Inheritance and Pointers
2.1 : Basic Concept of Inheritance
Q.1 Define the term inheritance. :
Ans.: Inheritance is a property in which data members and member
functions of some class are used by some other class.
2.2 : Base Class and Derived Class
Q.2 Explain the term base class and derived class.
Ans. : + The class from which the data members and member functions
are used by another class is called the base class.
The. class which uses the properties of base class and at the same time
can add its own properties is called derived class.
2.3 : Public and Private Inheritance
Q.3 Wr
rite a C++ program to inherit a base class in public mode.
Ans. :
#include
using namespace std;
class Base
{
int x;
public:
void set_x(int n)
{
n;
(2-1) object Oriented Programming 2-2 IS Bi ses
void show_x( )
cout <<"\n x= "<>x;
cout<<"\n Enter the value of y"
cin>>y;
/fusing obj of derived class ba!
obj.set_x(x);
obj.set_y(y); // access member of derives
obj.show_x(); // access member of base class
obj.show_y(); // access member of derived class

Object Oriented Programming 2-
}
Output
Enter the value of x30
Enter the value of y70
x= 30
y= 70
In above program the obj is an object of derived class. Using obj we are
accessing the member function of base class. The derived class inherits
base class using an access specifier public.
oo Write a C++ program to inherit base class In private mode.
8. :
#include
using namespace std;
class Base
{
int x;
public:
void set_x(int n)
{
x=n;
}
void show x( )
{
cout <<"\nx
}
k
// Inherit as private
class derived : private Base
{
int yi;
public:
void set_y(int n)
"<—rorer
void show_y()
{
cout <<"\n y= "<>x;
cout<<"\n Enter the value of y";
cin>>y;
obj.set_x(x); // error: not accessible
obj.set_y(y); :
obj.show_x(); // access member of base class
obj.show_y(); // error:not accessible
Tetum 0;
}
As indicated by the comments the above program will generate error
messages “not accessible”. This is because the derived class inherits the
base class privately. Hence the public members of base class become
Private to derived class.
4: Protected Members
Q.5 Explain why and when do we use protected instead of private ?
S&P [SPU : Dec.-15, Marks 4]
A Gulde for Engineering Students Object Oriented Programming — 2-5 Inheritance and Pointe,
rs
‘Ans. The protected access specifier is equivalent to the pri,
: le
specifier with the sole exception that protected members of a base clasy
le to members of any class derived from that base, Outs, de
protected members are not accessible,
are accessible
the base or derived classes,
Thus normally protected access specifier is used in the situations when the
immediate derived class members want to access the base class members
but the derived-derived class members are prohibited to access the base
class members.
2.5 : Relationship between Base Class and Derived Class
Q.6 What are the advantages of inheritance by
‘Ans. : One of the key benefits of inheritance is to minimize the amount
of duplicate code in an application by sharing common code amongst
several subclasses.
. Reusability : The base class code can be used by derived class
without any need to rewrite the code.
2. Extensibility : The base class logic can be extended in the derived
classes. :
3. Data hiding : Base class can decide to keep some data private so that
it cannot be altered by the derived class.
” 4. Overriding : With inheritance, we will be able to override the
methods of the base class so that meaningful implementation of the
base class method can be designed in the derived class.
2.6 : Constructor and Destructor in Derived Class
Q,7 Explain the execution process of constructors and destructors
in derived class.
Ans, : ¢ When we create an object for derived class then first of all the
Base class constructor is called and after that the Derived olass
constructor is called.
ee
‘A Guide for Engineering Sudens Oriented Programmi .
Object gr ia, Inheritance and Pointers
«When the main function finishes running, the derived class's destructor
will get called first and after that the Base class destructor will be
called.
« This is also called as chain of constructor calls,
class Base {
public:
Base()
{ cout << "Base constructor" << endl; }
~Base()
{ cout << “Base destructor" << endl; }
i
class Derived:public Base {
public:
Derived()
{cout << “Derived constructor” << endl; }
~Derived ()
{cout << “Derived destructor” <<-endl; }
k
void main()
{
Derived obj;
}
The output of above code will be invoking of base class constructor, then
derived class constructor, then derived class destructor and finally base
2.7 : Overriding Member Functions
Q.8 Explain the function overriding concept with suitable example
Ans. : Definition : Redefining a function in a derived class is called
function overriding.
For example - Consider following C++ program that uses the same
function name i.e. print_msg in base class and derived class. The
destructor.

another class. This allows the friend class to access the private data

2.16 : Memory Management : New and Delete
Q.18 Explain the purpose of new and delete operators with suitable
examples. :
Ans.: The dynamic memory allocation is done using an operator new.
For example : int *p;
p=new int;
We can allocate the memory for more than one élement. For instance if
we want to allocate memory of size in for 5 elements we can declare.
a
p=new int(5];
The memory can be deallocated using the delete operator.
For example : delete p;
C++ Program using new and delete operators
int main () :
{
int in;
int *p;
cout << "How many numbers would you like to type? ";
cin >> i; :
P= new int(i];//dynamic memory allocation
