PRINCIPLES OF OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

Introduction- Tokens-Expressions-contour Structures Functions in C++, classes and objects,

constructors and destructors ,operators overloading and type conversions .

PART A

1. What is an identifier?

Identifiers are names for various programming elements in c++ program. such as variables, arrays,

function, structures, union, labels ect., An identifier can be Composed only of uppercase, lower case

letter, underscore and digits, but should start only with an alphabet or an underscore.

2. What is a keyword?

Keywords are word whose meanings have been already defined in the c compiler. They are also called as

reserved words.

(ex) main(), if, else, else, if, scanf, printf, switch, for, goto, while ect.,

3. Define constant in c++.

Constants in c++ refers to fixed values that do not change during execution of a program.

4. Define a variable.

A quantity ,Which may vary during execution of a program is called as a variable.

5. What are unary operators?

The operators that act upon a single operand are called as unary operators. The unary operators used in

c++ are - , ++, -- and sizeof operators.

6. What are binary operators?

The operators that act upon two operands are called binary operators. The binary operators used in c++

are +, -, *, / , %, =. etc.,

7. What are ternary operators?

The operators that act upon three operands are called as ternary operators. The ternary operator

available in c++ is (?:).This operator is also referred as conditional operator.



8. What is meant by an expression?

An expression is a combination of constant, variable, operators and function calls written in any form as

per the syntax of the c++ language.

9. State the difference between c and c++.C C++

(i). Procedural programming language Object-oriented programming anguage

(ii) Global variable can be declared It is an error to declare a variable as global

(iii) Function prototypes are optional All functions must be prototyped.

(iv) Local variables can be declared only Local variables can be declared any where

the start of a c program in a c++ program.

(v) We can call a main() function, within This is not allowed

a program.

10. List the various oops concepts

Four main OOP concepts

Abstraction

creation of well-defined interface for an object, separate from its implementation

e.g., key functionalities (init, add, delete, count, print) which can be called independently of knowing

how an object is implemented

Encapsulation

keeping implementation details private i.e., inside the implementation hierarchy an object is defined

in terms of other objects Composition => larger objects out of smaller ones

Inheritance => properties of smaller objects are inherited by larger

objects

Polymorphism

use code transparently for all types of same class of object

i.e., morph one object into another object within same hierarchy

11. Define class and object

Class: It is defined as blueprint or it is a collection of objects



Objects: is an instance of a class

Almost like struct, the default privacy specification is private whereas with struct, the default privacy

specification is public

Example:

class point{

double x, y; // implicitly private

public:

void print();

void set( double u, double v );

};

12. Define inheritance

Inheritance

Objects are often defined in terms of hierarchical classes with a base class and one or more levels of

classes that inherit from the classes that are above it in the hierarchy.

For instance, graphics objects might be defined as follows:

Syntax for Inheritance

class derivedClass : public baseClass {

private :

// Declarations of additional members, if needed.

public:


protected:


}

13. Define encapsulation

Encapsulation is one of thr most important features of a class.It is the process os combining member

functions and the data it manipulates by logically binding the data ane keeping them safe from outside

interference.

14. Define abstraction.

Creation of well-defined interface for an object, separate from its implementation

e.g., key functionalities (init, add, delete, count, print) which can be called independently of knowing

how an object is implemented

15. Define polymorphism

Polymorphism means having many forms. It allows different objects to respond to the same message



in different ways, the response specific to the type of the object.

E.g. the message displayDetails() of the Person class should give different results when send to a Student

object (e.g. the enrolment number).

16. List out the benefits of oops.

Can create new programs faster because we can reuse code Easier to create new data types

Easier memory management

Programs should be less bug-prone, as it uses a stricter syntax and type checking.

`Data hiding', the usage of data by one program part while other program parts cannot access the data

Will whiten your teeth

19. List out the application of oops.

Client server computing

Simulation such as flight simulations.

Object-oriented database applications.

Artificial intelligence and expert system

Computer aided design and manufacturing systems.

Real time systems, such as process control, temperature control.

20. Define data hiding.

The purpose of the exception handling mechanism is to provide a means to detect and report an

exceptional circumstance so that appropriate action can be taken.

21. What is the use of scope resolution operator?

In C, the global version of the variable cannot be accessed from within the inner block. C++ resolves this

problem by introducing a new operator :: called the scope resolution operator. It is used to uncover a

hidden variable.

Syntax:

:: variable name

22. When will you make a function inline?

When the function definition is small, we can make that function an inline function and we can mainly

go for inline function to eliminate the cost of calls to small functions.

22. What is overloading?

Overloading refers to the use of the same thing for different purposes.

There are 2 types of overloading:



Function overloading

Operator overloading

23. What is the difference between normal function and a recursive function?

A recursive function is a function, which call it whereas a normal function does not.Recursive function cant be directly invoked by main function

24. What are objects? How are they created?

Objects are basic run-time entities in an object-oriented programming system. The class variables are

known as objects. Objects are created by using the syntax:

classname obj1,obj2,,objn;

(or) during definition of the class:

class classname

{

-------

-------

}obj1,obj2,,objn;

25. List some of the special properties of constructor function.

They should be declared in the public section.

They are invoked automatically when the objects are created.

They do not have return types, not even void and cannot return values.

Constructors cannot be virtual.

Like other C++ functions, they can have default arguments

26. Describe the importance of destructor.

A destructor destroys the objects that have been created by a constructor upon exit from the program

or block to release memory space for future use. It is a member function whose name is the same as the

class name but is preceded by a tilde.

Syntax:

~classname(){ }

27. Define modular programming.



It is a process of splitting a large program in to smaller modules to perform the operations fast and,

which helps in easy error checking. Modules should be designed, implemented and documented with

regard to their possible future use in other projects.

28. What do you mean by friend functions?

C++ allows some common functions to be made friendly with any number of classes, thereby allowing

the function to have access to the private data of thse classes. Such a function need not be a member of

any of these classes. Such common functions are called friend functions.

29. Mention the types of polymorphism.

The types of polymorphism are

? compile time polymorphism

? runtime polymorphism

30. What are member functions?

Functions that are declared within the class definition are referred as member function.

