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 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...
