DESCRIPTION
Warm-Up Problem. Just like with primitive data types (int, double, etc.), we can create arrays of objects. ex: bankAccount employees[100]; Problem: It’s payday. Put $500 in each employee’s account. for(int i = 0; i < 99; i++) { employees[i].deposit(500); } - PowerPoint PPT PresentationTRANSCRIPT

Warm-Up ProblemWarm-Up Problem Just like with primitive data types (int,
double, etc.), we can create arrays of objects.
ex: bankAccount employees[100];Problem: It’s payday. Put $500 in each
employee’s account.for(int i = 0; i < 99; i++){ employees[i].deposit(500);}
(i < 99 should be i <= 99 or i < 100, but I'm leaving that be as a place for an alertness point in the review of this problem in future lectures. )

Review of StringsReview of Strings Last time, we finished with a problem:
string returnedExpression(string inputString) // PRE: inputString is a line of valid C++ code
// (<=80 chars) containing the "return"// keyword and ending with a semicolon
// POST: FCTVAL == the expression that follows // the return keyword, not including the// semicolon
Recall the string member functions: stringObject.length() stringObject.find(string) stringObject.substr(startLocation, length)
How do we use these functions to construct a solution?

SolutionSolution string returnedExpression(string inputString)
// PRE: inputString is a line of valid C++ code (<=80 chars) containing // the "return" keyword and ending with a semicolon
// POST: FCTVAL == the expression that follows the return keyword, // not including the semicolon
First, find where "return" is located int returnLoc = inputString.find("return");
Next, find how long the string is int exprLength = inputString.length();
Find how long the expression is: exprLength -= 1; // don’t want semicolon exprLength -= returnLoc; // or stuff before "return" exprLength -= 7; // or "return "

SolutionSolution string returnedExpression(string inputString)
// PRE: inputString is a line of valid C++ code (<=80 chars) containing // the "return" keyword and ending with a semicolon
// POST: FCTVAL == the expression that follows the return keyword, // not including the semicolon
Finally, construct and return the expression as a substring:return inputString.substr(returnLoc+7, exprLength);

Your ideas?member data?member functions?
We’ll work with this set of member data:string author;string title;int year; string isbn;

A Preview of A Preview of ImplementationImplementation
Implementation of class member functions is similar to implementing nonmember functionsFunction headers vs. function prototypes
The main difference: Member functions need to know what
class they belong to (their scope)Scope resolution operator (::)
10
Scope ResolutionScope Resolution
The class name and the scope resolution operator (::) go directly before the function namee.g. void bankAccount::withdraw(int amount)
NOT bankAccount::void withdraw(int amount)
11
Implementation ExampleImplementation Example
Implementation of the bankAccount constructor:
bankAccount::bankAccount()// POST: default bankAccount object constructed with // name == “?” and balance == 0{ name = "?"; balance = 0;}
private member data
scope resolution
namebalance
default_acct
0
“?”
12
More Implementation More Implementation ExamplesExamples
void bankAccount::deposit(int amount)// PRE: amount in dollars and amount > $0// POST: amount has been added on to balance{ balance = balance + amount;}
Problem: Implement withdraw. void bankAccount::withdraw(int amount)
// PRE: amount in dollars and amount > $0// POST: amount has been subtracted from balance{ balance = balance - amount;}
13
Class InterfaceClass Interface Defines the WHAT, not the HOW
General form: class className{ public: // member function declarations
private: // member data declarations};
14
Three Types of FunctionsThree Types of FunctionsClass member functions are
classified into three categories:constructors
create objects (allocate memory, set initial state)
modifierschange the state of objects
accessorsmake information about the state of the
object available outside the class
15
ExerciseExerciseClassify the functions of bankAccountconstructors

