History
Developed by Bjarne Stroustrup at AT&T, 1986. Originally called “C++ with classes” C++: Enhanced version of C.
Stronger type checking Support for data abstraction Support for OO programming Support for Generic programming
C++ is a superset of C. ISO/ANSI C++ Standard, 1998
Example 1: A Simple C++ Program// Convert miles to kilometers#include <iostream.h>
const double m_to_k = 1.609;inline double convert(double mi)
{ return (mi *m_to_k);}
int main(){
double miles;cout << "Input distance in miles: ";cin >> miles;cout<<"\nDistance: "<< convert(miles)
<< " km." << endl;return 0;
}
New Comment Style // Convert ...
iostream.h file C++ stream I/O
Keyword const constant variable
Keyword inline inline code if possible
Input/output cin >> and cout <<
Stream manipulator endl (end line) = “\n”
Example 2: Reference Parameters andFunction Overloading
//function.cpp#include <iostream.h>
void square(int*); //by pointervoid sqrByRef(int&); //by
referencevoid sqrByRef(double&); //overloaded
int main(){
int num = 3;square(&num); //square(int*)cout <<"by pointer (int*): " << num << endl;int rNum =4;sqrByRef(rNum); //sqrByRef(int&)
cout <<"by reference (int): " << rNum << endl;double dbl = 3.5;sqrByRef(dbl); //sqrByRef(double&)cout <<"by reference (double): "
<< dbl << endl;return 0;
} // end of main
void square(int* sqr){ *sqr = (*sqr) * (*sqr); }
void sqrByRef(int& sqr){ sqr = sqr * sqr; }
void sqrByRef(double& y) { y = y*y; }
Example 2: function -- Cont’d
Function declaration A function must be
declared before it is used. void square(int*); // prototype
Pass by reference A reference is a alias of
the variable.sqr in sqrByRef(int&) isan alias for rNum in main()
Variable declaration A variable may be
declared when it is used.int rNum;
Function overloading several functions have
the same namevoid sqrBtRef(int&); andvoid sqrByRef(double&);
distinguished with different parameter lists.
int& for the first anddouble& for the second
Compiler finds the right one
Example 3: A Stack Class//Class Specification// Stack.hconst int maxSize = 10;
class CStack {public: // public interface
CStack(int sz = maxSize); // constructorvoid Push (int item);int Pop();bool IsEmpty() const;bool IsFull() const;~CStack(); // Destructor
private: // private implementationint* m_Array;int m_nTop;int m_nSize;
};
//Class Implmentation// stack.cpp#include <iostream.h>#include "Stack.h"
CStack:: // class scope oepratorCStack(int sz) {
m_Array = new int[sz];m_nSize = sz;m_nTop = -1;
}
CStack::~CStack(){
delete [] m_Array;}
Example 3: Stack - cont’d// stack.cpp - continued
void CStack::Push(int item) {
m_Array[++m_nTop] = item;}int CStack::Pop() {
return m_Array[m_nTop--];}bool CStack::IsEmpty() const{
return (m_nTop < 0);}bool CStack::IsFull() const{
return (m_nTop == m_nSize - 1);}
// class.cpp
#include <iostream.h>#include "Stack.h"
void main(){
CStack stack;
for ( int i = 1; i < maxSize+3; i++){
if (!stack.IsFull()) stack.Push(i*100);}while (!stack.IsEmpty()){
cout << stack.Pop() << endl;}
}
Example 3: Stack - cont’d
Information Hiding public interface and private implementation-
When the private implementation is changed, the users of the class do not need to change.
Constructor: It is executed when an object of the class is
created. Initialize the object
Destructor: It is executed when an object of the class is
destroyed. Clean up
Example 4: Class and Function Templates// stackTmpl.h
const int maxSize = 10;
template <class T> class CStack {public: // public interface
CStack(int sz = maxSize);void Push (const T& item);T Pop();bool IsEmpty() const;bool IsFull() const;~CStack();
private: // private implementationT* m_Array;int m_nTop;int m_nSize;
};
// stack.cpp
#include <iostream.h>#include "stackTmpl.h"
template<class T> CStack<T>::CStack(int sz) {
m_Array = new T[sz];m_nSize = sz;m_nTop = -1;
};template<class T> void CStack<T>::Push(const T& item) {
m_Array[++m_nTop] = item;};template<class T> T CStack<T>::Pop() {
return m_Array[m_nTop--];};
Example 4: Templates -- cont’d// stackTmpl.cpp -- cont’dtemplate<class T> bool CStack<T>::IsEmpty() const{
return (m_nTop < 0);};template<class T> bool CStack<T>::IsFull() const{
return (m_nTop == m_nSize - 1);};template<class T> CStack<T>::~CStack(){
delete [] m_Array;};
// template.cpp ---- Main function
#include <iostream.h>#include "stackTmpl.cpp"
template <class T> void Print(CStack<T>& stack);
void main(){
CStack<int> istack;CStack<char> cstack;
for ( char i = ’A'; i < ’A'+10; i++){
if (!istack.IsFull()) istack.Push(int(i));
if (!cstack.IsFull()) cstack.Push(i);
}Print(istack);Print(cstack);
}
template<class T> void Print(CStack<T>& stack){
while (!stack.IsEmpty()){
cout << stack.Pop() << endl;}
}
Example 4: Templates -- cont’d
Class Templates Template definition
template <class T> class CStack
{ public: CStack(int sz = maxSize);
void Push (const T& item);...private:
T* m_Array;… };
Template instantiation// stack of integerCStack<int> iStack; // stack of doubleCStack<double> dStack; // stack of charCStack<char> cStack;
Function Templates Template definition

