Study this deck

inverse of constructor functions, they take no arguments and have no parameters

Destructor

a class that can be used to instantiate an object

Concrete Class

can be used to invoke the constructor of the base class

Member Initializer

contains the declaration of the class, which includes the private and public sections

Class Definition

An object passed as an argument to a member function

Implicit Argument

a function that must be overridden by an concrete derived class. Indicated by a "= 0" in the member functions definition

Pure Virtual Function

Access specifier used to restrict the client's access to the class. Allow the member function and the friend access

Private Section

the specialized, or "child" class

Derived Class

allows an object pointer to reference objects of different types, and to call the correct member functions

Polymorphism

at the time that the virtual function call is made, the decision is made about which function to invoke

Dynamic(late) Binding

The general, or "parent" class

Base Class

occurs when a function calls on itself

Recursive Case

occurs when you assign an object of a derived class to an object of a base class, thereby losingpart of the informationd

Slicing

an inherited relationship where the more specialized class is derived from the base class

is_A relationship

the member functions

Class Methods

the process of dynamically binding a virtual function

Function Overriding

the decision is made at the compile time about which actual function to invoke

Static(early) Binding

A special predefined pointer that is assigned to the implied (invoking) object

This Pointer

function in base class that expects to be redefined in the derived class

Virtual Function

class member function definitions

Class Implementation

a class that cannot be instantiated and is usually implemented as a class that has one or more pure virtual functions

Abstract Base Class

Access specifier used to restrict the client's access to the class. Allow the derived class, member function, and friend access

Protected Section

the creation of an object of a class, involves using a constructor to initialize the object

Instantiation

the problem that we know the answer to, that can be solved without anymore recursive calls

Base Case

two constructors with different signatures. Allows for client flexibility during instantiation.

Overloaded Constructor

An object passed as an argument to a member function

Explicit Argument

when a class has an object of another class as a data member. This is a "has_A" relationship

Composition

Class A can grant friendship to Class B, Class B acquires access to Class A private data, but thereciprocal is not true

Friend (Class/Function)

includes at least the function name and the parameter list

Function Signature

function in a derived class that has the same name and parameter list as a function in the base class

Redefined function

Private function only accessible by other class function or friends of the class

Utility Function

a way to create a new class from an existing class

Inheritance

extends the capability of operators to work with user-defined types

Overloaded Operators

when a class has an object of another class as a data member

has_A relationship

The number of times a function calls on itself

Depth of Recursion