31. Define dynamic binding.

Dynamic binding means that the code associated with a given procedure call is not known until the time

of the call at run-time.

32. State the difference between a constructor and destructor.

Constructor Destructor

A constructor is used to initialize the object A destructor is used for releasing dynamically allocated

memory

No symbol precedes the class name A tilde symbol precedes the class name

Constructors can be overloaded Destructors cannot be overloaded

33. What is the use of new operator?

The new operator is used to allocate contiguous unnamed memory during execution time ane returns a

pointer to the start of it.

34. What is the use of static data member?

The static data member informs the compiler that only one copy of the data member exit and all objects



of the class should share that variable without duplicating it for each instance of the class.

35. What is the different between a pre-increment and post-increment operator.

A pre-increment operation such as ++a, increments the value of a by 1,before a is used for computation,

while a post-increment operation such as a++, uses the current value or present value of a in thecalculation and then increments the value of a by 1.

36. Distinguish between break and continue statement.

Break continue

a) Used to terminate the loops or to Used to transfer the control to the

Exit loop from a switch. Start of loop

b) The break statement when executed The continue statement when

causes Immediate termination of loop executed caused immediate

containing it. termination of the current iteration of the loop.

37. Distinguish between while and do-while loop.

While loop do-while loop

a) The while loop tests the condition The do-while loop tests the condition

before each iteration after the first iteration

b) If the condition fails initially the loop Even if the condition fails initially

Is skipped entirely even in the first the loop is executed once

Iteration.

PART B (16 MARK)

1. State the merits and demerits of object oriented methodology.

Merits:

Can create new programs faster because we can reuse code

Easier to create new data types

Easier memory management

Programs should be less bug-prone, as it uses a stricter syntax and type checking.

`Data hiding', the usage of data by one program part while other program parts cannot access the data

Will whiten your teeth

Demerits:

disadvantages of C++ over Java:

Java protects you from making mistakes that C/C++ dont, as youve

C++ has many concepts and possibilities so it has a steep learning curve

extensive use of operator overloading, function overloading and virtual

functions can very quickly make C++ programs very complicated



shortcuts offered in C++ can often make it completely unreadable, just like in C

2. Explain the basic concepts of object oriented programming in detail with example.

BASIC CONCEPTS OF OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

These include:

? Objects? Classes

? Data abstraction and encapsulation

? Inheritance

? Polymorphism

? Dynamic binding

? Message passing

Objects:

Objects are the basic run-time entities in an object oriented programming. They may represent a

person, a place, a bank account or any item that the program has to handle. They may represent user-

defined data such as vectors, time and lists. Programming problem is analyzed in terms of objects and

the nature of communication b/n them.

When a program is executed, the objects interact by sending messages to another. Each object contains

data and code to manipulate the data. Objects can interact without having to know the details of each

others data or code. It is sufficient to know the type of message

accepted, and the type of message accepted and the type of response returned by the objects.

Classes:

The entire set of data and code of an object can made a user defined data type with the help of a class.

In fact the objects are variable of the type class. Once class has been defined we can create any number

of objects belonging to that class. In short, a class serves as a blueprint or a plan or a template. It

specifies what data and what functions will be included in objects of that class. Defining the class

doesnt create any objects, just as the mere existence of a type int doesnt create any variables.

Data Abstraction and Encapsulation:

The wrapping up of data and functions into a single unit is known as encapsulation. It is the most striking

feature of the class. The data is not accessible to the outside world and only those functions which are

wrapped in the class can access it. These functions provide interface b/n the objects data and the

program. This insulation of the data from direct access by the program is called data hiding or

information hiding.

Abstraction represents the act of representing the essential features without including the background

details or explanations. Classes use the concept of abstraction and are defined as a list of abstract

attributes such as size, weight and cost and functions to operate on these attributes. The attributes are

called data members and functions are called member functions or methods.

Since the classes use the concept of data abstraction, they are known as Abstract Data Types (ADT).

Inheritance:

It is the process by which objects of one class acquire the properties of objects of another class. It

supports the concept of hierarchical classification. For example, the bird robin is a part of the class

flying bird which is again a part of the class bird.



This concept provides the idea of reusability. This means that we can add additional features to an

existing class without modifying it. This is possible by a deriving a new class from an existing one. The

new class will have the combined features of both the classes.

Polymorphism:

It means the ability to take more than one form. An operation may exhibit different behavior in different

instances. The behavior depends upon the types of data used in the operation. For example the

operation addition will generate sum if the operands are numbers whereas if the operands are strings

then the operation would produce a third string by concatenation. The process of making an operator to

exhibit different behaviors in different instances is known as operator overloading.

A single function name can be used to handle different types of tasks based on the number and types of

arguments. This is known as function overloading.

It allows objects to have different internal structures to share the same external interface.

Dynamic Binding:

Binding refers to the linking of a procedure call to the code to be executed in response to the call.

Dynamic Binding (late binding) means the code associated with the given procedure call is not known

until the time of the call at run-time. It is associated with the polymorphism and inheritance.

Message Passing:

The process of programming in OOP involves the following basic steps:

? Creating classes that define objects and their behavior

? Creating objects from class definitions

? Establishing communication among objects

A message for an object is request for execution of a procedure and therefore will invoke a function

(procedure) in the receiving object that generates the desired result.

Message passing involves specifying the name of the object, the name of the function (message) and the

information to be sent.

E.g.: employee.salary(name);

Object: employee

Message: salary

Information: name

3. State the rules to be followed while overloading an operator.write a program to illustrate overloading.

OPERATOR OVERLOADING:

Operator overloading means giving additional meaning to existing operators

By operator overloading an existing operator can be made to perform different operations than the

stipulated one.





}

void show()

{

cout <<"\n The value of the object is\n"<<a;

}void operator - ()

{

a=-a;

}

};

void main()

{

clrscr();

unary u;

u.get();

u.show();

-u; //unary operator - called

u.show();

getch();

}

O/P:

The value of the object is

10

The value of the object is

-10

In the above program, the unary operator minus is overloaded.

In this an object u is created and given the value 10

When the unary operator is called the operator function is invoked and the value of the member

data of the object u is negated.

The negated value is then displayed.



