C++ Class Object Notes

The document explains the concepts of classes and objects in C++, defining a class as a user-defined data type and an object as an instance of that class. It covers access specifiers, member function definitions, object creation, and memory allocation for objects. Key points include that access specifiers control visibility, functions can be defined inside or outside the class, and memory is allocated upon object creation.

CLASS AND OBJECTS IN C++

1. Introduction to Class and Object

-----------------------------------

- A class is a user-defined data type that holds data members and member functions.

- An object is an instance of a class.

Syntax:

class ClassName {

// data members

// member functions

};

2. Specifying a Class

----------------------

Example:

class Student {

int rollNo;

string name;

public:

void getData();

void showData();

};

3. Access Specifiers

---------------------
- public: Members are accessible from outside the class.

- private: Members are accessible only within the class (default access specifier).

- protected: Members are accessible in the class and its derived classes.

Example:

class Demo {

private:

int a;

public:

void display();

};

4. Defining Member Functions

-----------------------------

a) Inside the Class:

class Sample {

public:

void show() {

cout << "Inside class function." << endl;

};

b) Outside the Class:

class Sample {

public:

void show();

};
void Sample::show() {

cout << "Outside class function." << endl;

5. Creating Objects

--------------------

Example:

class Student {

public:

void display() {

cout << "Student object!" << endl;

};

int main() {

Student s1; // Object created

s1.display();

return 0;

6. Memory Allocation for Objects

--------------------------------

- Memory for member variables is allocated when an object is created.

- Each object has its own copy of data members.

- Member functions are shared and not separately allocated for each object.
Example:

class Example {

int x, y;

public:

void setData(int a, int b) {

x = a;

y = b;

};

int main() {

Example e1, e2; // Separate memory for x and y in each object

e1.setData(1, 2);

e2.setData(3, 4);

return 0;

Summary:

--------

- Class = Blueprint, Object = Instance

- Access specifiers control visibility

- Functions can be defined inside or outside class

- Memory is allocated only when objects are created
