  2. Nov 23, 2024Clearly fundamental types will only carry us so far. Compound data types. Fortunately, C++ supports a second set of data types: compound data types (also sometimes called composite data types) are types that are defined in terms of other existing data types. Compound data types have additional properties and behaviors that make them useful for ...
  3. Jan 4, 2025Quick review. Compound data types (also called composite data type) are data types that can be constructed from fundamental data types (or other compound data types).. The value category of an expression indicates whether an expression resolves to a value, a function, or an object of some kind.. An lvalue is an expression that evaluates to a function or an object that has an identity.
  4. Sep 11, 2023For this reason, structs and classes are sometimes referred to as composite types. Object Composition is useful in a C++ context because it allows us to create complex classes by combining simpler, more easily manageable parts. This reduces complexity, and allows us to write code faster and with less errors because we can reuse code that has ...
  5. Oct 26, 2024What are user-defined / program-defined types? Back in the introduction to the previous chapter (12.1 -- Introduction to compound data types), we introduced the challenge of wanting to store a fraction, which has a numerator and denominator that are conceptually linked together.In that lesson, we discussed some of the challenges with using two separate integers to store a fraction's ...
  6. Sep 30, 2024Data types. Because all data on a computer is just a sequence of bits, we use a data type (often called a type for short) to tell the compiler how to interpret the contents of memory in some meaningful way. You have already seen one example of a data type: the integer. When we declare a variable as an integer, we are telling the compiler "the piece of memory that this variable uses is going ...
  7. Sep 11, 2023A std::array isn't limited to elements of fundamental types. Rather, the elements of a std::array can be any object type, including compound types. This means you can create a std::array of pointers, or a std::array of structs (or classes). However, initializing a std::array of structs or classes tends to trip new programmers up, so we're going to spend a lesson explicitly covering this topic.
  8. Type aliases. In C++, using is a keyword that creates an alias for an existing data type. To create such a type alias, we use the using keyword, followed by a name for the type alias, followed by an equals sign and an existing data type. For example: using Distance = double; // define Distance as an alias for type double
  9. Dec 7, 2023In the previous two lessons, we've looked at two types of object composition, composition and aggregation. ... Any kind of data that allows you to link two objects together suffices. In the following example, we show how a Driver class can have a unidirectional association with a Car without actually including a Car pointer or reference member:
  10. Sep 11, 2023So far, we've explored 3 types of relationships: composition, aggregation, and association. We've saved the simplest one for last: dependencies. ... not members. Rather, the object being depended on is typically instantiated as needed (like opening a file to write data to), or passed into a function as a parameter (like std::ostream in the ...
  11. Dec 30, 2024Types of containers. Container classes generally come in two different varieties. Value containers are compositions that store copies of the objects that they are holding (and thus are responsible for creating and destroying those copies). Reference containers are aggregations that store pointers or references to other objects (and thus are not responsible for creation or destruction of those ...
