Introduction to CPP (C++)

Some of these features are mentioned below which will be discussed in detail in further part of the course –

• Classes and Objects: Class is a user defined data type that represents collection of various data types and functions. Whereas object is the instance of a class. To know more:
• Inheritance: Inheritance is a process in which one object acquires all the properties and behaviour of it’s parent object automatically . To know more: Inheritance in C++
• Encapsulation: It is wrapping data and functions inside as a single form and keep them safe from outside world and achieve data hiding from and make the code more secure from unauthorized access. To know more: Encapsulation in C++
• Abstraction: The functionality of hiding the actual details or implementation details for a procedure and just displaying limited essential information or tools, or in other words providing only essential information to the outside world and hiding all the background details and implementation of the procedure is known as Data Abstraction. To know more: Data Abstraction in C++
• Overloading: Function overloading is the process in which we use the same name for two or more functions defined in the class. To know more: Function Overloading in C++
• Polymorphism:Polymorphism in C++ basically means having multiple existent forms in the program, A simple code may behave differently in different situations. To know more: Polymorphism in C++

The following four are considered to be building the block of an object-oriented language like C++ – Encapsulation, Data hiding, Inheritance, Polymorphism.

Further in this course we talk about the history of C++, difference between C++ and its superset C.

“a light-weight abstraction programming language [designed] for building and using efficient and elegant abstractions“; and “offering both hardware access and abstraction is the basis of C++. – “Bjarne Stroustrup”