4. (i)Describe the application of oop technology

Applications of OOP:

? Real time systems? Simulation and modeling

? AI and expert systems

? Neural networks and parallel programming.

Decision support and office automation systems

(ii)What is an inline function?

INLINE FUNCTIONS :

An inline function is a function that is expanded in line when it is invoked. That is , the complier replaces

the function call with the corresponding function code.The inline function are defined as follows:

inline function header

{

function body

}

Example :

inline int cube(int a)

{

return (a*a*a);

}

Program :

#include

inline float mul(float x, float y)

{

return (x*y);

}

inline float div(double p, double q)

{

return( p / q )

}

int main()

{

float a=12.35;

float b=9.32;

cout<< mul(a,b);

cout<<div(a,b);

return 0;



}

5. (i).Explain copy constructor with suitable c++ coding.

Constructor:

A constructor is a special member function whose task is to initialize the objects of its class. It is specialbecause its name is the same as the class name. The constructor is invoked whenever an object of its

associated class its created.

A constructor is declared and defined as follows:

class sample

{

int m,n;

public:

sample()

{

m = n = 0;

}

// some code

};

void main()

{

sample s; // object is created

// some code

}

During the object creation, it also initializes the data members m and n to 0.

Default Constructor:

A constructor that accepts no parameters is called the default constructor.

Characteristics of a constructor:

? They should be declared in the public section

? They are invoked automatically when the objects are created

? They do not have return types

? They cannot be inherited

? They can have default arguments

? It cannot be virtual

? We cannot refer to their addresses

? An object with a constructor or destructor can not be used as a member of a union

? They make implicit calls to the operators new and delete when memory allocation is required

Copy constructor:

A copy constructor takes a reference to an object of the same class as itself as an argument.

Example:



It sets the value of every data element of s3 to the value of the corresponding data element of s2

Constructors with default arguments:

It is possible to define constructors with default arguments.

Example:

Inside the class definition:sample(int a, int b = 10)

Inside the main():

sample s2(20);

assigns 20 to x and 10 to y.

where as

sample s5(25,35) ; assigns 25 to x and 35 to y

(ii).List out the rules for overloading operator.

OPERATOR OVERLOADING:

Operator overloading means giving additional meaning to existing operators

By operator overloading an existing operator can be made to perform different operations than the

stipulated one.

It doesnt change the meaning and precedence of the original operator.

Almost all the operators in c++ can be overloaded except the following

o Sizeof ()

o Conditional operator (?:)

o Scope resolution operator (::)

o Class member access operator (.,.*)

SYNTAX:

Return-type operator op-symbol(argument list)

{

body of the function;

}

Generally there are three general classifications of operator namely

Operator

Unary binary ternary

Among the above unary and binary operators can be overloaded and ternary operator cannot be



overloaded.

6. Compare and contrast the following control structure with example:

(i). break statement & continue statement.

Break continue

a) Used to terminate the loops or to Used to transfer the control to the

Exit loop from a switch. Start of loop

b) The break statement when executed The continue statement when

causes Immediate termination of loop executed caused immediate

containing it. termination of the current iteration of the loop.

(ii). Do while and the while statement.

While loop do-while loop

c) The while loop tests the condition The do-while loop tests the condition

before each iteration after the first iteration

d) If the condition fails initially the loop Even if the condition fails initially

Is skipped entirely even in the first the loop is executed once

Iteration.

UNIT II

ADVANCED OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING

Inheritance, Extending classes, Pointers, Virtual functions and polymorphism, File Handling Templates,

Exception handling, Manipulating strings.



PART A

1. What are the c++ operators that cannot be overloaded?

? Size operator (sizeof)

? Scope resolution operator (::)? Class member access operators(. , .*)

? Conditional operator (?:)

2. What is a virtual base class?

When a class is declared as virtual c++ takes care to see that only copy of that class is inherited,

regardless of how many inheritance paths exist between the virtual base class and a derived class.

3. What is the difference between base class and derived class?

The biggest difference between the base class and the derived class is that the derived class contains the

data members of both the base and its own data members. The other difference is based on the

visibility modes of the data members.

4. What are the rules governing the declaration of a class of multiple inheritance?

More than one class name should be specified after the : symbol.

Visibility modes must be taken care of.

If several inheritance paths are employed for a single derived class the base class must be appropriately

declared

5. Mention the types of inheritance.

Single inheritance.

2. Multiple inheritance.

3. Hierarchical inheritance.

4. Multilevel inheritance.

5. Hybrid inheritance.

6. Define dynamic binding.

Dynamic binding means that the code associated with a given procedure call is not known until the time

of the call at run-time.

7. What do u mean by pure virtual functions?

A pure virtual function is a function declared in a base class that has no definition relative to the base



class. In such cases, the compiler requires each derived class to either define the function or redeclare it

as a pure virtual function. A class containing pure virtual functions cannot be used to declare any objects

of its own.

8. What are templates?

Templates enable us to define generic classes. A template can be considered as a kind of macro. When

an object of a specific type is defined for actual use, the template definition for that class is substituted

with the required data type. Since a template is defined with a parameter that would be replaced by the

specific data type at the time of actual use of the class or function, the templates are sometimes called

parameterized classes or functions

9. What is exception handling?

The purpose of the exception handling mechanism is to provide a means to detect and report an

exceptional circumstance so that appropriate action can be taken.

10. Give the general format of class template.

The general format of a class template is:

template

class classname

{

//

//class member specification

//with anonymous type T

//wherever appropriate

//

};

11. Can we overlaod template function if so explain how.

Yes, a template function can be overloaded either by template functions or ordinary functions of its

name. in such cases, the overloading resolution is accomplished as follows:

1) Call an ordinary function that has an exact match.

2) Call a template function that could be created with an exact match.

3) Try normal overloading resolution to ordinary functions and call the one that matches.

12. List the kinds of exception.

Exceptions are of two kinds namely

Synchronous exceptions



Asynchronous exceptions

13. What are the errors in synchronous type exceptions?

Errors such as out-of-range index and over-flow belong to the synchronous type exceptions.

14. What are the errors in asynchronous type exceptions?

The errors that ware caused by errors beyond the control of the program (such as keyboard interrupts)

are called asynchronous exceptions.

