Introduction

Previously, programmers starting a project would sit down almost immediately and start writing code. As programming projects became large and more complicated, it was found that this approach did not work very well. The problem was complexity. Large programs are probably the most complicated entities ever created by humans. Because of this complexity, programs are prone to error, and software errors can be expensive and even life threatening (in air traffic control, for example). Three major innovations in programming have been devised to cope with the problem of complexity.

Object Oriented Programming

Object Oriented Programming offers a new and powerful way to cope with complexity. Instead of viewing a program as a series of steps to be carried out, it views it as a group of objects that have certain properties and can take certain actions. This may sound obscure until you learn more about it, but it results in programs that are clearer, more reliable, and more easily maintained. A major goal of this course is to teach object-oriented programming using C++ and cover all its major features.

The Unified Modeling Language

The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a graphical language consisting of many kinds of diagrams. It helps program analysts figure out what a program should do, and helps programmers design and understand how a program works. The UML is a powerful tool that can make programming easier and more effective. We introduce each UML feature where it will help to clarify the OOP topic being discussed. In this way you learn the UML painlessly at the same time the UML helps you to learn C++.

Class

A class serves as a plan, or template. It specifies what data and what functions will be included in objects of that class. Defining the class doesnt create any objects, just as the type int doesnt create any variables. A class is thus a description of a number of similar objects.

A Simple Class
#include <iostream> #include <stdlib.h> using namespace std;

(1/2)

class student // define a class (a concept) { private: int age; // class data (attributes) public: void set_age(int g) // member function (method) { // to set age age = g; } void show_age() // member function to display age { cout << "I am " << age << " Years Old."<< endl; } };
6

A Simple Class
int main() { student Ali, Usman; Ali.set_age(21); Usman.set_age(18); Ali.show_age(); Usman.show_age(); system("PAUSE"); return 0; }

(2/2)
// define two objects of class student // call member function to set age // call member function to display age

Classes and Objects

An object has the same relationship to a class that a variable has to a data type. An object is said to be an instance of a class, in the same way my Corolla is an instance of a vehicle. In the program the class , whose name is student, is defined in the first part of the program. In main(), we define two objects Ali and Usman that are instances of that class. Each of the two objects is given a value, and each displays its value.

Defining the Class

Syntax for class definition

Defining the Class

The definition starts with the keyword class, followed by the class namestudent in this Example. The body of the class is delimited by braces and terminated by a semicolon. An object has the same relationship to a class that a variable has to a data type. A key feature of object-oriented programming is data hiding. it means that data is concealed within a class so that it cannot be accessed mistakenly by functions outside the class. The primary mechanism for hiding data is to put it in a class and make it private.

10

Defining the Class

Private data or functions can only be accessed from within the class. Public data or functions, on the other hand, are accessible from outside the class. The data member age follows the keyword private, so it can be accessed from within the class, but not from outside. Member functions (also called methods or messages) are functions that are included within a class. There are two member functions in student class: set_age() and show_age().
11

Defining the Class

Because set_age() and show_age() follow the keyword public, they can be accessed from outside the class. In a class the functions do not occupy memory until an object of the class is created.
12

Defining the Class

Remember that the definition of the class student does not create any objects. It only describes how they will look when they are created. Defining objects means creating them. This is also called instantiating them, because an instance of the class is created. An object is an instance of a class. ali.set_age(21); This syntax is used to call a member function that is associated with a specific object ali. Member functions of a class can be accessed only by an object of that class.
13

Using Mobile Phone as an Object

// mobile.cpp demonstrates mobile phone as an object #include <iostream> #include <stdlib.h> using namespace std; class mobile // class name should be the name of a concept { private: string company_name; string model_number; string emi_number; float cost;

(1/2)

public: void set_info(string cn,string mn, string emi, float price) { // set data company_name = cn; model_number = mn; emi_number = emi; cost = price; }

14

Using Mobile Phone as an Object

void show_info() { // display data cout << "Company cout << "Model cout << "EMI cout << "Cost } }; = = = = " " " Rs." << << << << company_name.data() model_number.data() emi_number.data() cost << << << << endl; endl; endl; endl;

(2/2)

int main() { mobile m1; // define object of class mobile m1.set_info("QMobile", "Noir A950", "dont know :)", 25000.0F); // call member function m1.show_info(); // call member function system("PAUSE"); return 0; }
15

Using Mobile Phone as an Object

If you were designing an inventory program you might actually want to create a class something like mobile. Its an example of a C++ object representing a physical object in the real worlda mobile phone. Standard C++ includes a new class called string. Using string object, you no longer need to worry about creating an array of the right size to hold string variables. The string class assumes all the responsibility for memory management.

