C++ Lab Viva Questions and Answers

Basics of C++
Q: What is C++?

A: C++ is a general-purpose, object-oriented programming language developed by Bjarne

Stroustrup as an extension of C.

Q: What are the basic data types in C++?

A: int, float, double, char, bool, void

Q: What is the difference between C and C++?

A: C is procedural; C++ supports object-oriented programming (OOP). C++ has features like

classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism.

Q: What is a namespace in C++?

A: A namespace is used to avoid naming conflicts by grouping entities like classes, objects, and

functions under a name.

Q: What is iostream?

A: A header file that allows input and output using cin and cout.

OOP Concepts
Q: What is Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)?

A: A programming paradigm based on objects and classes. Principles include Encapsulation,

Abstraction, Inheritance, and Polymorphism.

Q: What is a class and an object?

A: Class: Blueprint or template. Object: Instance of a class.

Q: What is encapsulation?

A: Binding data and methods together in a class and restricting access using access specifiers.

Q: What are access specifiers?


A: private, public, protected.

Q: What is inheritance?

A: Process where one class (derived) inherits features from another (base). Types: Single, Multiple,

Multilevel, Hierarchical, Hybrid.

Functions and Constructors


Q: What is a constructor?

A: A special function automatically called when an object is created.

Q: Types of constructors?

A: Default, Parameterized, Copy constructor.

Q: What is a destructor?

A: A special function called when an object is destroyed to free resources.

Q: What is function overloading?

A: Same function name with different parameters.

Q: What is operator overloading?

A: Using operators like +, - with user-defined types (classes).

Memory & Pointers


Q: What is a pointer in C++?

A: A variable that stores the address of another variable.

Q: What is new and delete?

A: new allocates memory, delete deallocates memory.

Q: What is the difference between malloc() and new?

A: malloc() is C-style; new is C++-style and calls constructors.

Polymorphism and Virtual Functions


Q: What is polymorphism?

A: Allows functions to behave differently based on context. Types: Compile-time and Run-time.
Q: What is a virtual function?

A: A function in the base class that can be overridden in a derived class.

Q: What is a pure virtual function?

A: A function with no definition; makes the class abstract.

Templates, Exception Handling, and STL


Q: What are templates in C++?

A: Allow functions or classes to operate with generic types.

Q: What is exception handling?

A: Handles runtime errors using try, catch, and throw.

Q: What is STL in C++?

A: Standard Template Library includes ready-to-use classes like vectors, stacks, queues, etc.

Miscellaneous
Q: What is the difference between struct and class?

A: In struct, members are public by default; in class, they are private by default.

Q: What is a friend function?

A: A function that can access private members of a class.

Q: What is the use of this pointer?

A: Points to the current object of the class.

Q: What is recursion?

A: A function that calls itself.
