what are the roles of constructor and destructor? write a program to demonstrate parameterized and copy constructor.

 Constructors and destructors are special member functions in C++ classes that have specific roles:

  1. Constructors: To initialize objects of a class when they are created. They ensure that objects are properly initialized with default or user-defined values, so that they are ready for use.
  2. Destructors: To deallocate memory and release resources when an object of a class is destroyed. They ensure that objects are properly cleaned up and memory is freed, to prevent memory leaks and other related issues.

Here is an example program that demonstrates a parameterized constructor and a copy constructor:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>

using namespace std;

class MyClass {
private:
    int value;
    string name;

public:
    // parameterized constructor
    MyClass(int v, string n) {
        value = v;
        name = n;
        cout << "Parameterized constructor called for " << name << endl;
    }

    // copy constructor
    MyClass(const MyClass& obj) {
        value = obj.value;
        name = obj.name + " (copy)";
        cout << "Copy constructor called for " << name << endl;
    }

    ~MyClass() {
        cout << "Destructor called for " << name << endl;
    }

    void display() {
        cout << "Name: " << name << endl;
        cout << "Value: " << value << endl;
    }
};

int main() {
    // create an object using parameterized constructor
    MyClass obj1(10, "Object 1");
    obj1.display();

    // create a copy of the object using copy constructor
    MyClass obj2 = obj1;
    obj2.display();

    return 0;
}

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...
