C++ allows us to perform operations on files. We can read contents of a file and even write some content in the file through a C++ program. Isn’t that awesome? To perform operations on files, C++ provides several built-in functions. These functions are all declared in fstream header file. To perform operations on file, the fstream and iostream header files should […]

Consider we have to write classes for animals which displays their voices. We will require different classes for different animals. But there are a lot of features which are same across these animals. We keep all these similar features in a single class, like a template and extend this class for specific animals. Interfaces also

Mostly all members of a family share a common last name and that’s how outsiders recognize them. But to address the individuals we use first name along with the last name to uniquely identify that individual. Overloading is quite similar to what we saw above. Overloading suggests that two or more functions in the same scope

Why do I look so similar to my father? My nose is also exactly like him. That’s because you have inherited his features. Inheritance is when a class derives some properties from another class. Just like human beings inherit features from their parents. The class which uses/inherits the properties is known as derived class or sub class. And the class from which the features
