is the binding of a function’s
name to an entry point when the program is
running

83
Compile-Time Binding
#include <iostream>
void sayHi();
int main() {
sayHi();
return 0;
}
void sayHi() {
cout <<"Hello, cruel world!"<< endl;
}

84
Requirements for C++
Polymorphism
• There must be an inheritance hierarchy
• The classes in the hierarchy must have a
virtual method with the same signature
• There must be either a pointer or a reference
to a base class. The pointer or reference is
used to invoke a virtual method
