Write a program to demonstrate writing an object to a data file and reading it back.

 Here is a program that demonstrates writing an object to a data file and reading it back:

#include <iostream>
#include <fstream>
using namespace std;
class Student {
    private:
        string name;
        int roll;
    public:
        void setName(string n) {
            name = n;
        }
        void setRoll(int r) {
            roll = r;
        }
        void display() {
            cout << "Name: " << name << endl;
            cout << "Roll: " << roll << endl;
        }
};
int main() {
    Student s1;
    s1.setName("John");
    s1.setRoll(101);

    // Writing object to data file
    ofstream outFile("student.dat", ios::binary);
    outFile.write(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&s1), sizeof(Student));
    outFile.close();

    // Reading object from data file
    ifstream inFile("student.dat", ios::binary);
    Student s2;
    inFile.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(&s2), sizeof(Student));
    s2.display();
    inFile.close();
    return 0;
}

In this program, we have defined a Student class with two data members name and roll. We have also defined setter functions setName() and setRoll() to set the values of these data members, and a display() function to display the values.

In the main() function, we create an object s1 of the Student class and set its name and roll using the setter functions.

We then create an output file stream object outFile and open a binary file named "student.dat". We use the write() function to write the object s1 to the file. We need to cast the address of the object to a char* type using reinterpret_cast.

Next, we create an input file stream object inFile and open the same binary file. We create an object s2 of the Student class to read the object from the file. We use the read() function to read the object from the file. Again, we need to cast the address of the object to a char* type using reinterpret_cast.

Finally, we call the display() function of the s2 object to display the values read from the file.

Output:

Name: John
Roll: 101

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 are Stub and Skeleton in Distributed Application? Explain its function with block diagram.

 Stub and Skeleton are two important components of distributed applications. A distributed application is a software system that runs on multiple computers connected through a network. It allows users to access resources and services on different computers as if they were on a local computer. In a distributed application, a client program on one computer sends a request to a server program on another computer. The server program processes the request and sends a response back to the client program. Stub and Skeleton help to facilitate this communication between the client and server programs. A Stub is a client-side proxy that represents the remote object on the client machine. It acts as a gateway for the client to communicate with the server. When a client invokes a method on the Stub, it marshals the arguments and sends them to the server over the network. The Stub then waits for the server to send a response. When the response is received, the Stub unmarshals the data and retur...

Write short notes on 1. polymorphism 2. applet vs Application 3. Marshalling and unmarshalling

 1. Polymorphism: Polymorphism is a concept in object-oriented programming (OOP) that refers to the ability of an object to take on multiple forms. In Java, polymorphism can be achieved through method overloading and method overriding. Method overloading means that multiple methods can have the same name but different parameters. Method overriding means that a subclass can provide a different implementation of a method that is already defined in its superclass. Polymorphism allows for more flexible and modular code design, as objects can be treated as their superclass type, allowing for easier code reuse and maintenance. 2. Applet vs Application: An applet is a small program that runs within a web browser. It is written in Java and can be embedded into a web page using HTML. Applets are designed to be run on any computer with a Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed, making them platform-independent. In contrast, an application is a standalone program that runs on a computer's operat...
