Define pure virtual function and abstract class. Write a program to demonstrate ambiguity in multiple inheritance.

 A pure virtual function is a virtual function that has no implementation in the base class and is meant to be overridden by the derived class. It is declared by appending "= 0" to the function declaration in the base class. An abstract class is a class that contains at least one pure virtual function and cannot be instantiated, i.e., objects of an abstract class cannot be created.

Ambiguity in multiple inheritance occurs when a derived class inherits from multiple base classes that have member functions with the same name and signature. In such cases, the compiler may not know which version of the member function to use. To resolve this ambiguity, the derived class needs to specify which version of the member function to use by using the scope resolution operator (::).

Here's an example program that demonstrates ambiguity in multiple inheritance:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class A {
public:
    void func() {
        cout << "Class A" << endl;
    }
};
class B {
public:
    void func() {
        cout << "Class B" << endl;
    }
};
class C : public A, public B {
public:
    // This function is required to resolve the ambiguity
    void func() {
        A::func();
    }
};
int main() {
    C obj;
    obj.func(); // Output: Class A
    return 0;
}

In this example, both classes A and B have a member function named "func()". When the class C inherits from both classes A and B, it also inherits both versions of "func()". To resolve the ambiguity, we define a new version of "func()" in class C that calls the version of "func()" from class A.

Write a program using the algorithm count() to count how many elements in a container have a specified value.

 Here's an example program using the count() algorithm to count the number of occurrences of a specific value in a vector container: #include <iostream> #include <vector> #include <algorithm> using namespace std; int main() {     vector<int> numbers = { 2, 5, 3, 7, 8, 5, 1, 5, 4 };          // count the number of occurrences of the value 5 in the vector     int count = count(numbers.begin(), numbers.end(), 5);          cout << "The number of occurrences of 5 in the vector is: " << count << endl;          return 0; } Output: The number of occurrences of 5 in the vector is: 3 Explanation: The program starts by creating a vector named numbers that contains several integer values. The count() algorithm is used to count the number of occurrences of the value 5 in the numbers vector. The function takes three arguments: the beginning and end iterators of...

what is static data member and static member function? how can we overload a function?

what is static data member and static member function? how can we overload a function? A static data member in C++ is a class variable that is shared among all objects of a class and is defined using the 'static' keyword. It has a single instance for the entire class, and its value is shared by all objects of that class. Unlike non-static class members, a static data member can be accessed without creating an instance of the class. A static member function in C++ is a member function of a class that can be called without creating an instance of the class. Like static data members, a static member function operates on the class as a whole rather than on individual objects. A static member function can only access static data members on other static member functions of the same class. To overload a function in C++, you create multiple functions with the same name but different parameter lists. The correct function to call is determined at compile-time based on the number and type...