15. What are the tasks that are performed by the error handling mechanism?

The mechanism suggests a separate error handling code that performs the following tasks:

1) Find the problem (Hit the exception).

2) Inform that an error has occurred (Throw the exception).

3) Receive the error information (Catch the exception).

4) Take corrective actions (Handle the exception).

16. Mention the key words used in exception handling.

The keywords used in exception handling are

throw

try

catch

17. Give the syntax of exception handling mechanism.

The syntax of exception handling mechanism is as follows:

try

{

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

throw exception

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

}

catch(type arguments)

{

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

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

}

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



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

18. List the ios format function.

The ios format functions are as follows:

width() precision()

fill()

setf()

unsetf()

19. List the manipulators.

The manipulators are:

setw()

setprecision()

setfill()

setiosflags()

resetiosflags()

20. Mention the equicalent ios function for manipulators.

Manipulator Equivalent ios function

setw(int w) width()

setprecision(int d) precision()

setfill(int c) fill()

setiosflags(long f) setf()

resetiosflags(long f) unsetf()

endl \n

21. Define fill functions.

The fill( ) function can be used to fill the unused positions of the field by any desired character rather

than by white spaces (by default). It is used in the following form:

cout.fill(ch);

where ch represents the character which is used for fi lling the unused positions. For example, the

statements

cout.fill(*);

cout.width(10);

cout<<5250<<\n;

will produce the following output:

PART B



1. Explain hybrid inheritance with suitable C++ coding.

2. Explain multiple inheritances with suitable c++ coding.

INHERITANCE:

Inheritance is a mechanism of deriving a new class from a old class.

It provides the concept of reusability By inheritance some or all the properties of a class can be derived in to another class.

The class which provides the properties is called as base class and the class which derives the

properties is called as derived class.

Multiple inheritance:

It is a type of inheritance in which a class can inherit properties from more than one class.

Syntax:

Class derivedclass name : visibility mode baseclass1,visibilitmode baseclass2

{

body of the derived class;

};

visibility mode can be either private or public.

Example :

#include

#include

class bc1

{

protected:

int a;

public :

void get()

{

cout <<\n enter the value for a\n;

cin >>a;

}

};

class bc2



{

protected:

int b;

public;

void get1()

{cout << \n enter the value for b \n;

cin>>b;

}

};

class dc : public bc1, public bc2

{

public :

void show()

{

cout <<The values of a and b are ;

cout <<a<<\n<<b;

}

};

void main()

{

clrscr();

dc d;

d.get();

d.get1();

d.show();

}

3. Define polymorphism. Explain the different types of polymorphism.

Polymorphism



Run time compile time

Or or

Dynamic binding static binding

Or or

late binding early binding

Virtual fuctions operator overloading function overloading

Linking a function call to the function definition is called as binding.

If the binding is done at compile time then it is called as compile time polymorphism.

Compile time polymorphism is achieved by using function overloading and operator overloading.

If the binding is done at run time then it is called as run time polymorphism. It is achieved by using

virtual functions.

VIRTUAL FUNCTIONS:

When the same function is used in both the base class and derived class and if a pointer of base class is

used to access the members of the derived class , then the members appropriate to the base class is

called.

Example:

#include

#include

class base

{

public:

void show()

{

cout <<\n This is a base class\n;

}

};

class derived : public base

{

public:

void show()



{

cout <<\n This is a derived class\n;

}

};

void main(){

base b,*bptr;

bptr=&b;

bptr->show();

derived d;

bptr=&d;

bptr->show();

getch();

}

o/p

This is a base class


This can be overcome by using virtual functions.

The base class member functions should be preceeded by a keyword virtual.

Example:

#include

#include

class base

{

public:

virtual void show()

{

cout <<\n This is a base class\n;

}

};

class derived : public base

{

public:

void show()

{

cout <<\n This is a derived class\n;



}

};

void main()

{

base b,*bptr;bptr=&b;

bptr->show();

derived d;

bptr=&d;

bptr->show();

getch();

}

o/p


This is a derived class

4. Explain multiple catch statement with help of suitable C++ coding.

EXCEPTION HANDLING

Exceptions are run time anomalies or unusual conditions that a program may encounter while

executing. Anomalies might include conditions such as division by zero, access to an array outside of its

bounds, or running out of memory or disk space. When a program encounters an exceptional condition,

it is important that it is identified and dealt with effectively.

Exceptions are of two kinds, namely, synchronous exceptions and asynchronous exceptions. Errors such

as out-of-range index and over flow belong to the synchronous exceptions. The errors that are

caused by events beyond the control of the program are called asynchronous exceptions. The proposed

exception handling mechanism is designed to handle only synchronous exceptions. The mechanism

performs following tasks:

? Find the problem (Hit the exception).

? Inform that an error has occurred (Throw the exception).

? Receive the error information (Catch the expression).

? Take corrective actions (Handle the exceptions).

The error handling code basically consists of two segments one to detect errors and to throw

exceptions, and other to catch the exceptions and to take appropriate actions.

Exception Handling Mechanism:



It is built upon three keywords, namely, try, throw and catch.

The keyword try is used to preface a block of statements which may generate exceptions. This block of

statements is known as try block.

When an exception is detected, it is thrown using a throw statement in the try block.

A catch block is defined by the keyword catch catches the exception thrown by the throw statement

in the try block, and handles it appropriately. If the type of object thrown matches the arg type in thecatch statement, then catch block is executed for handling the exception.

If they do not match the program is aborted with the help of the abort() function is invoked by default.

When no exception is detected and thrown, the control goes to the statement immediately after the

catch block.

Most often exceptions are thrown by the functions that are invoked from within the try blocks. The

point at which the throw is executed is called the throw point.

The general format of code for this kind of relationship is shown below

Multiple catch statements:

It is possible that a program segment has more than one condition to throw an exception. In such cases,

we can associate more than one catch statement with a try as shown below:

try

{ // try block

}

catch(type1 arg)

{ // catch block1 }

catch(type2 arg)

{ // catch block2 }

catch(typeN arg)

{ // catch blockN }

Catch All Exceptions:

In some situations we may not be able to anticipate all possible types of exceptions we can force a catch

statement to catch all exceptions instead of a certain type alone. This is achieved as follows:

catch ()

{

// statement of processing all exceptions

}

5. Describe the various file modes and its syntax.

FILE

To handle large volumes of data, we need to use some devices such as floppy disk or hard disk to store

the data. The data is stored in these devices using the concept of files. A file is a collection of related

data stores in a particular area on the disk. Programs can be designed to perform the read and write



operations on these files.

