Lesson Objectives

C++ Programming: Classes and Data Abstraction

define the C++ concepts of encapsulation and data hiding.

outline how classes can be defined and declared.

recognize how member functions are defined in a class.

outline how C++ uses the access control specifiers public, private, and protected.

identify the scoping rules used in a C++ class.

outline the ways that C++ classes use static members.

describe how C++ classes use friend classes and functions to gain access to protected class members and outline how the const keyword is used in C++ classes.

outline how to code a program that implements a simple time object in C++ and write a code for a simple object.

outline how constructor and destructor functions work in a C++ program.

code a constructor and a destructor program.

identify the uses of inheritance and derived classes.

describe the difference between single inheritance and multiple inheritance and identify the major programming considerations that concern multiple classes.
