C++ is based on and an extension to C Knowing similarities and dissimilarities between C and C++ will help to select the right language for your application development

Comments: Header File: #include Namespace: A defined collection of symbols and variable names within an application The main () function: must have in a program Parentheses: A function/code block name is followed by Parentheses () Braces: Boundary of code blocks

Variables: Used to contain values. Think about variables in Mathematics Statements: An instruction to the computer hardware to perform specific action. Statement Terminator: a semicolon Function calls: One function can call another function. It's just a transfer of control from one code block to another code block. However, the control comes back to the caller again.

#include using namespace std; int main() { int studentId; count << "what is your student ID" << endl; cin>> studentId; count << "Student Id " << studentId << endl; }

A C++ program must have a namespace; C program ends with.c where C++ program ends with.cpp Information communication to and from c program is treated as stream. cout and cin are used for the purpose cout and cin are practically objects

To store values case sensitive must start with letter Supportted datatypes: char, int, float, double, boolean, wchar_t float: usually 32 bits - 6 digit after decimam, double: 64 bits - 10 digit after decimal,

Can be declared anywhere Local: inside functions Static: Inside functions but do not get destroyed after Global: Declared outside the functions can be accessed from anywhere in the program Formal/Parameter Hidden variable: if a local variable use the same name of a global variable the local variable = hidden variable use scope operator :: to access the global variable inside that function

Group of variable A group of variables of the same type in c strings are null terminated arrays C++ also supports a predefined string class/data type; include

in c, define XYZ 100 in c++, const int val=1000

Enables Code Resuse Enables Data Security from Unauthorized Access Object: Attribute + behaviors Primary OOP Concepts Encapsulation: Inheritance: - reduce development time - reuse -increase maintainability of the code Polymorphism: assign different uses to an entity based onthe context Abstraction: simple representation of an objet. hide not essential attributes and behaviors

Object Oriented Paradigm: Define objects - toughest define messages define properties --define attributes --define behaviors Object behavior analysis: Understand the application Derive Objects Categorize Objects Model process flow

C++ Compliers Must Support: ANSI Standard Internationalization Template Locales Namespaces

Friend Class Friend functions and inline functions provide faster, and efficient application A function can be friend to any number of functions Use function declaration to declare friend functions Static Data Members and Static Members Function - create the common members of classes (across objects)

Constructor no return types called at object creation Destructor no return type

Operator Overloading Compile time polymorphism runtime poly - inheritance virtual functions Operator Overloading: -unary -binary -arithmetic -assignment Note: C++ does not support overloading based on return type

Early Binding/Late Binding Access Modifiers absent = protected

inheritance and destructors Diamond Problem: Virtual Base Class Overriding Pure Virtual Function

Handling Exceptions runtime errors Exceptions try and catch block throw statement Uncaught Exceptions Multiple Catch identified by operating systems if not handled passed to op system exception as int, char,class strings how it passes through functions Derived Class Exceptions catch block hierarchy place derived classes catch up

Templates create reusable code STL provides some foundational items --templatized functions and --classes These can be used to solve a variety of problems Some STL Elements Containers Algorithms Iterators STLs are compatible across operating systems

Containers Vectors Lists Maps Containers Sequence Associative

Algorithms function templates work with container templates of any type algorithm header file Iterators are objects to cycle through the containers iterator header file needs to be included if iterators are used Iterator type: Random Access Bidirectional Forward Input Output

Vector and Array Comparison container - behave the same way - infinite

Lists: class Bidirectional linear sequentially Functions begin() end() erase() insert(); (template) push_back(); push_front(); remove(); splice();

Associative Container Map templates take two parameters Functions: begin(); clear(); count(); empty(); end(); erase(); insert(); size()

Working with Templates Imagine a situation - complex + many data type Overload may help but time consuming template can help object creation define data type template overloading