A program involves either or both of the following kinds of data communication:

1. Data transfer between the console unit and the program.

2. Data transfer between the program and a disk file.

The I/O system of C++ uses file stream as an interface b/n the programs and the files.

The stream that supplies data to the program is known as input stream. The stream that receives datafrom the program is known as output stream. In other words, the input stream reads data from the file

and the output stream writes data to the file.

Classes for File Stream Operations:

The I/O system of C++ contains a set of classes that define the file handling methods. These include

ifstream, ofstream and fstream. These classes are contained in the header file fstream. This file should

be included for performing file operations.

The filename is a string of characters that make up a valid filename for the operating system. It may

contain two parts, a primary name and an optional period with extension.

Examples:

Input.txt

Student

For opening a file, we must create a file stream and then link it to the filename. There are two ways of

opening a file:

? Using the constructor function of the class.

? Using the member function open() of the class.

The first method is useful when only one file in the stream is used. The second method is useful when

multiple files are managed using one stream.

File Modes:

The two methods that we discussed can also take two arguments instead of one. The second argument

will specify the file-mode. The general form of the function open() with two arguments is:

stream-object.open (filename, mode);

Parameter Meaning

ios::app Append to end of file

ios::ate Go to end of file on opening

ios::binary Binary file

ios::in Open file for reading only

ios::nocreate Open fails if the file does not exist

ios::noreplace Open fails if the file already exists

ios::out Open file for writing only

ios::trunc Delete the contents of the file if it exists

File pointers and their manipulations:

Each file has two associated pointers known as the file pointers. They are input pointer and output



pointer. The input pointer is used for reading the contents of a given file location and the output pointer

is used for writing to a given file location.

Read only mode:

Input pointer is automatically set at the beginning so that we can read the file from start.

Write only mode:

Existing contents are deleted and the output pointer is set at the beginning.Append mode:

The output pointer is set to the end of file.

Functions for manipulations of file pointers:

seekg() Moves input pointer to a specified location

seekp() Moves output pointer to a specified location

tellg() Gives the current position of the input pointer

tellp() Gives the current position of the output pointer

Example:

infile.seekg(10);

moves file pointer to the byte number 10. The bytes are numbered from zero hence it points to the 11th

byte in the file.

ofstream out

out.open(filename,ios::app);

int p = out.tellp();

The above program will give the number of bytes in the file, since the file is opened in the append mode.

6. Discuss the need for exception with try, catch and throw keywords.

Exceptions are run time anomalies or unusual conditions that a program may encounter while

executing. Anomalies might include conditions such as division by zero, access to an array outside of its

bounds, or running out of memory or disk space. When a program encounters an exceptional condition,

it is important that it is identified and dealt with effectively.

Exceptions are of two kinds, namely, synchronous exceptions and asynchronous exceptions. Errors such

as out-of-range index and over flow belong to the synchronous exceptions. The errors that are

caused by events beyond the control of the program are called asynchronous exceptions. The proposed

exception handling mechanism is designed to handle only synchronous exceptions. The mechanism

performs following tasks:

? Find the problem (Hit the exception).

? Inform that an error has occurred (Throw the exception).

? Receive the error information (Catch the expression).

? Take corrective actions (Handle the exceptions).

The error handling code basically consists of two segments one to detect errors and to throw

exceptions, and other to catch the exceptions and to take appropriate actions.

Exception Handling Mechanism:

It is built upon three keywords, namely, try, throw and catch.

The keyword try is used to preface a block of statements which may generate exceptions. This block of



statements is known as try block.

When an exception is detected, it is thrown using a throw statement in the try block.

A catch block is defined by the keyword catch catches the exception thrown by the throw statement

in the try block, and handles it appropriately. If the type of object thrown matches the arg type in thecatch statement, then catch block is executed for handling the exception.

If they do not match the program is aborted with the help of the abort() function is invoked by default.

When no exception is detected and thrown, the control goes to the statement immediately after the

catch block.

Most often exceptions are thrown by the functions that are invoked from within the try blocks. The

point at which the throw is executed is called the throw point.

The general format of code for this kind of relationship is shown below:

Example:

#include

void divide(int a, int b)

{

if(b!=0)

cout << Result = << a/b;

else

throw(b);

}

void main()

{

cout << Enter two numbers ;

int x,y;

cin >> x >> y;

try

{

divide(x,y);

}

catch(int i)

{

cout << Error! Dividing by Zero ;

}



7. Explain the various forms of inheritance in C++ with necessary coding.

INHERITANCE:

Inheritance is a mechanism of deriving a new class from a old class.

It provides the concept of reusability

By inheritance some or all the properties of a class can be derived in to another class. The class which provides the properties is called as base class and the class which derives the

properties is called as derived class.

Types:

There are five types of inheritance viz

1. Single level inheritance

2. Multiple inheritance

3. Multilevel inheritance

4. Hybrid inheritance and

5. Hierarchical inheritance

Multiple inheritance:

It is a type of inheritance in which a class can inherit properties from more than one class.

Syntax:

Class derivedclass name : visibility mode baseclass1,visibilitmode baseclass2

{

body of the derived class;

};

visibility mode can be either private or public.

diagram:

class bc1

{

protected:

PART B

1. How do you analyses an algorithm?



Algorithm analysis refers to the process of determining how much computing time and storage that

algorithms will require. In other words, its a process of predicting the resource requirement of

algorithms in a given environment.

In order to solve a problem, there are many possible algorithms. One has to be able to choose the best

algorithm for the problem at hand using some scientific method. To classify some data structures and

algorithms as good, we need precise ways of analyzing them in terms of resource requirement. Themain resources are:

Running Time

Memory Usage

Communication Bandwidth

Running time is usually treated as the most important since computational time is the most precious

resource in most problem domains.

There are two approaches to measure the efficiency of algorithms:

Empirical: Programming competing algorithms and trying them on different instances.

