TOPIC-1
Constructors

Short Answer Type Questions-I    [2 marks each]

Question 1:
Write four characteristics of constructor function used in a class.    [Delhi, 2014]
Answer:
(i) A constructor function has no return type.
(ii) Name of constructor is same as that of class.
(iii) A constructor can be called while creating objects.
(iv) If there is no constructor declared in class then default constructor is invoked. (1/2 mark for each characteristic).
Question 2:
What is a copy constructor ? Give a suitable example in C++ to illustrate with its definition within a class and a declaration of an object with the help of it.    [Delhi, 2015]
Answer:
A copy constructor is an overloaded constructor in which an object of the same class is passed as reference parameter,
class point 
{
int x ; 
public :
point ( ) {x = 0 ; } point (Point &p)    // copy
constructor
{x = p . x;}
};
void main ( )
{
point p1;
point p2 (p1) ;    // copy constructor is called here
//
OR 
point p3 = p1 ; //Copy constructor is called here
}
(1 1/2 Mark to be awarded if the copy constructor is explained with an appropriate example)
OR
(1 Mark for correct explanation of copy constructor only without an example)
(1/2 Mark for correct declaration of an object)

Circle(int r)//Constructor Overloaded
{
radius=r;
}
};    [1]

Question 11:
What is a Copy Constructor ? Give a suitable example of Copy Constructor using a class in C+ + .    [CBSE Comptt. 2016]
Answer:
Copy Constructor
• A copy constructor is a special constructor in the C++ programming language used to create a new object as a copy of an existing object.
• A copy constructor is a constructor of the form classname (classname &). The compiler will use the copy constructors
• whenever you initialize an instance using the values of another instance of the same type.
• Copying of objects is achieved by the use of a copy constructor and a assignment operator.
Example:
class Sample {int i, j ; 
public:
Sample(int a, int b) // constructor {i=a;j =b;}
Sample (Sample & s)
//copy constructor
{j=s.j ; i=s.j;
cout << "\n Copy constructor
working \n";
}
void print (void)
{cout<<i<<j<<"\n";
}
};
Note : The argument to a copy constructor is passed by reference, the reason being that when an argument is passed by value, a copy of it is constructed. But the copy constructor is creating a copy of the object for itself, thus, it calls itself. Again the called copy constructor requires another copy, so again it is called. In fact it calls itself again and again until the compiler runs out of the memory so, in the copy constructor, the argument must be passed by reference.    [2]

Question 12:
Observe the following C++ code and answer the questions (i) and (ii) Assume all necessary files are included :    [CBSE Comptt 2016]
class COMIC
{
long CCode;

public :
COMIC ()    //Member Function 1
{
cout<<"got..."<<endl; 
CCode=100;strcpy(CTitle, "Unkown"); CPrice=100;
}
COMIC(int C, char T[],float p) //Member Function 2
CCode=C;
strapy(CTitle, T);
CPrice=P;
}
void Raise(float P)
//Member Function 3
{
void Disp()
//Member Function 4
{ 
cout<<CCode<<";"<<CTitle<< " ; "<<CPrice<<endl;
}
-COMIC() //Member Function 5
{
cout<<"COMIC discarded! "«endl;
}
} ;
void main()                               //Line  1
{                                         //Line  2
COMIC Cl,C2(1001,"Tom and Jerry",75)      //Line  3
for (int 1=0;I<4;I++) /                   //Line  4 
{                                         //Line  5
Cl.Raise(20);C2,Raise(15);                //Line  6
Cl.DispO ;C2.Disp() ;                     //Line  7                     
      }                                   //Line  8
}                                         //Line  9
