Key Points - Programming In C++

Introduction to C++

C++ programming language developed by AT&T Bell Laboratories in 1979 by Bjarne Stroustrup. C++ is fully based on Object Oriented Technology i.e. C++ is ultimate paradigm for the modeling of information.
C++ is the successor of C language.
It is a case sensitive language.

Character Set- Set of characters which are recognized by c++compiler i.e Digits 0 -9), Alphabets A -Z & a-z and special characters + - * , . “ ‘ < > = { ] space etc i.e 256 ASCII characters.

Tokens- Smallest individual unit. Following are the tokens
-  Keyword-Reserve word having special meaning the language and can’t be used as identifier.
-  Identifiers-Names given to any variable, function, class, union etc. Naming convention rule for writing identifier is as under: i First letter of identifier is always alphabet. ii Reserve word cannot be taken as identifier name. iii No special character in the name of identifier except under score sign ‘_’.
-  Literals-Value of specific data type assign to a variable or constant. Four type of Literals: i Integer Literal i.e int x =10 ii Floating point Literal i.e float x=123.45 iii

Character Literal i.e char x= ‘a’, enclosed in single quotes and single character only. iv String Literal i.e cout<< “Welcome” , anything enclosed in double quotes
-  Operator – performs some action on data o Arithmetic+, -,*,/,% o Assignment operator (= o Increment / Decrement (++, -o Relational/comparison (<,>,<=,>=,==,!=. o

LogicalAND&&,OR ||),NOT!. o Conditional (?: Precedence of operators:

++post increment, --post decrement
Highest
++pre increment, --pre decrement,sizeof !not, -unary,+unary plus)
*(multiply, / (divide, %modulus)
+add), -subtract
<less than),<=less than or equal,>greater than), >=greater than or equal to)
==equal,!=not equal
&& (logical AND
||logical OR

:conditional expression

=simple assignment and other assignment operators(arithmetic assignment operator
Low
, Comma operator
-  Punctuation – used as separators in c++ e.g. [ { ) } ] , ; # = : etc

Data type- A specifier to create memory block of some specific size and type. C++offers two types of data types:
1.Fundamental type : Which are not composed any other data type i.e. int, char, float and void
2.Derived data type : Which are made up of fundamental data type i.e array, function, class, union etc

Data type conversion- Conversion of one data type into another data type. Two type of conversion i.e i Implicit Conversion – It is automatically taken care by complier in the case of lower range to higher range e.g. int x, char c=’A’ then x=c is valid i.e character value in c is automatically converted to integer. ii Explicit Conversion- It is user-defined that forces an expression to be of specific type. e.g. double x1,x2 and int res then res=intx1+x2)
Variable- Memory block of certain size where value can be stored and changed during program execution. e.g. int x, float y, float amount, char c;
Constant- Memory block where value can be stored once but can’t changed later on during program execution.e.g. const int pi =3.14; cout – It is an object of ostream_withassign class defined in iostream.h header file and used to display value on monitor. cin – It is an object of istream_withassign class defined in iostream.h header file and used to read value from keyboard for specific variable. comment- Used for better understanding of program statements and escaped by the compiler to compile . e.g. – single line (// and multi - line/*….*/

Cascading – Repeatedly use of input or output operators( “>>” or “<<” in one statement with cin or cout.

Control structure:
Sequence conditional Multiple
Switch Statement loop control statement control statement
Choice
Alternate for if while ,do… while, for statementif if else
Statement else- if works for
If –else-if only exact match

}
Break is execute at least once if compulsory the condition is false at statement with beginning. every case because if it is not included for loop then the controls forexpression1;expressio executes next case n2;expression3) statement until next { break encountered statement;} or end of swtich Entry control loop reached. works for true condition
Default is optional, and preferred for fixed it gets executed no.of times. when no match is found

Note: any non-zero value of an expression is treated as true and exactly 0 (i.e. all bits contain 0) is treated as false.
Nested loop -loop within loop. exit - defined in process.h and used to terminate the program depending upon certain condition. break- exit from the current loop depending upon certain condition. continue- to skip the remaining statements of the current loop and passes control to the next loop control statement. goto- control is unconditionally transferred to the location of local label specified by
<identifier>.