Using Class to Represent Height

#include <iostream> #include <stdlib.h> using namespace std; class Height{ // A Height class private: int feet; float inches; public: void set(int ft, float in){ feet = ft; inches = in; } void get(){ // get height information from user cout << "\nEnter Your Height Information "<<endl; cout << "Enter feet: ";cin >> feet; cout << "Enter inches: "; cin >> inches; } void show(){ // display height information cout << "Height = "<< feet << " feet and " << inches << " inches."<<endl; }

(1/2)

17

Using Class to Represent Height

}; int main() { Height H1, H2; H1.set(4, 9.35F); H2.get();

(2/2)

// define two height objects // set feet = 4 and inches = 9.35 in H1 object // get feet and inches info from user for H2

// display height information from H1 and H2 Objects cout << "For H1, "; H1.show(); cout << "For H2, "; H2.show(); system("PAUSE"); return 0; }

18

Constructors

We see that member functions can be used to give values to the data items in an object. Sometimes, however, its convenient if an object can initialize itself when its first created, without requiring a separate call to a member function. Automatic initialization is carried out using a special member function called a constructor. A constructor is a member function that is executed automatically whenever an object is created. Constructor has the same name of class and it has no return type.

Constructors: House Example

(1/2)

// A Constructor Example #include <iostream> using namespace std; class House{ private: double area; // area in square feet public: House() : area(1000){ // a zero (no) argument constructor cout<< "House Created \n"; } void set_area(double a) { area = a; } double return_area() { return area; } void get_area(){ // get area info from user cout << "What is the area of House in Square Feet:"; cin >> area; } };
20

Constructors: House Example

int main() { House H1, H2; // define objects and calls constructor cout << "default area of House H1 is = " << H1.return_area() << endl; cout << "default area of House H2 is = " << H2.return_area() << endl; H1.set_area(1500); H2.get_area(); cout << "Now Area of House H1 is = " << H1.return_area() << " Square Feet"<<endl; cout << "Now Area of House H2 is = " << H2.return_area() << " Square Feet"<<endl;

(2/2)

system("PAUSE"); return 0;
}

Constructors: A Dice Example

(1/2)

#include <iostream> // for cin and cout #include <stdlib.h> // for rand(), srand() and system() #include <time.h> // for time() using namespace std; class Dice{ private: int number; public: Dice():number(1){ // zero (no) argument constructor // Sets the default number rolled by a dice to 1 // seed random number generator with current system time srand(time(0)); } int roll() //Function to roll a dice. { // This function uses a random number generator to randomly // generate a number between 1 and 6, and stores the number // in the instance variable number and returns the number. number = rand() % 6 + 1; return number; }

22

Constructors: A Dice Example

(2/2)

int get_number() // Function to return the number on the top face { // of the die. It returns the value of the variable number. return number; } };

int main(){ Dice d1,d2; cout << "d1: " << d1.get_number() << endl; cout << "d2: " << d2.get_number() << endl; cout << "After rolling d1: " << d1.roll() << endl; cout << "After rolling d2: " << d2.roll() << endl; cout << "The sum of the numbers rolled by the dice is: " << d1.roll() + d2.roll() << endl; cout << "After rolling again, the sum of the numbers rolled is: " << d1.roll() + d2.roll() << endl; system("PAUSE"); return 0; }

23

Destructors

You might guess that another function is called automatically when an object is destroyed. This is indeed the case. Such a function is called a destructor. A destructor also has the same name as the class name but is preceded by a tilde (~) sign: Like constructors, destructors do not have a return value. They also take no arguments. The most common use of destructors is to de-allocate memory that was allocated for the object by the constructor.

