Unit - 2

Specifying a class – Defining a member functions – marking an outside function Inline – Nesting of Member functions – Private member functions – Arrays within a class – Memory allocation for object static data members – Static member functions arrays of objects – Objects as function arguments – friendly functions – returning objects consent member functions pointers to members – constructions – parameterized constructor multiple constructors in a class – constructors with default arguments – dynamic initialization of objects – copy constructor – constructing two dimensional arrays – destructors.

Unit - 3
