Comprehensive C++ Concepts and Examples
1. What is Polymorphism & Types of Polymorphism?
Polymorphism allows functions or methods to operate in different ways depending on the context. It improves
code reusability and flexibility.
Types:
- Compile-time Polymorphism (Static): Achieved by function and operator overloading.
- Run-time Polymorphism (Dynamic): Achieved through virtual functions and inheritance.
2. What is Understood by Object-Oriented?
Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) uses 'objects' to encapsulate data and functions. Main principles:
Encapsulation, Abstraction, Inheritance, and Polymorphism.
3. What Do You Understand by Overloading?
Overloading lets you define multiple functions/operators with the same name but different parameters.
- Function Overloading: Same name, different arguments.
- Operator Overloading: Redefining operators for user-defined types.
4. File Processing System in C++ & Its Advantages
Allows saving data in files using ofstream, ifstream, and fstream. Advantages:
- Data persistence
- Efficient storage
- Large volume data handling
- Easy backup and sharing.
5. Difference Between Static Binding & Dynamic Binding
Static Binding:
- Done at compile time
- Used in function overloading
- Faster
Comprehensive C++ Concepts and Examples
Dynamic Binding:
- Done at runtime
- Uses virtual functions
- More flexible.
6. Function Overloading Example
Example: Defining multiple 'add' functions for int, double, and string types.
7. Switch Statement Example
Use switch to select among multiple conditions efficiently (e.g., menu systems).
8. Looping Constructs Example
Shows usage of for, while, and do-while loops. Each has its specific use cases depending on logic and loop
entry conditions.
9. File Processing System & Advantages (Reinforced)
Further highlights benefits of file I/O such as logging, config files, and persistent data management.
10. Inline Function
Inline functions are expanded in place to save function call overhead. Use for small, frequently used
functions.
11. Friend Class Example
Friend classes allow access to private data of another class. Useful for tightly coupled components.
12. If-Else Statement Example
Used for branching logic based on conditions, e.g., assigning grades based on marks.

Minimal C++ program that performs a task in one statement using cout.
