Invoke Virtual Function in Constructor or Destructor


Case 1: 

 class Dog {

 public:
Dog() 
{
cout << "Dog Born" << endl;
}

 virtual void bark() 
{
cout << "Dog barking" << endl;
}

 void SeeCat()
{
bark();  // first it check bark() in YellowDog else invokes in Dog class
}
};

 class YellowDog : public Dog 
{
public:
YellowDog()
{
cout << "Yellow Dog Born" << endl;
}

 virtual void bark()  // virtual keyword is optional
       {

cout << "Yellow barking" << endl;
}
};

 int main() {
YellowDog d;
d.SeeCat();
}
Output: 

 Dog Born
Yellow Dog Born

Yellow Dog barking
Case 2: why Virtual function in constructor  should be avoided
class Dog {

 public:
Dog() 
{
cout << "Dog Born" << endl;
bark();  Since construtor of yellowdog is not yet constructed, so bark of Dog class gets called.
}

 virtual void bark() 
{
cout << "Dog barking" << endl;
}

 void SeeCat()
{
bark();
}
};

 class YellowDog : public Dog 
{

 public:
YellowDog()
{
cout << "Yellow Dog Born" << endl;
}

 virtual void bark()
{
cout << "Yellow Dog barking" << endl;
}
};

int main() {
YellowDog d;
d.SeeCat();

}

 Output: 

 Dog Born
Dog barking
Yellow Dog Born

Yellow Dog barking

Case 3: why Virtual function in destructor  should be avoided

 public:
Dog() 
{
cout << "Dog Born" << endl;
}

 virtual void bark() 
{
cout << "Dog barking" << endl;
}

 void SeeCat()
{
bark();
}

 ~Dog()
{
bark(); // It invokes bark of Dog class because Yellow Dog is already been destructed.
}
};

 class YellowDog : public Dog 
{

 public:
YellowDog()
{
cout << "Yellow Dog Born" << endl;
}

 virtual void bark()
{
cout << "Yellow Dog barking" << endl;
}
};


 int main() {
YellowDog d;
d.SeeCat();

}
Output: 

 Dog Born
Yellow Dog B
Yellow Dog b

Dog barking

const used with functions

const used with functions : class Dog {    int age;    string name; public:    Dog() { age = 3; name = "dummy"; }         // const parameters and these are overloaded functions    void setAge(const int& a) { age = a; }    void setAge(int& a) { age = a; }         // Const return value    const string& getName() {return name;}         // const function and these are overloaded functions    void printDogName() const { cout << name << "const" << endl; }  // value of name can't be modified    void printDogName() { cout << getName() << " non-const" << endl; } }; int main() {    Dog d;    d.printDogName();        const Dog d2;    d2.printDogName();     }

Structured Bindings

Returning multiple Values from function C++ 11 vs C++ 17 Returning compound objects Iterating over a compound collection Direct initialization Returning multiple Values from function C++ 11 vs C++ 17 :  C++ 11 (std::tie): std::tuple mytuple() {     char a = 'a';     int i = 123;     bool b = true;     return std::make_tuple(a, i, b);  // packing variable into tuple } To access return value using C++ 11, we would need something like: char a; int i; bool b; std::tie(a, i, b) = mytuple();  // unpacking tuple into variables Where the variables have to be defined before use and the types known in advance. C++ 17 : auto [a, i, b] = mytuple(); Returning compound objects :  This is the easy way to assign the individual parts of a compound type (such as a struct, pair etc) to different variables all in one go – and have the correct types automatically assigned. So let’s have a look at an ...

Part1 : STL Algorithms (Non-Modifying sequence) in c++

Non-Modifying sequence operations : 1.  Non-modifying sequence operations:   _of (CPP 11) std::array all_of_elem = { 3,5,7,11,13,17,19,23 }; 1. if ( std::all_of ( all_of_elem.begin(),   all_of_elem.end() ,  [](int i) {return i % 2; } )) std::cout << "All the elements are odd numbers.\n"; std::array any_of_elem = { 0,1,-1,3,-3,5,-5 }; 2. if ( std::any_of ( any_of_elem.begin() ,  any_of_elem.end() ,  [](int i) {return i )) std::cout << "There are negative elements in the range.\n"; std::array foo = { 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128 }; 3. if ( std::none_of ( foo.begin() ,  foo.end() ,  [](int i) {return i )) std::cout << "There are no negative elements in the range.\n"; 2.  Non-modifying sequence operations:   find       std::string myints[] = { "Hello", "Hi", "Bye", "ByeBye" }; std::vector myvector(myints, myints + 4); std::vector ::iterator it;...