24

Destructors: House Example

#include <iostream> using namespace std; class House{ private: double area; // area in square feet public: House() : area(1000) // a zero argument const. { cout << "House Created \n"; } ~House() // a zero (no) argument constructor { cout << "House has been destroyed \n"; } double return_area() { return area; } };

int main(){ House H1; cout << "default area of " << "House H1 is = " << H1.return_area() << endl; system("PAUSE"); return 0; }

25

Destructors: House Example 2

// A Constructor Example #include <iostream> using namespace std; class House{ private: double area; // area in square feet public: House() : area(1000) // a zero (no) argument constructor { cout << "House Created \n"; } ~House() // a zero (no) argument constructor { cout<< "House has been destroyed \n"; } }; void Create_House(){ House aHouse; cout << "End of function" << endl; } int main(){ Create_House(); Create_House(); system("PAUSE"); return 0; }

Objects as Function Arguments

Next program demonstrates some new aspects of classes, which are:

Constructor Overloading
Defining Member Functions Outside The Class

Objects

as Function Arguments.

27

Objects as Function Arguments

// englcon.cpp constructors, adds objects using member #include <iostream> #include <stdlib.h> using namespace std; class Distance // English Distance class { private: int feet; float inches;

(1/3)

public: Distance() : feet(0), inches(0.0) { cout<< "No Arguments Constructor has been Called \n" ; }
Distance(int ft, float in) : feet(ft), inches(in) { cout<< "Two Arguments Constructor has been Called \n" ; } void getdist(){ // get length from user cout << "\nEnter feet: "; cin >> feet; cout << "Enter inches: "; cin >> inches; }

28

Objects as Function Arguments

void showdist(){ // display distance cout << feet << "\'-" << inches << '\"'; } void add_dist( Distance, Distance ); }; // member function is defined outside the class

(2/3)

// declaration

void Distance::add_dist(Distance d2, Distance d3) { inches = d2.inches + d3.inches; // add the inches feet = 0; // (for possible carry) if(inches >= 12.0){ // if total exceeds 12.0, inches -= 12.0; // then decrease inches by 12.0 feet++; // and increase feet by 1 } feet += d2.feet + d3.feet; // add the feet }
29

Objects as Function Arguments

(3/3)

int main() { Distance dist1, dist3; // Calls no args. constructor Distance dist2(11, 6.25); // Calls two args. constructor dist1.getdist(); // get dist1 from user dist3.add_dist(dist1, dist2); // dist3 = dist1 + dist2 // display all lengths cout << "\ndist1 = "; dist1.showdist(); cout << "\ndist2 = "; dist2.showdist(); cout << "\ndist3 = "; dist3.showdist(); cout << endl; system("PAUSE"); return 0; }

30

Constructors Overloading

Since there are now two explicit constructors with the same name, Distance(), we say the constructor is overloaded. Which of the two constructors is executed when an object is created depends on how many arguments are used in the definition:
Distance length; // calls first constructor Distance width(11, 6.0); // calls second constructor
31

Member Functions Defined Outside the Class

void add_dist( Distance, Distance ); This tells the compiler that this function is a member of the class but that it will be defined outside the class declaration, someplace else in the listing.
32

Objects as Arguments

Since add_dist() is a member function of the Distance class, it can access the private data in any object of class Distance supplied to it as an argument, using names like dist1.inches and dist2.feet. In the following statement dist3.add_dist(dist1, dist2); add_dist() can access dist3, the object for which it was called, it can also access dist1 and dist2, because they are supplied as arguments. When the variables feet and inches are referred to within this function, they refer to dist3.feet and dist3.inches. Notice that the result is not returned by the function. The return type of add_dist() is void.

33

Objects as Arguments

The result is stored automatically in the dist3 object. To summarize, every call to a member function is associated with a particular object (unless its a static function; well get to that later). Using the member names alone (feet and inches), the function has direct access to all the members, whether private or public, of that object. member functions also have indirect access, using the object name and the member name, connected with the dot operator (dist1.inches or dist2.feet) to other objects of the same class that are passed as arguments.

The Default Copy Constructor

Weve seen two ways to initialize objects.

A no-argument constructor can initialize data members to constant values A multi-argument constructor can initialize data members to values passed as arguments.

You can also initialize one object with another object of the same type. Surprisingly, you dont need to create a special constructor for this; one is already built into all classes. Its called the default copy constructor. Its a one argument constructor whose argument is an object of the same class as the constructor. The next program shows how this constructor is used.