Continuing Bank Account…Continuing Bank Account…
Work with a partner to think of one more constructor, modifier, and accessor that would be good additions to the bankAccount class.
Your ideas??
17
Onward…Onward…
Now we'll look at each of the three kinds of member functions in more detail.
18
ConstructorsConstructorsGoal:
construct objects of the classallocate memory
Four important observations…namereturn typeoverloadingcalling
19
1. Constructors: Names1. Constructors: Names Constructors MUST have the same name
as the class itself. That's how you'll make instances of the
class (objects). Example:
bankAccount class constructor: bankAccount();
rectangle class constructor: rectangle();
20
2. Constructors – Return 2. Constructors – Return TypeType
They don't have a return type. It's simply omitted.
Ex: bankAccount(); NOT voidNOT double, int, etc.
21
3. Constructors - 3. Constructors - OverloadingOverloading
Constructors can be overloadedCan have several constructors
same namedifferent lists of parameters
This ability allows you to create a default constructor
no parametersinitializer constructors
parameters specifying initial state of an object
22
3. Constructors - 3. Constructors - OverloadingOverloading
Example default constructor: bankAccount();
// POST: A default bankAccount object is // created with name set to a blank and // and balance set to $0.00
Example initializer constructors: bankAccount(string initName, double initBalance); // PRE: initName has been assigned a value // && initBalance >= 0.00 and initBalance is in // dollars // POST: A bankAccount object is created with // name set to initName// and balance set to initBalance
bankAccount(string initName); bankAccount(double initBalance);
23
4. Constructors – Calling 4. Constructors – Calling (Client)(Client)
Not called directly, i.e. no dot notation
Default constructor call:bankAccount myAcct; no parentheses
Initializer constructor call:bankAccount myAcct("Homer", 100);
24
ProblemProblemGiven the libraryBook class…
string author;string title;int year; string isbn;
Define a default constructor.Define two initializer constructors.
25
ProblemProblemDefine a default constructor.
libraryBook();Define two initializer constructors.
libraryBook(string initTitle, string initAuthor, string initISBN, int initYear);
libraryBook(string initTitle);
26
Another exercise…Another exercise… Given the constructors we defined
libraryBook(); libraryBook(string initTitle, string initAuthor, string initISBN, int initYear);
libraryBook(string initTitle);
Construct a default libraryBook object. libraryBook book1;
Construct a libraryBook object with the initial title Algorithms Unlocked. libraryBook book2("Algorithms Unlocked");
27
ModifiersModifiersThe functions that do most of the work.
Note: Objects have three characteristics: namestateset of operations
Modifiers define the set of operations.
28
ModifiersModifiers Allow the client to make changes to the
private variables. Declarations look like the ones for
nonmember functions. Often, but not always, they have a void
return type.
“Set” functions or setters Modifiers that just "set" the value of a private
variable from a parameter without doing any calculations
29
Modifiers - ExamplesModifiers - Examples void withdraw(double amount); // PRE: amount >= 0.00 and amount // is in dollars // POST: amount is deducted from // balance
A set function: void resetAccount(string newName, double newBalance); // PRE: newName has been assigned a value // && newBalance >= 0.00 and newBalance is // in dollars // POST: This account object is reset with // name set to newName and balance// set to newBalance
30
AccessorsAccessors Allow the client to see what values the
private variables have. Don't allow the client to make changes. Return type is that of the variable being
"accessed."
"Get" functions or getters Accessors that just "get" the value of a private
variable without doing any calculations
31
AccessorsAccessorsShould be declared const
They don't change the state of any variables.
Forces the issue of not making changesExample:
double getBalance() const; // POST: FCTVAL == current // balance of this account // in dollars
32
More complicated accessorsMore complicated accessors Some calculation based on the data
as long as it doesn’t change the member data e.g. balance after interest w/o actually
crediting it A data member converted to different
units e.g. Fahrenheit version of Celsius temp.
Part of a data member e.g. the cents part of a dollar amount
33
ExerciseExerciseDeclare an accessor for the libraryBook type.string getTitle() const;
Write the function header for the accessor. string libraryBook::getTitle() const
34
Pre- and PostconditionsPre- and PostconditionsA few new things to notePreconditions
What must be true for the method to behave as intended
Anything about the state of the object?Should another method have been called
first?May need to look at private data members
individually
35
Pre- and PostconditionsPre- and PostconditionsPostconditions
What is the state of the object after this method has been called? What is returned or displayed?
What private data members have changed? How?
36
SummarySummary Implementation
Scope resolution operator (::) and class name directly before function name
Remove semicolons Interface & functions
Constructors – create instances, allocate memory same name as class no return type can have multiple with same name not called with dot notation
Modifiers – change state of private variables, define operations
Accessors – allows client to see state of private variables Pre- and postconditions
