Inline Function

Inline functions allow the compiler to copy the code of the function into the calling function rather than passing control to a separate function. This avoids the overhead of passing control and can increase execution speed but uses more memory. Inline functions work best for small functions without control structures, recursion, or static variables. C++ also allows non-member functions to access private members of a class by declaring them as "friend functions" of the class.

Inline Function

Inline Function
 Functions are used to avoid code duplication. At
each call (to a function), control is passed to the
function at a specified address in the memory.
 If the same function is called several times, each
time the control is passed to the function. Due
to this passing of control, execution speed
decreases.
 C++ provides a mechanism called ‘Inline
Function’.
Continued…
 Compiler copies the code of inline function in the
calling function, i.e. Function body is inserted in
place of function call during compilation. So
transfer of control is avoided.
 Inline function are mostly used when the function
is small.
 Execution performance is increased but inline
function needs more memory.
Example
inline int square(int j)
{
return (j*j);
}

void main()
{
clrscr();
int p=3,r;
r=square(p);
cout<<“r= ”<<r;
getch();
}
Situation where inline Function may not work

 The function should not be recursive.


 Function should not contain static variables.
 Function containing control structure statements,
such as switch, if, for loop etc.
 The main() function can not work as inline.
Friend Function
Friend Function
 The central idea of encapsulation and data
hiding is that any non-member function has no
access permission to the private data of the
class.
 However, C++ allows a mechanism, in which a
non-member function has access permission to
the private member of the class. This can be
done by declaring a non-member function friend
to the class whose private data is to be
accessed.
Continued…
 Declaration is done in public or private section.
 A function can be declared as friend function in
any number of calsses.
 These functions use objects as arguments.
Example
class ac { void show(ac a)
int acno; {
float bal; cout<<“Balance of A/C No.”<<a.acno
Public: <<“is Rs. ”<<a.bal;
Void read() }
{
cout<<“ Account No: “; cin>>acno; void main()
cout<<“\n Balance : “; cin>>bal; { clrscr();
} ac k;
Friend void show(ac); k.read();
}; show(k);
getch();
}
Assignment
 Write a program to exchange values b/w two
classes. Use friend function.
 Write a program to declare three classes,
declare integer array as data member in each
class. Perform addition of two data member
arrays into array of third class. Use Friend
function.
