Is virtual method similar to having an interface in Java? And what if a virtual method is not pure? Should it still be overloaded? And why should the destructor be virtual?

When will the intermediate C++ be available?

Source Files & OO Samples

  • Separate the application into “compilation units”
  • Each compilation unit is compiled into an “object” file which can be linked into an application
  • Compilation units include a header file to define the unit interface
  • Compilation units include a source file to define unit implementation
  • Best practice is to include one class, and name the files after it
  • This separation allows the implementation to be kept “secret” to avoid misuse by callers
  • The source file can be changed without recompiling entire application
  • A header might be included in multiple places, which can cause duplicate definitions.
  • We learn how to write headers that protect from problems caused by being included multiple times.
  • We show the C++ syntax for class definitions
  • We show the C++ syntax for class prototypes, saved in the header files, and class implementation, saved in the source files
  • Virtual base methods can be used to require derived classes to implement certain methods
  • Virtual base methods also allow for inherited Polymorphism, a powerful programming tool
  • Here is a link for more information about using classes and polymorphism in C++: http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/polymorphism/