Theoretical: Determining the quantity of resources required mathematically (Execution time, memory

space, etc.) needed by each algorithm.

However, it is difficult to use actual clock-time as a consistent measure of an algorithms efficiency,

because clock-time can vary based on many things. For example,

Specific processor speed

Current processor load

Specific data for a particular run of the program

o Input Size

o Input Properties

Operating Environment

Accordingly, we can analyze an algorithm according to the number of operations required, rather than

according to an absolute amount of time involved. This can show how an algorithms efficiency changes

according to the size of the input.

Complexity Analysis

Complexity Analysis is the systematic study of the cost of computation, measured either in time units or

in operations performed, or in the amount of storage space required.

The goal is to have a meaningful measure that permits comparison of algorithms independent of

operating platform.

There are two things to consider:

Time Complexity: Determine the approximate number of operations required to solve a problem of

size n.

Space Complexity: Determine the approximate memory required to solve a problem of size n.

Complexity analysis involves two distinct phases:

Algorithm Analysis: Analysis of the algorithm or data structure to produce a function T (n) that



describes the algorithm in terms of the operations performed in order to measure the complexity of the

algorithm.

Order of Magnitude Analysis: Analysis of the function T (n) to determine the general complexity

category to which it belongs.

There is no generally accepted set of rules for algorithm analysis. However, an exact count of operationsis commonly used.

Analysis Rules:

1. We assume an arbitrary time unit.

2. Execution of one of the following operations takes time 1:

Assignment Operation

Single Input/Output Operation

Single Boolean Operations

Single Arithmetic Operations

Function Return

3. Running time of a selection statement (if, switch) is the time for the condition evaluation + the

maximum of the running times for the individual clauses in the selection.

4. Loops: Running time for a loop is equal to the running time for the statements inside the loop *

number of iterations.

The total running time of a statement inside a group of nested loops is the running time of the

statements multiplied by the product of the sizes of all the loops.

For nested loops, analyze inside out.

Always assume that the loop executes the maximum number of iterations possible.

5. Running time of a function call is 1 for setup + the time for any parameter calculations + the time

required for the execution of the function body.

Examples:

1. int count(){

int k=0;

cout<< Enter an integer;

cin>>n;

for (i=0;i<n;i++)

k=k+1;

return 0;}

Time Units to Compute

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

1 for the output statement.

1 for the input statement.

In the for loop:

1 assignment, n+1 tests, and n increments.

1 for the return statement.

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

T (n)= 1+1+1+(1+n+1+n)+2n+1 = 4n+6 = O(n)

2. int total(int n)

{int sum=0;

for (int i=1;i<=n;i++)

sum=sum+1;

return sum;

}


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

In the for loop:


n loops of 2 units for an assignment, and an addition.


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

T (n)= 1+ (1+n+1+n)+2n+1 = 4n+4 = O(n)

3. void func()

{

int x=0;

int i=0;

int j=1;

cout<< Enter an Integer value;

cin>>n;

while (i<n){

x++;

i++;

}

while (j<n)

{

j++;

}

}


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

1 for the first assignment statement: x=0;

1 for the second assignment statement: i=0;



1 for the third assignment statement: j=1;

1 for the output statement.

1 for the input statement.

In the first while loop:

n+1 tests

n tests

n-1 increments

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

T (n)= 1+1+1+1+1+n+1+2n+n+n-1 = 5n+5 = O(n)

4. int sum (int n)

{

int partial_sum = 0;

for (int i = 1; i <= n; i++)

partial_sum = partial_sum +(i * i * i);

return partial_sum;

}


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

1 for the assignment.


n loops of 4 units for an assignment, an addition, and two multiplications.


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

T (n)= 1+(1+n+1+n)+4n+1 = 6n+4 = O(n)

Formal Approach to Analysis

In the above examples we have seen that analysis so complex. However, it can be simplified by using

some formal approach in which case we can ignore initializations, loop control, and book keeping.

For Loops: Formally

In general, a for loop translates to a summation. The index and bounds of the summation are the same

as the index and bounds of the for loop.

Suppose we count the number of additions that are done. There is 1 addition per iteration of the loop,

hence N additions in total.



Nested Loops: Formally

Nested for loops translate into multiple summations, one for each for loop.

Again, count the number of additions. The outer summation is for the outer for loop.

Consecutive Statements: Formally

Add the running times of the separate blocks of your code

Conditionals: Formally

If (test) s1 else s2: Compute the maximum of the running time for s1 and s2.

2. Explain how pointer are used to implement linked list structure.

A linked list is a data structure that is built from structures and pointers. It forms a chain of "nodes" with

pointers representing the links of the chain and holding the entire thing together. A l inked list can be

represented by a diagram like this one:

This linked list has four nodes in it, each with a link to the next node in the series. The last node has a

link to the special value NULL, which any pointer (whatever its type) can point to, to show that it is the

last link in the chain. There is also another special pointer, called Start (also called head), which points to

the first link in the chain so that we can keep track of it.

Defining the data structure for a linked list

The key part of a linked list is a structure, which holds the data for each node (the name, address, age or

whatever for the items in the list), and, most importantly, a pointer to the next node. Here we have

given the structure of a typical node:

struct node

{ char name[20]; // Name of up to 20 letters

int age

float height; // In metres

node *nxt;// Pointer to next node

};

struct node *start_ptr = NULL;

The important part of the structure is the line before the closing curly brackets. This gives a pointer to

the next node in the list. This is the only case in C++ where you are allowed to refer to a data type (in



this case node) before you have even finished defining it!

We have also declared a pointer called start_ptr that will permanently point to the start of the list. To

start with, there are no nodes in the list, which is why start_ptr is set to NULL.

3. Explain various operation performed on the doubly l inked list.

Doubly Linked Lists

That sounds even harder than a linked list! Well, if you've mastered how to do singly linked lists, then it

shouldn't be much of a leap to doubly linked lists

A doubly linked list is one where there are links from each node in both directions:

You will notice that each node in the list has two pointers, one to the next node and one to the previous

one - again, the ends of the list are defined by NULL pointers. Also there is no pointer to the start of the

list. Instead, there is simply a pointer to some position in the list that can be moved left or right.

