Notes 2 - C++ OOP review

Classes

class ClassName {
  private:
    int memberVar;
  public:
    ClassName();         // default constr.
    ClassName(int);      // constr. w/ arg
    ~ClassName();        // destructor
   
    int getMemberVar();   // accessor func.
    bool setMemberVar(const int);  // mutator func.
    void inputData();// driver func.
    void displayData() const;// driver func.
};
...
ClassName obj1;
ClassName obj2(987);
ClassName* obj3 = new ClassName();
delete obj3;

Dynamic Member Variables

class ClassName {
  private:
    dataType*  dynMemberVar;
    unsigned int capacity; // capacity for dynMemberVar
    unsigned int count;    // current count of elements within dynMemberVar
  ...
};

• Default Constructor()
• Copy (Constructor)
• ~Destructor()
• Memberwise Assignment =
• Overloading the assignment operator
• Overloading comparison and arithmetic operators
• *this
• Segmentation Fault: Undefined Behaviour
• Memory Leak: unfreed memory, loss of reference
• Dangling Pointer: accessing memory that has already been freed
