 Objects – Basic Components of OOP References & Pointers in C++
• The Progress of Abstraction
• Reference Types
• Everything is an Object!
• Pointer
• Encapsulation:
– Interface of an Object • Pass-by-Value & Pass-by-Reference
– Hidden Implementation • Arrays of Objects
• Object File Structure • Arrays and Pointers
• Hiding the Implementation: C++ access control • Dynamic Object Allocation using new and delete
• Object Initialisation & Cleanup • Dynamic Arrays
• Namespaces: Controlling the scope of Objects
• Abstract Data Types
