2. C++ This slide show introduces C++ & compares it to C. Christine S. Wolfe Ohio University Lancaster 2008-Aug-01 Vocabulary: attribute bool cin cout encapsulation iostream method namespace object oriented private public string w_char

3. C appeared in 1972. It was developed by Dennis Ritchie at Bell Labs. In 1979, Bjarn Stroustrup at Bell Labs became interested in adding classes to C and overcoming some of the common problems with C. His additions were adopted in 1983 as C++. C++ was first standardized in 1998.

4. C++ is a superset of C. C++ C

5. The name: BCPl (Basic Combined Programming Language) …evolved into a language nicknamed “B” Dennis Ritchie adopted parts of B into his new language. Because it was a successor to B, he called it C. Bjarne Stoustrup extended the C language to invent C++ He coined the name C++ to imitate the increment operator (++) adapted from Dale. Weems. “Programming and Problem Solving with C++)

6. C++ supports (but does not require) object-oriented programming The main objects are in the std namespace and the line using namespace std; appears after the last #include statement

7. C Fundamental Data Types void char int float double C++ Fundamental Data Types void char int float double bool wchar_t C++ includes two additional data types

8. Differences: Standard I/O C #include printf scanf C++ #include cout cin cout << “The answer is “ << Result <<endl;printf(“The answer is %d\n”, Result); cin >> Rate; scanf(“\n%f”, &Rate) cout << setw(8) << setprecision(4) << my_float; printf(“%8.4f“, my_float);

9. C++ provides a robust string header that includes a string data type. C++ Code #include using namespace std; int main () { string FirstName; FirstName = “Oscar”; return 0; } C Code #include int main () { char FirstName[25]; strcpy(FirstName, “Oscar”); return 0; }

10. // my first program in C++ #include using namespace std; int main () { cout << "Hello World!"; return 0; } /* my first program in C */ #include int main () { printf("Hello World!“); return 0; } C vs C++ Comparison of the Hello World program

11. C and C++ use the same arithmetic operators: + - * / % C and C++ use the same logical operators: ! && || C and C++ use the same comparison operators: == >= != C and C++ use the same assignment operators: = *= /= %= += -= C and C++ use the same unary operators: ++ -- -

12. C vs C++ keyboard input scanf(“\n %d”, &x); #include cin >> x;

13. In C, the programmer can define a new data type based on the fundamental types. The new data type is called a structure and is declared using the struct keyword. Inside the structure, attributes are defined based on existing data types. struct TestScore { char Pnumber[8]; int TestNum; float score; }; Variables can now be declared as type TestScore. variable namesdata types int Age; float Salary; TestScore StudentIn;

14. http://cplusplus.com A class is an expanded concept of a data structure: instead of holding only data, it can hold both data and functions. class Cat { public: int GetAge(void); void SetAge(int age); void Meow(void); private: int itsAge; } ; The concept that all the attributes and behaviors of an entity are bound together in a single class is called Encapsulation C++ expands the structure to include both the data (attributes) and functions (methods).

15. Procedure oriented programming the traditional programming that is based on algorithms or a logical step-by-step process for solving a problem. http://www.pcai.com/web/glossary/pcai_p_s_glossary.html a class of programming languages and techniques based on the concept of an “object” which is a data structure encapsulated with a set of routines which operate on the data. C++ and Java are object oriented programs http://www.powerhousemuseum.com/hsc/lexicon/glossary.htm Object oriented programming When a language supports the use of classes/objects, it is referred to as object-oriented.

16. attributes Cat itsAge GetAge(void); SetAge(int age); Meow(void); methods class name Classes are diagrammed as shown below.

17. objectclass int Age; float Salary; TestScore StudentIn; Cat Puff; An object is an instantiation of a class. In terms of variables, a class would be the type, and an object would be the variable. class Cat { public: int GetAge(void); void SetAge(int age); void Meow(void); private: int itsAge; } ;

18. class Cat { public: int GetAge(void); void SetAge(int age); void Meow(void); private: int itsAge; } ; void Cat::SetAge(int age) { itsAge = age; } Each method must be defined. Methods are defined in the same manner as a subfunction. The name of the method is justified by the prepending the class name + :: method prototype method definition

19. int main() { Cat Frisky; int Years; int YearCtr; printf("\nPlease enter Frisky's age "); fflush(stdin); scanf("\n%d", &Years); Frisky.SetAge(Years); cout << "Frisky is a cat who is "; cout << Frisky.GetAge() << " years old.\n"; for(YearCtr = 1; YearCtr <= Years; ++YearCtr) { Frisky.Meow(); } printf("\n\n\n\n"); return 0; } class Cat { public: int GetAge(void); void SetAge(int age); void Meow(void); private: int itsAge; } ; When calling a method, or referring to an attribute of the class, prepend the OBJECT name (not the class name) and a period to the method or attribute.

20. Differences: String class C #include …for C-strings C++ #include …for C-strings #include …for string class A C-string is an array of chars terminated with NULL A class string is an object and has methods that can be used to manipulate the string. By default, a literal such as “Ohio University” is a C-string.

21. Declaring strings C-strings are declared and manipulated as in C string class objects are declared as type string string FirstName; string Greeting = “Hello”; A string declared as type string can... use the assignment operator FirstName = “Jane”; use the + operatorGreeting = Greeting + “ “ + Firstname (note, at least one of the operands must be a string class object) use string methodsFirstName.substr etc use comparison operators == != = > (watch out for upper/lower case)

22. C++ cin >> >> (extraction operator) extracts desired data value from the input stream skips any leading whitespace characters if data value is a char >> extracts exactly 1 character if data value is an int >> extracts characters until first inappropriate character if data value is a float >> extracts characters until first inappropriate character if data value is a string >> extracts characters until first whitespace Examples: (given: i & j are ints, x is float, ch is char, str is a string) StatementDataResult cin >> I;32 cin >> i >> j;4 60 cin >> i >> ch >> x; 25 A 16.9 cin >> i >> j >> x;12 8 cin >> i >> x;46 32.4 15 cin >> str;Jane cin >> str;Jane Doe

23. C++ Drawbacks to the >> operator when inputting strings 1.If string isn’t large enough, the >> operator will continue to store characters into memory beyond the end of the array. 2.The >> operator cannot be used to input strings with embedded whitespace.

24. Solution cin.get() (assume ch is a char and str is a string and n is an int) get() does not skip leading whitespace cin.get(ch );reads a single character (even a whitespace) cin.get(str, n);reads up to n-1 chars & appends ‘\0’ stops at newline, or n-1 chars newline left in stream cin.get(str, n, delimiter)reads up to n-1 chars & appends ‘\0’ stops at delimiter, or n-1 chars delimiter left in stream getline(cin, str) reads entire line up to ‘ \n’ extracts newline from stream and stores
