Object Oriented Programming 29 10

This document discusses object-oriented programming concepts like passing objects to functions, returning objects from functions, friend functions, and friend classes. It provides examples of passing class objects as arguments to functions, returning a class object from a function, and declaring friend functions and classes to access private members of other classes.

Object-Oriented Programming

(OOP)
Passing Object to Function

 Class Objects can be passed to functions


as arguments
class Complex
{
private:
int real, imag;
public:
Complex(): real(0), imag(0) { }
void Read()
{ cout<<"Enter real and imaginary number respectively:"<<endl;
cin>>real>>imag;
}
void Add(Complex comp1,Complex comp2)
{
real=comp1.real+comp2.real;
imag=comp1.imag+comp2.imag;
} void Display() { cout<<"Sum="<<real<<"+"<<imag<<"i"; }
};
int main()
{
Complex c1,c2,c3;
c1.Read();
c2.Read();
c3.Add(c1,c2);
c3.Display();
return 0;
}
 Returning a class object from function
class Complex
{
private:
int real, imag;
public:
Complex(): real(0), imag(0) { }
void Read()
{ cout<<"Enter real and imaginary number respectively:"<<endl;
cin>>real>>imag;
}
Complex Add(Complex comp2)
{
Complex temp;
temp.real=real+comp2.real;
temp.imag=imag+comp2.imag;
return temp;
}
void Display() { cout<<"Sum="<<real<<"+"<<imag<<"i"; }
};
int main()
{
Complex c1,c2,c3;
c1.Read();
c2.Read();
c3=c1.Add(c2);
c3.Display();
return 0;
}
Friend Functions
Consider the following class:
class X{
private:
int a, b;
public:
void MemberFunction();
…
}
Friend Functions

Global function:
void DoSomething(X obj)
{
obj.a = 3; //Error
obj.b = 4; //Error
}
Friend Functions

In order to access the member variables


of the class, function definition must be
made a friend
Example
function:
class X
{
private:
int a, b;
public:
…
friend void DoSomething(X obj);
};
Now the function DoSomething can
access data members of class X
Friend Functions

►Prototypes of friend functions appear in


the class definition

►But friend functions are NOT member


functions
Friend Functions
► Friendfunctions can be placed anywhere in the class
without any effect
► Access specifiers don’t affect friend functions or classes
class X{
...
private:
friend void DoSomething(X);
public:
friend void DoAnything(X);
...
};
Friend Functions
►While the definition of the friend function is:

void DoSomething(X obj)


{
obj.a = 3; // No Error
obj.b = 4; // No Error
…
}
►friend keyword is not given in definition
Friend Functions
►Ifkeyword friend is used in the function
definition, it’s a syntax error

//Error…

friend void DoSomething(X obj)


{
…
}
Friend Classes
• Similarly, one class can also be made
friend of another class:
class X{
friend class Y;
…
};

• Member functions of class Y can access


private data members of class X
Friend Classes
class Y{
private:
int y_var1, y_var2;
X objX;
public:
void setX(){
objX.x_var1 = 1;
}
};
Friend Classes

int main()
{
Y objY;
objY.setX();
return 0;
}