For example
A1: cout<<”test”; goto A1;
Some Standard C++ libraries
Header
Nome Purpose iostream.h Defines stream classes for input/output streams stdio.h
Standard input and output ctype.h
Character tests string.h
String operations math.h
Mathematical functions such as sin( and cos( stdlib.h
Utility functions such as malloc and rand(

Some functions
-  isalpha(c -check whether the argument is alphabetic or not.
-  islowerc - check whether the argument is lowecase or not.
-  isupperc - check whether the argument is upercase or not.
-  isdigitc - check whether the argument is digit or not.
-  isalnumc - check whether the argument is alphanumeric or not.
-  tolower -converts argument in lowercase if its argument is a letter.
-  toupperc - converts argument in uppercase if its argument is a letter.
-  strcat - concatenates two string.
-  strcmp-compare two string.
-  powx,y) -return x raised to power y.
-  sqrtx) -return square root of x.
-  randomnum -return a random number between 0 and (num-1)
-  randomize- initializes the random number generator with a random value.

Array- Collection of element of same type that are referred by a common name.
One Dimensional array
-  An array is a continuous memory location holding similar type of data in single row or single column. Declaration in c++ is as under: const int size =20; int a[size] or int a[20]. The elements of array accessed with the help of an index.
For example : fori=0;i<20;i++ cout<<a[i];
-  String (Array of characters) –Defined in c++ as one dimensional array of characters as char s[80]= “Object oriented programming”;
Two dimensional array
-  A two diamensional array is a continuous memory location holding similar type of data arranged in row and column format (like a matrix structure.
Declaration – int a[3][4], means ‘a’ is an array of integers are arranged in 3 rows & 4 columns.

Function -Name given to group of statements that does some specific task and may return a value. Function can be invoked(called) any no. of time and anywhere in the program.
Function prototypes-Function declaration that specifies the function name, return type and parameter list of the function. syntax: return_type function_nametype var1,type var2,….,type varn );

Actual Parameters
Variables associated with function name during function call statement.

Formal Parameters
Variables which contains copy of actual parameters inside the function definition.

Local variables
-  Declared inside the function only and its scope and lifetime is function only and hence accessible only inside function.

Global variables
-  Declared outside the function and its scope and lifetime is whole program and hence accessible to all function in the program from point declaration.

Example: #include <iostream.h> int a=20; // global void main(
{ int b=10; // local cout<<a<<b;
}
Passing value to function-  Passing by value- In this method separate memory created for formal arguments and if any changes done on formal variables , it will not affect the actual variables.So actual variables are preserved in this case

-  Passing by address/reference- In this method no separate memory created for formal variables i.e formal variables share the same location of actual variables and hence any change on formal variables automatically reflected back to actual variables.
Example : void sample int a, int &b)
{ a=a+100; b=b+200; cout<<a<<b;
} void main(
{ int a=50, b=40; cout<<a<<b; // output 50 40 samplea,b) // output 150 240 cout<<a<<b; // output 50 240
}

Function overloading
-  Processing of two or more functions having same name but different list of parameters

Function recursion

-  Function that call itself either directly or indirectly.
Structure-Collection of logically related different data types Primitiv e and Derived) referenced under one name.

e.g. struct employee
{ int empno; char name[30]; char design[20]; char department[20];
}

Declaration: employee e;
Input /Output : cin>>e.empno; // members are accessed using dot.) operator. cout<<e.empno;

Nested structure
-  A Structure definition within another structure.
-  A structure containing object of another structure. e.g. struct address
{ int houseno; char city[20]; char area[20]; long int pincode;} struct employee
{ int empno; char name[30]; char design[20]; char department[20]; address ad; // nested structure
}

Declaration: employee e;
Input /Output : cin>>e.ad.houseno; // members are accessed using dot.) operator. cout<<e.ad.houseno; typedef
Used to define new data type name. e.g. typedef char Str80[80]; Str80 str;
#define Directives
-  Use to define a constant number or macro or to replace an instruction.

1. Function overloading in C++
? A function name having several definitions that are differentiable by the number or types of their arguments is known as function overloading.
Example : A same function print is being used to print different data types:
#include <iostream.h> class printData
{ public: void printint i { cout << "Printing int: " << i << endl;
} void printdouble f { cout << "Printing float: " << f << endl;
} void printchar* c { cout << "Printing character: " << c << endl;
}
}; int main(void)
{ printData pd;
// Call print to print integer pd.print5);
// Call print to print float pd.print500.263);
// Call print to print character pd.print"Hello C++"; return 0;
}
When the above code is compiled and executed, it produces following result:
Printing int: 5
Printing float: 500.263
Printing character: Hello C++
