Classes and Objects
In C++, classes and objects are the building blocks of object-oriented programming (OOP). A class is a blueprint for creating objects, and an object is an instance of a class.
Basketball Player Class Example
To understand the concept of classes and objects, let's consider an example related to basketball. We'll create a BasketballPlayer class that represents a basketball player. The class will have attributes like name, team, age, and height. It will also have a method to print the player's information.
Here's an example of a BasketballPlayer class:
TEXT/X-C++SRC
1// Class definition
2// BasketballPlayer class to represent a basketball player
3class BasketballPlayer {
4public:
5 string name;
6 string team;
7 int age;
8 double height;
9
10 // Constructor
11 BasketballPlayer(string n, string t, int a, double h) {
12 name = n;
13 team = t;
14 age = a;
15 height = h;
16 }
17
18 // Method to print player information
19 void printInfo() {
20 cout << "Player Name: " << name << endl;
21 cout << "Team: " << team << endl;
22 cout << "Age: " << age << endl;
23 cout << "Height: " << height << " inches" << endl;
24 }
25};
26
27int main() {
28 // Create a BasketballPlayer object
29 BasketballPlayer player("Kobe Bryant", "Los Angeles Lakers", 41, 78.0);
30
31 // Call the printInfo method
32 player.printInfo();
33
34 return 0;
35}xxxxxxxxxx38
}using namespace std;// Class definition// BasketballPlayer class to represent a basketball playerclass BasketballPlayer {public: string name; string team; int age; double height; // Constructor BasketballPlayer(string n, string t, int a, double h) { name = n; team = t; age = a; height = h; } // Method to print player information void printInfo() { cout << "Player Name: " << name << endl; cout << "Team: " << team << endl; cout << "Age: " << age << endl; cout << "Height: " << height << " inches" << endl; }};OUTPUT