stack){ while (!stack.IsEmpty()) { cout << stack.Pop() <<
endl;}
} Template instantiation
// stack of integerCStack<int> iStack; // stack of doubleCStack<double> dStack; // stack of charCStack<char> cStack;
Example 5: Inheritance and Dynamic Binding
CPersonm_name : stringm_age : int
GetName() costGetAge() constSetName(string)SetAge(int)Print() const
CManagerm_nMgrLevel : int
GetMgrLevel() constSetMgrLevel(int mgrLevel)Print() const
CEngineerm_nEngType : int
GetEngType() constSetEngType(int engType)Print() const
CPerson Parent class
CManager & CEngineer Child classes “is-a” CPerson Inherit all the operations
and attributes of CPerson
Print() virtual function Redefined in child
classes Dynamic binding
Example 5: Inheritance//person.h
#ifndef PERSON_H#define PERSON_H
#include <string>
using namespace std;
class CPerson {public:
CPerson(const string name, int age = 30);~CPerson();string GetName() const;int GetAge() const;void SetName(string);void SetAge(int);virtual void Print() const;
private:string m_name;int m_age;
};
#endif
//person.cpp#include <iostream>#include "person.h"using namespace std;
CPerson::CPerson(string name, int age):m_name(name), m_age(age)
{ }CPerson::~CPerson(){ }string CPerson::GetName() const{
return m_name;}int CPerson::GetAge() const{
return m_age;}void CPerson::SetName(string name){
m_name = name;}void CPerson::SetAge(int age){
m_age = age;}void CPerson::Print() const{
cout << "Name:\t\t" << m_name << endl;cout << "Age:\t\t" << m_age << endl;
}
Example 5: Inheritance -- cont’d//manager.h
#ifndef MANAGER_H#define MANAGER_H
#include "person.h"

#endif
//manager.cpp
#include <iostream>#include "manager.h"
CManager::CManager(string name, int age, int mgrLevel):CPerson(name, age)

return m_nMgrLevel;}void CManager::SetMgrLevel(int level){
m_nMgrLevel = level;}void CManager::Print() const{
CPerson::Print();cout << "Mngmnt Level:\t" << m_nMgrLevel
<< endl;}
Example 5: Inheritance -- cont’d//engineer.h