The reason we needed a start pointer in the ordinary linked list is because, having moved on from one

node to another, we can't easily move back, so without the start pointer, we would lose track of all the

nodes in the list that we have already passed. With the doubly linked list, we can move the current

pointer backwards and forwards at will.

Creating Doubly Linked Lists

The nodes for a doubly linked list would be defined as follows:

struct node{

char name[20];

node *nxt; // Pointer to next node

node *prv; // Pointer to previous node

};

node *current;

current = new node;

current->name = "Fred";

current->nxt = NULL;

current->prv = NULL;

We have also included some code to declare the first node and set its pointers to NULL. It gives the

following situation:

We still need to consider the directions 'forward' and 'backward', so in this case, we will need to define

functions to add a node to the start of the list (left-most position) and the end of the list (right-most

position).

Adding a Node to a Doubly Linked List



void add_node_at_start (string new_name)

{ // Declare a temporary pointer and move it to the start

node *temp = current;

while (temp->prv != NULL)

temp = temp->prv;

// Declare a new node and link it innode *temp2;

temp2 = new node;

temp2->name = new_name; // Store the new name in the node

temp2->prv = NULL; // This is the new start of the list

temp2->nxt = temp; // Links to current list

temp->prv = temp2;

}

void add_node_at_end ()

{ // Declare a temporary pointer and move it to the end

node *temp = current;

while (temp->nxt != NULL)

temp = temp->nxt;

// Declare a new node and link it in

node *temp2;

temp2 = new node;

temp2->name = new_name; // Store the new name in the node

temp2->nxt = NULL; // This is the new start of the list

temp2->prv = temp; // Links to current list

temp->nxt = temp2;

}

Here, the new name is passed to the appropriate function as a parameter. We'll go through the function

for adding a node to the right-most end of the list. The method is similar for adding a node at the other

end. Firstly, a temporary pointer is set up and is made to march along the list until it points to last node

in the list.

After that, a new node is declared, and the name is copied into it. The nxt pointer of this new node is set

to NULL to indicate that this node will be the new end of the list.

The prv pointer of the new node is linked into the last node of the existing list.

The nxt pointer of the current end of the list is set to the new node.

4. Give linked list implementation of stack operation.

Linked List Implementation of Stacks: the PUSH operation



Its very similar to the insertion operation in a dynamic singly linked list. The only difference is that here

you'll add the new element only at the end of the list, which means addition can happen only from the

TOP. Since a dynamic list is used for the stack, the Stack is also dynamic, means it has no prior upper

limit set. So, we don't have to check for the Overflow condition at all!

In Step [1] we create the new element to be pushed to the Stack.

In Step [2] the TOP most element is made to point to our newly created element.

In Step [3] the TOP is moved and made to point to the last element in the stack, which is our newly

added element.

Linked List Implementation of Stacks: the POP Operation

This is again very similar to the deletion operation in any Linked List, but you can only delete from the

end of the list and only one at a time; and that makes it a stack. Here, we'll have a list pointer, "target",

which will be pointing to the last but one element in the List (stack). Every time we POP, the TOP most

element will be deleted and "target" will be made as the TOP most element.

In step[1] we got the "target" pointing to the last but one node.

In step[2] we freed the TOP most element.

In step[3] we made the "target" node as our TOP most element.

Supposing you have only one element left in the Stack, then we won't make use of "target" rather we'll

take help of our "bottom" pointer. See how...

Algorithm:

Step-1: If the Stack is empty then give an alert message "Stack Underflow" and quit; or else proceed

Step-2: If there is only one element left go to step-3 or else step-4

Step-3: Free that element and make the "stack", "top" and "bottom" pointers point to NULL and quit

Step-4: Make "target" point to just one element before the TOP; free the TOP most element; make

"target" as your TOP most element

Implementation:

struct node

{

int nodeval;

struct node *next;

}

struct node *stack = NULL; /*stack is initially empty*/

struct node *top = stack;

main()

{

int newvalue, delval;



..

push(newvalue);

..

delval = pop(); /*POP returns the deleted value from the stack*/

}

int pop( ){

int pop_val = 0;

struct node *target = stack;

if(stack == NULL) /*step-1*/

cout<<"Stack Underflow";

else

{

if(top == bottom) /*step-2*/

{

pop_val = top -> nodeval; /*step-3*/

delete top;

stack = NULL;

top = bottom = stack;

}

else /*step-4*/

{

while(target->next != top) target = target ->next;

pop_val = top->nodeval;

delete top;

top = target;

target ->next = NULL;

}

}

return(pop_val);

}

5. What is a stack? Explain any two operations performed on a stack with required algorithm.

Stacks

A simple data structure in which insertion and deletion occur at the same end, is termed (called) a stack.

It is a LIFO (Last In First Out) structure.

The operations of insertion and deletion are called PUSH and POP

Push - push (put) item onto stack

Pop - pop (get) item from stack

Initial Stack Push(8) Pop

Our Purpose:

To develop a stack implementation that does not tie us to a particular data type or to a particular

implementation.

Implementation:

Stacks can be implemented both as an array (contiguous list) and as a linked list. We want a set of



operations that will work with either type of implementation: i.e. the method of implementation is

hidden and can be changed without affecting the programs that use them.

The Basic Operations:

Push()

{

if there is room {

put an item on the top of the stack

else

give an error message

}

}

Pop()

{

if stack not empty {

return the value of the top item

remove the top item from the stack

}

else {

give an error message

}

}

CreateStack()

{

remove existing items from the stack

initialise the stack to empty

}

Array Implementation of Stacks: The PUSH operation

Here, as you might have noticed, addition of an element is known as the PUSH operation. So, if an array

is given to you, which is supposed to act as a STACK, you know that it has to be a STATIC Stack; meaning,

data will overflow if you cross the upper limit of the array. So, keep this in mind.

Algorithm:

Step-1: Increment the Stack TOP by 1. Check whether it is always less than the Upper Limit of the stack.

If it is less than the Upper Limit go to step-2 else report -"Stack Overflow"

Step-2: Put the new element at the position pointed by the TOP

Implementation:

static int stack[UPPERLIMIT];



int top= -1; /*stack is empty*/

..

..

main()

{

..

..

push(item);

..