36

The Default Copy Constructor

(1/2)

// ecopycon.cpp initialize objects using default copy constr. #include <iostream> #include <stdlib> using namespace std; class Distance { // English Distance class private: int feet; float inches;

Distance(int ft, float in) : feet(ft), inches(in) { cout<< "Two Arguments Constructor has been Called \n" ; } void getdist(){ cout << "\nEnter feet: "; cout << "Enter inches: "; } // get length from user cin >> feet; cin >> inches;

cout << "\ndist1 = " ; dist1.showdist(); // display all lengths cout << "\ndist2 = " ; dist2.showdist(); cout << "\ndist3 = " ; dist3.showdist(); cout << endl; system("PAUSE"); return 0; }

41

Returning Objects from Functions

To execute the statement dist3 = dist1.add_dist(dist2); A temporary object of class Distance is created to store the sum. The sum is calculated by adding two distances.

The first is the object dist1, of which add_dist() is a member. Its member data is accessed in the function as feet and inches.

The second is the object passed as an argument, dist2. Its member data is accessed as d2.feet and d2.inches. The result is stored in temp and accessed as temp.feet and temp.inches.

42

Returning Objects from Functions

The temp object is then returned by the function using the statement return temp; The statement in main() assigns it to dist3. Notice that dist1 is not modified; it simply supplies data to add_dist(). Figure on next slide shows how this looks. In the topic, Operator Overloading, well see how to use the arithmetic + operator to achieve the even more natural expression like dist3 = dist1 + dist2;

Structures and Classes

In fact, you can use structures in almost exactly the same way that you use classes. The only formal difference between class and struct is that in a class the members are private by default, while in a structure they are public by default. You can just as well write
class foo { int data1; public: void func(); }; //and the data1 will still be private.
45

Structures and Classes

If you want to use a structure to accomplish the same thing as this class, you can dispense with the keyword public, provided you put the public members before the private ones
struct foo{ void func(); private: int data1; }; // since public is the default.

However, in most situations programmers dont use a struct this way. They use structures to group only data, and classes to group both data and functions.
46

Classes, Objects and Memory

you might have the impression that each object created from a class contains separate copies of that classs data and member functions. Its true that each object has its own separate data items But all the objects in a given class use the same member functions. The member functions are created and placed in memory only oncewhen they are defined in the class definition. Since the functions for each object are identical. The data items, however, will hold different values.
47

48

Static Class Data

If a data item in a class is declared as static, only one such item is created for the entire class, no matter how many objects there are. A static data item is useful when all objects of the same class must share a common item of information. A member variable defined as static has characteristics similar to a normal static variable: It is visible only within the class, but its lifetime is the entire program. It continues to exist even if there are no objects of the class. a normal static variable is used to retain information between calls to a function, static class member data is used to share information among the objects of a class.
49

Static Class Data

Why would you want to use static member data? As an example, suppose an object needed to know how many other objects of its class were in the program. In a road-racing game, for example, a race car might want to know how many other cars are still in the race. In this case a static variable Total_Cars could be included as a member of the class. All the objects would have access to this variable. It would be the same variable for all of them; they would all see the same number of Total_Cars.

50

Static Data Class (1/2)

// statdata.cpp demonstrates a simple static data member #include <iostream> using namespace std; class Car { private: static int Total_Cars; // only one data item for all objects // note: "declaration" only! public: Car() // increments count when object created { Total_Cars++; } int How_Many() { return Total_Cars; } ~Car() { Total_Cars--; } }; int Car::Total_Cars = 0; // returns count

// *definition* of count

51

Static Data Class (2/2)

int main() { Car Toyota, Honda, Suzuki; // create three objects cout << cout << // each cout << Toyota.How_Many() << " Cars are in Race" << endl; Honda.How_Many() << " Cars are in Race" << endl; object sees the same data Suzuki.How_Many() << " Cars are in Race" << endl;

Car *Pajero = new Car;

cout << Suzuki.How_Many() << " Cars are in Race" << endl; cout << Pajero->How_Many() << " Cars are in Race" << endl;

delete Pajero;
cout << Honda.How_Many() << " Cars are in Race" << endl; return 0; }
52

Static Class Data

Ordinary variables are usually declared (the compiler is told about their name and type) and defined (the compiler sets aside memory to hold the variable) in the same statement. e.g. int a; Static member data, on the other hand, requires two separate statements.

The variables declaration appears in the class definition, but the variable is actually defined outside the class, in much the same way as a global variable.

