1. What is C++?

C++ is an object-oriented programming language which is superset of C

2. What are the advantages of C++?

 C++ is a highly portable language which can run on any platform.

 C++ is an object-oriented programming language which includes the concepts

such as classes, objects, inheritance, polymorphism, abstraction.

 C++ has the concept of inheritance which helps to redundant code and can
reuse the existing classes.

 Data hiding helps the programmer to build secure programs

 Message passing is a technique used for communication between the objects.

 C++ contains a rich function library.

3. What is the difference between C and C++?

5. What is a class?

Class is a blue print which reflects the entities attributes and actions. Technically defining a
class is designing an user defined data type.
1. Understanding of pointers, through sample code.

2. Understanding of run time type identification. Through examples.

3. Understanding of static/ const etc. concepts.

4. STL understanding, selecting between various containers.

5. Function pointers .

6. Calling conventions.

7. OOP concepts.

8. Concepts like copy constructor and assignment operator. These questions bring many
other concepts like shallow/ deep copy, memory allocation, shared resources.
