INTRODUCTION TO C++

HISTORY OF C++
C++ is a multi-paradigm programming language that
supports object oriented programming (OOP) created
by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1983 at Bell labs, C++ is an
extension of C programming and the programs written
in C language can run in C++ compiler.
The development of C++ actually began four years
before its release, in 1979. It did not start with the
name C++. Its first name was C with classes.

In the late part of 1983, C with classes was first used for
AT&T’s internal programming needs. Its name was
changed to C++ later in the same year.
It is of course also used in a wide range of other
application domains, notable graphics programming. C++
supports inheritance through class derivation. Dynamic
binding is provided by Virtual class function.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN C AND C++
C C++
C is Procedural Language. C++ is non-Procedural i.e. Object oriented
Language.
Top down approach is used in Program
Design.
Bottom up approach adopted in Program
Design.
Multiple Declaration of global variables are
allowed.
Multiple Declaration of global variables are
not allowed.
C requires all the variables to be defined at
the starting of a scope.
C++ allows the declaration of variable
anywhere in the scope i.e. at time of its First
use.
In C, malloc () and calloc () Functions are
used for Memory Allocation and free ()
function for memory Deallocating.
In C++, new and delete operators are used
for Memory Allocating and Deallocating.

USES OF C++ LANGUAGE
C++ is used by programmers to develop computer
software
It is used to create general system software
Used to build drivers for various computer devices
Software for servers and software for specific
applications
Used in the creation of video games.

ADVANTAGE OF C++
 C++ is relatively-low level and is a systems programming
language.
 It has a large community.
 It has a relatively clear and mature standard.
 Modularity’
 Reusability and readability

DISADVANTAGE OF C++
× Data is global or local.
× It emphasis on instructions bur not on data.
× It can be generally heavy if not careful.
× Data is global and global data does not have security.

STANDARD LIBRARIES
The C++ Standard Library can be categories into two
parts:
The standard function library: This library consists of
general-purpose, stand-alone function that are not part of
any class. The function library is inherited from C.
The object oriented class library: This is a collection of
classes and associated function.
Standard C++ library incorporates all the standard C
libraries also, with small additions and changes to support
type safety.

SIMPLE PROGRAM C++
#include<iostream.h>/*Header File*/
int main()/*Main Function*/
{
cout<<"n*HELLO*n";
/*Output Statements*/
}

C++ DATA TYPES
Primary data type int, float, char, void
User defined data type structure, union, class, enumeration
Derived data type array, function, pointer, reference

C++ VARIABLES SCOPE
A scope is a region of the program and broadly
speaking there are three places, where variables can
be declared −
Inside a function or a block which is called local
variables,
In the definition of function parameters which is called
formal parameters.
Outside of all functions which is called global
variables.

LOCAL VARIABLES
#include <iostream.h>
int main ()
{
int a, b;
int c;
a = 10;
b = 20;
c = a + b;
cout << c;
return 0;
}
Output = ?
Output = 30
// Local variable declaration
// actual initialization

GLOBAL VARIABLES
// Global variable declaration:
Int g;
int main ()
{
// Local variable declaration:
int a, b;
// actual initialization
a = 10;
b = 20;
g = a + b;
cout << g;
return 0;
}
Output = ?
Output = 30

OPERATORS
• Arithmetic operators
• Relational operators
• Logical operators
• Bitwise operators
• Assignment operators

#include<iostream.h>
#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a,b,c;
cout<<“enter the value for a and
b”;
cin>>a>>b;
c=a+b;
cout<<c;
c=a-b;
cout<<c;
c=a*b;
cout<<c;
c=a/b;
cout<<c;
c=a++;
cout<<“incrementation of a by
one”<<c;
c=a--;
cout<<”decrementation of a by
one”<<c);
}
ARITHMETIC OPERATORS

#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a,b; a=10;b=13;
if(a<b)
{ cout<<“a is less than b”; }
if(a>b)
{ cout<<”a is greater than b”; }
if(a<=b)
{ cout<<”a is less than or equal
to b”; }
if(a>=b)
{ cout<<“a is greater than or
equal to b”; }
if(a==b)
{ cout<<”a is equal to b”; }
if(a!=b)
{ cout<<”a is not equal to b”);
}
}
RELATIONAL OPERATORS

#include<conio.h>
void main()
{
int a,b;
a=12;
b=10;
if(a&&b)
{ cout<<”condition is true”; }
if(a||b)
{ cout<<“condition is true”; }
a=0;
b=10;
if(a&&b)
{ cout<<“condition is true”; }
else
cout<<“condition is not true”;
if(!(a&&b))
{ cout<<“condition is true”; } }
LOGICAL OPERATORS