If static member data were defined inside the class, it would violate the idea that a class definition is only a blueprint and does not set aside any memory.
53

const Member Function

A const member function guarantees that it will never modify any of its classs member data.

//constfu.cpp demonstrates const member functions class aClass { private: int alpha; public: void nonFunc() // non-const member function { alpha = 99; // OK }
void conFunc() const { alpha = 99; } }; // const member function // ERROR: cant modify a member

54

Distance Class and Use of const (1/3)

// const member functions & const arguments to member functions #include <iostream> using namespace std; class Distance // English Distance class { private: int feet; float inches; public: // constructor (no args) Distance() : feet(0), inches(0.0) { } // constructor (two args) Distance(int ft, float in) : feet(ft), inches(in) { } void getdist(){ // get length from user cout << "\nEnter feet: "; cin >> feet; cout << "Enter inches: "; cin >> inches; }

55

Distance Class and Use of const (2/3)

void showdist() const // display distance { cout << feet << "\'-" << inches << '\"'; } Distance add_dist(const Distance&) const; //add }; //add this distance to d2, return the sum Distance Distance::add_dist(const Distance& d2) const { Distance temp; // temporary variable // feet = 0; // ERROR: cant modify this // d2.feet = 0; // ERROR: cant modify d2 temp.inches = inches + d2.inches; // add the inches if(temp.inches >= 12.0) // if total exceeds 12.0, { temp.inches -= 12.0; // then decrease inches by 12.0 temp.feet = 1; // and increase feet by 1 } temp.feet += feet + d2.feet; // add the feet return temp; // return temp object }
56

Distance Class and Use of const (3/3)

int main() { Distance dist1, dist3; // define two lengths Distance dist2(11, 6.25); // define, initialize dist2 dist1.getdist(); // get dist1 from user dist3 = dist1.add_dist(dist2); // dist3 = dist1 + dist2 //display all lengths cout << "\ndist1 = "; dist1.showdist(); cout << "\ndist2 = "; dist2.showdist(); cout << "\ndist3 = "; dist3.showdist(); cout << endl; return 0; }

57

const Member Function Arguments

if an argument is passed to an ordinary function by reference, and you dont want the function to modify it, the argument should be made const in the function declaration (and definition). This is true of member functions as well.
Distance Distance::add_dist(const Distance& d2) const{

In above line, argument to add_dist() is passed by reference, and we want to make sure that wont modify this variable, which is dist2 in main(). Therefore we make the argument d2 to add_dist() const in both declaration and definition.
58

const Objects

In several example programs, weve seen that we can apply const to variables of basic types such as int to keep them from being modified. In a similar way, we can apply const to objects of classes. When an object is declared as const, you cant modify it. It follows that you can use only const member functions with it, because theyre the only ones that guarantee not to modify it. e.g. A football field (for American-style football) is exactly 300 feet long. If we were to use the length of a football field in a program, it would make sense to make it const, because changing it would represent the end of the world for football fans.
59

const Objects (1/2)

// constObj.cpp constant Distance objects #include <iostream> using namespace std; class Distance // English Distance class { private: int feet; float inches; public: // 2-arg constructor Distance(int ft, float in) : feet(ft), inches(in) { } void getdist() // user input; non-const function { cout << "\nEnter feet:" ; cin >> feet; cout << "Enter inches:" ; cin >> inches; }

// OK

Question

The equation of a line in standard form is ax + by = c, where both a and b cannot be zero, and a, b, and c are real numbers. If b is not equal to zero, then a/b is the slope of the line. If a is equal to zero, then it is a horizontal line if b is equal to zero, then it is a vertical line. The slope of a vertical line is undefined. Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope or both are vertical lines. Two lines are perpendicular if either one of the lines is horizontal and the other is vertical or the product of their slopes is 1 Design the class lineType to store a line. To store a line, you need to store the values of a (coefficient of x), b(coefficient of 68 y), and c.

Question

Your class must contain the following operations. If a line is nonvertical, then determine its slope. Determine if two lines are equal. Two lines a1x + b1y = c1 and a2x +b2y = c2 are equal if either a1 = a2, b1 = b2, and c1= c2 or a1 = ka2, b1= kb2, and c1 = kc2 for some real number k.) Determine if two lines are parallel. Determine if two lines are perpendicular. If two lines are not parallel, then find the point of intersection. Add appropriate constructors to initialize variables of lineType. 69 Also write a program to test your class.
