What are major and essential feature that make program object oriented. If a base and derived class each include a member function with same name, which member function will be called by an object of a derived class and why? Explain with example.

 The major and essential features that make a program object-oriented are:

  1. Encapsulation: The ability to hide the implementation details of a class from outside users and provide a well-defined interface for interaction with the class.
  2. Inheritance: The ability to create new classes that are derived from existing classes and inherit their properties and behavior.
  3. Polymorphism: The ability to define different behaviors for the same function or method depending on the context in which it is called.
  4. Abstraction: The ability to define and use abstract data types that can be manipulated without knowing their underlying implementation details.
Now, if a base and derived class each include a member function with the same name, the member function of the derived class will be called by an object of a derived class. this is because the derived class overrides the member function of the base class with its own implementation. 

Here's an example to illustrate this:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class Shape {
    public:
        virtual void draw() {
            cout << "Drawing a shape" << endl;
        }
};

class Rectangle : public Shape {
    public:
        void draw() {
            cout << "Drawing a rectangle" << endl;
        }
};

int main() {
    Shape* s = new Rectangle();
    s->draw();
    delete s;
    return 0;
}

In this example, we define a base class "Shape" with a virtual member function 'draw()', which prints a message indicating that a shape is being drawn. We then define a derived class 'Rectangle' that overrides the 'draw()' function to print a message indicating that a rectangle is being drawn.

In the 'main()' function, we create a pointer 's' of the 'Shape*' and assign it to a new "Rectangle" object. We then call the 'draw()' function on the pointer 's'. Since 's' is a pointer to a 'Shape' object, but it points to a 'Rectangle' object, the 'draw()' function of the 'Rectangle' class is called. This is because the 'Rectangle' class overrides the 'draw()' function of the 'Shape' class with its own implementation,

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...