BITWISE OPERATOR
Bitwise operator works on bits and perform bit-by-bit operation.
P Q P&Q P|Q P^Q
0 0 0 0 0
0 1 0 1 1
1 0 0 1 1
1 1 1 1 0

Assume if A = 60; and B = 13; now in binary format they will
be as follows:
A = 0011 1100 ----> Binary Number for 60
B = 0000 1101 ----> Binary Number for 13
-----------------
A&B = 0000 1100
A|B = 0011 1101
A^B = 0011 0001
~A = 1100 0011

int main() {
int a = 7; // a = 111
int b = 5; // b = 101
cout << "Bitwise Operatorsn";
cout << "a & b = " << (a&b) << "n";
cout << "a | b = " << (a|b) << "n";
cout << "a ^ b = " << (a^b) << "n";
cout << "~a = " << (~a) << "n";
cout << "~b = " << (~b) << "n";
cout << "a >> b = " << (a>>b) << "n";
cout << "a << b = " << (a<<b) << "n";
}
Bitwise Operators
a & b = 5
a | b = 7
a ^ b = 2
~a = -8
~b = -6
a >> b = 0
a << b = 224
Output = ?
Output

ASSIGNMENT OPERATOR
An assignment operator, in the context of the C
programming language, is a basic component denoted as
"=".
int x = 25;
x = 50;

FUNCTIONS
Function is a set of statements to perform some task.
 Every C++ program has at least one function, which is
main(), and all the most trivial programs can define
additional functions.
Syntax of Function
return-type function-name (parameters)
{
// function-body
}

DECLARING, DEFINING AND CALLING FUNCTION
#include < iostream.h>
int sum (int x, int y); //declaring function
int main()
{
int a = 10;
int b = 20;
int c = sum (a, b); //calling function
cout << c;
}
int sum (int x, int y) //defining function
{
return (x+ y);
}
Output = ?
Output = 30

CALLING A FUNCTION
Functions are called by their names. If the function is
without argument, it can be called directly using its
name. But for functions with arguments, we have two
ways to call them,
Call by Value
Call by Reference

CALL BY VALUE
void swap(int x, int y); // function declaration
int main ()
{
int a = 100;
int b = 200;
cout << "Before swap, value of a :" << a << endl;
cout << "Before swap, value of b :" << b << endl;
swap(a, b); // calling a function to swap the values.
cout << "After swap, value of a :" << a << endl;
cout << "After swap, value of b :" << b << endl;
return 0; }
// local variable declaration:
OUTPUT:
Before swap, value of a :100
Before swap, value of b :200
After swap, value of a :200
After swap, value of b :100

CALL BY REFERENCE
void swap(int &x, int &y); // function declaration
int main ()
{
int a = 100;
int b = 200;
cout << "Before swap, value of a :" << a << endl;
cout << "Before swap, value of b :" << b << endl;
swap(a, b); // calling a function to swap the values using variable reference.*/
cout << "After swap, value of a :" << a << endl;
cout << "After swap, value of b :" << b << endl;
return 0;
}
// local variable declaration:
OUTPUT:
Before swap, value of a :100
Before swap, value of b :200
After swap, value of a :200
After swap, value of b :100

ARRAYS
 Array is defined as a set of homogeneous data items. An Array
is a group of elements that share a common name that are
differentiated from one another by their positions within the
array.
 It is a data structure which allows a collective name to be given
to a group of elements which all have the same type.
Syntax
datatype arrayname[array size];
 The Array which is declared as above is called single-dimension
array

Example: float salary[10];
float  data type
salary  array name
[10]  array size(integer)
The size of an array must be an integer constant and
the data type can be any valid C++ data type.

ARRAY INITIALIZATION
 In C++ elements of an array can be initialized one by one or
using a single statement
float balance[5]={1000.0, 2.0, 3.4,7.0, 50};
 The number of values between braces { } cannot be larger than
the number of elements that we declare for the array between
square brackets [ ].

C++ ARRAY IN DETAIL
CONCEPT DESCRIPTION
Multi-dimensional arrays C++ supports multidimensional arrays. The simplest
form of the multidimensional array is the two-
dimensional array.
Pointer to an array You can generate a pointer to the first element of an
array by simply specifying the array name, without any
index.
Passing arrays to functions You can pass to the function a pointer to an array by
specifying the array's name without an index.
Return array from functions C++ allows a function to return an array.

