  • Q1. Polymorphism in C++
  • Ans. 

    Polymorphism in C++ allows objects of different classes to be treated as objects of a common superclass.

    • Polymorphism is achieved through function overloading and virtual functions.

    • Function overloading allows multiple functions with the same name but different parameters.

    • Virtual functions are functions in a base class that are overridden in derived classes.

    • Example: Animal class with virtual function 'makeSound', Cat and

  • Q2. Standard template library in C++
  • Ans. 

    STL in C++ provides reusable algorithms and data structures for efficient programming.

    • STL includes containers like vector, list, map, algorithms like sort, find, and iterators.

    • Example: vector v = {1, 2, 3}; sort(v.begin(), v.end());

    • STL saves time by providing pre-implemented solutions for common programming tasks.

  • Q3. Design Patterns in C++
  • Ans. 

    Design patterns in C++ are reusable solutions to common problems in software design.

    • Design patterns help in creating flexible, maintainable, and scalable code.

    • Examples of design patterns in C++ include Singleton, Factory, Observer, and Strategy.

    • Each design pattern has a specific purpose and can be applied in different scenarios.

    • Understanding design patterns can improve code quality and efficiency in software developmen

    (1 Question)

    • Q1. What are the pillars of OOPS?
    • Ans. 

      The pillars of OOPS are Inheritance, Encapsulation, Abstraction, and Polymorphism.

      • Inheritance allows a class to inherit properties and behavior from another class.

      • Encapsulation restricts access to certain components within a class, protecting the data from outside interference.

      • Abstraction hides the complex implementation details and only shows the necessary features to the user.

      • Polymorphism allows objects to be treated...

    • Q1. What is copy constructor ?
    • Ans. 

      Copy constructor is a special constructor that creates a new object by copying an existing object.

      • It is used to initialize an object with another object of the same class.

      • It takes a reference to an object of the same class as an argument.

      • It creates a new object with the same values as the object passed as argument.

      • It is automatically called when a new object is created from an existing object.

      • Example: MyClass obj1; MyC

    • Q2. What is shallow copy and deep copy ?
    • Ans. 

      Shallow copy creates a new object with the same reference as the original, while deep copy creates a new object with a new reference.

      • Shallow copy only copies the top-level object, while deep copy copies all nested objects.

      • Shallow copy is faster and uses less memory, while deep copy is slower and uses more memory.

      • Examples of shallow copy include copying arrays and objects using the spread operator, while examples of dee...

    • Q4. What are Virtual Functions ?
    • Ans. 

      Virtual functions are functions that can be overridden by derived classes.

      • Virtual functions are declared in a base class and can be overridden in derived classes.

      • They allow for polymorphism, where a derived class object can be treated as a base class object.

      • Virtual functions are called based on the actual object type, not the pointer or reference type.

      • They are declared using the virtual keyword in the base class and ca...
