The existence of functions makes possible a programming technique called recursion. Recursion c++ involves a function calling itself. This sounds rather improbable, and indeed a function calling itself is often a bug. However...

An overloaded functions appears to perform different activities depending on the kind of data sent to it. Overloading is like the joke about the famous scientist who insisted that the thermos bottle was the greatest invention of...
A relational operators compares two values. The values can be any built in C++ data type, such as char, int, and float, or as we’ll see later they can be user defined classes. The comparison involves such relationships as equal...
C++ offers several ways to shorten and clarify your code. One of these is the arithmetic assignment operators. This operator helps to give C++ listings their distinctive appearance. The following kind of statement is common in...
In any language C++ programming basics there are some fundamentals you need to know before you can write even the most elementary programs. This chapter introduces three such fundamentals: basic program construction, variables...
C++ is derived from the C language. Strictly speaking, it is a superset of C: Almost every correct statement in C is also a correct statement in C++, although the reverse is not true. The most important elements added to C to...
Let’s briefly examine a few of the major elements characteristics of object oriented programming languages in general, and C++ in particular. Objects When you approach a programming problem in an characteristics object oriented...
Object oriented programming was developed because limitations were discovered in earlier approaches to programming. To appreciate what object oriented programming does, we need to under stand what these limitations are and how...
What is an array? An array is defined as an ordered set of similar data items. All the data items of an array are stored in consecutive memory locations in RAM. The elements of an array are of same data type and each item can...
What is Virtual Function? Virtual means existing in appearance but not in reality. When virtual functions are used, a program that appears to be calling a function of one may in reality be calling a function of a different...