POINTERS
 Pointer is a user defined data type which creates special types
of variables which can hold the address of primitive data type
like char, int, float, double or user defined data type like
function, pointer etc. or derived data type like array, structure,
union, enum.
What Are Pointers?
 A pointer is a variable whose value is the address of another
variable. Like any variable or constant, you must declare a
pointer before you can work with it.
Syntax
datatype *var-name;

int *ip; // pointer to an integer
double *dp; // pointer to a double
float *fp; // pointer to a float
char *ch // pointer to character

USING POINTERS IN C++
 There are few important operations, which we will do with the
pointers very frequently.
(a) we define a pointer variables
(b) assign the address of a variable to a pointer and
(c) finally access the value at the address available in the
pointer variable.
 This is done by using unary operator * that returns the value of
the variable located at the address specified by its operand.

C++ POINTERS IN DETAIL
CONCEPT DESCRIPTION
C++ Null Pointers C++ supports null pointer, which is a constant with a value
of zero defined in several standard libraries.
C++ pointer arithmetic There are four arithmetic operators that can be used on
pointers: ++, --, +, -
C++ pointers vs. arrays There is a close relationship between pointers and arrays.
Let us check how?
C++ array of pointers You can define arrays to hold a number of pointers.
C++ pointer to pointer C++ allows you to have pointer on a pointer and so on.
Passing pointers to functions Passing an argument by reference or by address both
enable the passed argument to be changed in the calling
function by the called function.
Return pointer from functions C++ allows a function to return a pointer to local variable,
static variable and dynamically allocated memory as well.

C++ STRINGS
 The following declaration and initialization create a string
consisting of the word "Hello". To hold the null character at the
end of the array, the size of the character array containing the
string is one more than the number of characters in the word
"Hello.“
 Method 1: char greeting[6] = {'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '0'};
 Method 2: char greeting[] = "Hello";

int main ()
{
char greeting[6] = {'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '0'};
cout << "Greeting message: ";
cout << greeting << endl;
return 0;
}
OUTPUT
Greeting message: Hello
OUTPUT

Functions Purpose
strcpy(s1, s2); Copies string s2 into string s1.
strcat(s1, s2); Concatenates string s2 onto the end of string s1.
strlen(s1); Returns the length of string s1.
strcmp(s1, s2); Returns 0 if s1 and s2 are the same; less than 0 if s1<s2;
greater than 0 if s1>s2.
strchr(s1, ch); Returns a pointer to the first occurrence of character ch in string
s1.
strstr(s1, s2); Returns a pointer to the first occurrence of string s2 in string s1.

#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
int main () {
char str1[10] = "Hello";
char str2[10] = "World";
char str3[10];
int len;
strcpy( str3, str1); // copy str1 into str3
cout << "strcpy( str3, str1) : " << str3 << endl;
strcat( str1, str2); // concatenates str1 and str2
cout << "strcat( str1, str2): " << str1 << endl;
len = strlen(str1); // total length of str1 after concatenation
cout << "strlen(str1) : " << len << endl;
return 0;
}

FILE HANDLING IN C++
 File Handling concept in C++ language is used for store a data
permanently in computer. Using file handling we can store our
data in Secondary memory (Hard disk).
Why use File Handling
For permanent storage.
The transfer of input - data or output - data from one
computer to another can be easily done by using files.

 For read and write from a file you need another standard C++
library called fstream, which defines three new data types:
Datatype Description
ofstream This is used to create a file and write
data on files
ifstream This is used to read data from files
fstream This is used to both read and write
data from/to files

HOW TO ACHIEVE FILE HANDLING
For achieving file handling in C++ we need follow following steps
 Naming a file
 Opening a file
 Reading data from file
 Writing data into file
 Closing a file

FUNCTIONS USE IN FILE HANDLING
Function Operation
open() To create a file
close() To close an existing file
get() Read a single character from a file
put() write a single character in file.
read() Read data from file
write() Write data into file.

FILE READ OPERATION
#include<conio.h>
#include<fstream.h>
int main()
{
char c,fname[10];
cout<<"Enter file name:";
cin>>fname;
ifstream in(fname);
if(!in)
{
cout<<"File Does not Exist";
getch();
return 0;
}
cout<<"nn";
while(in.eof()==0)
{
in.get(c);
cout<<c;
}
getch();
}

FILE WRITE OPERATION
#include<stdio.h>
#include<conio.h>
#include<fstream.h>
int main()
{ char c,fname[10];
ofstream out;
cout<<"Enter File name:";
cin>>fname;
out.open(fname);
cout<<"Enter contents to store in file (Enter # at end):n";
while((c=getchar())!='#')
{ out<<c; }
out.close();
getch();
return 0; }