..

}

push(int item)

{

top = top + 1;

if(top < UPPERLIMIT)

stack[top] = item; /*step-1 & 2*/

else

cout<<"Stack Overflow";

}

Note:- In array implementation,we have taken TOP = -1 to signify the empty stack, as this simplifies the

implementation.

Array Implementation of Stacks: the POP operation

POP is the synonym for delete when it comes to Stack. So, if you're taking an array as the stack,

remember that you'll return an error message, "Stack underflow", if an attempt is made to Pop an item

from an empty Stack. OK.

Algorithm

Step-1: If the Stack is empty then give the alert "Stack underflow" and quit; or else go to step-2

Step-2: a) Hold the value for the element pointed by the TOP

b) Put a NULL value instead

c) Decrement the TOP by 1

Implementation:

static int stack[UPPPERLIMIT];

int top=-1;

..

..

main()

{

..

..

poped_val = pop();

..

..



}

int pop()

{

int del_val = 0;

if(top == -1)

cout<<"Stack underflow"; /*step-1*/else

{

del_val = stack[top]; /*step-2*/

stack[top] = NULL;

top = top -1;

}

return(del_val);

}

Note: - Step-2:(b) signifies that the respective element has been deleted.

Algorithm

Step-1: If the Stack is empty go to step-2 or else go to step-3

Step-2: Create the new element and make your "stack" and "top" pointers point to it and quit.

Step-3: Create the new element and make the last (top most) element of the stack to point to it

Step-4: Make that new element your TOP most element by making the "top" pointer point to it.

Implementation:

struct node{

int item;

struct node *next;

}

struct node *stack = NULL; /*stack is initially empty*/

struct node *top = stack;

main()

{

..

..

push(item);

..

}

push(int item)

{

if(stack == NULL) /*step-1*/

{

newnode = new node /*step-2*/

newnode -> item = item;

newnode -> next = NULL;



stack = newnode;

top = stack;

}

else

{

newnode = new node; /*step-3*/newnode -> item = item;

newnode -> next = NULL;

top ->next = newnode;

top = newnode; /*step-4*/

}

}

6. State and explain the priority queue with example.

Priority Queue

- is a queue where each data has an associated key that is provided at the time of insertion.

- Dequeue operation deletes data having highest priority in the list

- One of the previously used dequeue or enqueue operations has to be modified

Example: Consider the following queue of persons where females have higher priority than males

(gender is the key to give priority).

Dequeue()- deletes Aster

Dequeue()- deletes Meron

Now the queue has data having equal priority and dequeue operation deletes the front element like in

the case of ordinary queues.

Dequeue()- deletes Abebe

Dequeue()- deletes Alemu



Thus, in the above example the implementation of the dequeue operation need to be modified.

7. What are the various method involved to solve hashing function?

8. Explain, with example the basic heap operations and write the algorithms for the same.

Heap Sort

Heap sort operates by first converting the list in to a heap tree. Heap tree is a binary tree in which each

node has a value greater than both its children (if any). It uses a process called "adjust to accomplish its

task (building a heap tree) whenever a value is larger than its parent. The time complexity of heap sort is

O(nlogn).

Algorithm:

1. Construct a binary tree

The root node corresponds to Data[0].

If we consider the index associated with a particular node to be i, then the left child of this node

corresponds to the element with index 2*i+1 and the right child corresponds to the element with index

2*i+2. If any or both of these elements do not exist in the array, then the corresponding child node does

not exist either.

2. Construct the heap tree from initial binary tree using "adjust" process.

3. Sort by swapping the root value with the lowest, right most value and deleting the lowest, right most

value and inserting the deleted value in the array in it proper position.

Example: Sort the following list using heap sort algorithm.

5 8 2 4 1 3 9 7 6 0

<a;

<div(a,b);

<a<<\n<<b;

<a<<\n<<b;

<front.<n;i++)

<n){

<n)

Swap the root node with the lowest, right most node and delete the lowest, right most value; insert the

deleted value in the array in its proper position; adjust the heap tree; and repeat this process until the

tree is empty.

*********

1. What is meant by sorting?

Ordering the data in an increasing or decreasing fashion according to some relationship among the data

item is called sorting.

2. What are the two main classifications of sorting based on the source of data?

a. Internal sorting

b. External sorting

3. What is meant by external sorting?

External sorting is a process of sorting in which large blocks of data stored in storage Devices are moved

to the main memory and then sorted.



4. What is meant by internal sorting?

Internal sorting is a process of sorting the data in the main memory.

5. What are the various factors to be considered in deciding a sorting algorithm?

a. Programming time

b. Execution time of the program

c. Memory needed for program environment

6. What is the main idea in Bubble sort?

The basic idea underlying the bubble sort is to pass through the file sequentially

Several times. Each pass consists of comparing each element in the file with its

successor (x[i] and x[i+1] and interchanging the two elements if they are not in proper

order.

7. What is the basic idea of shell sort?

Instead of sorting the entire array at once, it is first divide the array into smaller

segments, which are then separately sorted using the insertion sort.

8. What is the purpose of quick sort?

The purpose of the quick sort is to move a data item in the correct direction, just

enough for to reach its final place in the array.

9. What is the advantage of quick sort?

Quick sort reduces unnecessary swaps and moves an item to a greater distance, in one move.

10. What is the average efficiency of heap sort?

The average efficiency of heap sort is 0 (n(log2 n)) where, n is the number of

elements sorted.

11. Define Algorithm.

An algorithm is clearly specified set of simple instructions to be followed to

solve a problem. The algorithm forms a base for program.

Time Complexity

13. What is performance analysis of an algorithm?

The analysis of the performance of an algorithm based on specification is called

performance analysis. It is loosely divided into

a. Priori estimates

Divide and Conquer algorithm is based on dividing the problem to be solvedinto several, smaller sub instances, solving them independently and then combining

the sub instances solutions so as to yield a solution for the original instance.

19. What is dynamic programming?

Dynamic programming algorithm is a general class of algorithms which solve

problems by solving smaller versions of the problem, saving the solutions to the

small problems and then combining them to solve the larger problems.

20. Define Greedy method.

The greedy method suggests that one can devise an algorithm that works in stages, considering one