1. C++ as a better C C++ single-line comments
A common programming error is forgetting to close a c-style comment with “*/”. Using // can avoid that.
C++ stream I/O #include <iostream.h> cin>> for input and cout<< for output less error prone
Declarations of variables Don’t declare a variable until it can be initialized. Introduce the variable into the smallest scope possible.
Inline functions Prefer inline over #define Ex: inline int square(int); should only be used for simple, small functions. Reduce execution time, but increase program size.
1. C++ as a better C Reference parameters
A reference is an alias for the variable it references to. A reference must be initialized
ex: int count;int& rCount = count;rCount = 100; // count = rCount = 100
Use const reference parameters for large objects.ex: void fooByRef(const Type& r);
void fooByVal(const Type r);....Type y;fooByRef(y);//in fooByRef, r is a reference to y and// r cannot be modified in fooByVal.fooByVal(y)//in fooByVal(), a local r is created and //initialized with the value of y. The value//of y is copied to r, which can be expensive//when r is large.
1. C++ as a better C The const qualifier
Prefer const over #define - const variables are visible to debuggers.
const int MaxSize = 20;const char* ptr; // a pointer pointing to a const charchar* const roPtr // a const pointer to a char
The new and delete operatorsIn C In C++Type* ptr = malloc(sizeof(Type)); Type* ptr = new Type;free(ptr); delete ptr;Ex: ...
int* ptr1 = new int(200); // *ptr = 200int* ptr2 = new int[200]; // ptr is an array with 200 elements.delete ptr1; // delete a single objectdelete [] ptr2; // delete an arrayCStack* pStack = new CStack; // a new stackdelete pStack; //delete stack - ~CStack called
1. C++ as a better C Default arguments
provide a value for a argumentint foo(int x, int y=10);...
int z = foo(20); // equal to foo(20,10);int w = foo(30, 20); // the passed overwrites the default
Default arguments must the rightmost arguments in the list.
Scope operator When a local variable has the same name as a global
variable, use :: to access the global variable.int value = 100;int main() {
double value = 1.234; // global int value is not visiblecout << value; // print local value (double) - 1.234;cout << ::value; // print global value (int) - 100...
1. C++ as a better C Function overloading
several functions have the same name with different signatures.
The signature of a function is: parameter list
Return type is not significant & parameter names are irrelevant.
ex1: int square(int x) { return x * x; } double square (double y) {return y * y; } void main() {
int integer = 7;double dbl = 7.5;cout << square(integer); // int square(int x)cout << square(dbl); // double square(double x)
}ex2:
1: int foo(int, int); //okay2: int foo(int); //okay3: char foo(int, int); //conflict with 14: int foo(const int); //conflict with 2

Programming Assignments
Get Started with VC++’s IDE Design a C++ program that prints “Hello World!”. Use VC+
+ 5.0 to edit, compile, and run your program. See next slide for instructions
Improve Example 3 The push and pop operations in the example do not check
whether the stack is full or empty. Type in the program and change the two operations into the following, respectively:
bool Push(int item); // return true if successful, return false otherwise
bool Pop(int& item); // return true if successful, return false otherwise
// Note: item is passed-by-reference.
Modify the main function accordingly.
Compiling C++ Programs Using VC++This is an extremely simple guide on how to compile a C++ program using Microsoft Visual C++ 5
Begin Here: 1. Start-up Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 (Start -> Programs -> Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0 -> Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0) 2. (File -> New) prompts new project window. Select the type of project you will be working on (e.g. Win32 Console
Application). Change the directory to the desired directory and type in a unique project name 3. You should be in the project window. Located on left side is the navigation bar. The tabs at the bottom take you to:
The Class View - Lists the classes contained in your code File View - Lists the files containing the code Info View - An online help section
4. To add a file in the project, select tag "File View" in the navigation bar. Select the project name, and click new file (File -> New).
5. Select type of file you are adding to your project. (e.g. C++ Source Code). You must type in the name of the file, but unlike UNIX, filenames can be anything here (the extension .cpp will be added automatically to the file)
6. A new document window will appear where the code can be entered. ENTER CODE NOW! 7. Once code input is ready, Code must be compiled (BUILD -> BUILD) or simply press F7 8. The debug window will appear along the bottom of the screen. It gives the current status of the compilation and linking
process. Once it is done, it will report any errors in the core.
If there were errors: 1. Any errors during compilation or linking will be displayed in the debug window at the bottom of the screen 2. Double clicking on any error will place a pointer in the appropriate line of code in the document window. 3. Fix errors and compile again (Build - Compile) or press <control> F7 4. If no errors remain, proceed to next section. Else repeat from step number one in this section
If there were no errors: 1. Program is ready for execution. BUILD -> EXECUTE to run the program. (or press <control> F5) 2. The program will pop-up in a console window (or other depending on your choice of project)
DONE!
