We will cover class construction, operator overloading, virtual functions, templates, and introduce the student to the IO streams. Inheritance and its use in creating extendible libraries will be ...

I will also discuss how to create the C++ Class construct, which lays the groundwork for developing our foundation classes. In Part 2 next month, I will discuss how to create Application Window ...

Becoming popular in the early 1990s and the norm today, object-oriented programming (OOP) languages, such as C++ and Java, provide a formal set of rules for creating and managing objects.

In class-based object-oriented programming, a supertype is a class that another class descends from. In OOP-speak, we say the subclass inherits from the superclass. We also say that one class ...

C++’s origins date back to 1979, when Bjarne Stroustrup, the programming language’s creator, first began work on the language that was then known as “C with Classes”.

One of the most critical aspects of object-oriented programming is encapsulation, which allows one to define labels for the data members and member functions, to specify if they are accessible from ...

From a purely object-oriented perspective, "copy semantics" is the right way to preserve control over object ownership. But in those scenarios where ownership becomes irrelevant, C++11 "move semantics ...

C++ is a general-purpose systems programming language that is now more than 40 years old, having been designed in 1979. Far from losing steam, C++ still ranks near the top of multiple programming ...
