What is ;olymorphism
';olymorphism' is an ob<ect oriented term( ;olymorphism may be defined as the ability of related ob<ects to
respond to the same message with different, but appropriate actions( In other words, polymorphism means
taking more than one form( ;olymorphism leads to two important aspects in =b<ect =riented terminology
/unction =verloading and /unction =verriding( =verloading is the practice of supplying more than one
definition for a given function name in the same scope( 2he compiler is left to pick the appropriate version of
the function or operator based on the arguments with which it is called( =verriding refers to the modifications
made in the sub class to the inherited methods from the base class to change their behaviour(
What is =perator overloading
When an operator is overloaded, it takes on an additional meaning relative to a certain class( >ut it can still
retain all of its old meanings(
-xamples&
?) 2he operators @@ and AA may be used for IB= operations because in the header, they are overloaded(
:) In a stack class it is possible to overload the , operattor so that it appends the contents of one stack to the
contents of another( >ut the , operator still retains its original meaning relative to other types of data(
What are 2emplates
C,, 2emplates allow u to generate families of functions or classes that can operate on a variety of different
data types, freeing you from the need to create a separate function or class for each type( Csing templates, u
have the convenience of writing a single generic function or class definition, which the compiler automatically
translates into a specific version of the function or class, for each of the different data types that your program
actually uses( 5any data structures and algorithms can be defined independently of the type of data they work
with( Dou can increase the amount of shared code by separating datadependent portions from data
independent portions, and templates were introduced to help you do that(
What is the difference between run time binding and compile time binding?
+ynamic >inding &
2he address of the functions are determined at runtime rather than E compile time( 2his is also known as
%3ate >inding%(
0tatic >inding &

%-arly >inding%
What is +ifference >etween CBC,,
C does not have a classBob<ect concept(
C,, provides data abstraction, data encapsulation, Inheritance and ;olymorphism(
C,, supports all C syntax(
In C passing value to a function is %Call by .alue% whereas in C,, its %Call by 4eference%
/ile extention is (c in C while (cpp in C,,($C,, compiler compiles the files with (c extention but C compiler can
notF)
In C structures can not have contain functions declarations( In C,, structures are like classes, so declaring
functions is legal and allowed(
C,, can have inlineBvirtual functions for the classes(
c,, is C with Classes hence C,, while in c the closest u can get to an Cser defined data type is struct and
union
What will be the output of the following code?
void main $)
G int i H I , aJKL M
a = i++;
printf ("%d",a) ;
}
The output for the above code would be a garbage value. In the tate!ent a = i++; the value of the variable i
would get aigned firt to a i.e. a"#$ and then the value of i would get incre!ented b% &. 'ince a i.e. a"&$ ha
not been initiali(ed, a will have a garbage value.
)h% doen*t the following code give the deired reult+
int , = -###, % = .### ;
long int ( = , / % ;
0ere the !ultiplication i carried out between two int , and %, and the reult that would overflow would be
truncated before being aigned to the variable ( of t%pe long int. 0owever, to get the correct output, we hould
ue an e,plicit cat to force long arith!etic a hown below1
long int ( = ( long int ) , / % ;
2ote that ( long int )( , / % ) would not give the deired effect.
