Mention features of this pointer. Write a program to demonstrate use of constructor in derived class.

 The this pointer is a pointer that points to the object itself. It is an implicit pointer available in all member functions of a class. Some of the features of the this pointer are:

  1. It can be used to refer to the calling object inside a member function.
  2. It can be used to return the calling object from a member function.
  3. It can be used to pass the calling object as an argument to another function.

Here's an example program that demonstrates the use of constructor in a derived class:

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
class Base {
    int x;
public:
    Base(int i) {
        x = i;
        cout << "Base constructor called" << endl;
    }
    void display() {
        cout << "x = " << x << endl;
    }
};
class Derived : public Base {
    int y;
public:
    Derived(int i, int j) : Base(i) {
        y = j;
        cout << "Derived constructor called" << endl;
    }
    void display() {
        Base::display();
        cout << "y = " << y << endl;
    }
};
int main() {
    Derived obj(10, 20);
    obj.display();
    return 0;
}

In this program, there are two classes Base and Derived. Derived is derived from Base. The Base class has a constructor that takes an integer as an argument and initializes its private member x. The Derived class also has a constructor that takes two integers as arguments. It calls the Base class constructor explicitly in its initializer list to initialize the x member. It then initializes its private member y. The Derived class also has a display function that overrides the display function of the Base class. It calls the display function of the Base class using the scope resolution operator and then displays the value of y.

In the main function, an object of Derived class is created and its display function is called. The output of the program is:

Base constructor called
Derived constructor called
x = 10
y = 20

This program demonstrates how constructors can be used in a derived class to initialize the base class and derived class members.

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...
