c++ programing language

 


Object-Oriented Programming

C++ fully supports object-oriented programming, including the four pillars of object-oriented development −

  • Encapsulation
  • Data hiding
  • Inheritance
  • Polymorphism

Standard Libraries

Standard C++ consists of three important parts −

  • The core language giving all the building blocks including variables, data types and literals, etc.

  • The C++ Standard Library giving a rich set of functions manipulating files, strings, etc.

  • The Standard Template Library (STL) giving a rich set of methods manipulating data structures, etc.

The ANSI Standard

The ANSI standard is an attempt to ensure that C++ is portable; that code you write for Microsoft's compiler will compile without errors, using a compiler on a Mac, UNIX, a Windows box, or an Alpha.

The ANSI standard has been stable for a while, and all the major C++ compiler manufacturers support the ANSI standard.

Learning C++

The most important thing while learning C++ is to focus on concepts.

The purpose of learning a programming language is to become a better programmer; that is, to become more effective at designing and implementing new systems and at maintaining old ones.

C++ supports a variety of programming styles. You can write in the style of Fortran, C, Smalltalk, etc., in any language. Each style can achieve its aims effectively while maintaining runtime and space efficiency.

Use of C++

C++ is used by hundreds of thousands of programmers in essentially every application domain.

C++ is being highly used to write device drivers and other software that rely on direct manipulation of hardware under realtime constraints.

C++ is widely used for teaching and research because it is clean enough for successful teaching of basic concepts.

Anyone who has used either an Apple Macintosh or a PC running Windows has indirectly used C++ because the primary user interfaces of these systems are written in C++.

camel case notation

Image
CamelCase notation is a common name for the practice of writing compound words or phrases where the words are. joined without spaces, and each word is capitalized within the compound. This practice is known by a large variety. of names, including BiCapitalization, InterCaps, MixedCase, etc. example: input: // CPP program to convert given sentence  /// to camel case. #include <bits/stdc++.h> using namespace std;   // Function to remove spaces and convert // into camel case string convert(string s) {      int n = s.length();        int res_ind = 0;        for ( int i = 0; i < n; i++) {            // check for spaces in the sentence          if (s[i] == ' ' ) {                // conversion into upper case     ...

variable scope in c++

Image
  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. there are following two type of variable scope in c++. local variables  global variables  1.local variables:  Variables that are declared inside a function or block are local variables. They can be used only by statements that are inside that function or block of code. Local variables are not known to functions outside their own. input #include <iostream> using namespace std ; int main () { // Local variable declaration: int a , b ; int c ; // actual initialization a = 10 ; b = 20 ; c = a + b ; cout << c ; return 0 ; } 2.global variables : Global variables are defined outside of all the ...
